New Netflix documentary Murder Mountain is being called “terrifying” by fans who claim it’s “haunting their dreams"
NEW Netflix documentary Murder Mountain is being called “terrifying” by fans who claim it’s “haunting their dreams”.
The streaming hit is about a series of missing persons cases in Humbolt County, California, linked to the cannabis growing industry.
It tells the story of Garret Rodriguez, who disappeared in 2013 after working on a cannabis farm.
The documentary follows Garret’s family as they recount how they found out he’d been shot, buried, and then dug up by locals wanting to see the killer bought to justice.
But with some pretty dark scenes – the show recreates his death with actors – it’s been giving viewers nightmares.
“I watched pretty much the entire season of Murder Mountain last night and wow it f***** me up. My dreams were terrifying” said one fan.
Another added: “Murder Mountain is one of my most enthusiastic thumbs up of the year. Equally terrifying and fascinating.”
“#MurderMountain is f****** nuts I never knew a place like this existed. So weird/scary,” another viewer said.
Murder Mountain refers to an area of Humbolt County where backpackers go for summer employment on pot farms then disappear after getting involved with black market drug traffickers who’d rather they ‘go missing’ instead of get paid for their work.
According to US news reports, an average of 717 people per 100,000 go missing in Humboldt County every year – the highest per-capita rate in America.
35 people went missing last year alone.
‘Murder Mountain’ (actually called Rancho Sequoia) was also where serial killers Suzan Carson and Michael "Bear" Carson, known as the San Francisco Witch Killers, are suspected to have killed one of their victims, Clark Stephens, in 1982.
