The Mystery of The Raincoat Visitor

In this true and curious tale from his teenage travels, host Frank Girard recounts a surreal moment under the stars during a cross-country adventure with Western Caravan—a group of pre-med students exploring the American West.

While camping in the wilderness, Frank is visited in the middle of the night by a mysterious woman—naked except for a raincoat—who quietly steps into his tent. At the time, Frank was puzzled. But in hindsight, he realized this odd and unexpected encounter was far more telling than it seemed.
