In the remote Uintah Basin, where whispers of Aztec gold and lost Mormon mines mingle with tales of the unexplained, the Blind Frog Ranch team returns for another unsettling adventure. This time, in “The Skull,” they’re not just unearthing historical artifacts—they might be unearthing some seriously bad mojo.
Duane Ollinger, the ranch’s proprietor, has long believed his 160-acre spread holds secrets far beyond rusted pickaxes and forgotten tunnels. He’s been chasing those secrets through a labyrinthine network of underground caves, and this season, the mysteries seem to be multiplying faster than jackrabbits in springtime.
In this episode, Chad and Eric venture into the surrounding mountains and stumble upon an abandoned mine. While the prospect of discovering a hidden vein of riches is always tantalizing, a creeping sense of unease settles over them. They’re not alone, it turns out. Someone—or something—seems to be watching their every move, and the guys think better of sticking around. Who or what is shadowing them in the desolate peaks? Territorial claim jumpers? Guardians of forgotten lore? The answer isn’t exactly easy to get at.
Back at the Bead Site, the team makes a more disturbing discovery. Evidence of potential sacrifices surfaces, hinting at rituals and ceremonies performed in the area long before anyone whispered of buried treasure. The site, known for its unusual bead-like formations, takes on a grim new significance. Are these findings connected to the unsettling presence Chad and Eric felt in the mountains? Or are they glimpses into a separate, equally enigmatic chapter of the ranch’s history?
Frankly, Blind Frog Ranch continues to offer a strange brew of treasure hunting, historical intrigue, and high-grade weirdness. While the quest for gold and silver remains a driving force, the series never shies away from the oddities that make the Uintah Basin such a magnet for those drawn to the strange and unexplained.
Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch airs Wednesdays at 10 PM on Discovery.
