🔥 How does a man end up naked in a hot spring for 28 days?
In 1984, a man Outside Magazine dubbed “Slim Becker” took an ill-advised winter soak in Idaho’s Frenchman’s Bend Hot Springs. His clothes froze solid, leaving him stuck, exposed, and slowly transforming into Moss Man.
From hallucinations of wolves to a bizarre town festival in his honor, this story is as absurd as it is unbelievable.
😱 Did he survive? Did he learn his lesson? And why did a guy on a snowmobile give him a beer instead of helping him out?!
