January 29th, 2013. Sleet was falling down that night in Ballinamore, Ireland. Catherine Vallely and her friend were driving through the slush, when they saw something strange in the headlights. It was a man standing in the middle of the road. He was soaking wet with a scruffy grey beard, his thin body draped in tattered clothes and a plastic sheet. Taking pity on him, the two women stopped and offered him a lift. Once inside, the stranger told them that for the past eight months he’d been kidnapped, starved, and held in an underground bunker. This man was Kevin McGeever, and his story is like nothing you’ve ever heard. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Back in 1974, a Japanese college dropout called Norio Suzuki heard a rumour. Apparently, on a lone island in the Philippines, far out in the dense jungle, was a Japanese soldier – a lieutenant no less - who’d been there since the end of World War 2, that’s almost 29 years at this point - refusing to surrender! Initially, Norio brushed this off as a hoax – if he’d been missing for that long, he must have been declared dead! Plus, there was no way someone could survive out in the jungle for that long.

Inspired by this wild legend, he decided to take matters into his own hands, and embarked on a daring adventure to find the lost soldier and bring him home! But it wouldn’t…
