Troy Turner is a writer living alone in a secluded cabin in the Rocky Mountains. He thought the small, peaceful valley miles away from the busy resort town of Hawthorn would be the perfect setting for his work. He invites two of his closest friends to stay a few weeks to do some hunting in the rugged and remote area. After their arrival, Troy gives them a tour around the property and plans are made to get an early start the next day. Morning arrives quickly and the eager hunters head out to the woods to settle in for a long hunt. Soon, an unexpected storm front moves in, and they are forced off the mountain. As they begin making their way down, they are suddenly and viciously attacked by a beast they can't believe is real. Separated from the others, badly injured and desperate to escape, Troy attempts to go for help. The winter storm makes the drive down the mountain road extremely treacherous and with his injuries making it more difficult, he loses control and wrecks his Jeep. He is found unconscious by a snow plow driver and wakes up days later in a hospital bed. Troy tells the unbelievable and horrifying story of the cryptid encounter on the mountain and desperately pleads for help for the friends he was forced to leave behind. Believing it to be a sensationalized story geared at publicity, the sheriff all but dismisses Troy's unbelievable claims, but when a search uncovers the body of one of the men and the other one missing, Troy becomes the prime suspect. How can he prove his innocence when the real killer isn't supposed to exist?

Everyone has, at one time, or another witnessed something that they can't explain. Maybe felt the presence or heard voices of someone or something when alone. Or, perhaps seen something in the woods that, in their mind, shouldn't exist.Imagine hiking along a favorite trail, just you and your Labrador, when suddenly, an eight-foot-tall creature covered in dark hair from head to footsteps into the trail in front of you. Your dog, usually scared of nothing, cowers behind you, whimpering. The creature notices you, turns, glowers and charges. You have no way to defend yourself. You close your eyes praying, knowing that you'll be torn to shreds any second and there is nothing you can do to stop it. The next thing you know, you realize you're back at your car, and hours have passed that you can't recollect.Maybe you have gone to bed exhausted, fallen asleep only to awaken paralyzed? You are fully awake but frozen and held down with a crushing weight on your chest? You can see, feel and think, but you can't move or speak. Did it feel like there was a presence of someone or something staring at you when suddenly it was gone just as quickly as it came?Have you ever driven a dark, lonely road when you look up into the night sky and see a shimmering light, one that moved in ways that defy the laws of physics?Thousands of eyewitnesses claim very similar events. Others have had similar experiences but cannot recollect the details or the passing of time.The human mind can repress traumatic events in the name of self-preservation, often leaving vague impressions coupled with vivid glimpses of past events. The encounters within are actual events that are not just interesting but shocking and terrifying. I have been fascinated by these stories of cryptid and paranormal encounters. I hope you enjoy these actual encounters as much I had interviewing the witnesses.
