The Shadow in the Pines

A young woman disappears on a quiet highway. A family is slaughtered in their cabin. A survivalist’s final broadcast ends in silence. A hunter’s best friend vanishes, and his testimony shakes a courtroom. A construction worker disappears, leaving behind footprints too large to be human. Each case feels isolated—until the pieces start to connect. From the abandoned cars to the claw marks, from the strange recordings to the erased evidence, a chilling pattern emerges across the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

Dark Country: Cryptid Tales takes you inside six unsolved cases where crime, mystery, and myth collide… and asks the question no one dares answer: are these just tragedies of chance, or the work of a predator hiding in plain sight?
