## Resource

In this true scary story, we hear about what started as childhood summers in the remote Allegheny Mountains to solitary camping trips as a young adult. It was there where one man believed he understood the woods of West Virginia. He had the directions and knew the trails. But during one late-night hike back to his car, the forest changed. The insects stopped making noise, and suddenly he heard a large creature chasing after him. Was it a predator? A legend? Or something far older that still lingers in those mountains?
