Three accounts of Appalachian skinwalker encounters told in calm long form first person narration. A Forest Service officer in the Pisgah. A Search and Rescue dispatcher in Shenandoah. A patrol officer in the Cherokee facing his own coworker's face at five in the morning. Designed for sleep, long drives, late night listening, and quiet evenings. No jump scares. No music spikes. Calm and procedural throughout. Real world ranger districts. Real world creature lore. Three encounters bound by the same thing in the timber.
