Joshua shares a story from his youth about a frightening day along the local creek with his brother and a friend. After coming upon a display of deer skulls, mounted on sticks in the middle of the creek, the boys decided to vacate the area. It seems something followed them - as they got closer to home and had to cross through a long, dark tunnel, a large and hair-covered creature dropped into the creek behind them and chased them through the tunnel.
