This file from the summer of 1995 brings us to the stark desert landscapes of Mono County, California, where a father and son's routine hunting trip became an encounter with the inexplicable.

Welcome to The Cryptid Archives, where twice a week, documented encounters become immersive journeys into the unknown.

Strange forms in dark forests, monstrous creatures soaring overhead, shadows beneath the water's surface - every account transforming the lives of those who've witnessed something outside what we believe to be normal.

The Cryptid Archives is a project dedicated to uncovering these witness statements from forgotten papers, books, forums, and folklore, bringing them to your screens for you to watch, listen, and learn. We adapt each encounter for modern media while weaving in the rich history and folklore of each area, creating an immersive narrative experience that preserves every detail of the original witness statement.

We hope you enjoy your time at the Cryptid Archives, and remember - keep your eyes open. You never know what you might see just on the edge of the road.
