EP: 476 The 40 MPH Creature and the Blood Altar in the Woods *members only trailer

The ground vibrated, his brother yelled something he never said, and when Jared looked out the window, something was sprinting up the driveway at a speed no man could run. Hunched forward, impossibly long arms held up like a raptor, a thick mane of hair down its back. His only reference was a video game. It looked like Blanka from Street Fighter, and in seconds it vanished into the Florida tree line. Years later, his brother-in-law, who had never heard the story, described seeing the same thing at the top of the street, along with a feeling of spiritual dread.
But the creature is only the doorway. Jared tells Luke and Nate about the years he spent living like a hermit in the mountains above Boulder, where his real encounters began. Blood-red quartz altars kept clean in the deep woods. A twenty-foot stone table with no dust on it, stones set to the compass points, that his dog refused to go near. A voice that told him a child of light was not welcome. It is a sprawling, firsthand account of cryptids, high places, and the sense that the ancient evil the prophets confronted never actually went away.
