00:00There's something about the woods at night that stirs a primal part of your brain.
00:04That ancient whisper reminds you, you're not the only one watching.
00:09The deeper you go, the louder that whisper becomes.
00:13And on the Pioneer Trail, that whisper turned into a scream.
00:19I'd joined the hike reluctantly, unsettled before my boots even touched the dirt.
00:25It wasn't the long trek or the mosquitoes.
00:28It was something else.
00:30Something I couldn't name.
00:31But the silence out there wasn't natural.
00:36The shadows moved a little too deliberately, suggesting hidden dangers.
00:41I used to think nothing lived out there but squirrels and deer.
00:45Now I know better.
