A photographer heads deep into the backcountry of Great Smoky Mountains National Park with his 8x10, large-format film camera, drawn by the promise of fall fog and solitude.

But with the fog came an unsettling surprise.

Each morning, a figure appears at the edge of the trees. Tall, unmoving, always watching.

And then, one morning, it smiles.

What was meant to be a solitary creative retreat becomes a strange brush with a presence that doesn’t want to be seen, just remembered.

Odd National Park features your true paranormal stories from where the natural meets the supernatural.
