Three true Alaskan horror stories inspired by real events. A hiker follows a child's cry into an unnatural fog; a lone worker is tormented by an impossible knock at his door; and stranded men accept a meal they will forever regret.
**
These tales from the edge of the world explore the chilling reality of the Alaskan wilderness, where isolation is a weapon and the line between sanity and terror is as thin as cracking ice. This collection of psychological horror and unexplained phenomena will take you from a fog-choked mountain pass to a lonely pumping station haunted by grief, and finally to a remote trapper's cabin where a gruesome secret is on the menu. These are not just scary stories; they are warnings whispered on the arctic wind.
Story 1: Erased
A hiking trip in the Chugach Mountains turns into a desperate ordeal when a thick, unnatural fog descends, erasing the world. When a young woman's rational friend hears the sound of a crying child, he ignores her pleas and the warnings from local folklore about a creature called the Kushtaka. He vanishes into the mist, a heroic fool chasing a sound that feels like a trap. This tale of supernatural horror documents an unexplained disappearance in the Alaskan wilderness, a chilling encounter that proves some legends are real for a reason.
Story 2: The Winter Guard
For thirty years, a lone pipeline worker has guarded a remote pumping station, his only rule: never open the door for anyone. His isolation is shattered by a mysterious knocking, a sound that shouldn't be possible in the vast, empty snowscape. This psychological horror story chronicles a descent into madness as the sound begins to torment him, morphing into a cruel echo from his past—the secret code shared with his deceased daughter. Is it grief consuming him, or is there a malevolent entity in the endless night, patiently waiting to be let in?
Story 3: The Last Supper
Stranded on a frozen lake, three men are saved when they stumble upon a remote cabin and a solitary young woman named Anna. She offers them warmth and a rich, savory stew that chases the brutal cold from their bones. But as the storm rages outside, a horrifying discovery in an old shed reveals the unspeakable truth of their survival. This story of survival horror and cannibalism is a gruesome reminder that the most dangerous predators are not always the ones you expect in the wild.
