Transcript
It had no head. Just two red eyes, burning from its chest. Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Nineteen sixty-six.
Two couples drove past the old TNT factory, and it dropped from the sky. Ten feet tall. It chased their car at a hundred miles an hour... and kept up.
Dozens more saw it. Red eyes at bedroom windows. On the bridge. Then December came, and the Silver Bridge folded into the river. Forty-six souls, gone.
The last sighting was the night before. Warning, or witness? If it came to save them... why let them fall?
Every autumn, the reports return. The same red eyes. The same empty space where a head should be. Point Pleasant never stopped looking back.
Stitch this video if you'd drive the TNT road at midnight. Follow for a new true nightmare every day. Sleep with the lights on, if you can.
Dramatized for the telling. The facts above are documented; the narration is the Draugr’s retelling of them.
