The many shapes of evil...


Devil's Mountain got its name from the autoctones. One day, people were horseback ridding to the toward the summit. Suddently an earthquake created a fault that opened up and "the Mountain swallowed them forever" and shut back the fault. This story was almost forgotten until planes flew over the Mountain. Compas lost the north and other instruments went ballistic. One of these planes actually crashed into the Mountain, its carcasse is still there today.

No footsteps in the deep snow, but a cloud of vapory smoke hiding the full moon. Moon
The bridge drawned... Spring: The Mountain itself terrifies the hickers. Trees fallen over, cold air, fog, patterns of faces in the mud " like human souls were trapped in the mountain", the broken bridges "as if somethig enormous had taken a bite out of the bridge". Intese fog...
