Indrid Cold: Unexplainable Encounters with West Virginia's Smiling Man
What if everything you thought you knew about cryptids was only the beginning of a rabbit hole you couldn't pull yourself out of? There is always more than meets the eye; there is always more to the story. And in this case, the story of Indrid Cold, the Smiling Man who supposedly came down in a spaceship to greet the people of West Virginia, will make you question everything you thought you knew about cryptids. Think of this tale as the "lore behind the lore." Because the further you go, the deeper the story.
