📍 STORY 1: THE THOROFARE FOOTPRINTS (September 2017)
A hiker vanishes from the most remote spot in the Lower 48. His campsite shows no signs of struggle—but the footprints leading away are 18 inches long with 6 toes. His body is found 12 miles away with thermal burns... but he died on dry land. And something kept his campfire burning for 9 hours after he was already dead.

📍 STORY 2: THE NORRIS EMERGENCE (March 2019)
Something climbs out of a 459-degree geothermal vent at Norris Geyser Basin. Ranger Sarah Chen witnesses a humanoid figure, blackened and cracked, with no eyes—but it turns its head toward her like it's watching. The Basin is closed to the public immediately. Five years later, it's still closed. And Sarah? She's 250 miles away in Colorado... but the thing keeps appearing on her trail cameras at 2:34 AM every night.

📍 STORY 3: THE ZONE PROTOCOL (2021)
The Zone of Death—a 50-square-mile area where crimes can't be prosecuted—has one unwritten rule: rangers don't patrol after dark. Rookie ranger Alex Mercer ignores the rule. At 11:03 PM, something mimicking other rangers surrounds his truck and convinces him to open the door. He's found 8 months later, standing dead in the woods, lungs full of volcanic ash, boot treads melted off.

⚠️ These stories are based on documented Yellowstone incidents, real restricted zones, and reported ranger experiences. While dramatized for storytelling, the locations, thermal dangers, and suppression protocols are grounded in real cases.
