The Harvestman's Story

Despite the sinister connotations associated with the towns name, Dark Entry Colorado has always been a sleepy little town. Nothing out of the ordinary had ever happened here in more then two decades, the last incident was a very common occurrence around mountainous regions like Dark Entry, the resort on the cliff had been the site of several deaths. Most of these involved someone falling to their death from the precipice.

The town and resort were popular with tourists from all over the United States and Europe, thousands of visitors came to Dark Entry lodge each year. Like every town Dark Entry had its share of old legends and myths associated with it. Ironically none of these had much of an impact on the townsfolk, one would expect there to be at least a few individuals interested in such matters, but not in Dark Entry.

Only one legend has gained any popularity in the region, though it is actually the local legend from the next town over. This legend concerns a certain Serial Killer, or at least something which has taken on the role of a maniacal killer. There are others who have a very different take on the legend, one with a rather strange twist, these certain individuals claim that the killer is some kind of supernatural being.

This supernatural being; so these people claim, is not your garden variety evil murderer, but is in fact an Angelic being. Still others claim it is more of a creature then some kind of anthropological menace.

The winter season was coming to an end and some preparation was needed for the lodge to have a successful opening when the sunnier months of the year rolled in. Winter wasn't a particularly busy season, in fact the several falling-deaths had occurred at that time of the year, the place wasn't never completely empty, there were visitors all year round at Dark Entry.

Within the last few years certain unsavory characters have come to stay at the lodge, and the previous owners didn't care much for nosy types. In the last year or so an assortment of Ghost hunter types have vacationed at Dark Entry lodge.

Most of these visits turned up very little to further the interest of hunters, these paranormal researchers would quickly come to the realization that there wasn't much going on in Dark Entry, that no one in town believed in the legends, or even one person who even believe in ghosts.

When it comes to stories about ghosts no place is more famous then Dark Entry forest, these eerie woodlands stand directly behind the lodge and cover over a hundred square miles. In recent years Grizzly bears have shown up in the Colorado woodlands, although no deaths have been reported.

Not even these immense beasts could keep the supernaturally curious from venturing into Dark Entry forest. There is only one thing more frightening then the possibility of getting ripped to pieces by a large ferocious animal, and it can also be found within the woodlands behind Dark Entry lodge.

The old Remington residence stands a few miles into the woods.

If one travels in a perfect line, starting from the second ground level window on the right side of the lodge, finding the abandoned homestead is relatively easy. There is only one problem.......

The house is no longer vacant.

The weather outside was turning bad as the once majestic white clouds were overtaken by the ever increasing gray and black coverage of an oncoming storm, these storm clouds quickly brought forth the down pour that would dominate the remainder of the day, going on into the night and beyond till morning.

Many people had journeyed into Dark Entry forest in search of elusive ghosts and various other supernatural beings which were rumored to haunt the dark eerie woodlands.

Tales such as these had been told by the townsfolk of Dark Entry Colorado for decades, although in recent years the number of explorers and wannabe paranormal investigators has increased and now with the coming of yet another local legend their numbers were destined to rise even further.

There was one thing common to all of these accounts, a trend of facts which will no doubt continue now that the Harvestman myth has been adopted into local folklore.
