This episode will describe one such case. It will feature a community crippled with fear and overcome by a feeling of defenselessness. A community in which it's most vulnerable were preyed upon by a beast too frightening to be dreamt up. Like many of horror literature's greatest villains, by day this monster hid in the forest that surrounded the village and only at night, under the cover of darkness, would it enter civilization to exercise it's wickedness.
