Summary
Jonathan awoke from a 19-month coma with fragmented memories, aware only of his identity, family, and a vague sense of a catastrophic event. Trapped in darkness, unable to move or see, he struggled to piece together his past, haunted by fleeting sensations of fear and being thrown through the air. As he regained consciousness, he heard voices, including his wife Madison’s, and slowly began to recognize his surroundings and family, who had aged significantly. Learning he had been comatose for over five years due to brain trauma, Jonathan grappled with the loss of time, his job, and their homes, as well as the amputation of his leg, while his family filled him in on their new life in North Carolina. As Jonathan’s recovery progressed through therapy, he pieced together more of his life as a former CFO and Harvard graduate, but the cause of his injuries remained elusive until a visit from his brother-in-law, Jeremy, triggered memories of a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail. Alone after Jeremy left due to a family emergency, Jonathan was stalked and attacked by an unknown entity that tore apart his tent and threw him against a tree, causing his injuries. A Bigfoot documentary later triggered a full recollection of the terrifying encounter with a non-human creature. Now, in the safety of his new home, Jonathan is haunted by the clear memory of that night, realizing his long recovery is only the beginning of coping with the trauma.

| 0:33.2 | that word. I was in a location where there was an ovular, ovular ring of trees, and when they |

| 1:27.6 | When I landed, something big and heavy took off and ran away. |
| 1:31.4 | It felt like thunder in the ground, even on that bed of needles and I felt every step it took |
| 1:37.3 | vibrating through the earth. |
