On a cold and snowy day in January of 1994, a land surveyor for the North Carolina Department of Transportation parked his car at the edge of Highway 421 in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

After walking just a few yards away from the side of the road,

he was already swallowed up in the deep woods that stretched for miles

into Whetaga County.

Given the cold air and snow underfoot, the surveyor was paying close

attention to where he was walking and hoping that the job would not take long and he'd

be back inside his warm vehicle before his toes actually froze. That was, until the man glanced ahead at the fallen tree

ahead of him and before he saw something he just couldn't make sense of, peeking out of the

snow in the shadow of the upended roots.

Squinting, the man took a few more steps closer just to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks

on him. A moment later, he dropped the hard plastic case that contained his surveying equipment and nearly fell backward as he

scrambled to get away from the mound of snow in front of him.

Then, looking desperately through the thick trees for the other members of the survey team, the calm around him was

shattered as he started yelling for help. But before we get into that story, if you're a
