Based on true events.

In August of 1976, three teenagers driving an isolated road outside Whitehall, New York came face to face with a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes. They did what no one in a monster story is supposed to do — they went straight to the police. And within days, the police saw it too. Trained officers. State troopers. Spotlights. Official reports. What happened on Abair Road turned a tiny Adirondack village into the Bigfoot Capital of the Northeast — a town that eventually passed a law making it illegal to harm the creature. But not everyone who met the Beast of Whitehall drove away with a story. Locals still speak of the ones the woods kept — and of a rifle found leaning against a tree, unfired. Join Carman Carrion for the true story of the Abair Road incident, the police officer who couldn't pull the trigger, and the town that chose to protect its monster.
