Terror in the Cascades: A Road Trip with My Bestie

My best friend and I were on a road trip through the remote Cascade Mountains.

Along the way, she suddenly pointed out a figure in the distance waving at us from the hillside.

We thought it was a stranded hiker asking for help, so we immediately got out of the car and ran toward them.

But halfway there, my best friend suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Just as I turned to ask her what was wrong, I saw a look of absolute terror wash over her face.

Before I could even speak, she grabbed my hand tightly and sprinted back the way we came.
