The Blood Moon has risen!

There have been many accounts from people claiming to have encountered a bizarre figure with an unsettling, never-ending smile. In the paranormal circles this entity is designated as The Grinning Man.

No one really knows, who or what the Grinning Man is. Its intentions are unknown. Is it just a human being? Or is it something else? Perhaps otherworldly? Is it benevolent, malevolent or indifferent?

Maybe there are multiple Grinning Men...from multiple sources.

The owl flies in with a story about one such entity that called itself Indrid Cold.

Now, turn up the sound and turn off the lights. The owl has a story to tell.
