In the late 1960s, an ice encased corpse surfaced in Rollingstone Minnesota. It was humanoid, hairy and unlike anything zoologists had ever seen. Dubbed the Minnesota Iceman, it’s been classified as both a neanderthal and a sasquatch before being revealed as a carnival hoax. But to this day, researchers and Sasquatch fans still debate over the authenticity of the frozen body. The subsequent investigation and reporting became so heated that it shattered the friendship of the two founders of cryptozoology.

I work in film and tv, both behind the camera and in the editing room. I’ve been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 20 years. Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with cryptids, the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I believe that everything deserves to be explored, and nothing exists in a vacuum. Every belief we hold, every experience we have and every story we tell is influenced by our background, our situation and the world around us.
Favorite horror movies:
Hereditary, Burnt Offerings, His House, Creature from the Black Lagoon, anything Godzilla, The Ritual, Lake Mungo, Underwater, Amityville Horror (1979), Alien, Trollhunter
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Shining, Pickman’s Model, The Yellow Wallpaper, Was it a Dream?, A Headful of Ghosts, the Night Watch series, Crouch End, Something is Killing the Children
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Either a cadborosaurus, so I’d be able to swim around the ocean, or Mokele-Mbembe because dinosaurs are awesome
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Woodworking, flyfishing, giving treats to cats

As an introvert that thrives on deep, meaningful conversation, I guess I’m a walking paradox. I grew up in a creaky old farmhouse in Upstate New York where I played with frogs and made all the adults call me Macgyver. When I was a kid, I saw something that looked like a sasquatch run through the swamp behind my house. I’m fascinated by what we think we see and what beliefs we hang on to, even as more information comes to us. Let’s get into it.
Their horror novel, ANA MUST DIE (AGAIN) is forthcoming from Evil Twin, spring 2027.
Favorite horror movies/TV shows:
Parasite, Paranormal Activity, One Cut of the Dead, Hush, Creep, Midnight Mass, Train to Busan, Nope, Midsommar
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Terror, House of Leaves
If I was a cryptid, I’d be:
Bigfoot because you’re always warm, you’re an apex predator, and you live alone in the woods away from people. What more could you ask for??
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Martial arts, knitting/crochet, exploring nature, writing

As a kid, I was terrified by the paranormal, but also fascinated with it. I read a book on poltergeists in elementary school and kept a keen watch on myself as an early tween, just in case it might happen to me. Ghosts aren’t real but I really hope one day I experience something I can’t explain. I’m always curious about what we think we understand, what we don’t, and what stories we tell ourselves about it all.
Favorite horror movies:
Lol no. I hate being scared and as a result, I have seen very few horror films and almost always refuse to watch them. Casper has a ghost in it, right? Just kidding. I do love The Shining - red rum!
Favorite horror books/stories:
Again, I have read very few. But the two I’ve read, remember, and loved are classics: The Tell Tale Heart and The Call of Cthulhu.
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Probably a Yeti, because I love the snow.
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Reading non-fiction and hanging out with friends.
