About the author
Steve Stockton writes on unexplained and supernatural encounters tied to American wilderness areas, published by Beyond the Fray Publishing. National Park Mysteries & Disappearances: The Great Smoky Mountains National Park (2021) looks at the darker side of the country's most-visited national park, addressing reports beyond the usual crowds and scenery. Strange Things in the Woods: A Collection of Terrifying Tales (2020) gathers accounts of frightening experiences reported in forests, framing woodland settings as sites of both peaceful connection to nature and reported terror. Both books present themselves as collections of real-world reported encounters rather than fiction, aimed at readers interested in paranormal and cryptid-adjacent stories tied to specific outdoor locations.
