THE FOREST'S BLIND SPOT. THE BACK-TRACKER. THE THING YOU NEVER SEE.

Deep in the Pacific Northwest, there's something that watches — but only when you’re not watching back. The Hidebehind is a creature of pure evasion, forever out of view, slipping just behind your shoulder no matter how fast you spin to face it.

Loggers used to tell stories of men vanishing during midnight outhouse runs or being stalked through dense pine stands. They blamed the Hidebehind — a creature that feeds on fear, solitude, and the kind of silence that makes your neck itch.

Descriptions are rare. Blurry. Contradictory. Some say it's tall and skeletal, others say it’s hunched and shadow-thick. But everyone agrees on one thing: you never see it head-on. And if you do… you're already too late.

You don’t catch the Hidebehind. You just pray it’s watching someone else.
