About the Kushtaka Footage
Emily Reyes and her friends built their paranormal YouTube channel on abandoned places, local legends, and the hope that one day they might capture something real.
After acquiring a mysterious old compass, Emily and her friends discover that its needle does not behave normally. The needle spins aimlessly until something paranormal is nearby, then steadies, pointing directly toward the source.
When they take the compass into the wilderness of Olympic National Park in search of the Kushtaka, they believe they have finally found their proof. At first, the footage is everything they hoped for. But then the voices begin.
The Kushtaka stalking them knows how to imitate the people they love. It knows how to turn fear into suspicion, isolation into panic, and the forest itself into a trap. As the group retreats to a secluded cabin, their search for evidence becomes a fight for survival.
The Kushtaka Footage is a supernatural wilderness horror novel about found footage, cryptid folklore, and the cost of chasing proof of the unknown. It is part of the Department of Paranormal Investigation series, a collection of standalone but connected horror stories involving paranormal artifacts, entity encounters, anomalous locations, and the hidden government agency tasked with containing the threats behind them.

Department of Paranormal Investigation
Part of the Department of Paranormal Investigation Series Books
The Department of Paranormal Investigation Series follows the classified cases of a clandestine federal agency tasked with investigating what the public was never meant to know.
Each book opens a new file from the DPI archive. Some cases begin with evidence. Others begin with rumors, legends, or recordings that should not exist. By the time DPI arrives, the official story is already falling apart.
Each case can be read on its own, but together they reveal a larger mythology buried beneath decades of classified files, suppressed incidents, and unanswered questions. The public gets the explanation. DPI gets the truth.
