A horror novelist, author of The Wolfen and The Hunger. In 1985 Whitley Strieber kept a secluded log cabin near Accord, in Ulster County, New York. October 4, 1985. A blue light, a sharp report, and later a small masked figure in the bedroom. He was the sole direct witness of the encounter he described in Communion. In January 1997 a photograph of the rumoured Hale-Bopp companion appeared on his website and that of Art Bell. Later, living near Elmendorf, he paid for DNA tests on the remains of the Elmendorf Beast.
