I'm the Whistler. And I know many things, or I walk by night. I know many strange tales, hidden in the hearts of men and women, who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler Strange Story. Man on the run. It's night, but the usually quiet countryside near Connersville is far from quiet.
