Not long after the turn of the 20^th Century, a group of intrepid explorers set out to find a fabled cave in the mountainous, desert wastelands of South Africa. Though their journey had been fraught with danger, it would be nothing compared to the utterly bizarre beast that one of them would encounter within a cavernous orifice, which the indigenous Nama people had dubbed the “Wondergat” or, as it translates to English, the “Mystery Hole.”

In the dead of winter, in the middle of the 20^th Century, a solitary axe man ventured into an isolated stretch of New Hampshire forest to cut down pine trees for the fast approaching yuletide season. Little could this intrepid seasonal businessman have predicted that his annual moneymaking venture would land him smack dab in the middle of one of the creepiest unidentified creature confrontations on the books.

There is not a culture on Earth whose peoples do not have what some claim to be historical tales of mammoth, quasi-reptilian, often fire breathing monstrosities known as dragons. This globally ubiquitous beast’s origins have been traced back to 40,000 years ago when legends of these savage saurians first emerged from Sub-Saharan Africa. But now, as modern technology canvasses the planet and traditional beliefs in monsters of legend have all but faded from our collective consciousness, there has been a sudden and inexplicable surge in sightings of flesh and blood animals that can only be identified as dragons.

If the French New Wave maestro Jean-Luc Godard had decided to film a neo-realist, sci-fi interpretation of a Hardy Boys mystery, it could have been no more thought-provoking, surreal or disconcerting than the actual events that purportedly befell to a group of unsuspecting French youths autumn of 1973.
