Writer Statement

Being a Big Fan of the Paranormal after watching Observation Point Rock on YouTube, and the testimony of the Marines that were stationed there during the Afghan War. I was inspired by other events that occurred in Afghanistan witnessed by Soldiers on Operations & decided to include them all into one Screenplay. Which each event is still under debate by Debunkers, Investigators & even the United States Government.
