TrailOff: River Devil II (Schuylkill River Trail)

River Devil II: The Return by Carmen Maria Machado is an immersive horror story that follows the Schuylkill River Trail from Manayunk to Shawmont.

About the story:

All Mercedes wants is to do her job: capturing behind-the-scenes shots for a cheesy horror movie sequel shot in Manayunk with her conspiracy-theorist camerawoman, Bernice. But travelers beware; the deceptively beautiful Manayunk Canal may have other ideas… Nature fights back in this cryptozoology-meets-The-Blair-Witch-Project horror story — River Devil II: The Return.

About TrailOff:

TrailOff is an audio storytelling app that syncs to your movements as you walk a trail. Each story is uniquely crafted for its site, written by incredible local authors who will explode the way you think about taking a walk outside. Created by Swim Pony and the PA Environmental Council, this FREE project aims to diversify the stories we imagine when we think about the environment.

Make sure to download the TrailOff App, and this story before you go. Your phone needs to stay open on the app for the story to play, so make sure that you have plenty of battery before you start.
