Deep in the mist-shrouded hollows and ancient limestone bluffs of the Ozarks lies a hidden corridor - a fault-aligned seam where the Night Dwellers walk between worlds. For twenty-seven years, F. K. Sterling has documented their presence: amber lights emerging from inside ridges, the unnatural silence that precedes them, crop formations that tune electromagnetic portals, and systematic biological sampling of the people and land along the Buffalo River fault zone.
From Cherokee Moon-Eyed People and Yunwi Tsunsdi traditions to M. R. Harrington's forgotten Bluff Dweller excavations, from the 1897 airship wave and the 1965 Fort Smith mass sighting to Terry Lovelace's Devil's Den encounter and a previously untold 1947 incident above Yocum Creek in Carroll County, Sterling assembles a coherent picture: these are not visitors from the stars. They are residents of an adjacent state, using the Ozarks' geology as infrastructure.
Now living in Eureka Springs on the Corridor's western shoulder, Sterling connects the dots from his kitchen table above Magic City Commons - where the same bluffs that host the annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference rise behind him. Neither sensational fantasy nor sanitized folklore, this is twenty-seven years of raw fieldwork, indigenous memory, and unflinching honesty about the government accommodation that traded local consent for technology.
For locals and visitors drawn to the mystical hills around Eureka Springs, this book reveals the living system under your feet. The Ozarks are not a place things happen to. They are a place that does things. (Ozark Lore Books)
