For centuries an eldritch ichor has seeped from the lava tubes under the Cascades. Legends of giant, hairy creatures have filled the regional folklore but the Bureau calls it all a hoax.

Well, renown cryptozoologist, Dr. David Carvin doesn't believe the shadow agency and he's gone looking for the truth. Smoke now billows from the peaks and the doctor has ceased contact. Piece together the clues, find the truth.

It's all connected.


The Spirits in the Firs is a modern (1980s) survival and investigative horror campaign for Liminal Horror and is set in a semi-fictional version of the Pacific Northwest. Players will take on the role of paranatural investigators on the trail of a lost cryptozoologist, chasing down secrets, uncovering clues, encountering the weird, evading government agents, and hopefully finding the truth... before it is too late!

Travel from PDX International Airport all over Oregon, Northern California, and Southwest Washington piecing together dark, paranatural history of the region. Explore folklore with an eldritch twist. All whilst racing the apocalyptic clock.
