'The Tragedy at Deer Creek' is a cinematic adventure set in a remote, long abandoned logging camp, exploring the ambition, hardship and struggles of its people, and the tragedy that ultimately befell them. A story about the bonds of family and the sacrifices we make to protect those we love.
Explore the abandoned camp and uncover fragments of the lives once lived there.
Each discovery draws you deeper into the story of its people
...and the events that changed everything.
Find items from the past, holding clues as to what happened at Deer Creek.
Some were never meant to be found, some hidden in plain sight.
Photographer Charlotte Gray ventures to the long-abandoned logging camp at Deer Creek to complete her project ”Forgotten Frontiers” - a visual record of places time has slowly erased, and the quiet stories left in its wake.
What she finds is not simply an abandoned camp, but one that feels suspended in time, as though held in place by something unseen, as if its occupants stepped away only moments ago rather than decades. And in the heavy stillness of the vast, frozen landscape, Charlotte begins to sense something dormant - Deer Creek does not merely hold the stories of its past.
It yearns to set them free.
