Something is wrong in the small borough of Industry, Pennsylvania. For almost seventy years, there have been stories, whispers of strange goings-on in the hills above the Ohio River. In the suffocating darkness of these wooded roads, it’s said that animals turn rabid. That the shadows themselves will reach out and take you and that those the forest claims, the forest keeps.
All Dawn knows is that her sister went into that forest, and never came out. Too soon after, Dawn’s mother perished under psychiatric care, claiming she could still hear her missing daughter calling to her from the forest -begging for help- but so can Dawn! Since that first fateful night, Dawn’s sister has come to visit every time she closes her eyes, and recently, even when they’re open.
Desperate to find answers before she shares her mother’s fate, Dawn’s journey is spiraling towards its end. Before it’s over, she and those she loves will uncover the truth behind Mystery Mile…or die trying.

Additional Notes
Every small town has its secrets – some darker than others. As a child, director and screenwriter Josh Maley, was terrified by the chilling stories his father would tell him about Wolf Run Rd. aka “Mystery Mile” – a strange and eerie road that mystified the people of Industry, PA where his father grew up. Stories of animals going rabid and chasing after people, strange flashes of light, mysterious sounds, and people going missing on the road, haunted and inspired Maley. Bewitched by the urban legend, Maley spent years researching Mystery Mile. Now as a filmmaker, Maley is ready to share the mysterious road with the world.
Grimm Sleeper Productions presents The Way of Seeming – written and directed by Maley – a chilling independent psychological thriller inspired by the stories of Mystery Mile. The Way of Seeming is a story of five friends and their fateful connection to the road. The script was a finalist in the 2013 Just Effing Entertain Me screenplay competition and will have you at the edge of your seat until the last moment.
Maley is inviting the public to join in on the filmmaking process via the film’s Kickstarter campaign. With every tier of pledges comes a new way to engage the backer in the making of the film. Some rewards include: your own personalized “Missing Persons” ad and on screen memorials, being an extra in a party scene, hanging out with the cast, and even going on an actual ghost hunt on Mystery Mile!
“The story of Mystery Mile belongs to us all,” Maley says. “What better way to tell it than by engaging those who have helped keep it alive, who have spread it to other places?”
