Testimonials
While Shelter 32 remains a regulated facility, those granted access often leave with more than memories — they leave with questions.
Below are a handful of accounts from visitors, staff, and others...
Dr. Sarah S. — Equine Behaviorist
“One of the stallions mirrored me all morning. Every step, every breath — perfect synchronicity. Then he broke formation, looked me in the eye, and nodded. That was the end of the session. I took the rest of the day off.”
John F. — Logistics Coordinator
“I wasn’t scheduled to enter Habitat 3, but a door was left open. The courtyard looked tended, but no one was around. I found a chessboard mid-game with no chairs. I moved a piece. The next day, it had countered.”
Selene R. — Medical Intern (Temporary Placement)
“The infirmary is incredible — state-of-the-art and then some. But what really stayed with me wasn’t the tech. It was the chart labeled ‘Species: Unknown (Name Given: Persephone)’ and the way everyone talked about her like she was a coworker on extended leave.”
Mirielle M. — Ecological Survey Technician
“I logged a footpath west of the ridge during my first field pass. No markers, just instinct. It felt like a migration route. The next day, I tried to follow it again — and wound up back at my starting point, with no deviation. My GPS says I walked nine kilometers.”
Naomi C. — Wildlife Enforcement Liaison
“I came to evaluate containment practices. Standard oversight. But one of the creatures — something canid-adjacent — kept its eyes on me for nearly forty minutes. It didn’t growl. Didn’t move. When it finally turned away, I had to sit down. I think it knew more about me than it should.”
"Some places change you. Shelter 32 makes sure you notice."
