Who is the man in the box?

A man (or woman, depending on the tale-teller) is rumoured to be living at the poles. He spends approximately six months at the Antarctic pole, then six at the Arctic pole. To get from one to the other he is transported in a private cargo plane, re-fuelled in flight by a ‘military’ fuel transport. The man himself is transported in a matte black box made from hardened plastic and a seamless fiberglass shell. This box is guarded by a mixed UN force of a dozen soldiers from all over the world. When they arrive at the destination pole, they leave the box on the permafrost and quickly evacuate the area.

Some claim that the man is performing some sort of ritual that requires the almost nonexistent amount of sunlight during the polar nights. This ritual, they say, will plunge the world into eternal night once it is complete.

Others believe that this man is the only thing standing between our civilisation and a catastrophic pole shift which will wipe most forms of higher life from the planet.

Some claim that he’s Dracula. But they’re foolish, as most of the occult underground is in agreement that Dracula died on August 14, 1969 on a farm in New York state.
