⭐ ABOUT W.G. HILTON

W.G. Hilton is an American author, storyteller, and creator of the Cryptic Sense Universe (CSU)—a growing world of dark folklore, paranormal mystery, and high strangeness. Combining decades of personal experience, intuitive insight, and a lifelong fascination with the unexplained, Hilton crafts immersive tales that live where emotion, fear, and wonder collide.

Hilton is the mind behind the Mac Henshaw Series, beginning with Mac Henshaw: The Curse of IronGate Creek—a cinematic, character-driven paranormal thriller that blends grounded investigation with ancient myth and modern mystery. Through the eyes of Mac, Hilton explores the hidden fractures between our world and the unknown.

Beyond his novels, Hilton is the creator and narrator of Cryptic Sense, a rapidly growing YouTube channel dedicated to folklore, cryptids, high-strangeness cases, and original CSU lore. His work bridges storytelling and investigation, offering audiences a uniquely grounded yet imaginative experience.

Rooted in Southern heritage, spiritual depth, and hard-earned life perspective, Hilton’s writing is driven by one purpose:
to tell stories that matter—stories that linger, stories that reveal the shadows behind the ordinary, and stories that remind us that mystery still walks beside us.

🔥 THE CRYPTIC SENSE UNIVERSE

The CSU is Hilton’s expanding fictional world of paranormal lore, original creatures, cosmic forces, and interconnected legends. Built across books, cinematic shorts, and Codex entries, the CSU reveals the hidden forces behind the unexplained—where every legend has teeth… and every mystery watches back.

⭐ BEHIND THE FORGE

Hilton refers to his creative engine as The Forge—the imagination, passion, and fire behind every book, video, and character.

Forged from real stories, real experiences, and real belief that the world is far stranger than it seems, Hilton uses The Forge to shape myth into meaning and to carry readers deeper into worlds that feel alive, ancient, and waiting.

W.G. Hilton writes from the quiet Meridian, Mississippi region, where the woods run deep, the nights stay still, and ideas move like shadows along the treeline.
