White Invaders 

When a young boy tells Don that he’s seen a ghost, Don only laughs. There’s no such thing as ghosts – and the little boy probably saw a reflection. But to prove the boy wrong, Don and his friend go to the hill where the boy says that the ghost floated towards him and through a rock. Don, however, brings his shotgun just in case – after all, it could’ve been a wild animal of some kind. And when they discover that it wasn’t a ghost at all, but something altogether weirder, they must defend themselves from the onslaught of these White Invaders – or face the annihilation of everyone they’ve ever known!
