(upbeat music)

- Welcome.

I hope you'll come back to us.

- We will.

Thank you, Brother.

- So nice to meet you.

- You too, sir.

- What is it?

- Nothing.

- We used to live in Lake Charles,

but my dad got a job where he moves around a lot.

Now we live by the lake on Poke's Road.

- Well, welcome, Nathan.

And thank you.

- It doesn't look like your daddy's

gonna make it home for dinner.

Father, we come to You

in the name of Jesus.

- We pray for each other's needs

as we know them to be,

and, Father, as you know them to be.

Give us the courage and ability

to be a strong witness for You.

- Why don't you come sit up here?

I got so much stuff to do on top of my homework,

I'm about to go crazy.

- You have to work?

- I got chores to do for my dad.

I got a prayer group meeting at church.

And I got this paper to write in English,

and I don't want to.

- I'm good at that kind of stuff.

- You are? - I like English.

- Well, I'll come over later,

and you can help me.

It's about railroads.

The paper is.

I could help you with some other stuff, like math.

I'm pretty good at math.

- Okay.

- See ya.

- Bye.

(horse neighing)

- Yeah, I wanna go.

- I like Brother Will.

- I like him better than Preacher Rutherford.

All he does is talk about sinners

and going to hell.

- I'm tired.

I was dancing all day.

- You gotta let me come watch you practice some time.

You want a ride?

- Yeah.

We should probably go.

- All right.

You sure it's okay?

- Yeah, I was just finishing up my homework

while you were doing your chores.

- Mrs. Johnson says you skipped a grade.

You're supposed to be pretty good at English,

even if you are younger than me.

I just hate to write stuff.

- I like it okay.

- I copied this down from the World Book Encyclopedia.

- There's a lot of information here.

You should really narrow down your topic.

- What about just "steam engines"?

- All right.

- I thought you boys might want something to drink.

- Thank you, Ma'am.

I guess I ought to be embarrassed,

getting a kid like you

to help me with my homework.

- I take English with the juniors.

That's just one grade below you.

I'm not a kid.

- Why, I didn't mean it bad.

I just mean you're a bit

younger than me, that's all.

I appreciate the help.

You'll like living out here

in the summertime.

It's real peaceful.

Nobody comes around.

- Is it okay to walk in the woods?

- Yeah, I go out there all the time.

There are some great places out there.

Camping grounds,

Indian burial mounds.

There's even a haunted house and stuff.

I'll show you.

- I bet you have a lot of work to do

because it's a farm.

- Yeah, it's all outdoor stuff.

I like that.

What about you, Nathan?

Did you ever live on a farm before?

- No, we lived in towns mostly before.

But my dad wanted to live in the country this time.

- So, why'd you move out here?

Nobody moves to St. Francisville.

- Well, my dad got a job.

Selling tractors in Shenandoah.

- You sure do like this school stuff, don't you?

- It's all right, I guess.

- I don't see how anyone could like school.

- Beats staying home all the time.

- So you stay at home too much, huh?

We can fix that.

- [Nathan's Mom] Nathan,

it's almost bedtime, sweetheart.

- It's good.

- Thanks, Nathan.

You want to hold on to these for me?

Hey, Nathan.

- Hi.

- Hey, my dad's got a new Marlin.

30 30.

She got some real kick to her.

- We should check it out this weekend.

Do us some deer huntin'.

- You ever been huntin' before, Nathan?

- No. - You should come.

Even if you don't kill anything,

hunting's fun.

- We should go out for the whole weekend and camp out.

I mean, we've been talking about going campin'.

- Yeah, it's all been talk 'cause someone can't get away

from the girlfriend for a weekend,

spend time with his buddies.

- Yeah, you're the hold up, Roy.

What do you say?

(bell ringing)

- Bye. - See ya.

I told you I was coming.

Did you forget?

- No.

- Algebra's simple.

You learn to work from both sides of the equation.

So, Mr. Sawyer's department store

sells socks,

six pair for $1.97.

How many nickels in $1.97?

If you have four quarters,

six dimes, and two pennies?

Well, first you subtract.

Then you divide to find the value of x.

There's a graveyard over yonder.

- Can we go there?

- You sure you want to?

- I want to.

- The Kennicutts used to own all this land,

that's what people say.

There were two

Kennicutt plantations,

one that burned down,

and another one off in the woods.

- Why is it called Poke's Road?

- Poke's Road stretches a long way.

There must have been some Pokes

on it once upon a time.

Bring my books in the morning.

I'm going on home.

- Where'd you go?

- Out back.

There's a graveyard out there.

- By yourself?

- No, with the boy next door, Roy.

- Oh, he's a nice boy.

There's a Western on the TV.

You ought to come watch it with your dad.

- No, sir.

- All right, go on to bed.

- [Roberts] John chapter 13,

verses 21 through 26.

"Jesus was deeply troubled,

"and He testified,

"'One of you will betray Me.'

"The disciples looked at one another,

"at a loss as to whom He meant.

"One of His disciples,

"the one Jesus loved,

"was reclining at His side.

"John leaned back on Jesus' chest

"and said,

"'Master, who is it?'

"Jesus answered,

"'it is the one to whom

"I will hand the morsel

"after I have dipped it.'

"So he dipped the morsel,

"and he handed it to Judas,

"son of Simon the Iscariot."

Let us pray.

- You comin' in?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing after?

- I've got homework, and I've got to run an errand.

- You want some company?

- No, I've got to pick up a prescription for my mom.

She's waitin' on it.

- Is she okay?

- Yeah, she is.

- Do you want to go inside?

- Touch me.

(erotic moaning)

Did you ever do this before

with anybody?

You promise?

- I promise.

I've never done this with anybody.

- 'Cause it's okay if it's just me and you.

- Hi, Roy.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, Nathan.

- Hi.

- Roy tells me you just moved here from somewhere,

but for the life of me, I can't think of where.

- Lake Charles.

Yeah.

We used to lived in Slidell before that.

And Pearl River.

- Pearl River's a nice town.

- Don't you get tired of moving around so much?

- Sometimes.

But it's all right, though.

- Your family go to the Baptist church in Clinton?

- Yes, Ma'am.

- You know, we go to the Holiness church in Jackson.

And I just wanted to tell you that your daddy

and your momma and you are welcome to join us anytime.

- Thanks, Ma'am.

- Well, I better go look after Roy's daddy.

If you boys want anything, let me know.

- Thanks, Ma'am.

It was nice meeting you.

- Nice to meet you.

- You wanna go riding around town tonight?

- I have to ask my mom.

I'm sure she'll say yes

if you come with me.

Hey, Mom.

- Please, Ma'am, I was hoping

you might let Nathan come out riding with us tonight.

- Well, you know your daddy

don't like you to run around,

and we got that church supper tonight.

- I don't have to go this time, do I?

- Well.

No.

Him and me in church

is plenty for one night.

- Thanks, Mom.

- Thanks, Ma'am.

I'll have him back by , 11 'o clock I promise.

Get ready.

I'll meet you by my truck.

- Nathan?

- Yes, Mom.

- Do you need some money?

I got $5.

- You know, your daddy's been real nervous lately,

and I couldn't get him to lay down last night.

He didn't rest.

- [Nathan] So, where are we goin'?

- We're gonna go meet Randy and Burke.

- You drink beer?

- Yeah.

You reckon' you can keep quiet about it?

- It doesn't bother me that you drink beer.

It's okay.

- Answer my question.

- I can keep quiet about it.

I can keep quiet about anything.

- We're going swimming.

That's where we're going.

- But I can't swim.

- You can watch me.

- [Burke] Yeah!

Did you see that ride?

- [Roy] Yeah, sure did.

- What'd you think about that?

- [Nathan] It's pretty high.

- It's high, all right.

- I bet you won't do it.

- I bet I won't either.

- I'm with you, Nathan.

I ain't jumping off that top part either.

I got no need to break my neck.

- Well, I do.

Whoo!

- Glad you came out here with us, Nathan.

- Let him alone Burke, he can't swim.

- Well, maybe he'll learn if I throw him in.

- Don't bother him, Burke.

I mean it.

- Are you man enough to jump in the water right now,

or am I gonna have to throw you in?

- I don't want you to throw me in!

- Then you gonna jump! - I want you to let me go!

- Leave him alone!

Let go of him!

- I didn't throw him in the water.

I should have, though.

Nice ride, buddy.

- [Randy] Yes, it was.

- What did you think?

- It looked like something was chasing you all the way down.

I wish I could swim.

- I'll teach you.

Next time, it'll be just us.

If you get the feeling

- You wanna go somewhere now?

Wanna go to a movie or somethin'?

I don't mind.

Do you mind?

- What?

- Comin' out here.

- No, I don't mind.

- Well, we could go to a movie sometime, too.

I ain't tryin' to hurt anybody.

- You ain't hurt nobody.

Touch me.

Where'd you learn screwing like that?

Huh?

Who taught you to screw like that?

Answer me!

- Nobody.

- You're a liar.

- No, I'm not.

Roy?

Roy, please.

- [Nathans Mom] Harland.

Come on downstairs.

- Nathan.

I'm talking to you, Nathan.

I know you're awake.

I saw your eyes come open.

Did you have a good time tonight?

You better answer me, or I'm coming in there.

- Yes, sir.

- Your mom was the one who said

it was all right for you to go out.

It wasn't me.

Where'd you boys go?

- Swimming.

- Did you go swimming, too?

- No, sir.

- That's right, you don't know how.

Open your eyes, Nathan.

Look at your dad.

- I'm sleeping.

- Open your eyes.

- [Nathans Mom] Harland.

Harland, what're you doin' up there?

- I'm talkin' to Nathan.

- Come on downstairs.

Leave him alone he's tired.

- Let me check on Nathan for a moment.

I'll be down there in a little while.

- You promised me that you wouldn't bother him.

- I told you it's all right.

I'm checking on him

to see if he had a good time.

You shouldn't let him go out like that.

He ought to come to church with us.

- He can come to church with us on Sunday.

Come on downstairs.

Please.

Come on.

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

- Did he touch you?

Did he touch you?

- Nathan?

You out here?

- I called you a couple times.

Everything all right?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

- I was kind of hoping I'd get to see you on Friday.

- I had some stuff I needed to do.

- I know that there's something wrong.

Why don't you just tell me what it is?

What is it?

Did I do something?

- No, nothing, I just got to get home.

- Roy, please.

- Nathan!

Nathan!

- [Roy's Mom] Roy!

Come back.

- How long have you been out here?

- Since after supper.

- You were out here last night, too.

- Yeah.

- I gotta go inside pretty soon.

My parents will be wondering where I am.

- Hey, it's okay I'll be fine.

- You can't stay out here.

- Yes, I can.

- You should come to my house.

- Your parents will send me home.

- You can sleep in the barn tonight.

I'll show you a place.

You and your folks have a fight?

- [Nathan] Yeah, somethin' like that.

- You'll be safe in here, okay?

- Thanks.

- Good mornin'.

Did you sleep?

- Yeah.

- I think your mom is awake.

The light's on in your kitchen.

I'll hide these.

You get ready for school, okay?

- Don't run from me!

- Get away from him!

- So I talked to Burke and Randy.

We're gonna go camping this weekend.

- All right.

- About time you lazy assholes got here.

- I see you got your ma to let you come with us.

That's good.

- Nathan ain't no baby.

- [Burke] So, where we goin'?

- It's a secret place my uncle showed me.

A good long walk into the woods.

Pretty far from everything.

- What the fuck's here? - You'll see.

- We'll see? - Hush up, Burke.

Enjoy the walk.

(thunder rumbling)

- So much for nice weather.

- You don't want none for yourself?

- No.

- What's the matter?

You want some more?

- I'm good.

- You tell me when, partner.

- A lot of people killed in these woods.

- Don't start now, Roy.

- No, I mean it.

Two men just killed here last summer, wasn't it?

- That's right.

Two of 'em.

- Them two suckers from East Baton Rouge.

They found one of them hanging upside-down

with his nuts cut off.

- You two son of bitches don't scare me.

- You know a lot of stories, Roy, don't ya?

- What do you say, Randy?

You want to hear some ghost stories?

- Suit yourself.

- All right.

So this man from Madisonville was goin' out with this girl

he shouldn't have been goin' out with

'cause she was married.

She didn't want to leave her husband

'cause he was a rich man,

and they lived in this huge mansion together.

So this man, Jimmy Hicks,

decides he's gonna kill this guy

'cause he wants this girl all to himself.

So he drives up to this huge mansion

with doors, like, nearly twice the size of him,

and he knocks on the door three times.

The woman's husband comes out,

and he pulls a hatchet from behind his back.

The guy tries to plead with him,

but it doesn't make any difference.

So he turns and runs, and Jimmy brings the hatchet

right down on the guy's back.

And he doesn't stop there.

He keeps on swinging, and he chops the guy up

into little bits.

With that last swing,

he cuts the guy's hand right off.

Now he decides he's gonna bury him in his own backyard.

So he takes him out back, digs a grave,

tosses the body in piece by piece.

Then, when he's finished, he remembers

the bloody hand with all the fingers.

- Dammit, Burke!

Cut it out!

- But he goes back, and the hand's not there.

So he figures he must have buried it.

He goes home, takes a shower,

washes all the blood off.

When he comes out, it's dead quiet.

He hears a knock at the door.

(knocking three times)

So he goes up to the peephole.

No one there.

So he figures his mind's just playing tricks on him.

So he turns, goes to bed.

Now, sometime in the middle of the night, he wakes up.

He can't breathe.

He reaches out, but there's nobody there.

There's a weight on his throat.

And he tries to get up,

and he goes to the mirror by his bedside,

and he sees the hand

wrapped around his throat.

Now, every now and then, police

in Madisonville find two lovers dead.

They don't even bother questioning anybody,

'cause they know it's the curse

that was brought on by Jimmy Hicks that's done 'em in.

- You scared yet, Nathan?

- No.

(thunder rumbling)

- Do you hear that?

- A storm's coming in.

We better get some more wood for the fire.

Come on.

- Need some help?

- Naw, it's okay.

- [Ghostly Voice] Nathan.

- What are you looking at?

- Nothing, just listening to the wind.

- Listen to that.

Wild.

- It sounded like someone's voice.

- It's the rain.

Come on.

- Thank you for bringing me out here.

- I used to go camping when I was little

with my dad all the time.

We don't do much stuff like that anymore though.

- I've never been camping with my dad before.

- I don't like your dad much.

He came out to the barn the other day to talk to me.

He talked about you some.

He said he noticed we were getting

to be good friends.

He was glad you were getting out of the house.

He said you were too quiet, you live in your head.

You stayed home too much.

He said that you make up things

that never happened before.

I think he figured out

I knew where you were sleepin'.

Do you mind when I don't do the same thing back to you?

- No, I don't mind.

(upbeat music)

- Careful, it's slippery.

Now we go this way.

Let's rest for a while.

We still got a ways further to walk.

- It's hot out here.

- [Roy] Sure is.

- Well, this place is a little spooky.

- People don't come out here much anymore.

My Uncle Hebon used to take me out here when I was little.

- Where?

What the hell's out here?

- There's a farm at the end with a big house.

Nobody lives there anymore.

- No thanks, not yet.

- Roy.

- Nope.

- Fine, more for myself.

- Let's walk.

This is what I wanted to show you.

- It's a plantation house.

My dad told me about this place.

He saw it one time when he was huntin'.

- I didn't know there was ever any plantation out here.

- The Kennicutts owned it.

They were kin to some of the people

that owned our farm, where you live, Nathan.

The place is supposed to be haunted.

My Uncle Heben says he saw it

in a book about Louisiana ghosts.

The last full-blood Kennicutt who lived there

got killed by one of his slaves.

And they cut off his head.

Legend has it he still walks

around the place looking for it.

My uncle Heben told me that every

family's that lived there since

has had a tragedy.

It's been abandoned for over 30 years.

- Roy, it sounds like you're tellin' ghost stories again.

- This is true.

- I say we go get a closer look.

- That figures.

Let's go upstairs first.

- [Ghostly Voice] Nathan?

You awake Nathan?

- [Burke] What is that?

- [Randy] What's that down there?

- [Nathan] That's blood, ain't it?

- [Roy] It looks like it.

- What's that smell?

- It's sulfur.

- How do you know?

- They said the Devil used to smell like sulfur.

- Oh, that's real funny.

Shit!

- What is that?

Did you see that? - Yeah.

- [Burke] I don't see anything.

- Shut up!

- He's there.

- Where do you see him?

- [Burke] Nathan's full of shit, man.

There's nothing out there. - Be quiet!

- No, man, he's trying to scare us!

Son of a bitch!

Give me the flashlight!

- No, I'll hold on to it!

- Come on Randy, let's see what's up there.

- Come on.

That sure scared the shit out of me.

Did you really see something?

My uncle told me

he saw a ghost here one time.

- You think that's what we saw?

- I don't know.

But if it is a ghost,

I bet it's that old man.

If someone cut my head off,

I'd want it back.

- There's more to ghosts than that.

- How do you know?

- I don't, it just,

it just feels like there's all kind of ghosts.

- Are you trying to scare me now?

- No.

But this place does feel like there's people in it.

Don't you think so?

- I don't know.

- Have you ever been to a place

where it feels like you've been there before?

- No.

You feel like you've been here before?

- Not quite.

More like I'll never leave.

- [Ghostly Voice] Nathan.

- What is it?

- Nothing.

I thought I heard something.

- It's probably the guys.

- Do you remember what we did when you were a little boy?

- What is it?

What's wrong?

What do you see?

- I thought I saw somebody.

- Don't look.

I don't know what it is you see,

but don't look anymore.

- What are you doing?

- So, this is what you guys do?

- Get the hell out of here!

- You see that, Randy?

- Yeah.

- Looks like Roy sucks dick pretty good.

- Jesus, Roy.

You do that to him?

- Get away!

- [Ghostly Voice] Nathan.

I saw you.

Roy had your dick in his mouth

when he was in front of you on his knees.

Do you suck his cock?

- He wasn't doing that.

It wasn't like that.

- Yes, he was.

Do you like me doing it?

You ain't goin' nowhere.

- [Randy] Jesus.

Jesus, he's dead, ain't he?

- Go catch up with Burke.

You think it happened like Burke said?

- I don't trust nothin' Burke said.

Go on, now.

(sniffling)

He's over here, Mr. Davis.

- [Roberts] Dwell with them,

and they will be His people.

And He will be their God.

And God shall wipe away

all tears from their eyes,

and there shall be no more death,

neither sorrow, nor crying,

neither shall there be anymore pain

for the former things

are passed away.

And He that sat

upon the throne said,

Behold, I make all things new.

- Nathan!

(dramatic music)

I can still remember

My window let me through

I watched you wander

And a light came to your room

Let's go out riding

Autumn comes so soon

But it's just another

Willow bowing to the moon

From the falling in the leaves

Across is in the vines

Didn't know where else to be

As we faint in the night

Are we closing our eyes

I shouldn't be here

What are we gonna do

Will you remember

Will you remember

Will you remember

Will you remember

Will you remember

Will you remember

Searching for a man

A little boy

Oh no

Searching for a little boy

He's lost, he's lost, he's lost

Someone called

Dogs a hound

Get a searching party

Come on no doubt, no doubt

He's out there

He's out there somewhere

Poor little boy

They need to do

Can't you see

Don't you gain

Let the boss get a

Hold of you

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah
