THERE ARE CREATURES SCIENCE REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE.

BUT NEW TECHNOLOGY MAKES US QUESTION WHAT IS REAL.

COME ON!

ENTER A REALM WHERE FACT MEETS FICTION...

LEAVE ME ALONE!

...SCIENCE MEETS LEGEND.

OH!

ARE YOU ROLLING?

YEAH, IT'S ON.

GOOD, 'CAUSE I WANT TO GET EVERY BIT OF THIS.

IN AUTUMN OF 2005,

A GROUP OF COLLEGE STUDENTS LED BY ANNABEL LILITH

VENTURED TO A LOCAL CEMETERY TO VIDEOTAPE A SEGMENT

FOR ANNABEL'S GOTH-THEMED WEBSITE.

THE GROUP, WHICH INCLUDED CLASSMATES

OPHELIA, LUNA, AND SEVERIN,

WERE ALL FASCINATED BY THE SPIRIT WORLD.

BUT THEIR GRASP OF SUCH MATTERS WAS AMATEUR AT BEST.

ANNABEL'S INTENTION WAS TO FILM

THE INITIATION OF A NEW MEMBER INTO THEIR CLIQUE--

FELLOW STUDENT NORA CALLARMAN, WHOM ANNABEL HAD NOT YET MET.

SO, WHAT DID YOU GUYS TELL THE WANNABE ABOUT TONIGHT?

NOTHING.

ANNABEL, WE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING,

JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

SHE'S ACTUALLY REALLY VERY NICE.

SHE SITS NEXT TO US IN ENGLISH. SHE'S SMART.

SHE SAID SHE WAS IN A GROUP

IN HER OLD TOWN BEFORE SHE MOVED HERE.

OKAY, SO, WHAT'S HER NAME?

NORA.

THAT'S CUTE.

WELL, WE'LL SEE IF NORA THE EXPLORER'S THE REAL DEAL.

OTHERWISE, TONIGHT'S NOT GONNA BE SO FUN FOR HER.

THOUGH THE OTHERS WERE UNAWARE,

ANNABEL ALSO INTENDED, AS A PRANK,

TO FRIGHTEN THE NEW GIRL DURING THE CEREMONY.

BUT HER EFFORTS WOULD PROVE UNNECESSARY.

BY THE END OF THE NIGHT,

THERE WOULD BE AN ABUNDANCE OF FEAR

PROVIDED BY A PHENOMENON OUTSIDE THEIR CONTROL

AND BEYOND THEIR IMAGINATIONS.

OH, OH, LOOK, THIS IS HER HOUSE RIGHT HERE.

OH.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WANT TO GET ALL OF THIS ON TAPE, EVERY BIT.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING ON A DATE.

AW, LOOK AT HIM. IT'S CUTE.

HI.

UH, HI.

UM, I'M STEVE-- WELL, SEVERIN.

WELL, I MEAN, MY NAME IS STEVE, BUT I GO BY SEVERIN.

I'M NORA.

I'M ALSO KNOWN IN THE DARK CIRCLES AS SATAN'S CONCUBINE.

REALLY?

NO, I'M KIDDING.

HEY.

HI. GREAT DRESS.

WOW, THANKS.

OKAY, GUYS, CAN WE EXCHANGE MySpace PAGES LATER?

YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

YOU MUST BE ANNABEL.

SO, DORA, ARE YOU READY?

UM, IT'S NORA,

AND, SURE, SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

FUN?

WELL, THAT'S NOT QUITE THE WORD I WOULD HAVE PICKED.

DON'T LET HER FREAK YOU OUT, SERIOUSLY.

SHE'S ACTUALLY VERY NICE.

THE HELLHOUND IS SAID TO BE A MONSTER

SMELLING OF BRIMSTONE,

A CREATURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TIME

IN WHICH PEOPLE BELIEVED IN DEVILS AND DEMONS.

IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?

IT'S PART OF THE INITIATION.

NEOPHYTES ARE BLIND UNTIL THEY ARE GIVEN THE GIFT TO SEE.

OH, THAT'S NOT EXACTLY TRUE.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO HARD-CORE RULE ABOUT PROTOCOL.

"DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW."

THAT'S FROM ALEISTER CROWLEY'S BOOK OF MAGIC.

WELL, "DO WHAT I SAY" SHALL BE THE LAW TONIGHT.

THAT'S FROM MY BOOK.

HERE WE ARE, GUYS.

THIS IS A PERFECT SPOT.

THIS IS A PERFECT SPOT.

OH, MY GOD!

GET OFF MY CAR!

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

GEEZ, WHAT WAS THAT?

GOD, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

WHERE'D HE GO?

IT MUST HAVE RUN AWAY.

IT'S THE SECOND-LARGEST CEMETERY IN THE STATE OF INDIANA.

SOMETIMES UPON PEERING INSIDE OF THE MAUSOLEUM,

YOU MIGHT SEE THE DOG'S HEAD TILT.

IN THE EARLY-MORNING HOURS,

YOU MIGHT SEE THE FIGURE OF A DOG STROLLING THE GROUNDS

AROUND THE MAUSOLEUM.

GUYS, I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS BLINDFOLD IS NECESSARY.

OKAY, WATCH YOUR STEP.

I'LL DECIDE WHAT'S NECESSARY AND WHAT ISN'T.

ANNABEL, THIS PLACE IS WICKED CREEPY.

YOU GUYS HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.

I MEAN, WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE LIFE

THAN TO BE SURROUNDED BY DEATH?

AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHED,

THE GROUP POSITIONED AN ADDITIONAL CAMERA

TO CAPTURE WHAT ANNABEL CLAIMED

WAS AN ANCIENT INITIATION RITUAL.

UNAWARE OF HER INTENTION TO FRIGHTEN NORA,

THEY GATHERED AT THE FOOT OF A GRAVESTONE,

AND THE CEREMONY BEGAN.

SPIRITS OF THE SOMBER NIGHT,

THOSE WHO PRESIDE OVER MOON AND STARS,

HEAR OUR VOICES CALLING OUT TO THEE.

BLESSED BE.

SPIRITS...

WE APPEAL TO THEE.

SEE US BEFORE YOU NOW.

SEE THIS NEOPHYTE WE PRESENT UNTO YOU TONIGHT.

BLESSED BE.

SPIRITS FROM THE SHADOWS, WE EVOKE THEE.

RISE...

RISE AND SEE US SO THAT WE MAY COMMENCE.

SPIRITS...

...MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN.

THIS IS GETTING A LITTLE WEIRD.

SHH.

LET US BE SILENT

SO THAT WE MAY HEAR THE SPIRITS BLESS THIS RITE

WITH A SIGN OF THEIR PRESENCE.

THE LEGENDARY BLACK SHUCK,

THE GHOSTLY HELLHOUND SAID TO ROAM THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE,

WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR WHAT FAMOUS WORK OF LITERATURE?

FIND OUT NEXT.

SIGHTINGS OF THE BRITISH HELLHOUND BLACK SHUCK

DATE BACK TO THE TIME OF THE VIKINGS.

THIS PHANTOM BLACK DOG WITH FLAMING-RED EYES

WAS THE BASIS FOR SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S

SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY "THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES."

HOLMES AND WATSON FACE OFF AGAINST THE BEAST

IN THE STORY'S CLIMAX

AND DISCOVER ITS HELLISH APPEARANCE

WAS ACHIEVED BY THE CHEMICAL ELEMENT PHOSPHORUS.

SHH. WHERE DID IT GO, YOU GUYS?

WHERE IS HE?

GUYS. IT JUST DISAPPEARED.

IT DIDN'T DISAPPEAR. IT RAN AWAY.

DON'T TOUCH THAT! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DO UNDERSTAND.

WE ASKED FOR A SIGN. THAT'S WHAT WE GOT.

NO. NO.

THIS ISN'T RIGHT. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.

IT WAS A DOG. IT RAN AWAY.

THIS IS A SIGN!

WHERE DID IT GO?!

OH, MY GOD, YOU GUYS. GUYS, GUYS, CHECK-- GUYS! GUYS!

WHAT?

THIS WHOLE SPOT IS...

WHAT IS THAT?

...HOT! OH, MY GOD.

Dr. Nickell: THE HELLHOUND IS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE PLACES

THAT WE ASSOCIATE WITH THE OCCULT

AND THE OTHERWORLD--

GRAVEYARDS, TOMBS, REMOTE AND SHADOWY PLACES.

ANNABEL, I THINK WE SHOULD GO HOME.

YES, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.

I'M SERIOUS. WE HAVE TO FINISH THE RITUAL.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD STAY HERE.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN STAY HERE RIGHT NOW, ANNABEL.

ALL RIGHT, OKAY. YOU-- FINE, FINE.

YOU GUYS WANT TO LEAVE? YOU WANT TO LEAVE?

THEN YOU GO AHEAD.

LEAVE.

YOU'LL BE CAST OUT OF THE CIRCLE FOREVER.

COME ON, ANNABEL.

YOU'RE SO DRAMATIC!

LET'S JUST-- LET'S JUST FINISH THIS.

FINE, FINE! HERE WE GO.

PLEASE, LET--

LET'S JUST DO IT. LET'S JUST DO IT. LET'S JUST DO IT.

DO IT. DO IT. WE-- UGH, LET'S GO.

SHH.

SPIRITS, HAVING RISEN,

BEHOLD OUR COMMUNION.

ALLOW THIS...NEOPHYTE

TO DRINK THE SPIRITS' BLOOD

SO THAT SHE, TOO, MAY BECOME ONE OF US.

ANNABEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SHH!

OH.

WHAT WAS THAT?

ALLOW THIS...NEOPHYTE

TO DRINK THE SPIRITS' BLOOD

SO THAT SHE, TOO, MAY BECOME ONE OF US.

ANNABEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SHH!

OH.

WHAT WAS THAT?

THE CEREMONY WAS NOW COMPLETE,

AND NORA, HAVING SURVIVED ANNABEL'S PRANK

OF HAVING HER DRINK A FAKE-BLOOD CONCOCTION,

WAS OFFICIALLY INDUCTED INTO THE GROUP.

THAT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.

WOW.

NORA...

I GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF SIGHT.

YOU ARE ONE OF US NOW.

ALL RIGHT. AWESOME.

OKAY, GUYS, CAN WE GO NOW?

YEAH, LET'S GO.

YEAH. LET'S PACK UP THIS STUFF AND GET OUT OF HERE.

OH, WOW.

OH, MAN, I WAS SERIOUSLY SCARED WHEN YOU WERE DOING THAT.

I, LIKE, HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON.

IT WAS COOL. I KNOW. IT WAS REALLY TERRIFYING.

THAT WAS AWESOME. THAT WHOLE THING WAS WICKED.

SERIOUSLY, EVERYONE WAS FREAKED OUT.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THIS.

I AM SO SORRY.

I DID NOT KNOW SHE WAS GONNA DO THAT.

I NEED TO-- I NEED TO ASK YOU, THE DOG THAT YOU SAW,

DID YOU SEE IT TWICE?

WHY?

IT JUST-- AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

I NEED TO KNOW. CAN YOU JUST TELL ME?

OH, GOD!

WE BETTER RUN. OKAY? SEVERIN, RUN.

WHAT'S GOING ON? DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

DON'T LOOK BACK. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LOOK AT IT.

COME ON. WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM IT.

WHERE IS IT?

GET DOWN. GET DOWN. GET DOWN. GET DOWN.

GET DOWN. OKAY.

OH, MY GOD. CLOSE YOUR EYES.

WHAT? DO NOT LOOK AT IT.

JUST TRY TO CLOSE YOUR EYES, OKAY?

OKAY, OKAY. WHAT'S HAPPENING?

DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES.

WHATEVER HAPPENS, PLEASE, JUST DO NOT OPEN YOUR EYES.

OH, GOD.

JUST KEEP THEM CLOSED. KEEP THEM CLOSED.

DO NOT OPEN THEM. OKAY.

OH, GOD.

I THINK IT'S GONE. I THINK IT'S GONE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WE'RE OKAY. I THINK WE'RE OKAY.

ARE YOU SURE?

I'M PRETTY SURE. I THINK SO, YEAH.

NO, I THINK WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE FINE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

OPHELIA. ANNABEL.

SEVERIN. OH, MY GOD.

ARE YOU OKAY?

THERE YOU GUYS ARE. OH, MY GOD.

NO, I TWISTED MY ANKLE RUNNING FROM THAT STUPID DOG AGAIN!

IT IS NOT JUST A DOG.

OF COURSE IT'S A DOG.

NO, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND. THAT IS NOT JUST A DOG.

YOU'RE TRYING TO SCARE THEM!

ANNABEL, YOU GUYS, SERIOUSLY, SHUT UP!

OKAY, HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SEE IT?

WELL, WE SAW IT ONCE ON THE WAY IN, IN THE CAR.

AND WE-- WE SAW IT DURING THE RITUAL.

AND WE JUST SAW IT AGAIN.

WELL, YEAH, WHEN WE WERE RUNNING, WE SAW IT AGAIN.

YOU SEE IT THREE TIMES, AND YOU WILL DIE.

WHAT?!

YOU WERE A MISTAKE!

WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED YOU INTO THE GROUP!

NO, YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T LIKE THIS. LET'S JUST GO.

WE HAVE TO GO.

WE NEED TO GO, YOU GUYS. WE NEED TO GO, SERIOUSLY.

I AM NOT TRYING TO SCARE YOU.

I DON'T EVEN CARE IF SHE'S TRYING TO SCARE US.

I WANT TO GO! SHUT UP. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

EVERYONE, WE NEED TO FIND THE CAR RIGHT NOW.

LET'S GO. LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

I'M LISTENING TO THEM. LET'S GO HERE.

LET'S GO.

WHAT'S THAT NOISE?!

THE CAR IS OVER HERE. OH!

OH, MY GOD! LUNA, ARE YOU OKAY?

WHAT HAPPENED? IS SHE OKAY?

OH, MY GOD.

YOU ALMOST COMPLETELY SMASHED YOUR FACE IN GLASS.

GET UP.

ARE YOU OKAY?

OH, MY GOD. MY GOD, IT'S COMING TRUE.

IT IS COMING TRUE!

NO, IT IS NOT COMING TRUE. SHE'S JUST TRYING TO FREAK YOU OUT.

CAN'T YOU SEE HOW IMPRESSIONABLE THEY ARE?!

NO, I'M NOT. I'M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH.

SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

I ALMOST DIED. BUT YOU DIDN'T DIE.

YOU DIDN'T DIE, DID YOU?

LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE!

YOU GUYS, GO! HURRY UP! HURRY UP!

BE CAREFUL.

GO, GET IN. GUYS.

I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU IN.

IT'S NOT ME YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT.

GET IN THE CAR.

COME ON.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

GO, GO, GO, GO!

ANNA, GO. I'M TRYING. IT WON'T START.

WHAT?!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ANNABEL?

START THE CAR!

IT WON'T START.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE. I DON'T WANT TO DIE.

YOU GUYS ARE CONVINCED THAT YOU'RE GONNA DIE

BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T START?

IT'S STARTING. DO YOU BELIEVE YOU'LL LIVE?

OH, MY-- ANNABEL.

SHUT UP! JUST GO!

GO!

I'M GONNA DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!

SHUT UP!

WE'RE GONNA BE OKAY. WE'RE GONNA BE OKAY.

WE DIDN'T SEE IT THREE TIMES, SO WE'LL BE FINE.

I SAW IT THREE TIMES.

YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF BABIES.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE ALL OUT!

YOU ARE OUT!

I'M SO SICK OF YOU! ANNABEL, WATCH OUT!

OW.

OH, GOD.

SEVERIN?

YOU LOOKED.

OH, GOD.

OW.

OW.

THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL RECORDS

OF A NORA CALLARMAN BEING REGISTERED AT THE UNIVERSITY.

HER TRUE IDENTITY REMAINS A MYSTERY.

ANNABEL, LUNA, OPHELIA, AND SEVERIN

WERE ALL PRONOUNCED DEAD ON THE SCENE.

TRACES OF SULFUR WERE DISCOVERED ON AND AROUND THEIR VEHICLE,

BUT NO EVIDENCE OF A DOG OR OTHER CANINE SPECIES

WAS DETECTED.

THE IMAGES CAPTURED ON VIDEO THAT NIGHT

OF A HARMLESS PRANK GONE HORRIBLY WRONG

PRESENT US WITH A GRIM AND UNSETTLING PROPOSITION.

ARE THESE BEASTS PURELY THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARISH LORE,

OR DO THEY LIVE AMONG US?
