1
00:00:02,803 --> 00:00:05,148
The vast
North American wilderness
2
00:00:05,172 --> 00:00:07,717
is home to evil forces
3
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:10,887
thought only to exist
in nightmares,
4
00:00:10,911 --> 00:00:14,746
but the terrible creatures
that roam here are all too real.
5
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:21,932
In the darkest, most dreadful
part of the forest
6
00:00:21,956 --> 00:00:25,524
dwell those that hunt
and those that are hunted.
7
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:34,911
That thing was close enough
that you could smell it.
8
00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:37,848
Run!
It approached the tent.
9
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:40,784
It did feel like a horror movie.
10
00:00:40,808 --> 00:00:43,286
We both just stared
at each other.
11
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:44,421
- There's...
- Ah!
12
00:00:44,445 --> 00:00:45,722
There's someone here!
We need to go now!
13
00:00:45,746 --> 00:00:47,924
This was one of
my greatest fears.
14
00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:49,226
Go, go, go, go, go!
15
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:50,761
"I'm dead. I'm dead.
16
00:00:50,785 --> 00:00:52,350
This thing has got me.
I'm dead."
17
00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:05,186
Forests, like this one
in Washington state,
18
00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:07,688
are an ideal place
to go hunting,
19
00:01:07,712 --> 00:01:11,492
but you never know
what you might run into.
20
00:01:11,516 --> 00:01:12,927
You always want to be prepared.
21
00:01:12,951 --> 00:01:14,762
If you're heading into
unknown territory,
22
00:01:14,786 --> 00:01:16,531
you have no idea
what's about to happen.
23
00:01:16,555 --> 00:01:19,534
You have no idea what
you're going to encounter.
24
00:01:19,558 --> 00:01:21,469
It's likely that you're going
to come across something
25
00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:23,804
that isn't happy
that you're there.
26
00:01:23,828 --> 00:01:25,139
All of us, as we grew up,
27
00:01:25,163 --> 00:01:26,807
we've heard the fairy tales
28
00:01:26,831 --> 00:01:30,678
of the troll under the bridge
and the bogeyman,
29
00:01:30,702 --> 00:01:34,549
so even as kids, you know,
we've heard about monsters.
30
00:01:34,573 --> 00:01:37,852
They live in the woods,
and the woods are a scary place.
31
00:01:37,876 --> 00:01:40,054
Scott Taylor
and his girlfriend, Barbara,
32
00:01:40,078 --> 00:01:43,558
think today is the perfect day
for a deer-hunting expedition.
33
00:01:43,582 --> 00:01:46,928
I was raised
in northwest Oregon,
34
00:01:46,952 --> 00:01:51,265
an outdoors-type of lifestyle,
hunting, fishing, hiking,
35
00:01:51,289 --> 00:01:54,257
just enjoying being outdoors
all the time.
36
00:01:57,729 --> 00:02:00,074
Oh, yeah.
I'll get this for you.
37
00:02:00,098 --> 00:02:01,809
Don't you worry.
38
00:02:01,833 --> 00:02:04,078
But Scott already has
a sense that today
39
00:02:04,102 --> 00:02:07,315
might not to be
a typical trip into the wild.
40
00:02:07,339 --> 00:02:12,086
I don't like the look
of this weather.
41
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:14,288
Well, would you rather
be at home,
42
00:02:14,312 --> 00:02:15,845
I don't know, doing laundry?
43
00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:23,298
Let's go.
44
00:02:23,322 --> 00:02:24,621
I'm coming, I'm coming.
45
00:02:29,761 --> 00:02:33,441
I learned to respect
the Pacific Northwest forest
46
00:02:33,465 --> 00:02:37,445
because it can kill you
pretty quick.
47
00:02:37,469 --> 00:02:40,715
Don't take anything for granted.
48
00:02:40,739 --> 00:02:44,352
If you're not prepared, and you
don't keep your wits about you,
49
00:02:44,376 --> 00:02:46,454
if you take some chances,
50
00:02:46,478 --> 00:02:48,178
it might not turn out
too well for you.
51
00:02:51,416 --> 00:02:55,563
So you have to be very careful
and have your head in the game.
52
00:02:55,587 --> 00:02:57,231
As they venture deep
into the woods,
53
00:02:57,255 --> 00:03:01,869
Scott finds the surroundings
oddly silent.
54
00:03:01,893 --> 00:03:04,939
Just a little quiet.
55
00:03:04,963 --> 00:03:08,309
Well, I don't know about that.
You're making a bit of noise.
56
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:11,579
It's getting thick.
57
00:03:11,603 --> 00:03:14,616
Well, don't be so slow.
58
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,573
He is right to be apprehensive.
59
00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:30,119
Will you hurry up?
60
00:03:39,898 --> 00:03:41,264
Did you hear that?
61
00:03:44,169 --> 00:03:45,869
No.
62
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:50,151
I didn't hear anything.
63
00:03:50,175 --> 00:03:53,254
Come on.
Let's go.
64
00:03:53,278 --> 00:03:57,491
It's like that weird vibe of,
"I shouldn't be here.
65
00:03:57,515 --> 00:03:59,683
I'm not comfortable here.
I need to leave."
66
00:04:04,523 --> 00:04:06,100
After hiking for an hour,
67
00:04:06,124 --> 00:04:08,603
the couple arrives
at a hunting blind.
68
00:04:08,627 --> 00:04:12,606
We had hiked out
about a mile and a half
69
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:16,165
and then found this nice place
to sit where we could see.
70
00:04:18,904 --> 00:04:22,750
And, you know, settled in
to just watch the area
71
00:04:22,774 --> 00:04:26,053
and see what might turn up.
72
00:04:26,077 --> 00:04:29,112
Perhaps it's better that they
don't know what's out there.
73
00:04:34,552 --> 00:04:37,565
Scott and Barb wait
for game to appear,
74
00:04:37,589 --> 00:04:40,823
but the forest is
eerily devoid of life today.
75
00:04:50,535 --> 00:04:52,813
Yeah, I'd been there
probably six times before,
76
00:04:52,837 --> 00:04:54,716
and I never experienced anything
77
00:04:54,740 --> 00:04:58,419
other than just
a benign day of sitting
78
00:04:58,443 --> 00:05:01,878
and watching for any deer
to move around.
79
00:05:09,187 --> 00:05:11,087
We can stay 15 more if you want.
80
00:05:14,659 --> 00:05:18,739
No.
I guess it's not our lucky day.
81
00:05:18,763 --> 00:05:21,375
Typically, when there's
a larger creature in the area,
82
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:23,065
the smaller animals
will disperse.
83
00:05:28,206 --> 00:05:29,906
Yeah, let's go.
84
00:05:52,397 --> 00:05:53,674
Did you hear that?
85
00:05:53,698 --> 00:05:55,376
Oh, my God.
No.
86
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,877
You think you're out here
by yourself,
87
00:05:56,901 --> 00:05:59,346
and then you hear this noise,
and you're like,
88
00:05:59,370 --> 00:06:02,283
"What was that? Was that a bear?
Was that a wolf?"
89
00:06:02,307 --> 00:06:03,450
You know...
- Did you see that?
90
00:06:03,474 --> 00:06:05,820
It definitely can make the hair
91
00:06:05,844 --> 00:06:07,655
on the back of your neck
stand up.
92
00:06:07,679 --> 00:06:10,647
Oh, come on.
Let's go.
93
00:06:13,385 --> 00:06:16,530
When you look at the idea of
other creatures in the area,
94
00:06:16,554 --> 00:06:18,699
some of them
have different traits.
95
00:06:18,723 --> 00:06:19,900
Some will follow.
96
00:06:19,924 --> 00:06:21,435
Some will observe.
97
00:06:21,459 --> 00:06:24,271
Some will engage.
98
00:06:24,295 --> 00:06:25,973
They know their territory.
99
00:06:25,997 --> 00:06:28,765
They know where you are,
and that's really dangerous.
100
00:06:33,605 --> 00:06:36,784
As they journey
ever deeper in search of game,
101
00:06:36,808 --> 00:06:40,654
they come across something
very bizarre.
102
00:06:40,678 --> 00:06:42,857
Babe, wait a second.
103
00:06:42,881 --> 00:06:47,328
I noticed to my left there were
a couple of piles of stones
104
00:06:47,352 --> 00:06:50,498
on top of each other.
105
00:06:50,522 --> 00:06:52,188
What?
106
00:06:54,592 --> 00:06:56,604
And I thought,
"That's very curious.
107
00:06:56,628 --> 00:07:00,708
Who would have time to waste
just stacking stones up?"
108
00:07:00,732 --> 00:07:03,143
So some animal made
a pile of rocks.
109
00:07:03,167 --> 00:07:04,378
So what?
110
00:07:04,402 --> 00:07:05,813
No animal did this.
111
00:07:05,837 --> 00:07:07,314
The stones were probably
112
00:07:07,338 --> 00:07:09,150
about the size
of the palm of your hand.
113
00:07:09,174 --> 00:07:11,952
There was about three in each
little pile stacked up,
114
00:07:11,976 --> 00:07:13,387
just balanced.
115
00:07:13,411 --> 00:07:18,125
The fact that the creature
is intentionally placing rocks
116
00:07:18,149 --> 00:07:20,494
in a systematic way
117
00:07:20,518 --> 00:07:24,732
indicates some sort of
intelligence in this being.
118
00:07:24,756 --> 00:07:26,400
Okay, some kids, then.
119
00:07:26,424 --> 00:07:28,002
So there's a purpose for it.
120
00:07:28,026 --> 00:07:29,103
They may be marking.
121
00:07:29,127 --> 00:07:31,038
They may be burying something.
122
00:07:31,062 --> 00:07:32,306
- Don't!
- Don't?
123
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:34,597
Don't what?
124
00:07:41,072 --> 00:07:43,284
By disturbing
the rock structure,
125
00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:45,319
Scott and Barb
have just provoked
126
00:07:45,343 --> 00:07:46,621
something they shouldn't have.
127
00:07:46,645 --> 00:07:47,989
We should go.
128
00:07:48,013 --> 00:07:51,380
I never experienced
anything like this before.
129
00:07:53,518 --> 00:07:56,097
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
130
00:07:56,121 --> 00:07:57,820
We should go.
131
00:08:00,992 --> 00:08:02,692
Ah!
- We got to get out of here!
132
00:08:14,973 --> 00:08:18,753
A lot of people
see the monsters,
133
00:08:18,777 --> 00:08:20,417
but they just don't want
to talk about it.
134
00:08:31,356 --> 00:08:35,725
I think people are hardwired
to be afraid of them.
135
00:08:36,728 --> 00:08:38,061
Did you hear that?
136
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:41,842
No.
137
00:08:41,866 --> 00:08:43,177
I didn't hear anything.
138
00:08:43,201 --> 00:08:44,879
Out for a day of hunting,
139
00:08:44,903 --> 00:08:47,148
Scott Taylor and his girlfriend,
Barbara,
140
00:08:47,172 --> 00:08:51,752
stumble upon something
Scott wishes they hadn't...
141
00:08:51,776 --> 00:08:54,889
Babe, wait a second.
142
00:08:54,913 --> 00:08:55,990
What?
143
00:08:56,014 --> 00:08:58,459
A strange rock structure.
144
00:08:58,483 --> 00:09:00,527
It looked definitely
out of place.
145
00:09:00,551 --> 00:09:02,963
It wasn't something that
could happen naturally.
146
00:09:02,987 --> 00:09:06,333
Somebody had to put them there.
147
00:09:06,357 --> 00:09:08,802
So some animal made
a pile of rocks.
148
00:09:08,826 --> 00:09:09,903
So what?
149
00:09:09,927 --> 00:09:12,006
No animal did this.
150
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:14,075
Okay, some kids, then.
151
00:09:14,099 --> 00:09:15,209
Barb, don't!
152
00:09:15,233 --> 00:09:16,643
Don't?
Don't what?
153
00:09:16,667 --> 00:09:19,747
If you disturb something
that is important to them,
154
00:09:19,771 --> 00:09:21,515
that would be the equivalent
155
00:09:21,539 --> 00:09:23,351
of going onto
an ancient burial ground
156
00:09:23,375 --> 00:09:24,685
and start digging
without permission.
157
00:09:24,709 --> 00:09:25,920
You would offend.
158
00:09:25,944 --> 00:09:27,855
You would upset.
159
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:31,380
That's when this creature
started vocalizing.
160
00:09:33,084 --> 00:09:35,662
It was an amazingly loud,
161
00:09:35,686 --> 00:09:38,488
whooping,
whoo-hoo kind of sound.
162
00:09:40,858 --> 00:09:43,604
A common thing is that
people say they hear whooping,
163
00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:47,842
and no one really knows
what exactly it means,
164
00:09:47,866 --> 00:09:51,912
but the common thought
is that it's a communication.
165
00:09:51,936 --> 00:09:54,782
My mind just started clicking
through all the animals
166
00:09:54,806 --> 00:09:58,018
that I know that are out there
that make sounds.
167
00:09:58,042 --> 00:09:59,420
There was nothing that matched.
168
00:09:59,444 --> 00:10:01,989
We should go.
169
00:10:02,013 --> 00:10:04,825
Let's go.
- Yeah, we should go.
170
00:10:04,849 --> 00:10:06,760
Scott and Barb don't know
171
00:10:06,784 --> 00:10:08,996
what beast they've disturbed,
172
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:12,233
but they know
they've made it very angry,
173
00:10:12,257 --> 00:10:15,291
and the hunters
are now the hunted.
174
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:21,241
Oh, my God!
175
00:10:21,265 --> 00:10:22,676
I could tell there was
something there,
176
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,845
and it was moving,
and it was big.
177
00:10:24,869 --> 00:10:26,547
You could hear the sticks pop.
178
00:10:26,571 --> 00:10:28,248
As they rush
to get out of there,
179
00:10:28,272 --> 00:10:32,053
Scott catches a terrifying
glimpse of the creature.
180
00:10:32,077 --> 00:10:34,955
I mean, you couldn't see
any real features
181
00:10:34,979 --> 00:10:39,693
other than it was
a great, big blob.
182
00:10:39,717 --> 00:10:42,329
It was just very, very large,
183
00:10:42,353 --> 00:10:45,466
but I had nothing
to really gauge its size to.
184
00:10:45,490 --> 00:10:47,734
The more they run to escape
the monster,
185
00:10:47,758 --> 00:10:51,739
the deeper they are drawn
into its stalking grounds.
186
00:10:51,763 --> 00:10:52,940
Ah!
187
00:10:52,964 --> 00:10:54,475
You okay?
You okay?
188
00:10:54,499 --> 00:10:57,111
Come on.
We got to get out of here.
189
00:10:57,135 --> 00:10:59,213
McLERAN:
And when people hear that noise,
190
00:10:59,237 --> 00:11:00,848
and they hear it crashing
through the woods,
191
00:11:00,872 --> 00:11:02,650
that definitely adds
to the fear factor
192
00:11:02,674 --> 00:11:04,206
that's involved
with the sighting.
193
00:11:06,511 --> 00:11:08,211
She was terrified.
194
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:15,963
- Oh.
- Oh, sorry, sorry.
195
00:11:15,987 --> 00:11:17,832
Look!
196
00:11:17,856 --> 00:11:19,600
What the hell is this place?
197
00:11:19,624 --> 00:11:21,290
Come on.
Let's go.
198
00:11:31,502 --> 00:11:33,614
Oh, my God!
199
00:11:33,638 --> 00:11:35,337
Run!
- Run!
200
00:11:38,042 --> 00:11:40,076
- Oh, my God!
- Go!
201
00:11:46,817 --> 00:11:50,230
Wait, wait.
202
00:11:50,254 --> 00:11:52,355
Are we lost?
203
00:11:55,626 --> 00:11:57,159
Babe.
204
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:06,869
And that's where
we saw a creature.
205
00:12:10,541 --> 00:12:11,718
Oh, my God.
206
00:12:11,742 --> 00:12:14,621
And Barb kind of gasped
and exclaimed, you know,
207
00:12:14,645 --> 00:12:18,025
"What the, you know,
bleep, is that?"
208
00:12:18,049 --> 00:12:21,428
It stands up,
and it's on two legs,
209
00:12:21,452 --> 00:12:23,297
and it has a human-looking face
210
00:12:23,321 --> 00:12:26,600
and is, like, five times bigger
than a black bear.
211
00:12:26,624 --> 00:12:28,202
Then you realize
what you're really seeing.
212
00:12:28,226 --> 00:12:29,636
Oh, my God.
Suddenly, it clicked.
213
00:12:29,660 --> 00:12:32,106
The thing that was there,
that's a Sasquatch.
214
00:12:32,130 --> 00:12:33,440
Scott!
215
00:12:33,464 --> 00:12:35,809
A Bigfoot encounter can happen
to anyone at any time.
216
00:12:35,833 --> 00:12:38,479
Eyewitness sightings,
there's thousands of sightings
217
00:12:38,503 --> 00:12:42,082
that exist
and have been documented.
218
00:12:42,106 --> 00:12:44,985
The idea that there's
that kind of a creature
219
00:12:45,009 --> 00:12:48,922
that suddenly came out of myth
and became real,
220
00:12:48,946 --> 00:12:52,359
that was the big epiphany.
221
00:12:52,383 --> 00:12:56,697
Run!
- Ah!
222
00:12:56,721 --> 00:12:58,365
And now this hunter of legend
223
00:12:58,389 --> 00:13:02,669
seeks Scott and Barb
for his prey.
224
00:13:02,693 --> 00:13:04,393
Run! Run!
225
00:13:10,802 --> 00:13:13,747
The couple faces
a terrible dilemma.
226
00:13:13,771 --> 00:13:16,049
If they can't outrun Bigfoot,
227
00:13:16,073 --> 00:13:18,152
they will have to confront him,
228
00:13:18,176 --> 00:13:20,209
but are their weapons enough?
229
00:13:22,780 --> 00:13:24,692
The rifle I was using
is a deer rifle.
230
00:13:24,716 --> 00:13:25,893
It's not very big.
231
00:13:25,917 --> 00:13:29,964
If something is as big
as that thing is,
232
00:13:29,988 --> 00:13:32,466
that rifle probably wouldn't
have done a whole lot
233
00:13:32,490 --> 00:13:34,323
before it could get to me.
234
00:13:38,496 --> 00:13:40,474
What are we going to do?
235
00:13:40,498 --> 00:13:43,366
The moment of truth
is upon them.
236
00:13:57,181 --> 00:13:59,593
Scott and Barb
ventured into the woods
237
00:13:59,617 --> 00:14:03,297
for a leisurely hunting trip
only to find themselves the ones
238
00:14:03,321 --> 00:14:06,455
being hunted
by the legendary Bigfoot.
239
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,637
When you realize
that they're real,
240
00:14:10,661 --> 00:14:14,174
and you get a feel
for how big they are
241
00:14:14,198 --> 00:14:17,311
and how helpless we are,
242
00:14:17,335 --> 00:14:22,182
it sure puts things into
a different perspective.
243
00:14:22,206 --> 00:14:26,219
The sheer size of the creature
is enough to intimidate
244
00:14:26,243 --> 00:14:28,322
even the biggest of people.
245
00:14:28,346 --> 00:14:30,891
We're talking about a creature
that crosses your path
246
00:14:30,915 --> 00:14:34,428
that is 8 feet tall
and 600 pounds.
247
00:14:34,452 --> 00:14:36,396
You see that, and you realize,
248
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:39,833
"Wow, this creature could do
anything it wants to me,
249
00:14:39,857 --> 00:14:42,236
and there's nothing
I could do to stop it."
250
00:14:42,260 --> 00:14:46,373
Now they are about to
be set upon by the angry beast
251
00:14:46,397 --> 00:14:50,110
and are in desperate fear
for their lives.
252
00:14:50,134 --> 00:14:52,979
But Scott worries that
shooting the beast
253
00:14:53,003 --> 00:14:55,716
will only make things worse.
254
00:14:55,740 --> 00:14:57,184
Don't.
255
00:14:57,208 --> 00:15:00,821
And she saw the look in my eyes,
which actually made her
256
00:15:00,845 --> 00:15:04,258
even more afraid and upset,
and it was like...
257
00:15:04,282 --> 00:15:06,359
Don't!
It won't work!
258
00:15:06,383 --> 00:15:09,730
A rifle bullet, .22 caliber,
anything like that,
259
00:15:09,754 --> 00:15:12,799
is not going to penetrate or
not going to cause any damage.
260
00:15:12,823 --> 00:15:14,835
You would have to bring
something more
261
00:15:14,859 --> 00:15:17,037
than the conventional weapon
to defend yourself,
262
00:15:17,061 --> 00:15:19,272
but if you have to do that,
263
00:15:19,296 --> 00:15:21,909
you probably shouldn't be there
in the first place.
264
00:15:21,933 --> 00:15:24,077
They decide a better option
265
00:15:24,101 --> 00:15:25,579
is to make another run for it.
266
00:15:25,603 --> 00:15:27,514
Okay. Okay.
267
00:15:27,538 --> 00:15:29,817
We're going to go.
268
00:15:29,841 --> 00:15:34,188
We're going to go fast,
and we're going to go quiet.
269
00:15:34,212 --> 00:15:37,657
You ready?
270
00:15:37,681 --> 00:15:39,382
Go.
271
00:15:41,452 --> 00:15:43,163
"I'm dead. I'm dead.
272
00:15:43,187 --> 00:15:44,798
This thing has got me.
I'm dead."
273
00:15:44,822 --> 00:15:49,336
Run!
274
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,638
That thing was following
and was close enough
275
00:15:51,662 --> 00:15:53,061
that you could smell it.
276
00:16:08,012 --> 00:16:09,923
Help! I'm lost!
277
00:16:09,947 --> 00:16:12,926
There are instances where
Bigfoot has acted out,
278
00:16:12,950 --> 00:16:15,451
chased people out of
their neck of the woods.
279
00:16:17,922 --> 00:16:20,233
The couple hightails
it to their truck
280
00:16:20,257 --> 00:16:23,003
as fast as they can
with Bigfoot on their heels.
281
00:16:23,027 --> 00:16:24,471
Go, go, go!
282
00:16:24,495 --> 00:16:26,139
They lock themselves
in their truck,
283
00:16:26,163 --> 00:16:29,610
but escape is not that easy.
284
00:16:29,634 --> 00:16:33,135
Typically, you find this more
with hunters that are armed.
285
00:16:44,849 --> 00:16:46,560
They manage to get away,
286
00:16:46,584 --> 00:16:48,061
but their terrifying encounter
287
00:16:48,085 --> 00:16:49,963
with the legendary beast
in the woods...
288
00:16:49,987 --> 00:16:51,398
Run!
289
00:16:51,422 --> 00:16:53,634
Has altered Scott's
and Barb's experience
290
00:16:53,658 --> 00:16:55,836
with the great outdoors forever.
291
00:16:55,860 --> 00:16:58,939
Barbara, she's never
gone camping since then.
292
00:16:58,963 --> 00:17:03,510
That's how it affected her,
and that's 12 years ago.
293
00:17:03,534 --> 00:17:05,179
And at the same time,
294
00:17:05,203 --> 00:17:06,780
I don't ever want
to go out there
295
00:17:06,804 --> 00:17:11,351
without my Marlin .45-70
loaded with hot loads.
296
00:17:11,375 --> 00:17:12,886
I'm never coming out here again
297
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,422
unless I have the biggest gun
I own with me.
298
00:17:15,446 --> 00:17:18,391
I think that's a perfectly
natural reaction
299
00:17:18,415 --> 00:17:19,860
to have to these things,
300
00:17:19,884 --> 00:17:22,062
and I've heard other people
say the same thing.
301
00:17:22,086 --> 00:17:23,930
Whenever you go into nature,
302
00:17:23,954 --> 00:17:26,200
all manner
of blood-curdling predators
303
00:17:26,224 --> 00:17:29,169
may be lurking
and lying in wait.
304
00:17:29,193 --> 00:17:32,172
As Alexa and Meredith
are about to find out,
305
00:17:32,196 --> 00:17:34,007
not all of
these malevolent beings
306
00:17:34,031 --> 00:17:36,410
are supernatural in origin.
307
00:17:36,434 --> 00:17:40,046
In fact, the most dangerous
could look exactly like we do.
308
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:41,948
We decided to go
on this road trip
309
00:17:41,972 --> 00:17:46,108
really to get to know ourselves
and to sort of enjoy nature.
310
00:17:48,045 --> 00:17:52,860
Instead, we found
absolute horror
311
00:17:52,884 --> 00:17:56,396
and just complete fear
for our lives.
312
00:17:56,420 --> 00:17:59,733
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
313
00:17:59,757 --> 00:18:02,702
This part of west Virginia
314
00:18:02,726 --> 00:18:04,404
richly rewards travelers
315
00:18:04,428 --> 00:18:06,439
with a wealth of scenic beauty.
316
00:18:06,463 --> 00:18:08,842
Having started out
from Portland, Maine,
317
00:18:08,866 --> 00:18:10,911
the young women
find themselves passing
318
00:18:10,935 --> 00:18:13,947
through in the early days
of their adventure.
319
00:18:13,971 --> 00:18:15,849
I figured a road trip
would be fun,
320
00:18:15,873 --> 00:18:19,085
and I've always wanted
to go out West.
321
00:18:19,109 --> 00:18:22,622
She said she wanted to go
on a trip out to New Mexico,
322
00:18:22,646 --> 00:18:24,892
and I agreed to it.
323
00:18:24,916 --> 00:18:26,627
All that, like, Girl Scout
training that we did
324
00:18:26,651 --> 00:18:28,595
when we were kids,
we're going to be okay.
325
00:18:28,619 --> 00:18:29,830
Oh, yeah, yeah.
326
00:18:29,854 --> 00:18:31,431
Virginia was just sort of
on that path,
327
00:18:31,455 --> 00:18:34,134
and I'd heard that there was
some pretty amazing camping
328
00:18:34,158 --> 00:18:37,604
out there,
and it's very beautiful.
329
00:18:37,628 --> 00:18:39,372
Camping was what
we really wanted to do.
330
00:18:39,396 --> 00:18:41,208
We had both had
experience camping,
331
00:18:41,232 --> 00:18:44,744
so we felt
pretty comfortable doing it.
332
00:18:44,768 --> 00:18:47,180
My boyfriend knew
that I was camping,
333
00:18:47,204 --> 00:18:48,949
didn't know exactly where.
334
00:18:48,973 --> 00:18:52,686
We didn't really think that
it was necessary to tell people
335
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:54,710
exactly where
we were going to be.
336
00:18:56,881 --> 00:18:59,492
But perhaps they should have.
337
00:18:59,516 --> 00:19:01,295
The first sign that their trip
338
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:03,764
might be headed
in the wrong direction
339
00:19:03,788 --> 00:19:07,400
occurs when they pull into
a local gas station
340
00:19:07,424 --> 00:19:10,192
looking to choose
a campground for the night.
341
00:19:17,635 --> 00:19:20,614
So, White Rocks campground
we found on a list
342
00:19:20,638 --> 00:19:24,673
of the national parks in
the national park camping spots.
343
00:19:28,346 --> 00:19:30,290
There were a few in the area.
344
00:19:30,314 --> 00:19:33,760
We chose it simply
because it was close
345
00:19:33,784 --> 00:19:35,362
to where we were
getting off the interstate.
346
00:19:35,386 --> 00:19:38,098
The name sounded
kind of appealing.
347
00:19:38,122 --> 00:19:39,933
What about this?
348
00:19:39,957 --> 00:19:43,503
It's close-ish.
349
00:19:43,527 --> 00:19:45,339
I don't know.
It could be gross.
350
00:19:45,363 --> 00:19:47,074
When they talk with the locals,
351
00:19:47,098 --> 00:19:49,075
things go a little off.
352
00:19:49,099 --> 00:19:51,211
Let's ask him.
Excuse me.
353
00:19:51,235 --> 00:19:53,447
We didn't know anything
about any of the campsites,
354
00:19:53,471 --> 00:19:58,251
so it was really just, you know,
point your finger and pick one.
355
00:19:58,275 --> 00:20:00,554
Hey, do you know this place?
356
00:20:00,578 --> 00:20:02,055
Sure.
357
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:04,557
We met a few people
from the area,
358
00:20:04,581 --> 00:20:06,926
and we had told them
that we were going to be camping
359
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:09,195
when they asked
what we were doing.
360
00:20:09,219 --> 00:20:10,764
Is it any good?
361
00:20:10,788 --> 00:20:14,401
Compared to what?
362
00:20:14,425 --> 00:20:17,103
It's about 20 miles from here,
right?
363
00:20:17,127 --> 00:20:21,541
You girls camping together?
364
00:20:21,565 --> 00:20:23,043
What gave it away,
the camping gear
365
00:20:23,067 --> 00:20:24,745
or the camping pamphlet
I'm asking about?
366
00:20:24,769 --> 00:20:27,113
You girls should be careful.
367
00:20:27,137 --> 00:20:29,483
People can be weird down here.
368
00:20:29,507 --> 00:20:31,585
We were in a brand-new state,
brand-new area,
369
00:20:31,609 --> 00:20:34,387
so, like, we're both
a little, like, nervous.
370
00:20:34,411 --> 00:20:35,855
Come on, Alexa.
Let's go.
371
00:20:35,879 --> 00:20:39,448
And they might have
reason to be.
372
00:20:44,955 --> 00:20:47,768
It was also kind of, like, oh,
a little taken aback a bit.
373
00:20:47,792 --> 00:20:51,371
Typically, in a small town,
strangers tend to stand out.
374
00:20:51,395 --> 00:20:55,130
There may be predators who look
for that kind of stuff.
375
00:20:58,035 --> 00:20:59,880
If you happen to be
in a situation
376
00:20:59,904 --> 00:21:02,949
where you're staying
in someone else's territory,
377
00:21:02,973 --> 00:21:06,153
it's not a good idea
to tell them that you're alone.
378
00:21:06,177 --> 00:21:08,944
It's not a good idea to tell
them where you're going.
379
00:21:14,585 --> 00:21:15,962
We just kept expecting to hear,
380
00:21:15,986 --> 00:21:19,065
you know, that banjo music
in the background.
381
00:21:19,089 --> 00:21:20,867
Because if they don't
want you to be there,
382
00:21:20,891 --> 00:21:22,836
and they know that you're alone,
383
00:21:22,860 --> 00:21:24,804
they know where you are,
384
00:21:24,828 --> 00:21:29,442
that's giving them all the tools
they need to hurt you.
385
00:21:29,466 --> 00:21:30,877
We were in the middle
of nowhere.
386
00:21:30,901 --> 00:21:32,846
We say one house on the left
387
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:35,582
when we first pulled
onto the road
388
00:21:35,606 --> 00:21:37,784
and then didn't see
anything else.
389
00:21:37,808 --> 00:21:40,253
The farther
along the path the women drive,
390
00:21:40,277 --> 00:21:42,388
the creepier it gets.
391
00:21:42,412 --> 00:21:44,858
It did feel like
driving into a horror movie.
392
00:21:44,882 --> 00:21:46,526
It felt like
"The Blair Witch Project,"
393
00:21:46,550 --> 00:21:49,129
and that was one thing
I kept thinking about, was,
394
00:21:49,153 --> 00:21:50,764
"I feel like those kids
395
00:21:50,788 --> 00:21:52,966
driving in the mountains,
getting out of their car
396
00:21:52,990 --> 00:21:57,370
and going into the woods
with something."
397
00:21:57,394 --> 00:22:00,206
As they get closer
to their final destination,
398
00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:02,331
things don't improve.
399
00:22:06,103 --> 00:22:09,282
I just remember at one point
looking and seeing these men
400
00:22:09,306 --> 00:22:13,320
standing around
a burning trash can,
401
00:22:13,344 --> 00:22:15,655
just kind of very eerily
looking up at us
402
00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:17,691
as if we were in a horror movie.
403
00:22:17,715 --> 00:22:21,294
What do you think
this guy is doing?
404
00:22:21,318 --> 00:22:22,729
Hobo?
405
00:22:22,753 --> 00:22:25,031
It made me a little bit
uncomfortable to see them.
406
00:22:25,055 --> 00:22:27,200
My parents and friends
and boyfriend
407
00:22:27,224 --> 00:22:30,370
told me to be careful
and to follow my gut instinct,
408
00:22:30,394 --> 00:22:35,408
and if something didn't feel
right to turn around,
409
00:22:35,432 --> 00:22:37,444
and things weren't feeling
that right,
410
00:22:37,468 --> 00:22:40,035
but I thought
it was all in my head.
411
00:22:42,439 --> 00:22:44,050
It made me more uncomfortable
412
00:22:44,074 --> 00:22:47,754
that they were just burning
random stuff,
413
00:22:47,778 --> 00:22:50,156
and at this point,
it could've been anything,
414
00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:53,693
so it was definitely a little
nerve-racking to see them.
415
00:22:53,717 --> 00:22:55,962
These young women
are starting to feel
416
00:22:55,986 --> 00:22:59,666
that coming out here
was a bad idea.
417
00:22:59,690 --> 00:23:01,323
- Oh, my God!
- Oh!
418
00:23:10,234 --> 00:23:12,245
Everyone should listen
to their instincts.
419
00:23:12,269 --> 00:23:13,746
Fear is a warning sign.
420
00:23:13,770 --> 00:23:16,516
If something is telling you
to go back or not to be there,
421
00:23:16,540 --> 00:23:19,219
it's probably best
that you listen to it.
422
00:23:19,243 --> 00:23:21,221
Alexa and Meredith
are heading out
423
00:23:21,245 --> 00:23:24,691
to go camping
on the road trip of a lifetime.
424
00:23:24,715 --> 00:23:27,260
But the deeper into the woods
they go,
425
00:23:27,284 --> 00:23:30,964
the more their sense
of foreboding grows.
426
00:23:30,988 --> 00:23:34,935
You girls camping together?
427
00:23:34,959 --> 00:23:38,104
Come on.
Let's go, Alexa.
428
00:23:38,128 --> 00:23:40,974
There was no one thing
that I could pinpoint
429
00:23:40,998 --> 00:23:43,276
as the reason
for my nervousness.
430
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:46,079
I've never felt that anxious.
431
00:23:46,103 --> 00:23:48,403
It did feel like
driving into a horror movie.
432
00:23:55,245 --> 00:23:58,057
Now, along the home stretch
433
00:23:58,081 --> 00:24:01,061
to where they intend to camp
for the night,
434
00:24:01,085 --> 00:24:04,586
things take an even darker turn.
435
00:24:07,491 --> 00:24:10,270
So, when we were first driving
into the campground,
436
00:24:10,294 --> 00:24:14,563
about halfway down the road,
we notice a truck behind us.
437
00:24:20,137 --> 00:24:22,215
I just remember feeling
a bit uncomfortable by it.
438
00:24:22,239 --> 00:24:24,017
It was just very strange to me
439
00:24:24,041 --> 00:24:26,508
seeing as how there was
nobody else on the road.
440
00:24:29,947 --> 00:24:31,725
What's with this yahoo?
441
00:24:31,749 --> 00:24:33,192
It was just on the road with us.
442
00:24:33,216 --> 00:24:36,930
It was behind us
for a few miles.
443
00:24:36,954 --> 00:24:39,899
It looks like the same truck
they saw at the gas station,
444
00:24:39,923 --> 00:24:41,668
and they wonder if they
are being followed
445
00:24:41,692 --> 00:24:44,137
by the men they encountered,
446
00:24:44,161 --> 00:24:47,073
and if so,
what do they want with them?
447
00:24:47,097 --> 00:24:50,210
A lot of people look forward
to playing with
448
00:24:50,234 --> 00:24:53,980
or toying with non-locals.
449
00:24:54,004 --> 00:24:55,481
I kind of pushed
that out of my mind.
450
00:24:55,505 --> 00:24:57,751
I just didn't want
to freak myself out.
451
00:24:57,775 --> 00:25:00,320
But they are freaking out
452
00:25:00,344 --> 00:25:02,255
until the truck veers off
453
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:04,646
as suddenly
as it first appeared.
454
00:25:08,719 --> 00:25:13,934
They eventually turned down
another road, and that was it.
455
00:25:13,958 --> 00:25:16,235
And I remember thinking,
"Where is that truck going,
456
00:25:16,259 --> 00:25:17,470
and what are they doing?"
457
00:25:17,494 --> 00:25:19,706
There was absolutely nothing
out there.
458
00:25:19,730 --> 00:25:21,574
The girls hope
they will feel safer
459
00:25:21,598 --> 00:25:23,576
when they are surrounded
by other campers,
460
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,347
but they learn that's not
going to be the case.
461
00:25:27,371 --> 00:25:30,616
We drove around the campsite
to see if we saw anybody else,
462
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,653
and there was nobody,
so we just picked a spot.
463
00:25:33,677 --> 00:25:37,524
When we saw that the campsite
was completely abandoned,
464
00:25:37,548 --> 00:25:39,492
my anxiety grew a bit.
465
00:25:39,516 --> 00:25:40,961
It was very creepy.
466
00:25:40,985 --> 00:25:42,996
Any relief that I was feeling
to be off the road
467
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:49,369
was sort of taken over
by that nerve-racking feeling.
468
00:25:49,393 --> 00:25:50,737
So we just looked around,
listened.
469
00:25:50,761 --> 00:25:52,461
It was very quiet.
470
00:25:54,798 --> 00:25:57,410
I guess it's not very popular.
471
00:25:57,434 --> 00:25:58,811
Obviously.
472
00:25:58,835 --> 00:26:01,414
It looks like a graveyard.
473
00:26:01,438 --> 00:26:02,816
And I was thinking like,
"All right.
474
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,717
I kind of do want
to get a motel."
475
00:26:04,741 --> 00:26:06,152
Maybe we should go
someplace else.
476
00:26:06,176 --> 00:26:09,255
That'll be an hour
or two on the road.
477
00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:10,757
It'll be pitch-black by then.
478
00:26:10,781 --> 00:26:13,793
And saw how low the sun was,
and it was one of these things
479
00:26:13,817 --> 00:26:16,996
where we sort of looked
at each other and said,
480
00:26:17,020 --> 00:26:20,066
"Well, we either
have to set up camp right now,
481
00:26:20,090 --> 00:26:21,968
or we're going to have to
turn around and be on the road
482
00:26:21,992 --> 00:26:27,006
for another at least half-hour
to find another place to stay."
483
00:26:27,030 --> 00:26:28,941
Well, then, I guess
we don't have a choice.
484
00:26:28,965 --> 00:26:30,943
We decided to stay
and set up camp
485
00:26:30,967 --> 00:26:32,578
just because
it was getting so dark.
486
00:26:32,602 --> 00:26:34,302
Let's do it, then.
487
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,419
We got out of the car.
488
00:26:39,443 --> 00:26:41,176
So we decided to just
power through it.
489
00:26:50,787 --> 00:26:52,532
It felt like
the minute we parked
490
00:26:52,556 --> 00:26:57,192
and started unpacking the tent
that we were being watched.
491
00:27:01,465 --> 00:27:02,842
I'm pretty familiar
with the woods
492
00:27:02,866 --> 00:27:05,211
and comfortable with
being out in the woods,
493
00:27:05,235 --> 00:27:09,270
but it was something very
unsettling about where we were.
494
00:27:11,408 --> 00:27:14,943
So she's setting up the tent,
and I'm getting the firewood.
495
00:27:19,416 --> 00:27:21,694
And we would both separately
stop what we were doing
496
00:27:21,718 --> 00:27:25,665
and just listen and look around.
497
00:27:25,689 --> 00:27:28,001
I was focused on
setting up the tent,
498
00:27:28,025 --> 00:27:31,070
and I just had this
feeling behind me
499
00:27:31,094 --> 00:27:33,673
that there was something there,
500
00:27:33,697 --> 00:27:38,533
and it was such an awful feeling
that I had never felt before.
501
00:27:46,376 --> 00:27:49,455
I felt like I was being watched
pretty much the entire time.
502
00:27:49,479 --> 00:27:52,258
I felt the need to constantly
stop what I was doing
503
00:27:52,282 --> 00:27:55,817
and sort of turn in a circle
and survey my surroundings.
504
00:28:03,427 --> 00:28:05,338
But we just kept trucking
through it, just like,
505
00:28:05,362 --> 00:28:09,709
"You know, we're already here.
We've got this."
506
00:28:09,733 --> 00:28:13,546
When you're along out there,
you could be a sitting target.
507
00:28:13,570 --> 00:28:15,915
If I was in their shoes,
you know, I would've packed up,
508
00:28:15,939 --> 00:28:17,250
and I would've gone.
509
00:28:17,274 --> 00:28:19,619
Adding to
the increasing sense of unease,
510
00:28:19,643 --> 00:28:21,521
their phones don't work.
511
00:28:21,545 --> 00:28:22,555
- Hey, Mer?
- Yeah?
512
00:28:22,579 --> 00:28:25,892
Do you have reception?
513
00:28:25,916 --> 00:28:29,395
No.
514
00:28:29,419 --> 00:28:33,032
So we're in the middle of
the mountains of West Virginia
515
00:28:33,056 --> 00:28:36,135
with no cell service
at this campsite,
516
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:37,859
and it's about to get dark.
517
00:28:41,698 --> 00:28:44,878
You better get that tent set up
before it gets too dark.
518
00:28:44,902 --> 00:28:47,780
It was very uncomfortable
to know that
519
00:28:47,804 --> 00:28:49,615
if I needed to call anybody,
520
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,251
I couldn't and that
there was going to be no one
521
00:28:52,275 --> 00:28:54,187
who knew where we were.
522
00:28:54,211 --> 00:28:57,590
Meredith and Alexa truly hope
they are alone in the forest,
523
00:28:57,614 --> 00:29:00,515
but they get the ever-growing
sense that they are not.
524
00:29:07,324 --> 00:29:08,356
What was that?
525
00:29:18,635 --> 00:29:22,782
Sometimes camping alone
in the woods is a bad idea.
526
00:29:22,806 --> 00:29:27,086
Meredith and Alexa have embarked
on a cross-country road trip
527
00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:30,256
that so far
hasn't gone as planned,
528
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,225
and now,
miles from civilization,
529
00:29:32,249 --> 00:29:33,927
they have
an overpowering feeling
530
00:29:33,951 --> 00:29:35,717
that they are being stalked.
531
00:29:39,656 --> 00:29:42,835
We're in the middle of
the mountains of west Virginia,
532
00:29:42,859 --> 00:29:45,771
and it's about to get dark.
533
00:29:45,795 --> 00:29:48,597
If I needed to call anybody,
I couldn't.
534
00:29:54,171 --> 00:29:55,348
If something were to happen,
535
00:29:55,372 --> 00:29:58,985
no one would be
able to find you.
536
00:29:59,009 --> 00:30:01,287
So when we first got
the campfire lit,
537
00:30:01,311 --> 00:30:04,857
we hoped that it was
going to make us feel better.
538
00:30:04,881 --> 00:30:07,059
The intention was that
it was going to calm us down
539
00:30:07,083 --> 00:30:09,095
and provide some light
540
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,832
and let us see a bit
more into the woods.
541
00:30:12,856 --> 00:30:14,400
The woods were so thick that
542
00:30:14,424 --> 00:30:16,869
even a pretty
decent-sized campfire
543
00:30:16,893 --> 00:30:19,038
couldn't penetrate all the way.
544
00:30:19,062 --> 00:30:20,239
What is it?
545
00:30:20,263 --> 00:30:22,342
But all the fire does
is make the woods
546
00:30:22,366 --> 00:30:24,377
seem even more terrifying.
547
00:30:24,401 --> 00:30:26,612
I thought I heard something.
548
00:30:26,636 --> 00:30:29,182
I would turn my lamp
on every now and then
549
00:30:29,206 --> 00:30:32,285
to kind of look
around the trees.
550
00:30:32,309 --> 00:30:33,919
What is it?
What do you see?
551
00:30:33,943 --> 00:30:36,088
I had the feeling,
since we pulled in there,
552
00:30:36,112 --> 00:30:39,158
we were being watched.
553
00:30:39,182 --> 00:30:40,393
Alexa?
554
00:30:40,417 --> 00:30:43,062
I had never felt
that feeling before.
555
00:30:43,086 --> 00:30:46,165
It was just a strange feeling.
556
00:30:46,189 --> 00:30:50,236
So I would look around the trees
thinking I'll see something.
557
00:30:50,260 --> 00:30:52,905
I don't know, really, why I felt
like I had to do that.
558
00:30:52,929 --> 00:30:54,663
What is it?
559
00:30:56,733 --> 00:31:00,479
It's nothing.
Just being silly.
560
00:31:00,503 --> 00:31:03,116
I'd see shadows,
but with the light source,
561
00:31:03,140 --> 00:31:04,651
it's always hard to tell.
562
00:31:04,675 --> 00:31:07,219
I've never been in a place
where the woods were so thick.
563
00:31:07,243 --> 00:31:11,291
Look, Al, the place
is surrounded by dry leaves.
564
00:31:11,315 --> 00:31:12,825
All right?
565
00:31:12,849 --> 00:31:14,827
No one is sneaking up on us.
566
00:31:14,851 --> 00:31:16,495
It's okay.
- Yeah, I know.
567
00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:17,764
To calm themselves,
568
00:31:17,788 --> 00:31:19,799
the girls delve into
an ancient game
569
00:31:19,823 --> 00:31:21,267
by the fire.
570
00:31:21,291 --> 00:31:24,003
Alexa and I are both
very familiar with tarot.
571
00:31:24,027 --> 00:31:25,938
It's something that
we've always done
572
00:31:25,962 --> 00:31:28,863
as a sort of meditative thing.
573
00:31:34,304 --> 00:31:38,151
Hey, want me to
read your future?
574
00:31:38,175 --> 00:31:41,220
Not really.
575
00:31:41,244 --> 00:31:42,755
Aw, come on.
576
00:31:42,779 --> 00:31:45,524
It'll help pass the time.
577
00:31:45,548 --> 00:31:47,993
Sure. Whatever.
578
00:31:48,017 --> 00:31:50,363
We figured that
if we pulled cards,
579
00:31:50,387 --> 00:31:53,099
it would sort of help us realize
580
00:31:53,123 --> 00:31:55,790
that things weren't as bad
as we thought they were.
581
00:32:01,531 --> 00:32:02,875
Moon card.
582
00:32:02,899 --> 00:32:07,180
So I pulled the Moon card,
and that spoke a lot
583
00:32:07,204 --> 00:32:10,650
about facing your deepest
subconscious fears.
584
00:32:10,674 --> 00:32:12,719
And it just made me
very uncomfortable.
585
00:32:12,743 --> 00:32:15,755
Of course,
alone in the woods at night
586
00:32:15,779 --> 00:32:20,014
is a perfect place for
subconscious fears to run wild.
587
00:32:23,787 --> 00:32:27,367
And if the Moon card
wasn't unnerving enough,
588
00:32:27,391 --> 00:32:31,604
the next one chills
both women's blood...
589
00:32:31,628 --> 00:32:32,838
Death.
590
00:32:32,862 --> 00:32:36,809
It was a very intense card
to read at the time,
591
00:32:36,833 --> 00:32:40,680
and the minute I started
looking at the card
592
00:32:40,704 --> 00:32:42,248
and thinking about
what it meant,
593
00:32:42,272 --> 00:32:45,651
it just made the fear
so much worse.
594
00:32:45,675 --> 00:32:48,020
So you have to imagine
if they're using tarot cards,
595
00:32:48,044 --> 00:32:52,225
they already believe in a higher
power or supernatural presence.
596
00:32:52,249 --> 00:32:53,626
If they're getting
negative cards
597
00:32:53,650 --> 00:32:55,694
that suggest that there's
something evil out there,
598
00:32:55,718 --> 00:32:58,030
it's already in their minds.
599
00:32:58,054 --> 00:33:02,535
I was here facing
complete uncertainty
600
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:05,794
and complete isolation
from anybody who could help us.
601
00:33:08,432 --> 00:33:10,509
I hadn't been trusting
my intuition at all.
602
00:33:10,533 --> 00:33:13,145
If I had, I probably
would've realized
603
00:33:13,169 --> 00:33:17,650
that my anxiety was going
to lead us into a bad place.
604
00:33:17,674 --> 00:33:19,952
It was completely
still in the woods.
605
00:33:19,976 --> 00:33:22,622
There were no animal sounds
whatsoever,
606
00:33:22,646 --> 00:33:26,025
no wind, no nothing.
607
00:33:26,049 --> 00:33:27,626
Okay.
608
00:33:27,650 --> 00:33:30,262
I think we need to calm down.
609
00:33:30,286 --> 00:33:33,966
Let's just call it a night and
leave here tomorrow super early.
610
00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:35,401
The fact that we didn't
tell anybody
611
00:33:35,425 --> 00:33:38,004
specifically where we were
really started to set in
612
00:33:38,028 --> 00:33:40,106
when we realized
that we might not
613
00:33:40,130 --> 00:33:43,976
even have the chance to do that,
and that if anything happened,
614
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,014
absolutely nobody would know
where to even look to find us.
615
00:33:49,038 --> 00:33:50,850
Yeah, okay.
616
00:33:50,874 --> 00:33:53,074
Sounds good to me.
617
00:33:57,647 --> 00:34:00,293
What are you doing?
- Grabbing this.
618
00:34:00,317 --> 00:34:04,130
I found it unnerving that
I had to have the knife.
619
00:34:04,154 --> 00:34:06,198
I didn't feel comfortable
going to bed without it,
620
00:34:06,222 --> 00:34:08,689
but I felt like it was
a good idea to have it.
621
00:34:12,095 --> 00:34:14,907
But the thin walls
of a polyester tent
622
00:34:14,931 --> 00:34:18,766
aren't enough to keep them safe,
whether they're armed or not.
623
00:34:22,706 --> 00:34:28,087
And inside the tent,
their paranoia grows along
624
00:34:28,111 --> 00:34:31,791
with their desperation
to connection with civilization.
625
00:34:31,815 --> 00:34:34,727
I tried to call my boyfriend
just to see
626
00:34:34,751 --> 00:34:36,595
if maybe I could
get through to him.
627
00:34:36,619 --> 00:34:38,564
I thought that
it would really comfort me
628
00:34:38,588 --> 00:34:41,255
if I could just
tell him where I was.
629
00:34:45,762 --> 00:34:49,242
I pressed send on the phone,
and it just said,
630
00:34:49,266 --> 00:34:52,244
"Calling, calling, calling,"
and then never connected.
631
00:34:52,268 --> 00:34:56,249
We're in the middle of nowhere,
and our phones aren't working.
632
00:34:56,273 --> 00:35:00,219
And that was a very intimidating
thing to realize that,
633
00:35:00,243 --> 00:35:04,357
no matter what,
we still couldn't call anybody.
634
00:35:04,381 --> 00:35:07,159
Pretty much immediately
after the phone said,
635
00:35:07,183 --> 00:35:10,117
"No service,"
we heard footsteps.
636
00:35:12,355 --> 00:35:15,267
- What was that?
- I don't know.
637
00:35:15,291 --> 00:35:19,705
It was one step of footsteps,
very metered, heavy boots.
638
00:35:19,729 --> 00:35:22,541
It was exactly like the
sound that my boots had made,
639
00:35:22,565 --> 00:35:25,299
except louder and heavier.
640
00:35:27,504 --> 00:35:30,316
By now, the paranoia
is probably at its maximum.
641
00:35:30,340 --> 00:35:32,285
I can imagine
two vulnerable people
642
00:35:32,309 --> 00:35:35,421
alone in the dark feeding off
of each other's paranoia
643
00:35:35,445 --> 00:35:37,523
could be very scary.
644
00:35:37,547 --> 00:35:38,524
Oh, my God.
645
00:35:38,548 --> 00:35:40,259
It approached the tent,
646
00:35:40,283 --> 00:35:45,030
and we both turned
and just stared at each other.
647
00:35:45,054 --> 00:35:47,333
We were looking at each other.
648
00:35:47,357 --> 00:35:50,236
It was almost like we were
both thinking the same thing.
649
00:35:50,260 --> 00:35:52,137
The fact that there was
nobody else around...
650
00:35:52,161 --> 00:35:53,573
It wasn't like we were
at a campsite
651
00:35:53,597 --> 00:35:56,842
where there are people
walking around.
652
00:35:56,866 --> 00:35:59,111
It just came out of nowhere.
653
00:35:59,135 --> 00:36:02,515
Oh, my God.
654
00:36:02,539 --> 00:36:05,039
They're getting closer,
so what do I do?
655
00:36:07,076 --> 00:36:10,756
Meredith decides to
take control of the situation.
656
00:36:10,780 --> 00:36:12,124
She moved pretty fast.
657
00:36:12,148 --> 00:36:13,425
Really, she did.
658
00:36:13,449 --> 00:36:16,696
She grabbed that knife,
grabbed her lamp,
659
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:18,497
and then exited the tent.
660
00:36:18,521 --> 00:36:19,699
One of them could make a mistake
661
00:36:19,723 --> 00:36:21,166
that could end up
hurting the other.
662
00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:22,901
There was a very intense moment
663
00:36:22,925 --> 00:36:27,940
where I realized that it was
actually us being watched.
664
00:36:27,964 --> 00:36:32,867
It really reinforced
my feelings of fear.
665
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,284
Mer?
666
00:36:39,308 --> 00:36:40,653
- It was just this very...
- Mer?
667
00:36:40,677 --> 00:36:43,622
Sudden feeling of a need
to protect myself
668
00:36:43,646 --> 00:36:48,394
and my best friend
and our lives.
669
00:36:48,418 --> 00:36:50,863
Meredith?
670
00:36:50,887 --> 00:36:54,867
She may not be able to
see who or what is out there,
671
00:36:54,891 --> 00:36:58,259
but Meredith can feel it,
and it terrifies her.
672
00:37:09,806 --> 00:37:12,385
Alexa and Meredith
are being stalked
673
00:37:12,409 --> 00:37:14,509
in a deserted campground.
674
00:37:16,912 --> 00:37:20,493
And there's no way
to call for help.
675
00:37:20,517 --> 00:37:22,183
Oh, my God.
676
00:37:29,959 --> 00:37:33,527
We both were preparing
for something to happen.
677
00:37:35,565 --> 00:37:38,343
If they go for her,
678
00:37:38,367 --> 00:37:41,547
I'll pick up
one of the logs we had.
679
00:37:41,571 --> 00:37:42,637
I'd use that.
680
00:37:48,545 --> 00:37:51,679
Ladies!
681
00:37:53,382 --> 00:37:56,095
Hey!
Hey, pretty lady.
682
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:58,097
I got something for you.
683
00:37:58,121 --> 00:38:03,023
I'm coming to get you!
684
00:38:04,461 --> 00:38:06,004
Hey!
Where you going?
685
00:38:06,028 --> 00:38:07,406
Come on, now.
686
00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:08,841
Come on back!
687
00:38:08,865 --> 00:38:11,243
I ain't done with you yet!
- Go, go, go, go, go.
688
00:38:11,267 --> 00:38:13,145
- I was just getting started!
- Go, go!
689
00:38:13,169 --> 00:38:15,448
Come on, ladies!
690
00:38:15,472 --> 00:38:17,717
The women hope
making it to their car
691
00:38:17,741 --> 00:38:22,121
means they're safe,
though they very much doubt it.
692
00:38:22,145 --> 00:38:23,522
Got something for you.
693
00:38:23,546 --> 00:38:25,724
Why don't you come here
and see what it is?
694
00:38:25,748 --> 00:38:28,360
Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
695
00:38:28,384 --> 00:38:30,396
Okay.
696
00:38:30,420 --> 00:38:32,531
As they try and start the car,
697
00:38:32,555 --> 00:38:35,000
they realize their stalker
is getting closer.
698
00:38:35,024 --> 00:38:36,268
I'm coming to get you!
699
00:38:36,292 --> 00:38:37,836
Mer, come on!
You can do this!
700
00:38:37,860 --> 00:38:38,904
Come on!
Come on!
701
00:38:38,928 --> 00:38:40,206
- Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
702
00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:41,974
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- Reverse, reverse.
703
00:38:41,998 --> 00:38:45,578
- Okay.
- Go.
704
00:38:45,602 --> 00:38:47,213
Then he appears.
705
00:38:47,237 --> 00:38:50,282
Go, go, go!
706
00:38:50,306 --> 00:38:52,818
The women outrun their pursuer,
707
00:38:52,842 --> 00:38:55,877
but they're very far
from being out of the woods.
708
00:38:58,915 --> 00:39:00,392
- Do you see anything?
- No.
709
00:39:00,416 --> 00:39:05,131
I looked over to try to see
if I could see something.
710
00:39:05,155 --> 00:39:08,167
As they leave the campground,
they discover that their car
711
00:39:08,191 --> 00:39:11,203
is not the only vehicle
on this deserted road.
712
00:39:11,227 --> 00:39:16,075
Out of the darkness, we see
these two run-down trucks...
713
00:39:16,099 --> 00:39:19,378
Why are you slowing down?
Let's get out of here.
714
00:39:19,402 --> 00:39:21,380
Just sort of pulled off
to the side of the road,
715
00:39:21,404 --> 00:39:22,982
and they looked like
they'd been pulled off
716
00:39:23,006 --> 00:39:25,706
far enough to try
and be a little bit hidden.
717
00:39:28,044 --> 00:39:31,290
I think that it probably
was one of the trucks
718
00:39:31,314 --> 00:39:32,925
that we saw before.
719
00:39:32,949 --> 00:39:37,630
I'm guessing they followed us
and saw where we were.
720
00:39:37,654 --> 00:39:41,133
Seeing those two dirty trucks
there was proof enough
721
00:39:41,157 --> 00:39:43,558
that there was someone
right there with us.
722
00:39:45,595 --> 00:39:49,563
It looked as if there was
somebody in the truck.
723
00:39:53,970 --> 00:39:58,673
We were just panicking,
just drove out of there.
724
00:40:02,512 --> 00:40:05,491
And I just felt
so sick to my stomach.
725
00:40:05,515 --> 00:40:08,193
It felt like I was going
to vomit at any point.
726
00:40:08,217 --> 00:40:10,829
It was a very intense
physical feeling.
727
00:40:10,853 --> 00:40:11,931
Oh, God. Oh, God!
728
00:40:11,955 --> 00:40:13,131
They're coming!
Go faster!
729
00:40:13,155 --> 00:40:15,734
- I'm trying! I'm trying!
- Go faster!
730
00:40:15,758 --> 00:40:17,269
Go!
They're coming.
731
00:40:17,293 --> 00:40:19,271
You know, my car is run down,
732
00:40:19,295 --> 00:40:23,909
and it can't really handle
a pot-holed, gravel road.
733
00:40:23,933 --> 00:40:26,033
- What do they want?
- I don't know!
734
00:40:27,570 --> 00:40:29,448
Go, Mer!
Go!
735
00:40:29,472 --> 00:40:32,351
So I'm going as fast as I can
while also trying
736
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:34,520
to make sure
that we don't bottom out.
737
00:40:34,544 --> 00:40:39,391
That could have us stuck there
without any way to escape,
738
00:40:39,415 --> 00:40:41,493
but the feeling
that I was getting
739
00:40:41,517 --> 00:40:42,828
from whatever was out there
740
00:40:42,852 --> 00:40:47,666
was just so malicious
and so horrifying and intense,
741
00:40:47,690 --> 00:40:49,134
and it's really horrifying
to know
742
00:40:49,158 --> 00:40:52,070
that literally anything
could've happened to us.
743
00:40:52,094 --> 00:40:55,774
The women escape the
campground and west Virginia.
744
00:40:55,798 --> 00:40:58,176
It was this whole perfect lesson
745
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,114
of how things
could go very wrong
746
00:41:02,138 --> 00:41:08,053
and how we were just lucky
enough to get right out of it.
747
00:41:08,077 --> 00:41:11,123
Something really, really
bad just almost happened to us.
748
00:41:11,147 --> 00:41:13,025
The pair learned their lesson.
749
00:41:13,049 --> 00:41:16,929
Camping alone is not always
as much fun as it sounds.
750
00:41:16,953 --> 00:41:18,564
That's the thing
I still think about is,
751
00:41:18,588 --> 00:41:22,968
"What could they have done?
What could it have been?"
752
00:41:22,992 --> 00:41:26,438
We didn't go out seeking
any kind of trouble,
753
00:41:26,462 --> 00:41:27,606
but it found us.
754
00:41:27,630 --> 00:41:30,064
You know, the trouble
really found us.
755
00:41:32,168 --> 00:41:36,081
It's very common with
the lack of police presence
756
00:41:36,105 --> 00:41:39,151
where strangers come and visit
757
00:41:39,175 --> 00:41:44,790
that someone will try
and prey on an outside source.
758
00:41:44,814 --> 00:41:46,458
Like Alexa and Meredith,
759
00:41:46,482 --> 00:41:49,394
Scott and Barb realized
that you never know
760
00:41:49,418 --> 00:41:53,565
when a trip into nature can turn
into a living nightmare.
761
00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:56,535
There are certain areas in the
forest where that's their place,
762
00:41:56,559 --> 00:41:57,936
and we don't go there.
763
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:03,208
There's lot of room for things
out there to hide in.
764
00:42:03,232 --> 00:42:06,078
People that have had
an encounter with them,
765
00:42:06,102 --> 00:42:07,579
there is a connection there,
766
00:42:07,603 --> 00:42:09,414
and that connection
makes you want
767
00:42:09,438 --> 00:42:11,951
to find out more about
who are they?
768
00:42:11,975 --> 00:42:13,708
What are they?
