REPORTER: Hurricane Harvey

REPORTER #2: Made landfall on Puerto Rico.

REPORTER #3: And this is the scene in

Category Storm Maria hitting

with 155 mile-an-hour wind.

[dramatic music]

In breaking news,

police are investigating a strange missing person's case

which could be linked to a string of disappearances

across the country.

Police have confirmed the names of two missing individuals,

Dianne Wilson, a prominent online figure

in the paranormal investigation community,

and actor Osmond Shaw.

Oh, Oz. He was a good bloke. you know?

I mean, he wanted to be an actor. [chuckles]

I was there, I was supporting him.

You know, he was buffing himself up in the gym constantly.

And then, I don't know, he-he-he, this...

I can't even say her name. It makes me so, ugh.

Sources close to the investigation

say Miss Wilson was displaying suspicious behavior,

and police believe she could be involved

in the disappearance of up to six people

before going missing herself.

She's not all together there.

Aunt Dianne wasn't crazy, just lonely.

She never had many friends,

but she wouldn't vanish on purpose.

I think personally-- [sighs]

I hate to say it,

but I think he was kind of using her

to get his face out there

'cause she had this popular YouTube channel.

♪♪♪

INTERVIEWER: What about this other dimension stuff?

See, that's what I mean.

There's something ritualistic about this girl.

I--I don't believe it,

but I think people are starting to give this precedence,

because she's kind of this...

spooky, voodoo witch kind of doctor thing.

I don't know. I don't know.

But this family bloodline, you know,

people are kind of going,

"Oh, there's a possibility that this happened," you know,

because she's fucking, you know, she's-she's-she's...

I don't know. I don't buy it.

OSMOND: It's so dark.

Do I look all right?

DIANNE: You look fine. OSMOND: Thanks.

[Osmond sighs]

What do we do now? We go for a take?

DIANNE: Yeah, just follow my lead.

OSMOND: Okay.

[Osmond clears throat]

Reggie?

Dianne from "Oz Mysteries" here.

Tonight we're at a pioneer village

on the outskirts of Windsor,

and this is an authentic miner's hut.

- It's haunted right? - Yeah.

And since the floods last month, there's been a ton of activity.

- Come this way. - Okay.

Rained for weeks.

Sinkholes started opening up all over the city,

and scientists couldn't explain why.

15 people died.

Yeah, I remember that.

There's always been a connection

between water and spirits.

They say it's a great conductor of energy.

So you think there there might be higher activity

'cause of the floods, maybe?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah. Right.

I've been told that the man in this photo's eyes move,

but I haven't seen it happen yet.

Sir, if you are listening, please reach out.

We mean no disrespect.

You're actually really good at this, aren't ya?

I've been doing it a long time?

[creature growling]

OSMOND: What was that?

[water trickling]

Did you see that?

Yeah. I don't know.

OSMOND: That's fucking weird.

That's fucking so weird.

Have you seen something like that before?

No.

[detector whirring]

I'm using an EMF detector

to see if there are any fluctuations

in electromagnetic energy,

which is said to indicate the presence of spirits.

If we do see any spiritual energy in the room,

you'll notice that the needle on the EMF reader will spike.

We're not seeing anything at the moment,

but I'm keen to go around the whole cabin

and see what we can find.

This is the spirit box.

It allows you to communicate with us through white noise.

Please try and tell us your name.

[static crackling]

I don't get it.

It uses radio frequency sweeps to generate white noise

which gives some entities the energy they need to be heard.

You usually get voices but sometimes other sounds.

Seriously, voices?

Yeah.

We know you're here.

Please.

Wouldn't it actually just freak you out

if something actually happened?

Maybe.

Isn't it better to know the truth?

[spirit box whirs]

Water. The floods.

[apparition faintly speaking]

[faucet squeaks, water rushing]

OSMOND: Reggie, did you just turn that on?

DIANNE: No, it wasn't Reggie.

Reggie, did you just turn that on?

REGGIE: I'm holding the camera, Oz.

[static crackling]

Yeah, that was...

that was pretty bizarre, some of that stuff, I guess.

But she could have set that stuff up.

She could have just, you know, prerecorded those voices,

pressed "play" on a tape recorder or something.

It freaked me out a bit,

but there has to be an explanation for all of it.

[exhales]

She's pretty into it, though, ain't she?

[birds chirping]

REGGIE: Rolling.

Go on, then. I'm intrigued.

Um, my name's Osmond Shaw.

People call me Ozzy.

Uh, I'm an actor.

Oh, what have you done?

Mostly commercials so far,

but I've had some really good auditions lately but...

Um, anyway,

about a week ago, I got something in the mail,

and, um, that's why I'm here.

Hmm. What is it?

It's a photograph.

You're in it.

DIANNE: Hmm.

Yeah, I saw your, um, your YouTube videos and I...

I just thought this might be the kind of thing

that you wanna film.

Okay. Why the suspense?

Um...

Is this a joke?

No.

DIANNE: Do you, um...

do you know who sent it?

OSMOND: I got no idea. It was just in my mailbox.

It must have been hand delivered

because there's no stamp, no...

no postage mark, nothing.

We need to find this lake.

Yeah.

Local boy Robert Janevski is receiving a lot of attention

after climbing into a sinkhole that opened up

during the now famous Sydney storms.

Janevski retrieved a statue from the hole

that depicts a half horse, half fish creature.

What seemed to be an insignificant find at first

now has scientists baffled.

Those who have analyzed the statue

say there are unknown materials in its makeup

and that all attempts to date the piece

have been unsuccessful.

VICKI: I honestly believe it's cursed.

DIANNE: Why?

Ever since you brought it, everything's gone wrong.

The cats freak out when it's in the room.

It's hard to explain.

It just... it feels negative.

DIANNE: You said it moved?

Yeah. We, uh, put it in the spare room

because no one wants to look at it.

But every time we'd wake up, it'd be right here again.

You weren't moving it, were you, Robert?

No, it it wasn't him.

We, uh, filmed it.

I set up a camera in the living room just near the door there.

You can see for yourself.

Moved on its own.

Why do you still have it?

Well, every time we throw it out,

it just comes back again.

No one believes us.

DIANNE: Maybe I can help.

Do you mind if I take it for some testing?

Go for it.

I've observed the statue in time lapse for 12 hours now

and nothing paranormal has happened so far.

We're heading to Lake Chaff.

It's a small lake down near Jervis Bay.

A woman's gone missing.

And you think it's paranormal?

I don't know.

It's pretty far.

Why are we going there?

Is it because the whole statue thing is a dead end?

I don't know.

What about this woman? You don't think she drowned?

It's similar to a past case, an unsolved one.

Jenny Willis's son saw her walk into the water

and she never came out.

That sucks.

I grew up without a mum.

Poor kid.

When I was 10, my family went to Lake Chaff.

My mum walked into the water...

and then she was gone.

God.

I'm sorry.

They searched everywhere.

We stayed at the lake for days, but they...

There was no sign of her.

Not long after, the lake dried up...

and there was nothing left.

Not even bones.

I don't wanna sound disrespectful or anything,

but do you think it's possible that, like,

like, an animal took her or something?

No. No sign of animals when the lake dried up.

OSMOND: Hmm.

It's full again for the first time in years.

I got the call this morning.

OSMOND: And you... you think it's possible

it could be the lake from that photograph?

Maybe.

I don't know.

I haven't been there in a long time.

OPERATOR: Police or emergency.

CALLER: Yeah, um, uh, emergency please.

My-my wife, she's just gone under the water.

OPERATOR: Okay. Can I get a location, sir?

CALLER: Yeah. We're at Lake Chaff near the--

near-near the rock pools.

She's--But she's gone. I--I don't where she's gone.

OPERATOR: Okay. I need you to stay calm.

Search and Rescue are on their way.

CALLER: Uh, we--we've been looking.

We've been looking for the last little while.

I-I-I don't where she is.

Right, could you give her last location of her last sighted?

[siren wailing] [boat engine revs]

DIANNE: Have you, um, been in the water yet?

Oh, um, no. I'm just setting up now.

DIANNE: Has anyone seen anything?

Uh, I haven't heard anything. Sorry.

Thanks.

[radio chattering]

[siren wailing]

Thanks for driving down, Reggie.

REGGIE: No worries.

[Osmond sighs]

How's it going with the search?

Uh, there's no trace of Jenny yet.

Hmm.

[helicopter whirring]

What's it like to be here again?

DIANNE: Everything looks different.

Like, I feel sorry for her, I really do.

But her mum could have just drowned.

Like, things happen.

I don't think this is gonna be good for the channel.

I don't think anyone's gonna watch this.

OPERATOR: And is there anything else

that you can think of that was around at the time?

Were there any animals that you saw?

CALLER: Um, just, um,

I might have seen a shadow under the water,

but there's nothing there now.

OPERATOR: Okay. And did you notice any kind of...

[operator faintly speaking]

[helicopter whirring]

[gentle music]

I love this song.

It reminds me of my grandparents.

They used to...

Up, up. They used to dance to it.

- Come on. Come on. - No, Oz, I--

- I don't dance. - Come on.

What you never... What are you so nervous about?

I don't dance.

Oh, you've never been in a relationship

where you've danced with somebody before?

[gentle music continues]

Of course I've been in a relationship.

What's wrong?

[gentle music continues]

Sorry.

I was just trying to... learn something about you,

you know what I mean?

[gentle music continues]

You don't wanna talk about that sort of thing?

No, it's fine.

[gentle music continues]

You know how you asked me if I've been in a relationship?

OSMOND: Yeah.

[gentle music continues]

I feel like there's something that I should tell you.

You're in a relationship now.

I wasn't, like, hitting on you.

It was just, like, a fun thing.

No, it's not--It's not that. It's not...

It's, um...

It's a dream that I have.

[dog barking]

- A dream? - This...

This thing.

OSMOND: Mm-hmm.

It comes to me in my sleep.

It's like...

[gentle music continues]

half horse, half man.

I don't...

And it feels really real,

and I don't know what it means.

That's just a dream, right?

DIANNE: No.

No, it's real, Oz.

OSMOND: I don't know if it'd be real.

What do you mean?

Uh...

I shouldn't have said anything.

Um, I'm gonna-- I'm gonna go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

All right. Sorry.

[traffic humming]

[car door slams]

Hey, everyone. This lovely lass is Gina,

and she's got a couple stories about Lake Chaff,

ain't ya?

[Gina chuckles]

Everyone knows you don't go near the water.

Yeah, and why is that?

'Cause people go missing, like, all the time.

Yeah?

Yeah.

[upbeat music, patrons chattering]

What, like, they drown?

No, it only just filled up.

But there was this elderly couple, though, the Dixons.

You know, small town and all.

- Everyone knew them. - Mm-hmm.

And, well, we do this annual charity walk around the lake.

Um, you know, this woman got really tired,

so her husband suggested they cut across, you know,

back across the center.

- Yeah. - Over 30 people saw them,

like, walking across the lake.

And?

Um... [chuckles]

Then what happened?

They just, they...

they got halfway and just disappeared.

- What? - Yeah.

They just vanished into thin air.

No one ever saw them again.

Oh, if-if that many people saw it,

why didn't I ever hear about it?

It happened many years ago now.

It's kind of become, like, an urban myth.

OSMOND: Hmm.

I was there, though. It happened.

- Really? - Ask anyone from the town.

Everyone knows.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

[couple moaning]

♪♪♪

[water splashing]

-I'll go get her. - Mm-hmm.

OSMOND: Gina, do you wanna just take a seat?

Just there.

Oh, so do I look at the camera or--

- Look at me. - Yeah, just look straight.

Okay.

DIANNE: So you witnessed an elderly couple

disappear at Lake Chaff.

Can you explain exactly what you saw?

Well, I was behind Jack and Beryl Dixon

when Beryl collapsed.

It was a hot day, and she's really old.

They decided to cut back across the lake,

which was dried up at the time.

I remember watching them walk into the haze.

It was kind of cool and surreal,

so I actually, um, snapped a photo.

After I took it, I looked up, and they were gone.

DIANNE: And no one ever saw them again?

No.

But the footprints were there, in the mud.

They just stopped at a point.

DIANNE: So there was some water?

Actually it did rain the night before.

There was only a puddle or two, nothing significant.

DIANNE: Do you still have the photo?

Yeah, I do.

That's the last anyone ever saw of the Dixons.

[engine sputters and revs]

How is it that people are going missing all over Australia

and no one's even talking about it?

[phone ringing]

Hey, Gina, how you going?

Yeah.

Really?

Mm, thanks for telling me.

See ya.

They found Jenny.

She drowned.

Then it's not the same.

Yeah. Maybe.

They found her body in another lake.

In Tasmania.

♪♪♪

For our international viewers,

some of you might not understand the significance of this.

So let me explain.

This is Lake Chaff,

and this is Tasmania.

This is about a 10-to-12-hour drive,

and then they would need to get a ferry

all the way down here as well.

To think that someone could transport a body there

undetected so quickly is inconceivable.

[plane engines whooshing]

They found her here.

I think it's all connected somehow.

Mm-hmm.

It's definitely not the lake from that photo either.

I'm gonna have a look.

Why are we going to a hospital?

I just wanted to see if there was any news on Jenny.

OSMOND: Oh, are we allowed to take cameras in here?

Yeah.

[doors rattle]

[people chattering]

Dianne, I don't think we should be here.

[zipper whirs]

OSMOND: Fuck this.

She's been in the water at least two days.

[Osmond deeply exhales]

OSMOND: Jesus, Dianne.

There's pronounced blanching and bloating of the epidermis.

Discolorations distributed unevenly across the body.

[Osmond retching]

[horn honking]

[phone ringing]

That woman never left the water.

Yeah, and I can't believe you went in there.

[phone ringing]

Portal maybe?

Fucking portal.

[phone ringing]

Or this Dianne.

Maybe the guy that reported Jen missing at Lake Chaff

just came down here and murdered her

and just made that up, to cover his arse.

She died as a result of drowning.

Yeah, and a strong guy can just hold a woman down

and drown her, can't he?

We should be looking at ex-partners

and things like that, not thinking about portals.

Usually the answer to something like this

is gonna be the most simple explanation, isn't it?

♪♪♪

So what do you think happened?

Like, really happened?

I think she went to another dimension.

OSMOND: Dianne.

People don't just disappear, Oz. They go somewhere.

OSMOND: You don't think that could be

just a coping mechanism to see it that way?

You think it's better not knowing?

OSMOND: I just think there has to be

a logical explanation for it.

♪♪♪

It's a Saturday,

and I miss you. [screams]

DIANNE: Are you ready, Klaas?

People are calling you a hero.

I'm-I'm not a hero.

I just thought I could take him.

DIANNE: Can you explain what happened?

I was at the waterfall,

and that's when I heard women screaming.

And when I turned around,

that's when I saw him stabbing someone.

At first I froze.

I didn't know what was happening.

His eyes were intense,

crazy,

like he was possessed.

DIANNE: The papers say he was a quiet, normal person.

His family say he was happy.

He was just at the falls,

swimming in the lake with his girlfriend.

[camera shutter clicking]

KLAAS: There was so much blood.

DIANNE: Did he say anything?

It was gibberish.

It sounded like "Oh, fear".

RESPONDER: Over.

Coming a bit closer.

Hey, mate. Mate, can you hear me?

Uh, nonresponsive.

Gonna get in.

Ah.

Okay.

Um, yeah. Not good.

Confirmed sighting, got visual.

Yep.

Tell the guys I'm gonna come back.

I'm on the fence. What ya come back--

This is where he jumped.

I'm not a fan of heights.

DIANNE: It's a long way down.

OSMOND: How far down is it?

- It's a long way down. - I don't wanna know.

Jesus.

[water rushing, birds chirping]

This is where they found the girlfriend.

Yeah. Right.

What are we looking for anyway?

Dianne?

Dianne?

Hey.

What are you doing?

[Dianne heavily breathing]

It's an old mining town, Ophir.

Listen to this.

"The town of of Ophir,

site of the former Hargraves gold mine,

has been abandoned since the mid 1800s.

Evidence of the town vanished

including prospector and entrepreneur Edward Hargraves.

No trace of the miners

or their families has ever been found."

I'm gonna look it up.

What could a...

a town of missing miners have to do with this kid, though?

I don't know. It sounds interesting, though.

- It's in the middle of nowhere. - Hmm.

[sheep bleating]

She was...

she was just swimming in the creek,

near the observatory.

We made a day of it.

When she went under, and Andrew ran right into grab her...

[exhales]

It didn't look...

There was there was something unnatural

about the way she went under.

DIANNE: What do you mean?

Like, like she was pulled.

Like, there's there's no other way to describe it.

I--I mean, the water wasn't even that deep.

It, you know, came up to my knees if anything.

It seems impossible.

[sighs]

Everyone helped look, though,

but no one found anything.

And the police got involved,

and they did their own search but...

Someone started saying that maybe she was snatched.

But before we even got home, we, like...

we got a phone call from a hospital in Perth.

DIANNE: What do you think happened?

We don't know.

Everyone seems to have an opinion, though.

Like they think we would use our own daughter

for some attention-seeking scheme.

See, Clara, she-she won't say anything.

I'm hoping one day she tells us what happened.

Would you mind if I spoke to Clara alone?

Thanks for talking with me, Clara.

I need you to tell me what happened

when you went under the water.

You see, when I was a little girl,

something similar happened.

I can tell that you're brave,

but I need you to be really brave

and tell me what happened.

What happened to you?

It was my mum.

She went under the water and vanished,

just like you.

Only she never came back to me.

And I need to know where she went.

Can you help me?

Please?

I'll believe you.

I know you think that no one will believe you, but I will.

I promise.

I don't think I was meant to come out.

Out of where?

CLARA: The place.

What did you see there?

CLARA: I saw some squiggly things.

DIANNE: What were they doing?

Wriggling around in the air.

What else did you see?

CLARA: Someone was there. He was angry.

A man?

CLARA: No.

Then who is he?

Clara, who is he?

Can I see your other drawings?

[papers rustling]

You saw these?

Clara?

Who are these people, Clara?

Can can you describe them for me?

Please?

Did you, uh...

Did you, uh...

did you see her?

Did you see this woman?

Clara?

Clara, did you see this woman?

- Clara! - Okay.

That's enough.

Klaas called.

He sounded pretty freaked out.

It sounded like it was urgent.

He reckons he's seeing things and hearing things.

DIANNE: Like what?

I don't know. He hung up on me.

DIANNE: That girl knows something, Oz,

and she won't tell me.

Yeah, and she's... she's just a kid.

Uh, we can't go in all aggressive like that.

She went in there and got out alive.

I need to know what happened.

I was talking to the dad in the kitchen,

and they've already got a six-figure deal

with "60 Minutes." What does that tell you?

You think it's another contract?

Sounds to me like they need the cash.

Well, I don't think she was meant to escape,

and she could be in danger.

You need to let it go, Dianne.

Just forget about it.

This is what I've been working for, Oz,

a breakthrough like this.

It's not a breakthrough, though.

[Dianne] The lights are out.

Well, I spoke to him 15 minutes ago,

and he said he was home.

[knocking] Klaas?

You there, mate?

KLAAS: What do you want?

- Klaas? - What do you want?

What do you want?

What do you want?

OSMOND: Klaas, you in there, mate?

I just saw him.

He's fucking wigging out. Can you hear that?

Klaas, it's Oz and Dianne.

- What is he doing? - Can you let us in?

I'm gonna have to bust it.

Klaas!

DIANNE: We need to get in.

OSMOND: Klaas, open the fucking door.

[door bangs]

- Klaas? - Klaas?

OSMOND: Klaas?

DIANNE: Klaas?

KLAAS: Leave me alone.

OSMOND: What's going on, mate?

KLAAS: I didn't do anything. I...

What's wrong with him?

Be careful.

KLAAS: I swear. I didn't do anything.

What do you want?

OSMOND: What is this shit?

- [knocking] - Do you hear that?

- [creature screams] - What the fuck was that?

REGGIE: Guys?

- Dianne what was that? - I don't--I don't know.

REGGIE: Guys, look! OSMOND: Hey, hey, hey.

Open the door, mate.

- Klaas? - He's locked it.

Klaas!

- Opening up from underneath. - Fuck!

Klaas?

[water rushing]

Where the fuck is he?

I have no idea.

[water dripping]

He's gone.

I saw him go in there.

There's nowhere else that he could have gone.

How could he--How could he not be in there?

I mean...

other dimensions and...

I know I keep saying that there has to be,

like, a reasonable explanation but...

Come on.

What the fuck was that?

Welcome to this "Oz Mystery" special.

Tonight we're discussing an intricate chain of events

seemingly unrelated

that we now believe are in fact all connected.

But first, there's something I'd like to share with you,

from my childhood.

It's the reason I started to investigate the paranormal.

- My-- - And that said,

we should mention that the police

are looking into these matters.

and we shouldn't jump to conclusions.

You still don't believe me.

I'm just saying

we should mention that there's other possibilities.

[knock on door]

Your hot date?

- Come in. - Excuse us.

Are you the homeowner, Dianne Wilson?

DIANNE: Yes. And who are you?

I'm Detective Nick Long.

I'm Detective Suzanne Lake.

Badges?

NICK: Don't be a smart arse.

This isn't about the, uh, morgue in Tazzy, is it?

NICK: Is this your boyfriend?

No.

NICK: What morgue?

Nothing.

We need to speak to you, Ms. Wilson.

- Shit. - What?

- Cut the camera. - What about?

SUZANNE: So how do you know Clara Stevens?

I interviewed her a few weeks ago.

SUZANNE: Why do you think Clara's parents

asked us to have a chat with you concerning her disappearance?

Because I'm investigating her. It's all on this wall.

You can see for yourself.

SUZANNE: We'd like to search your home, Ms. Wilson.

Why?

Have you got Clara Stevens here?

DIANNE: What? No.

You expect us to believe you're not involved

in her disappearance?

You've got her photograph front and center

on your fucking wall!

- It's what I do. - Oh, come off!

I'm trying to help, actually.

Bollocks.

Are you saying that Clara's gone missing again?

Yeah. Not that long after you interviewed her.

I think you know exactly

what you're doing there, Ms. Wilson.

I think you're a lying sick bitch.

Hey, Nick.

I think I might have found something.

How do you explain this, Ms. Wilson?

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Why do you have photos of Clara in your house?

I think maybe I know what happened to Clara, okay?

I know what happened to Clara.

Dianne Wilson, I'm arresting you

in relation to disappearance of Clara Stevens.

- Anything you say and do can-- - I'm trying to help.

I told you to turn that off!

Here we go.

- I got you a coffee. - Thanks.

So?

They don't have enough to hold me.

Can I, uh, ask you something or should I wait?

Just ask.

Why do you have those pictures of Clara?

I've been monitoring her, that's all.

Why?

Because she's the only one we know of to get out alive.

And I thought...

I thought maybe it would follow her and I...

I think it has.

It.

What do you mean, it?

I don't know.

You do realize how crazy this sounds, right?

You still think it was the parents.

I don't know.

It wasn't you, was it?

I'm sorry.

I'm just--It would help you with your cause

and your investigation is all I'm saying.

Oh, at least it's not because you think

I'm a pedophile.

You really think I would kidnap a little girl.

Well, I don't know what you do when we're not filming.

You were obviously stalking her.

Stalking?

Yeah. Well, you just got arrested.

You need to know when to draw the line, Dianne.

I saw how you were with her

when you thought she was holding out on you.

That kind of desperation is just...

it's fucking dangerous.

No one has ever believed me, and I wouldn't expect you to.

So...who took Clara, then?

I don't know.

But we won't be seeing her again.

I guarantee it.

I wouldn't go around saying things like that

if I was you.

She was never meant to get out.

I've decided to head down to Ophir.

I'm just waiting on Reggie.

There's a historian down there that I'm gonna speak to.

I'm gonna head off this afternoon.

Dianne. Figured you'd need someone

to come down and keep you outta trouble.

DIANNE: It's nice to see you, Oz.

You too.

[horn honks]

Should we just go knock on the door?

I guess. I can't find the number.

Wait up.

[footsteps shuffling]

[knocking]

Hello?

No number on the house.

This has to be it.

Yeah, he said he'd meet us here.

Airbnb, folks.

Hello?

DIANNE: Did he reply?

Nope.

[speaker taps]

VOICE: Get out. Get out.

I hope this is the right house.

How's that funny?

[knock on door]

Hello?

OSMOND: Maybe here's now.

Wouldn't he have keys?

OSMOND: I don't know. Just let him in.

[knocking continues]

God. Oz!

- Oz. - Yeah?

Water.

Hey, mate. What are you doing?

DIANNE: He needs water.

You all right, mate? Is this your place?

What's wrong with you?

What's going on? You all right?

You need to call someone?

What's up?

[visitor breathing heavily]

- Water. - Give him some water.

Put down the water! Put down the water!

What is--Who are you?

I can feel him.

- He's here. - Calm down.

- I can feel him. - We wanna help you,

but you need to tell us who you are.

It's him.

What the fuck?

Do you have relatives in the area?

He fucking looked like me, didn't he?

Or am I losing my shit? Does he look like me?

Yeah.

Fuck that!

I heard nothing.

[birds chirping]

[insect buzzing, birds chirping]

DIANNE: They say it hasn't rained here for 10 years.

OSMOND: It has now.

[birds chirping]

What are they?

I'm not entirely sure,

but I think they might be roasting pits.

- Roasting pits? - Yeah.

It's so deep.

[stone clattering]

It's weird shit.

[bell tolling]

DIANNE: Thanks for having us, Nola.

I was wondering when you were gonna track me down.

Sorry?

Let me explain.

You took the picture.

I took I took all of them.

All of them?

It's the strangest phenomenon, isn't it?

I--I go to the lake and take a photo, and no one's there.

I come home and develop it, and there they are.

How is that possible?

I don't know.

But you were the first I recognized.

How do you know me?

You've got that silly spectacle warehouse commercial on.

It plays every five minutes here.

Your face stood out because I've seen it before.

It's the guy from the BnB last night.

No, that's impossible. He'd be over 100 years old.

That's Edward Hargraves.

It was his mine that was being worked down in Ophir.

Does Edward have relatives in the area?

As far as I know, they all vanished along with him.

But after seeing you, I'm questioning that.

Why did you put that... that photo in my letterbox

and not gimme some explanation for it?

I don't know why I took it. It...

It was like I was in a trance,

and I got in the car and off I went.

And truthfully, I've just been trying to forget it.

Can you, uh--Can you tell us about the missing miners?

Where did they go?

I don't know. It's a--It's a mystery.

All we've got are the stories that are passed down,

the ones my grandfather told me and his grandfather told him.

And what do the locals say?

A few theories exist.

Uh...

Apparently in Edward's day,

there was a lot of conflict with the local Aboriginal mob.

Some say the local Aboriginal community

wiped the miners out.

I think that's a bunch of bullshit.

What do you think happened?

There's something unusual about Ophir.

Even since I was a little girl, it just hasn't been right.

If you ask me, I agree with the mob.

They say the miners brought a plague with them,

a water curse.

They say the townspeople are in the lake.

DIANNE: After seeing all these homes,

it's hard to imagine everyone just vanishing.

OSMOND: Nola said something about a water curse?

Yeah.

I'm not sure how

but everything's been connected to water: lakes, rivers.

And everything started off again after the storms.

It's gotta be connected.

Connected by a curse?

I don't know.

OSMOND: How could that woman have that picture of us?

I think it could all just be a setup.

She could be just playing dumb.

DIANNE: She didn't seem like the type, but, I mean,

it was suspicious.

And you think that psycho that came in the cabin last night

is Edward Hargraves?

It certainly looked a lot like him.

How could it be him?

I don't know.

How could he look so much like me?

Do you think it's like what you were talking about before,

like, another dimension or something?

You didn't believe me.

I don't know anymore.

Well, I mean it's possible you're a relative.

Maybe that's why you were drawn here.

OSMOND: Maybe I should look up my family tree, I guess.

The resemblance is uncanny.

OSMOND: How how could he still be alive, though?

What is he? 150 years old?

DIANNE: He's been somewhere else.

Maybe time is different there.

DIANNE: It almost sounds like voices.

OSMOND: Don't say that.

Maybe the townspeople went down the mine and got trapped.

All of them?

I kinda wanna go inside.

I can't.

I know.

But I kinda wanna go in too.

DIANNE: This place is completely flooded.

That's a bad thing, right?

Yeah.

You wanna keep going?

Let's go.

[footsteps clicking]

REGGIE: I am not being paid enough for this.

OSMOND: So much water.

What do you wanna do?

[creature howls]

- Did you hear that - Yeah, I fucking heard it.

REGGIE: Guys, I wanna go.

Maybe we should go

- [creature howling] REGGIE: What is that?

Run!

[Dianne panting]

We've just been running around the mines.

We could hear voices,

but I think we're getting close.

I'm glad we came. [panting]

At times, um...

I thought Dianne was, um...

not crazy

but hanging onto her grief too much.

I don't blame her for being fucked up by that.

It'd be hard for a little girl to lose her mum like that.

Everything else that's been happening.

Like, why are we in that picture?

Did somebody want us here?

Part of me just feels like I...

I should just bail.

For some reason, I just can't leave her.

[water splashing]

OSMOND: This is it.

We should set up the cameras,

see if we can capture anything strange overnight.

Do you ever think that the photo was a warning?

Maybe we shouldn't be here.

There's something here, Oz.

We need to figure out what it is.

- Aren't you scared? - Of course.

[sighs] That's us dead in the water.

That wasn't real.

Yeah, but what if it's a premonition

of what will happen if we don't mind our own business?

We need to find the truth.

[child laughing]

DIANNE: Clara. OSMOND: This way.

[child laughing]

REGGIE: Rolling.

As we were walking out, we heard a kid laughing.

It sounded like it came from in here.

Might be Clara.

I don't think there's anyone down there.

[stone clattering]

It's deep but not too deep.

That's what she said.

- Sorry. - Put a camera down there.

[static crackling]

[static crackling]

♪♪♪

[player clicks]

[tape winding]

Why would they do that?

If you ask me, it's a sacrifice.

To what? A demon.

I don't know.

It's easy to call the unknown a demon.

Why film it?

I think they were showing others what to do.

Maybe they ran out of children.

That's a disturbing thought.

Was anyone ever punished for that?

There was no one left to punish.

You'd be wise to leave now. Don't go back there.

Thanks for having us, Nola.

Some secrets are better left buried.

We'll be leaving tomorrow.

I don't know what or who woke it up,

but let's hope it goes back to sleep soon.

Maybe you should leave too.

This is my home.

I've learned to live with it.

I just keep my distance, and you two should do the same.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I set up a camera in the house last night,

and there's something I think you should see.

What is it?

[Osmond chuckles] You're joking.

That fucking thing was in your room last night?

DIANNE: Yeah.

Hargraves and now this shit.

Yeah.

I can't sleep after the last couple of days.

Like, that-that dude coming into the place.

Looking exactly like me, like...

what the fuck?

And the Nola woman has a photo of him.

He's 100 years old.

Like, I've had my doubts about Dianne early on,

and the whole thing with...

with Clara and her being arrested.

I was thinking about bailing back then.

But the shit that's happened in the last two days...

I gotta... I gotta hang out and...

and see what's going on with all this shit,

because it's freaking me out.

But I have to know what's going on.

[sighs]

It's just too many coincidences.

It's just... I can't ignore it.

[door creaks]

[Dianne crying, footsteps thudding]

[water rushing, Dianne crying]

Dianne?

Is that you?

You all right?

Dianne, what is it?

Did that horseman come into your room again?

REGGIE: Dianne?

I was asked that I record this,

even if just for myself.

I had a nightmare.

A very vivid nightmare about my mother.

She was walking into the lake that we visited today.

Maybe it wasn't a dream.

I don't know.

Anyway,

she looked just like she did

in the photos from when she went missing.

And when I woke up, it was like she was right there,

in my ear, whispering.

OSMOND: What did she say?

She was just saying my name,

over and over.

OSMOND: Why did you scream?

Because it wasn't her voice anymore.

It was something deep,

inhuman.

Oz, I think my mother's in hell.

♪♪♪

You okay?

We should stay tonight.

I knew you were gonna say that.

There's nothing on the tapes.

We should stay tonight.

[Osmond sighs]

Do you mind grabbing the cameras and the tripod?

Yeah, no worries.

[water splashing]

[bird calls]

OSMOND: Do you believe in curses?

Many cultures from around the world

have a history of belief in curses.

I just feel like nothing comes from nothing, you know?

Do you think we should speak to the local Aboriginal mob?

There are Aboriginal curses, right?

This is something else.

[person screaming]

Hello?

OSMOND: Where's it coming from?

DIANNE: I don't know. It sounds far away but-but close.

OSMOND: Hello?

- [people screaming] - Oh, shit!

- It's her. - What? Who?

- Mum. - What?

Mum? Mum?

Mum! It's me, Dianne!

Mum!

[people screaming]

It's her! I know it!

[people screaming]

[screaming continues]

Show yourselves!

[screaming continues]

I'm worried about Dianne.

I hope we get some answers, 'cause she's just not coping.

[creature growling]

You keep making noise. When are you gonna come out?

[footsteps]

Is this you?

Is that you in Dianne's room?

[creature growling]

I think we woke it up...

with our mining and fracking.

Who could sleep in this earth?

I mean, maybe the floods enabled it.

Or we woke it up.

CREW MEMBER: Quiet on set upstairs.

Ready? Action. [clack]

Speed. Set.

REGGIE: They told me to film, no matter what, so I did.

[camera shatters clicking]

- Enough of that. Nobody else. - Stop.

WOMAN: I was just doing my job. MAN: How many bodies?

I didn't think anything would happen.

[water splashing]

REGGIE: Honestly. I don't think they drowned,

but they never came out of the lake.

That's a fact.

NICK: We have no further information

on their whereabouts.

It wasn't a deep lake.

We used divers and underwater scanning equipment,

found nothing.

They're not in there.

We do know, however, that Dianne Wilson visited Ophir

on several occasions in the past,

despite giving the locals the impression

that she'd never been there.

I told them not to go back there.

They were getting too close.

INTERVIEWER: To what?

The truth.

The truth is, Dianne Wilson was a troubled soul.

She'd never really gotten over the death of her mother.

And she was known to be stalking a young child

who'd gone missing in the area.

She may have been stalking children for years

and dumping them in that well.

For now, though, people have to draw their own conclusions.

Or until we can find Dianne Wilson, of course.

Do I think he's alive?

Yes.

Well, until we find his body, he's alive, right?

Oz's family came after us, hard.

They blamed us for everything.

I think it's pretty clear that Oz made his own choices.

He wasn't forced to do anything.

As for these mythological creatures

that she's talking about, we've got...

I think it's just an excuse to get into the area

and just look for children,

playing with their heads.

I just feel sorry for them people's family,

because no one knows where they gone.

It's up to the language of land and the spirits.

It's got nothing to do with people.

♪♪♪

Same with all them people that were taken

by them bad energy, by that bad water spirit.

They're gone.

Their flesh language is no longer,

but their spirit remains

and will tell the story of what happened.

REGGIE: I don't why I came back here.

I just felt like I had to.

Maybe I am like Dianne, I want answers.

The police dredged the lake.

People searched the area for weeks, and no one found this.

[water splashing]

It's the camera Dianne was holding when she walked in.

It seems to still be intact.

I'm gonna play the footage for you now.

No matter what, the police will say it's a hoax,

but...

I'll let you make up your own mind.

[static crackling]

[Osmond breathing heavily]

DIANNE: Oz, get up.

- I can't see anything. - We're in a cave.

- Okay. How can you tell? - The camera?

OSMOND: Let me see.

You brought a camera?

I always keep it in my pockets, just in case.

OSMOND: Of course you did.

- We gotta go. We gotta go. - Fuck!

Let's go this way.

Fuck!

[Osmond and Dianne panting]

OSMOND: Do you think it's, like, a cave under the lake,

and we somehow drifted in there or something?

Fuck.

[drum banging]

- Is that a drum? - What?

Shh. Shh.

[Osmond heavily breathing]

What the fuck it that?

Just wait here, and I'm gonna try and find my way out here.

- Be quick, okay? - Okay.

[static crackling]

[Osmond breathing heavily]

[drum banging]

I keep seeing little flashes of light,

but every time I get up to 'em, they just disappear.

Fuck!

I think we're fucked.

[breathing heavily]

Dianne!

Ah. fuck!

Where are you?

Going round in fucking circles.

Shit.

What the fuck?

Okay. Fuck. Fuck.

Dianne?

Dianne?

Oh, fucking... Dianne! Dianne!

Where are you?

[creature screaming]

Is that you, Dianne?

Fuck!
