Has your father ever wandered off like this?

No, never.

(mouse clicks)

These lights right here, you have no idea what those are?

I was hoping you could tell me that.

They look like headlights. Is there a road back there?

No, there's nothing.

Not-not at all.

Okay, then what are we looking at? Is this an abduction?

Considering the lack of evidence, um

Look, let's not jump

to the boy cried little green man quite yet.

We've been going in circles about

this whole incident for weeks.

Thankfully with this new footage,

I think we're taking a step in the right direction.

I agree with you.

Look, I know you've been alone out there

for quite some time now.

And tell you what, I'm confident that with our work here,

we're gonna help you find the answers you need to move on.

Jeremy, how you feeling? You ready for this?

Yeah, yes, I'm ready.

Thank you, guys.

All right, well, I'll tell you what.

We've got your address pulled up.

We're gonna pack up our gear. Get going real quick.

You sit tight (static crackling)

Called. (Static crackling)

And he's gone.

That's our cue.

(chair creaking)

(chair clacking)

(camera clacks)

[Jackson] I mean, they talk about connections

in college a lot.

I don't see it, man.

What are we connecting with here?

What's, I mean, do you wanna connect with these douche bags?

Jackson.

[Jackson] Just something.

Ah, sh-I can hear 'em.

(Jackson chuckles)

Ah, yeah, hey, man,

you grow up with her,

you're gonna get sick of things.

Oh, dude, looks like you got some competition.

It's all right. I'll make it awkward.

[Eddie] Stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop.

[Jackson] Yo, yo, we got some free candy in here!

[Eddie] Jackson, stop.

[Jackson] Hold on one second.

Hey, you don't want any Snickers or nothin'? Huh.

I get it. He's into Rollos.

- He seems nice. - Nice?

Yeah, he's nice. He's nice.

Does he have something at the art gallery?

You are worse than dad. You know that?

[Jackson] Dad didn't pick us up from school?

[Rachel] Hey, Eddie.

Hey, Rachel.

(door thuds)

- What is this? - Professional equipment.

Behave yourself, Romeo.

Is it a (indistinct) just like out the window here?

- What are you doing? - Yeah, about that, uh,

where's your car?

- My car? - Yes.

The big car. It goes vroom, made of metal, fast.

- Ugh. - We could have just

brought her, we could've moved the stuff, you know?

- Mm-hmm. - Just brought her with.

[Jackson] You're right, we should have her carry it.

Dude, she's getting away.

Oh, get her. Get her!

(Jackson chuckles)

Recording.

[Jackson] Okay. I gave it some thought.

I got it. Don't worry.

You can have the producer credit. Really, really?

'Cause you're helping us out a lot with the car

and, you know, I think that's a fair trade,

'cause it's gonna be a lot more experience than

what you've been getting from your 60 months

- of summer camp here. - Oh, okay. Okay.

That's sounds like you're just jealous.

Jealous? I'd rather get stabbed, all right?

Just 'cause you got kicked out of every school.

(poles clanging)

I rest my case.

Hey, you know there's a lot of filmmakers

that got kicked out of film school.

Spike Lee quit after his first day. I lasted two.

(items clattering)

I think he's jealous.

Of Spike Lee, maybe.

[Rachel] Someone bring their makeup kit?

Well, why don't you open it up, all right?

Hey, you should know what that is,

Miss Film School, that is...

(case clacking)

Oh shit. It's makeup, all right.

That looks good.

If I've been given a little warning,

I could've like cleared more stuff out.

(trunk thuds)

Hold onto to your butts.

[Jackson] Okay, well that-that-there's assertive driving

- and then there's this. - Hey, wait.

You're gonna come back... Take a left.

[Rachel] No, I...

[Jackson] Are there cooties in this car?

You're in here.

Back route.

Go the back route?

Back route, don't listen to me. Listen to him.

[Rachel] It's okay. I'm going.

Yeah. She should be coming out right now.

Oh, yep. There she is.

All right. Park it.

[Rachel] All right.

(door thuds)

Stephanie, how are you doing?

Good. I was having a bad experience in there.

I wanted to go for the cheeses.

Where's the boom?

Trying to spy?

(Rachel chuckles)

(Eddie speaking indistinctly)

All they had was the knockoff brands,

like you said they were.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

But maybe there's another store

around here that sells us SD cards.

It's all right, we'll just

we'll film with what we got here

and hope the files don't corrupt, we'll pray.

Okay, I'm gonna (speaking indistinctly) that.

Yeah, as long as you got the cheese.

You like what you see?

I swear to God,

I think MrBeast copied us

when he did his Windigo video. - I love MrBeast.

He's such a good inspirational person.

- Yeah, well. - Beast, MrBeast.

MrBeast is gonna change the world.

Ah, I don't wanna be in this car anymore.

[Rachel] For real, I feel like we've been

in car for 10 hours.

[Rachel] Yeah, so let's play a game.

It's like I spy, but it's called I feel where we just,

you know, just let it all out.

I feel irritated.

[Jackson] Okay, well you-you lost that game.

Okay. Tell me where to go.

- I don't know where to go. - Not that one.

This one. The one the Audi's going down, yeah.

[Rachel] No, you're in my way.

Whoa, this guy peed (indistinct).

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Good thing she's in front.

How far out is this guy?

It's a lot of woods to get lost in.

Never to be seen again.

[Jackson] Ooh, okay.

Well, cryptic talk like that,

I imagine you have some sort of premonitions

on what's coming our way.

Hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- I think I'm getting some. - Yep.

Bear shit. (Chuckles)

Oh my God, you guys are so odd.

[Jackson] Aren't you glad you came?

[Rachel] I wonder if there's any, like,

dead bodies out here.

[Jackson] Hey, you know, more bodies, more ghosts.

And some good footage.

(vehicles rumbling)

These all yours?

[Jeremy] Oh, uh, my dad got those

when he thought this place was gonna

be crawling with grandkids.

[Stephanie] Are-are you married or?

[Jeremy] Uh, I was.

- Well. - Freaks.

Same whispers, happens mostly at night.

Strange noises coming from the woods.

I started hearing-come morning time.

Crashing in the back.

I- I grabbed this light. Check it out.

And, well, there you are.

(Jeremy chuckles)

[Rachel] Was there like a storm or anything or?

[Jeremy] No.

[Jackson] Did you hear anything else?

[Jeremy] Nothin'.

What is that?

EMF?

What?

It's an electromagnetic field reader.

I don't think the trees have electro

[Jackson] Jeremy, Jeremy. Don't worry about it.

That's why I hired him.

It's a ghost gun.

[Jackson] It's not a ghost gun. Yeah, it's got a serial.

"Star Trek" thing. Like something from "Star Trek" or?

- Lemme do this. - Let the (indistinct)

- All right? - I mean, Whatever.

Jackson, come on.

(ground crackling)

[Jackson] Uh, hey, Jeremy?

What's with the cross?

My dog.

[Jackson] Ah, uh, sorry for your loss.

This is it. Edge of the property.

I don't usually go out past here.

Why is that?

(chuckles) The trees.

(Stephanie chuckles)

(wind swooshing)

[Jackson] Eddie, how we doin'?

Tired, bored, kinda gotta take a shit.

[Jackson] All right, how long do you think

that's gonna take?

Like five minutes.

[Jackson] Well, four would be better 'cause if you stop

and take a whip, you'd smell money burning.

It smells more like Calvin Klein obsession to me.

(feet clacking)

(polls clattering)

You bringing enough cameras?

(camera clacking)

(ladder creaking)

All right. Welcome to the 21st century, my friend.

(ladder cracking)

Nice knife.

Oh yeah? Yeah, my grandpa bought it for me.

Yeah, he fought in Korea.

Sounds like a good chap.

You gonna put up any more of these?

Yeah, I already set up one over there.

There's gonna be behind the tree line,

I wanna set up two trail cams.

Don't go too deep.

Those woods are bigger than you can imagine,

and the sun will go down right before you know it.

Oh, we'll be-we'll be well done before sundown, sir.

Before this I was actually doing

real estate photography and videography.

I was meaning to ask about that.

Like after this is through,

were you interested in like maybe moving and

No.

Okay, well, I don't know.

This is some good property.

It's a competitive market,

and like you'll get a lot of exposure from the documentary.

Yeah, I don't really want people knowing where I live.

Okay, well, that's why you move.

But if you have any friends that like wanna

I'll be sure to let 'em know.

Okay, cool, so you want a couple

of business cards or anything?

Leave 'em inside.

All right.

(sighs) Come on, stupid.

(sticks popping and crackling)

(wind swooshing)

(ground crackling)

(sticks popping and crackling)

What the hell?

I swear to God.

(sticks popping and crackling)

Hello?

Hey, that's a weird place to take a piss, buddy.

(sticks popping and crackling)

Ugh, that's not weird at all

(sticks popping and rustling)

What you think that was?

Yeah, I think we should get outta here too.

(ground crackling)

What do you got there?

Huh, oh, I'm just trying to see

if the Sennheiser can pick up any

of those strange noises Jeremy was talking about.

- Mm. - Do you wanna hear it?

Wait, wait.

[Jackson] Oh God. That's some scary static.

Okay. Whatever.

[Jackson] Eddie?

Jesus, man. What, what?

[Jackson] You on first watch tonight?

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Well, I'm calling it.

Y'all need anything?

- I don't think so. - No, sir. We're good.

We're all set up.

All right.

- Oh wait, Jeremy? - Yeah?

[Jackson] There was one thing.

Yeah, I was just... What's up with the mannequins?

[Jeremy] Mannequin?

Yeah, I saw one propped up against a tree

when I was settin' up one of the trail cams.

[Jeremy] Hmm. That's Dad.

Excuse me?

[Jackson] Are are you saying your dad is a mannequin?

He would use 'em.

I mean, target practice? He was a hunter?

What kinda game was he hunting?

Some kind, a few years ago, business went under.

They gave 'em to him on the cheap.

Now they're strewn about the property, you know,

just a little bit of fun.

[Eddie] Yeah. Gotcha.

Yeah. Good night.

Help yourself to anything in the fridge, by all means.

[Eddie] I can't sleep.

Aren't you supposed to like

know that already or something?

(Rachel chuckles)

Yeah, but gotta start a conversation somehow.

I'm sure Jackson's told you about why he's

so into all this ghosty stuff.

- Hmm-mm. - Really?

When we were kids, we were in a car accident.

I was in the back, which was where most of the impact was.

And so (clears throat)

I- I died at a

the EMTs were... We have to find Eddie.

They saved my life.

I guess for like weeks after the fact,

I would talk and I'd seen our grandfather.

He took my hand and walked me away from the accident.

Our grandfather had been gone for years at that point,

but him and Jackson were really close.

He thinks one of these times he's gonna be able

to lift the veil, you know,

and like talk to somebody that matters.

But I was four.

I'm sure I was just talking, you know?

(Rachel sighs)

It's still traumatic though.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

So what's your view and all?

Um, I mean,

you saw the security footage just like us.

Old people wander off all the time.

It's not exactly a close encounter.

What about the lights?

You mean flashlights?

Every high schooler had $5 and a mean streak.

We have a paranormal epidemic on our hands.

I don't know.

This Jeremy guy seems pretty shaken up.

I- I have a really weird feeling about him

and I just don't think he's telling us everything.

He's coping, plain and simple.

That's all the stuff really ever turns out to be.

Some people cope in different ways.

[Jackson] Good morning!

Mornin'.

- Mornin'. - Morning.

[Jackson] Good morning.

All right. What's on TV?

"Oprah."

[Jackson] "Oprah." All right. What's going on on "Oprah"?

Well, there's no Pontiac so far.

All right. What's on the agenda today, my darling?

Well, we've got walking into the woods,

looking through the woods,

walking back from the woods.

[Jackson] Oh, okay.

Do you think we're gonna find anything interesting

in all that?

No.

Here, no, arrowheads.

- Arrowheads? - Yeah.

I guess this place was like a trading post or something.

[Jackson] Oh.

Kinda crazy. It's kinda cool.

Hey, have you seen my necklace?

I took it off last night before bed.

I didn't find it this morning.

[Jackson] Do you think anybody...

No.

- Jackson? - Yeah?

Is this okay

for the interview or how do you want it set up?

[Jackson] Uh, lemme show you.

Rachel, it's not in the shot.

Get it within just right here.

All right. Got it, I'm... Can I see it again?

(Rachel and Eddie chuckling)

You look so small holding it. (Laughs)

[Jackson] I bet she feels small too.

All right, action!

It was here, in this very spot that we're standing in now

that Theodore Schmidt was last seen.

He disappeared into the woods without a trace.

[Jackson] You forgot loving father, husband, et cetera.

It was in this very spot that we're standing in now

that Theodore Schmidt was last seen.

Loving father, husband, father.

A sixth-day intensive...

Line?

[Jackson] Okay, action!

Three years ago to this day,

a rescue team aided by local towns folk conducted

a six-day in ten...

- Intensive? - Intensive.

- Search for this man. - Search for this man.

You forgot to mention the agents.

Agents?

Yeah.

[Jackson] Are you telling me the fucking feds were here?

They showed up, took over, cops followed 'em around.

Something about jurisdiction.

Mother Teresa on a holiday.

Are you still speeding?

Dude, take a look at that three.

- That's, uh... - That's a beaut.

We're going on our nature walk.

[Jackson] You guys, did you hear the one about

the wooden whistle?

- No. - No.

What was wrong with the wooden whistle?

You tell me.

Uh, wooden whistle.

- A wooden whistle? - The wooden whistle.

(Eddie laughing)

The wooden whistle. I got you, okay.

[Jackson] Sorry.

It took me a bit. (Laughing)

(sticks popping and crackling)

I don't know, maybe he was just like nervous

or scared to come out.

[Stephanie] Too full of shit most likely.

Come on, easy. He's been through a lot.

[Stephanie] You're buying this?

You're all buying this?

I'd buy it if I could afford it, Stephanie.

All right, look, we are in the hole for a lot

of money right now over this little excursion.

And I don't want a repeat

of that fucking Chupacabra incident.

[Stephanie] More like lack of incident.

(Jackson sighs)

It was a lack of story that was the problem there.

Forget about the mythical rodent for a second.

What we have now is a good story,

so let's go and get that, all right?

Okay. Thanks for holding the camera.

(sticks popping and crackling)

Hold up, didn't Jeremy say there

weren't any roads back here?

[Stephanie] Sensing a pattern yet?

[Eddie] Hm.

(ground crackling)

Hm.

(ground crackling)

Hm, who's that guy?

- Hmm. - Whoa!

(Rachel and Eddie laughing)

[Jackson] Fucker.

(birds chirping)

(ground crackling)

Do they have cougars out here?

[Jackson] Mountain lions, bobcats, lynxes, porcupines,

honey badgers, minks, rattlesnakes,

black bears, brown bears and black widows.

Great.

(ground crackling)

[Jackson] Yeah, but don't worry about it though.

None of those species

like groups of humans, nothing does, what?

What's that?

(ground crackling)

(ominous music)

[Jackson] I think...

Yeah, I've seen this before, yesterday.

[Stephanie] But what is it?

I don't know.

It's gotta be something though, right?

I mean, yeah, assuming it's not just some sort

of property marker or something.

[Jackson] Well, I don't see any pink tape out here.

Besides, that's gotta be a new cut.

It's too fresh.

Oh, shit, guys. The tree expert thinks it's not very old.

Maybe we should get a second opinion on that?

(device clicking)

[Jackson] What's the EMF reader say?

It's not really working out here.

(device crackling) (bushes rustling)

Okay, it's getting dark. We should head back.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Okay.

(crickets croaking) (birds chirping)

All right, so the way that I see it

is we're all on the same plane of existence, okay?

So everybody, everything, you know, humans,

animals, we all have an electric current,

and that's what makes our bodies walk,

talk, think, and breathe.

What about things that go bump in the night?

Things that aren't quite there.

Maybe something stepped into our frequency for a moment,

or maybe we stepped into theirs.

Just think of it as like a handshake between worlds, okay?

Nothing crazy.

It's kind of like think happy thoughts.

We're gonna do the opposite of that.

(light knocks)

My father going missing

isn't the only strange thing that's happened here.

After he vanished,

an intelligence agency took over the case three days in.

After six, they closed it.

To make the process easier,

I moved up here with my wife and my

my son, Ryan,

as we continued the search.

[Jackson] Continue, please.

At first

(bushes rustling) (sticks popping)

[Jackson] At first what?

At first, things were normal,

but something happened to my boy.

I came home from work

and my wife told me that

Ryan had been

hurtin' my dog, Charlotte.

Just beating her.

[Stephanie] Oh my God.

(sighs) We thought it was a phase,

so we-we tried to get him some help but

weekend, I came home to find my wife sobbin'.

Ryan, had...

God, Ryan hung Charlotte

from a tree.

(Jeremy whimpers)

(Jeremy sighs)

Oh, he was different.

I looked in his eyes and I knew he had changed,

the wood changed him.

My wife accused me of doing somethin' to him.

She took him and left.

Left me here.

After they left

is when I first started to hear the noises.

Guys, I got something.

[Stephanie] What?

It's just to nibble but

it's too soon to say.

[Jackson] Do you think your dad is really dead?

Hey, don't.

After all this time, he must be.

[Jackson] Do you blame yourself for

- what happened to your son? - Jackson?

(device crackling and wailing)

I-I think that... Guys, guys, guys, guys,

these EMF readings are off the charts.

You could-you could fry an egg on these.

(device wailing and crackling)

[Jackson] All right, good. Lock it down.

We're not done?

[Jackson] Hey, this was never gonna be easy.

You're gonna have to knuckle down here.

Give it a break.

Enough is enough.

[Jackson] If we stop now,

there'll be no point to any of this.

All right, Eddie, get the spirit box.

The spirit box?

(device beeping and crackling) (items clacking)

Got it?

Okay. Yeah, I think this is good.

Okay, let's go.

All right, so I'm only gonna be able

to maybe understand one word,

maybe a few phrases every once in a while if we're lucky.

I don't know about this.

[Jackson] You brought us here for a reason, didn't you?

(device wailing and crackling)

Trust me.

(device wailing and crackling)

(Eddie inhales and exhales)

Okay. (Clears throat)

(device wailing and crackling)

Um, rope under.

(device wailing and crackling)

[Jackson] Who's out there?

[Eddie] Uh, rock 'n roll.

[Jackson] All right, do you know what we want?

- Yes. - Yes.

(device wailing and crackling)

(spirit chuckling)

[Jackson] Do you know my friend, Jeremy?

- House. - House.

Wood.

[Jackson] Yes, that's right. He lives here.

Do you know who lived here before him?

Do you know Jeremy's father?

[Eddie] Boring.

[Jackson] What's boring?

- You. - You.

[Jackson] Me?

(device wailing and crackling)

Well, I'm sorry. I thought we could be friends.

[Eddie] Haven't made up mind.

[Jackson] So you're saying there's still a chance?

Do you have any friends?

Girl.

[Jackson] You have a girlfriend?

[Eddie] Girl.

[Jackson] Can you please be more specific?

I don't know what you mean.

Steph.

[Rachel] No, fuck.

[Jackson] What about her?

(device wailing and crackling)

Okay, new angle, um.

What about Jeremy's son?

Do you know what happened to him?

[Spirit] Mine.

Mine.

[Jackson] Where is he now?

- Not far. - Where?

(spirits chattering) (device wailing)

What did you do to him?

[Jackson] Hey, take it easy.

Take me to him!

Take me to him!

[Jackson] Hey, hey.

(spirits speaking indistinctly)

Played games.

Games and gifts.

[Jackson] Can we play?

[Spirit] Take off.

Take off.

Take off what?

- Watch. - Watch.

(bushes rustling) (device beeping)

[Jackson] My wrist watch?

The stump.

I think it wants you to put your watch on the stump.

(device beeping)

[Jackson] All right, I'll bite.

(device beeping)

I don't like this.

[Jackson] It'll be fine.

I dunno. It's kinda fun.

(device beeping and crackling)

Chupacabra, eat your heart out.

(device beeping and crackling)

- Turn around. - Turn around.

[Jackson] Okay.

[Eddie] Everyone.

(device beeping and crackling) (ground crackling)

(clears throat)

(device beeping and crackling) (clears throat)

Camera.

(clicks tongue) Shit.

(device beeping and crackling) (Jackson sighs)

Bingo.

[Rachel] I think we're good.

(ground crackling)

[Jackson] Oh shit.

[Stephanie] Shit on a hot fudge sundae.

(device beeping and crackling)

- Good trade. - Good trade.

[Jackson] Good trade... Uh, yeah?

Yeah. That's a good trade. (Chuckles)

- I guess so. - Yeah.

Trade Stephanie.

[Jackson] What?

[Stephanie] What?

(ground crackling) (device beeping and crackling)

(spirit laughing)

(Eddie screams) (device sizzling)

Rachel, Rachel, Rachel?

Yeah.

(Eddie groans)

Signal's gone, that's curtains, ladies and gentlemen.

[Stephanie] Okay, okay, okay, what do we do?

What do we do?

[Jackson] Phew, all right.

Jeremy. Man, that was marvelous.

Can you believe we got all that on camera? Hey.

Don't touch me, God damn it!

I- I need to

I need to think.

[Jackson] Okay, man.

Okay, I am freaking the fuck out. This shit is too much.

[Jackson] Okay, hey, this shit is exactly

what we came here for.

Did he tell you he had a kid?

[Jackson] What, oh, is that your takeaway

from all of this?

I mean, I mean, for once,

can you see the bigger picture here?

We just got irrefutable evidence

of the paranormal right here on this camera.

This isn't about us.

This is only about you.

And I'm done.

Enjoy the couch tonight, Jackson.

(water pattering)

What the fuck happened?

We're splitting the couch tonight.

(ominous music)

(screen crackles)

Well, guys, look where I just woke up.

Yeah, and I thought the couch was bad.

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah,

I should put the lantern-all right, guys.

Look where I just woke up.

Yeah, and you thought the couch was bad.

(frogs croaking)

Thank God for the frogs.

Fucking the best alarm clock.

Steph's gonna think I cheated on her with a frog.

Oh, yeah. Civilization at last.

(frogs croaking)

Now which way do I go?

Usual suspects, Eddie and Rachel.

Oh, when I get back, oh shit,

I've got the most embarrassing footage you can imagine.

Oh, yeah, that shit's going on the big screen.

Big screen for Mind Freak, Criss Angel Mind Freak motherf

Oh, look at this stick. Fuckin' terrifying.

Wow, better run away from that shit.

No, they're gonna run away from me.

I'm gonna be the scariest thing in this documentary.

Chupacabra can eat my

The thing about that car crash back in...

(frogs croaking)

(stick crackling and popping)

(tape crackling)

Shit, shit.

(sticks popping)

(frogs croaking)

Hello?

(frogs croaking)

(frogs continue croaking)

(frogs continue croaking)

(camera clacking)

Oh, boy. Hey, hey, hey!

Fuck!

(ground crackling) (frogs croaking)

(feet clacking)

So there's a whole lot of nothing until around 12:00.

Then you see this.

Sleepwalking?

No way.

[Jackson] Camera doesn't lie, does it?

When have you ever been a sleep walker?

There is a first time for everything. Hey, move over.

That's not even the best part.

Wait, wait, go back.

Yeah, what's that?

What the fuck is that?

[Rachel] Hold, zoom in.

(keyboard typing)

Is that... Is that...

Okay, so bath water gets a little warm

and baby wants to pull the plug, huh?

Are you fucking high?

Okay, admittedly a bit of spooky shit,

but that's why we're here, right?

Or am I wrong?

Jack, that looked exactly like you.

How do you explain that?

If I could explain it to you,

we'd pack our shit up and leave right now.

This is a legitimate encounter. This is huge.

What about me?

This shit gives me the creeps.

I want to go home.

We can't go home. This is the closest we've ever been.

(door thuds)

[Rachel] You looking for something?

[Jackson] My lens cap.

Can't remember where I put the damn thing.

I didn't realize you carried one.

I thought you liked to shoot au naturel.

[Jackson] I might have to now.

Did you check your back pockets?

Mm, yeah, everything except the prison pocket.

I'll get to that.

Guys, guys, come check this out!

(feet clacking)

Over here.

[Jackson] All right, what's up?

Take a look.

It's like some sort of crawl space or something?

Yeah, it looks like it, but here.

It's covered by this board and...

[Jackson] Uh.

[Stephanie] Oh my God.

Yeah. You got any kind of read on that?

I don't know, man, but I don't like it.

(board knocks)

[Jackson] Well, I think someone's gotta go down there.

No way. No way.

Hell no.

[Jackson] Here, take this.

Why do I always have to do this shit?

[Jackson] You just have a quick look.

See what you can find.

I got a feeling there's something down there.

(clip clicks)

- Good. - Yeah.

Here I go.

[Jackson] Thanks, babe.

(helmet rattling) (Eddie groaning)

[Eddie] This is stupid.

(birds chirping)

(vehicle humming and whirring)

(helmet rattling) (ground crackling)

(birds chirping)

(door thuds) (birds chirping)

(ground crackling) (helmet rattling)

Yo, I found something.

[Jackson] Eddie, what do you see?

[Rachel] Eddie?

[Eddie] I dunno. It's like a book.

(spirit speaking gibberish)

(helmet rattling)

Hello?

(spirit speaking indistinctly)

(birds chirping)

[Stephanie] Eddie, do you need help?

(Eddie groans)

[Eddie] Hello?

Oh, shit. Get me out!

Get me outta here! Get me out! (Whines)

Shit, shit, pull me out, pull me out, pull me out!

- Pull me out! - What happened? Are you okay?

What the fuck? I don't know, there's

- What's in there? - Something down there.

- What... - What's that?

I don't know, man. It's some book.

Some book I found.

- Okay. - Hey!

What are you doing?

[Jackson] Oh, we were just getting footage.

Were you digging under there?

No, we're just-just looking to see

Hey, don't go under my house, ever.

- Okay. - You got that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

For sure.

[Stephanie] Uh, booms' in the shot, Rache.

[Rachel] Oh, sorry.

At first blush, you'll notice this mark.

The same as a symbol that we've been seeing carved

into the trees around the property.

It seems connected to whatever paranormal phenomenon

that is assailing this place.

For those of you watching at home,

you should know that nobody in the crew,

myself included, has yet opened or read this.

One thing that's certain

is that this is some sort of journal.

However, its pages are waterlogged

and much of the ink has bled through.

I'm hoping we can find something legible.

All right, I think I found something,

"After all my attempts at congre

communication, my efforts have been rewarded.

However, my success

brings me no joy.

I fear she is not

"who she says she is."

[Rachel] She?

I don't know, um,

the next passage is too far gone

for me to make anything out.

Let's go forward another couple of pages.

"I am in hell."

I hear her song

coming from the woods at night.

There is no path

back from here.

"Yesterday, there"

(door thuds)

[Jeremy] Jackson?

We found this underneath the house,

and I thought it would help us figure out what's going on.

[Jeremy] You should've told me about this.

Well, I'm telling you right now.

If it's anything personal, we-we can cut it out.

I- I think it belonged to your father.

Do you know what this means?

(feet thumping)

(door thuds)

(Jackson sighs)

All right, cut.

[Stephanie] What's he doing?

[Jackson] Well, he sure as shit

isn't watering his flowers.

[Stephanie] Oh my God.

[Jackson] Oh shit, he's gonna burn it.

- Wait, wait, wait. - Oh shit.

- Oh my God. That's insane. - No, no, no, no, Jeremy!

(Jeremy screaming)

- Rachel? - Lemme die!

- No, Jeremy! - Lemme die!

- Stop, stop, stop. - Oh god!

- Purge me! - Stop!

She's laughing at us!

She's laughing at all of us!

Jeremy, stop.

(Jeremy crying and whimpering)

Shit, man.

(Eddie sighs) (Jeremy whimpering)

Fuck, dude!

(Jeremy panting)

(water spraying and pattering)

[Eddie] Nobody disappeared. (speaking indistinctly)

[Jackson] Guys, there's something wrong with this dude.

- No shit! - Oh yeah?

(lighter clacks)

How is he?

He's sleeping. I don't know how, but he's sleeping.

Okay, um, I think it's time we start asking

some hard questions here, guys.

Isn't that what we've been doing,

asking the hard questions?

No, Jack, we're talking about

someone's mental health here, okay?

This is... This is not journalism

anymore, okay, I don't know what this is.

Okay, if no one else is gonna say it, I will.

I think we should talk about aborting.

A-fucking-men and hallelujah.

- Okay. - No.

(Stephanie chuckles)

No chance.

Well, while we're at it,

we can talk about some new leadership roles as well.

All right. Lemme get this straight.

We're in the middle

of the greatest discovery of this century,

and you yellow fucks are trying to pull the plug right now?

Like this whole conversation is ridiculous.

Where's the line, Jackson?

What happens if we can't come back anymore?

I think we may have already crossed that.

All right, as far as I'm concerned,

I'm gonna see this project to the end,

even if I have to strongman this entire production.

To what end, Jack? To what end?

The finish line, Rachel.

I think that'll work for us.

(Stephanie chuckles)

What about you?

Do you have anything to contribute

or help out around the conversation?

You're kidding, right? I

(ceiling thuds)

What was that?

Did you... Shush.

Shut up. Just listen.

(ceiling knocking) (Stephanie gasps)

There's something on the roof.

- What do we do? - Outside now!

(feet clacking)

Not-not you, Steph.

I'll be right back. Hey, just listen, okay?

Stay.

[Jackson] Shit, I can't see anything.

Eddie, you got your light?

[Eddie] One second.

(feet clacking)

All right, where is it? Where is it?

[Jackson] It's still on the roof. Keep going.

(Stephanie gasps)

Yo, chimney, chimney! - What is that? What is that?

(group clamoring)

What is it? Where is it?

- Stop! - Jackson, where you going?

[Jackson] Turn on the fucking light!

- I'm trying! - Hit it harder, god damn it.

- Shut up, Jackson! - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Ah, shit, come on!

[Eddie] Do you see it?

[Jackson] No, I don't see it!

[Rachel] Oh my god. Ah!

(crowd clamoring)

Oh my fucking god!

[Jackson] God, we gotta-all right, we gotta

- It's time to go. - It's time to fucking go.

(keys rattling)

(doors clicking)

(door thuds) (keys rattling)

(feet clacking)

(drawer scratches) (items crash)

[Jackson] Yo, Steph, you would not believe.

Some sort of freak on the roof. (Panting)

Stephanie? (Panting)

Stephanie, we gotta get outta here.

(door thuds)

[Eddie] Wait, what-what's going on?

I don't-I don't know.

It won't fucking-it won't fucking start.

Look, look, okay, lemme try. Lemme try, lemme try.

Shit, shit, shit.

Keys, keys, keys, keys, keys, here, here.

Shit.

(keys rattling)

No, no, fuck!

[Jackson] Ah, Jeremy?

Hey?

Oh, shit!

(Jackson panting)

Okay. Okay.

(keys rattling)

(trunk clacking)

Lemme see, lemme see, lemme see.

- Oh my God. - What's wrong with it?

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

Stephanie?

(feet clacking)

Stephanie?

(door thuds)

(ladder crashes) (Jackson panting)

(tool clanging)

Steph? (Pants)

It's locked, god. Keys.

Okay, okay, okay.

Somebody sabotaged the car!

[Jackson] Where are you going?

To get Jeremy's car?

We're gonna take his car and go.

- Hello? - What? Jeremy's gone.

- What? - Who cares?

Where the hell is Stephanie?

I-I thought she was with you.

What do you mean, what happened?

I-I came in to get a light

for the camera and she wasn't here.

What-what are you doing?

I'm going to get her.

With that thing out there?

- No, no, no. - The trees are down.

- What? - The cops are saying

that there's trees blocking the road.

They can't get here until they clear it.

- What? - I, I, um,

okay, okay, okay.

This fucker has to have spare keys somewhere.

I can't stay here. She couldn't have gone far in the dark.

(Rachel panting)

No.

(feet thumping)

Jackson, Jackson, your knife!

God damn it. (Panting)

(feet thumping and clacking)

[Jackson] Stephanie!

[Rachel] Jackson, hold up.

- What are you doing? - Your knife.

[Jackson] Keep it.

Stephanie!

(ground crackling)

Steph!

(ground crackling)

Stephanie? (Sighs)She's gonna freeze out here.

Okay, Jackson, we'll find her.

(ground crackling)

[Jackson] What is that?

[Rachel] Shit, I heard it too.

[Jackson] Stephanie?

Sh. (Panting)

(creature chattering)

(ground crackling)

[Jackson] (screams) Shit!

(leaves rustling)

[Rachel] What was that?

(leaves crunching)

[Eddie] Rachel? (Radio crackles)

- Rachel, can you hear me? - Yeah. Yeah.

I'm here with Jackson.

Yeah. I can't find the keys, but I see Stephanie.

Stephanie, yeah, I see her.

She's at the swings. Get back now.

[Jackson] Stephanie!

(feet thudding)

[Rachel] Stephanie?

[Jackson] Hold this.

Hey.

[Rachel] Oh my God.

You okay? Are you hurt?

We gotta go now.

Come on. (Panting) I'm so sorry.

(feet thumping)

Okay. Okay.

[Eddie] What's-what's going on? What's going on?

[Rachel] I don't know. I-I think she's in shock.

You all right?

[Eddie] Is-is she hurt?

- You okay, babe. - What-what

Gimme a wet... Wait, is she-what happened?

I don't know, Eddie.

(Jackson panting)

Okay, I just don't understand what's going

- Eddie, please, Eddie. - What?

Turn off the fucking camera.

Okay. What are we looking at here?

I mean, like, what are our options?

Cars are fucked.

Cops still have to clear the road of the trees.

Few hours minimum.

Okay, okay, so we hike out.

In the dark?

Yeah, I mean, we find the road and then we just go

Whoa. What, what do you mean? What...

Hike, do you think she could even walk like this?

Okay, Eddie, Eddie and I can go.

We'll go and we'll find people

and we'll come back and... Rache?

I think Jackson's right, okay?

We're 50 miles from the nearest town

and there's that fucking psycho running around out there.

Yeah, exactly, and-and Jeremy's out there.

Who gives a shit?

What about him, Rache?

For all we know, he sabotaged the fucking cars,

and he's probably behind all this shit.

Okay, so what do we do?

We just sit here?

We just sit here and wait for the cops?

(screen crackling)

(spirit humming) (ominous music)

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie?

Eddie, Eddie?

(door squeaks) (feet clacking)

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, hey, hey, hey,

Ah, Eddie, Eddie, come back!

(feet thumping) (Rachel whimpers)

Jack, wake up! (Whimpers)

Eddie's out there. Come, help me.

(feet clacking)

Okay, (pants) I gotta go.

Come on, come on, let's go, let's go.

- What's going on? - Let's go.

Eddie's in the woods. Okay?

I don't know what happened.

He was walking and he just kept moving

and it was like, I tried started to stop him

- Stephanie, hey! - Let's-let's go.

- Come on. - No.

- What're you doing? - Hey, look at me!

- No! - I can't afford

to lose anyone else right now.

Hey, I can't afford to lose you.

I need you to help me, okay?

(Rachel whimpering)

I need you to go inside and watch the monitors

and watch my back.

Hey, I fucked this up.

I need you to help me fix this, all right?

Can you help me?

(Rachel whimpers)

- Okay. - Okay.

Watch the screens.

(Rachel whimpers)

Go!

[Jackson] Black hair. Uh, smokes cigarettes.

Can you tell us where he is?

[Spirit] A friend?

[Jackson] Yes. Yes, he's a friend.

Can you take us to him?
