Fear the Woods (2017) s01e11 Episode Script
The Hunters and the Hunted
The vast
North American wilderness
is home to evil forces
thought only to exist
in nightmares,
but the terrible creatures
that roam here are all too real.
In the darkest, most dreadful
part of the forest
dwell those that hunt
and those that are hunted.
That thing was close enough
that you could smell it.
Run!
It approached the tent.
It did feel like a horror movie.
We both just stared
at each other.
- There's
- Ah!
There's someone here!
We need to go now!
This was one of
my greatest fears.
Go, go, go, go, go!
"I'm dead. I'm dead.
This thing has got me.
I'm dead."
Forests, like this one
in Washington state,
are an ideal place
to go hunting,
but you never know
what you might run into.
You always want to be prepared.
If you're heading into
unknown territory,
you have no idea
what's about to happen.
You have no idea what
you're going to encounter.
It's likely that you're going
to come across something
that isn't happy
that you're there.
All of us, as we grew up,
we've heard the fairy tales
of the troll under the bridge
and the bogeyman,
so even as kids, you know,
we've heard about monsters.
They live in the woods,
and the woods are a scary place.
Scott Taylor
and his girlfriend, Barbara,
think today is the perfect day
for a deer-hunting expedition.
I was raised
in northwest Oregon,
an outdoors-type of lifestyle,
hunting, fishing, hiking,
just enjoying being outdoors
all the time.
Oh, yeah.
I'll get this for you.
Don't you worry.
But Scott already has
a sense that today
might not to be
a typical trip into the wild.
I don't like the look
of this weather.
Well, would you rather
be at home,
I don't know, doing laundry?
Let's go.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
I learned to respect
the Pacific Northwest forest
because it can kill you
pretty quick.
Don't take anything for granted.
If you're not prepared, and you
don't keep your wits about you,
if you take some chances,
it might not turn out
too well for you.
So you have to be very careful
and have your head in the game.
As they venture deep
into the woods,
Scott finds the surroundings
oddly silent.
Just a little quiet.
Well, I don't know about that.
You're making a bit of noise.
It's getting thick.
Well, don't be so slow.
He is right to be apprehensive.
Will you hurry up?
Did you hear that?
No.
I didn't hear anything.
Come on.
Let's go.
It's like that weird vibe of,
"I shouldn't be here.
I'm not comfortable here.
I need to leave."
After hiking for an hour,
the couple arrives
at a hunting blind.
We had hiked out
about a mile and a half
and then found this nice place
to sit where we could see.
And, you know, settled in
to just watch the area
and see what might turn up.
Perhaps it's better that they
don't know what's out there.
Scott and Barb wait
for game to appear,
but the forest is
eerily devoid of life today.
Yeah, I'd been there
probably six times before,
and I never experienced anything
other than just
a benign day of sitting
and watching for any deer
to move around.
We can stay 15 more if you want.
No.
I guess it's not our lucky day.
Typically, when there's
a larger creature in the area,
the smaller animals
will disperse.
Yeah, let's go.
Did you hear that?
Oh, my God.
No.
You think you're out here
by yourself,
and then you hear this noise,
and you're like,
"What was that? Was that a bear?
Was that a wolf?"
You know
- Did you see that?
It definitely can make the hair
on the back of your neck
stand up.
Oh, come on.
Let's go.
When you look at the idea of
other creatures in the area,
some of them
have different traits.
Some will follow.
Some will observe.
Some will engage.
They know their territory.
They know where you are,
and that's really dangerous.
As they journey
ever deeper in search of game,
they come across something
very bizarre.
Babe, wait a second.
I noticed to my left there were
a couple of piles of stones
on top of each other.
What?
And I thought,
"That's very curious.
Who would have time to waste
just stacking stones up?"
So some animal made
a pile of rocks.
So what?
No animal did this.
The stones were probably
about the size
of the palm of your hand.
There was about three in each
little pile stacked up,
just balanced.
The fact that the creature
is intentionally placing rocks
in a systematic way
indicates some sort of
intelligence in this being.
Okay, some kids, then.
So there's a purpose for it.
They may be marking.
They may be burying something.
- Don't!
- Don't?
Don't what?
By disturbing
the rock structure,
Scott and Barb
have just provoked
something they shouldn't have.
We should go.
I never experienced
anything like this before.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
We should go.
Ah!
- We got to get out of here!
A lot of people
see the monsters,
but they just don't want
to talk about it.
I think people are hardwired
to be afraid of them.
Did you hear that?
No.
I didn't hear anything.
Out for a day of hunting,
Scott Taylor and his girlfriend,
Barbara,
stumble upon something
Scott wishes they hadn't
Babe, wait a second.
What?
A strange rock structure.
It looked definitely
out of place.
It wasn't something that
could happen naturally.
Somebody had to put them there.
So some animal made
a pile of rocks.
So what?
No animal did this.
Okay, some kids, then.
Barb, don't!
Don't?
Don't what?
If you disturb something
that is important to them,
that would be the equivalent
of going onto
an ancient burial ground
and start digging
without permission.
You would offend.
You would upset.
That's when this creature
started vocalizing.
It was an amazingly loud,
whooping,
whoo-hoo kind of sound.
A common thing is that
people say they hear whooping,
and no one really knows
what exactly it means,
but the common thought
is that it's a communication.
My mind just started clicking
through all the animals
that I know that are out there
that make sounds.
There was nothing that matched.
We should go.
Let's go.
- Yeah, we should go.
Scott and Barb don't know
what beast they've disturbed,
but they know
they've made it very angry,
and the hunters
are now the hunted.
Oh, my God!
I could tell there was
something there,
and it was moving,
and it was big.
You could hear the sticks pop.
As they rush
to get out of there,
Scott catches a terrifying
glimpse of the creature.
I mean, you couldn't see
any real features
other than it was
a great, big blob.
It was just very, very large,
but I had nothing
to really gauge its size to.
The more they run to escape
the monster,
the deeper they are drawn
into its stalking grounds.
Ah!
You okay?
You okay?
Come on.
We got to get out of here.
McLERAN:
And when people hear that noise,
and they hear it crashing
through the woods,
that definitely adds
to the fear factor
that's involved
with the sighting.
She was terrified.
- Oh.
- Oh, sorry, sorry.
Look!
What the hell is this place?
Come on.
Let's go.
Oh, my God!
Run!
- Run!
- Oh, my God!
- Go!
Wait, wait.
Are we lost?
Babe.
And that's where
we saw a creature.
Oh, my God.
And Barb kind of gasped
and exclaimed, you know,
"What the, you know,
bleep, is that?"
It stands up,
and it's on two legs,
and it has a human-looking face
and is, like, five times bigger
than a black bear.
Then you realize
what you're really seeing.
Oh, my God.
Suddenly, it clicked.
The thing that was there,
that's a Sasquatch.
Scott!
A Bigfoot encounter can happen
to anyone at any time.
Eyewitness sightings,
there's thousands of sightings
that exist
and have been documented.
The idea that there's
that kind of a creature
that suddenly came out of myth
and became real,
that was the big epiphany.
Run!
- Ah!
And now this hunter of legend
seeks Scott and Barb
for his prey.
Run! Run!
The couple faces
a terrible dilemma.
If they can't outrun Bigfoot,
they will have to confront him,
but are their weapons enough?
The rifle I was using
is a deer rifle.
It's not very big.
If something is as big
as that thing is,
that rifle probably wouldn't
have done a whole lot
before it could get to me.
What are we going to do?
The moment of truth
is upon them.
Scott and Barb
ventured into the woods
for a leisurely hunting trip
only to find themselves the ones
being hunted
by the legendary Bigfoot.
When you realize
that they're real,
and you get a feel
for how big they are
and how helpless we are,
it sure puts things into
a different perspective.
The sheer size of the creature
is enough to intimidate
even the biggest of people.
We're talking about a creature
that crosses your path
that is 8 feet tall
and 600 pounds.
You see that, and you realize,
"Wow, this creature could do
anything it wants to me,
and there's nothing
I could do to stop it."
Now they are about to
be set upon by the angry beast
and are in desperate fear
for their lives.
But Scott worries that
shooting the beast
will only make things worse.
Don't.
And she saw the look in my eyes,
which actually made her
even more afraid and upset,
and it was like
Don't!
It won't work!
A rifle bullet, .22 caliber,
anything like that,
is not going to penetrate or
not going to cause any damage.
You would have to bring
something more
than the conventional weapon
to defend yourself,
but if you have to do that,
you probably shouldn't be there
in the first place.
They decide a better option
is to make another run for it.
Okay. Okay.
We're going to go.
We're going to go fast,
and we're going to go quiet.
You ready?
Go.
"I'm dead. I'm dead.
This thing has got me.
I'm dead."
Run!
That thing was following
and was close enough
that you could smell it.
Help! I'm lost!
There are instances where
Bigfoot has acted out,
chased people out of
their neck of the woods.
The couple hightails
it to their truck
as fast as they can
with Bigfoot on their heels.
Go, go, go!
They lock themselves
in their truck,
but escape is not that easy.
Typically, you find this more
with hunters that are armed.
They manage to get away,
but their terrifying encounter
with the legendary beast
in the woods
Run!
Has altered Scott's
and Barb's experience
with the great outdoors forever.
Barbara, she's never
gone camping since then.
That's how it affected her,
and that's 12 years ago.
And at the same time,
I don't ever want
to go out there
without my Marlin .45-70
loaded with hot loads.
I'm never coming out here again
unless I have the biggest gun
I own with me.
I think that's a perfectly
natural reaction
to have to these things,
and I've heard other people
say the same thing.
Whenever you go into nature,
all manner
of blood-curdling predators
may be lurking
and lying in wait.
As Alexa and Meredith
are about to find out,
not all of
these malevolent beings
are supernatural in origin.
In fact, the most dangerous
could look exactly like we do.
We decided to go
on this road trip
really to get to know ourselves
and to sort of enjoy nature.
Instead, we found
absolute horror
and just complete fear
for our lives.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
This part of west Virginia
richly rewards travelers
with a wealth of scenic beauty.
Having started out
from Portland, Maine,
the young women
find themselves passing
through in the early days
of their adventure.
I figured a road trip
would be fun,
and I've always wanted
to go out West.
She said she wanted to go
on a trip out to New Mexico,
and I agreed to it.
All that, like, Girl Scout
training that we did
when we were kids,
we're going to be okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Virginia was just sort of
on that path,
and I'd heard that there was
some pretty amazing camping
out there,
and it's very beautiful.
Camping was what
we really wanted to do.
We had both had
experience camping,
so we felt
pretty comfortable doing it.
My boyfriend knew
that I was camping,
didn't know exactly where.
We didn't really think that
it was necessary to tell people
exactly where
we were going to be.
But perhaps they should have.
The first sign that their trip
might be headed
in the wrong direction
occurs when they pull into
a local gas station
looking to choose
a campground for the night.
So, White Rocks campground
we found on a list
of the national parks in
the national park camping spots.
There were a few in the area.
We chose it simply
because it was close
to where we were
getting off the interstate.
The name sounded
kind of appealing.
What about this?
It's close-ish.
I don't know.
It could be gross.
When they talk with the locals,
things go a little off.
Let's ask him.
Excuse me.
We didn't know anything
about any of the campsites,
so it was really just, you know,
point your finger and pick one.
Hey, do you know this place?
Sure.
We met a few people
from the area,
and we had told them
that we were going to be camping
when they asked
what we were doing.
Is it any good?
Compared to what?
It's about 20 miles from here,
right?
You girls camping together?
What gave it away,
the camping gear
or the camping pamphlet
I'm asking about?
You girls should be careful.
People can be weird down here.
We were in a brand-new state,
brand-new area,
so, like, we're both
a little, like, nervous.
Come on, Alexa.
Let's go.
And they might have
reason to be.
It was also kind of, like, oh,
a little taken aback a bit.
Typically, in a small town,
strangers tend to stand out.
There may be predators who look
for that kind of stuff.
If you happen to be
in a situation
where you're staying
in someone else's territory,
it's not a good idea
to tell them that you're alone.
It's not a good idea to tell
them where you're going.
We just kept expecting to hear,
you know, that banjo music
in the background.
Because if they don't
want you to be there,
and they know that you're alone,
they know where you are,
that's giving them all the tools
they need to hurt you.
We were in the middle
of nowhere.
We say one house on the left
when we first pulled
onto the road
and then didn't see
anything else.
The farther
along the path the women drive,
the creepier it gets.
It did feel like
driving into a horror movie.
It felt like
"The Blair Witch Project,"
and that was one thing
I kept thinking about, was,
"I feel like those kids
driving in the mountains,
getting out of their car
and going into the woods
with something."
As they get closer
to their final destination,
things don't improve.
I just remember at one point
looking and seeing these men
standing around
a burning trash can,
just kind of very eerily
looking up at us
as if we were in a horror movie.
What do you think
this guy is doing?
Hobo?
It made me a little bit
uncomfortable to see them.
My parents and friends
and boyfriend
told me to be careful
and to follow my gut instinct,
and if something didn't feel
right to turn around,
and things weren't feeling
that right,
but I thought
it was all in my head.
It made me more uncomfortable
that they were just burning
random stuff,
and at this point,
it could've been anything,
so it was definitely a little
nerve-racking to see them.
These young women
are starting to feel
that coming out here
was a bad idea.
- Oh, my God!
- Oh!
Everyone should listen
to their instincts.
Fear is a warning sign.
If something is telling you
to go back or not to be there,
it's probably best
that you listen to it.
Alexa and Meredith
are heading out
to go camping
on the road trip of a lifetime.
But the deeper into the woods
they go,
the more their sense
of foreboding grows.
You girls camping together?
Come on.
Let's go, Alexa.
There was no one thing
that I could pinpoint
as the reason
for my nervousness.
I've never felt that anxious.
It did feel like
driving into a horror movie.
Now, along the home stretch
to where they intend to camp
for the night,
things take an even darker turn.
So, when we were first driving
into the campground,
about halfway down the road,
we notice a truck behind us.
I just remember feeling
a bit uncomfortable by it.
It was just very strange to me
seeing as how there was
nobody else on the road.
What's with this yahoo?
It was just on the road with us.
It was behind us
for a few miles.
It looks like the same truck
they saw at the gas station,
and they wonder if they
are being followed
by the men they encountered,
and if so,
what do they want with them?
A lot of people look forward
to playing with
or toying with non-locals.
I kind of pushed
that out of my mind.
I just didn't want
to freak myself out.
But they are freaking out
until the truck veers off
as suddenly
as it first appeared.
They eventually turned down
another road, and that was it.
And I remember thinking,
"Where is that truck going,
and what are they doing?"
There was absolutely nothing
out there.
The girls hope
they will feel safer
when they are surrounded
by other campers,
but they learn that's not
going to be the case.
We drove around the campsite
to see if we saw anybody else,
and there was nobody,
so we just picked a spot.
When we saw that the campsite
was completely abandoned,
my anxiety grew a bit.
It was very creepy.
Any relief that I was feeling
to be off the road
was sort of taken over
by that nerve-racking feeling.
So we just looked around,
listened.
It was very quiet.
I guess it's not very popular.
Obviously.
It looks like a graveyard.
And I was thinking like,
"All right.
I kind of do want
to get a motel."
Maybe we should go
someplace else.
That'll be an hour
or two on the road.
It'll be pitch-black by then.
And saw how low the sun was,
and it was one of these things
where we sort of looked
at each other and said,
"Well, we either
have to set up camp right now,
or we're going to have to
turn around and be on the road
for another at least half-hour
to find another place to stay."
Well, then, I guess
we don't have a choice.
We decided to stay
and set up camp
just because
it was getting so dark.
Let's do it, then.
We got out of the car.
So we decided to just
power through it.
It felt like
the minute we parked
and started unpacking the tent
that we were being watched.
I'm pretty familiar
with the woods
and comfortable with
being out in the woods,
but it was something very
unsettling about where we were.
So she's setting up the tent,
and I'm getting the firewood.
And we would both separately
stop what we were doing
and just listen and look around.
I was focused on
setting up the tent,
and I just had this
feeling behind me
that there was something there,
and it was such an awful feeling
that I had never felt before.
I felt like I was being watched
pretty much the entire time.
I felt the need to constantly
stop what I was doing
and sort of turn in a circle
and survey my surroundings.
But we just kept trucking
through it, just like,
"You know, we're already here.
We've got this."
When you're along out there,
you could be a sitting target.
If I was in their shoes,
you know, I would've packed up,
and I would've gone.
Adding to
the increasing sense of unease,
their phones don't work.
- Hey, Mer?
- Yeah?
Do you have reception?
No.
So we're in the middle of
the mountains of West Virginia
with no cell service
at this campsite,
and it's about to get dark.
You better get that tent set up
before it gets too dark.
It was very uncomfortable
to know that
if I needed to call anybody,
I couldn't and that
there was going to be no one
who knew where we were.
Meredith and Alexa truly hope
they are alone in the forest,
but they get the ever-growing
sense that they are not.
What was that?
Sometimes camping alone
in the woods is a bad idea.
Meredith and Alexa have embarked
on a cross-country road trip
that so far
hasn't gone as planned,
and now,
miles from civilization,
they have
an overpowering feeling
that they are being stalked.
We're in the middle of
the mountains of west Virginia,
and it's about to get dark.
If I needed to call anybody,
I couldn't.
If something were to happen,
no one would be
able to find you.
So when we first got
the campfire lit,
we hoped that it was
going to make us feel better.
The intention was that
it was going to calm us down
and provide some light
and let us see a bit
more into the woods.
The woods were so thick that
even a pretty
decent-sized campfire
couldn't penetrate all the way.
What is it?
But all the fire does
is make the woods
seem even more terrifying.
I thought I heard something.
I would turn my lamp
on every now and then
to kind of look
around the trees.
What is it?
What do you see?
I had the feeling,
since we pulled in there,
we were being watched.
Alexa?
I had never felt
that feeling before.
It was just a strange feeling.
So I would look around the trees
thinking I'll see something.
I don't know, really, why I felt
like I had to do that.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Just being silly.
I'd see shadows,
but with the light source,
it's always hard to tell.
I've never been in a place
where the woods were so thick.
Look, Al, the place
is surrounded by dry leaves.
All right?
No one is sneaking up on us.
It's okay.
- Yeah, I know.
To calm themselves,
the girls delve into
an ancient game
by the fire.
Alexa and I are both
very familiar with tarot.
It's something that
we've always done
as a sort of meditative thing.
Hey, want me to
read your future?
Not really.
Aw, come on.
It'll help pass the time.
Sure. Whatever.
We figured that
if we pulled cards,
it would sort of help us realize
that things weren't as bad
as we thought they were.
Moon card.
So I pulled the Moon card,
and that spoke a lot
about facing your deepest
subconscious fears.
And it just made me
very uncomfortable.
Of course,
alone in the woods at night
is a perfect place for
subconscious fears to run wild.
And if the Moon card
wasn't unnerving enough,
the next one chills
both women's blood
Death.
It was a very intense card
to read at the time,
and the minute I started
looking at the card
and thinking about
what it meant,
it just made the fear
so much worse.
So you have to imagine
if they're using tarot cards,
they already believe in a higher
power or supernatural presence.
If they're getting
negative cards
that suggest that there's
something evil out there,
it's already in their minds.
I was here facing
complete uncertainty
and complete isolation
from anybody who could help us.
I hadn't been trusting
my intuition at all.
If I had, I probably
would've realized
that my anxiety was going
to lead us into a bad place.
It was completely
still in the woods.
There were no animal sounds
whatsoever,
no wind, no nothing.
Okay.
I think we need to calm down.
Let's just call it a night and
leave here tomorrow super early.
The fact that we didn't
tell anybody
specifically where we were
really started to set in
when we realized
that we might not
even have the chance to do that,
and that if anything happened,
absolutely nobody would know
where to even look to find us.
Yeah, okay.
Sounds good to me.
What are you doing?
- Grabbing this.
I found it unnerving that
I had to have the knife.
I didn't feel comfortable
going to bed without it,
but I felt like it was
a good idea to have it.
But the thin walls
of a polyester tent
aren't enough to keep them safe,
whether they're armed or not.
And inside the tent,
their paranoia grows along
with their desperation
to connection with civilization.
I tried to call my boyfriend
just to see
if maybe I could
get through to him.
I thought that
it would really comfort me
if I could just
tell him where I was.
I pressed send on the phone,
and it just said,
"Calling, calling, calling,"
and then never connected.
We're in the middle of nowhere,
and our phones aren't working.
And that was a very intimidating
thing to realize that,
no matter what,
we still couldn't call anybody.
Pretty much immediately
after the phone said,
"No service,"
we heard footsteps.
- What was that?
- I don't know.
It was one step of footsteps,
very metered, heavy boots.
It was exactly like the
sound that my boots had made,
except louder and heavier.
By now, the paranoia
is probably at its maximum.
I can imagine
two vulnerable people
alone in the dark feeding off
of each other's paranoia
could be very scary.
Oh, my God.
It approached the tent,
and we both turned
and just stared at each other.
We were looking at each other.
It was almost like we were
both thinking the same thing.
The fact that there was
nobody else around
It wasn't like we were
at a campsite
where there are people
walking around.
It just came out of nowhere.
Oh, my God.
They're getting closer,
so what do I do?
Meredith decides to
take control of the situation.
She moved pretty fast.
Really, she did.
She grabbed that knife,
grabbed her lamp,
and then exited the tent.
One of them could make a mistake
that could end up
hurting the other.
There was a very intense moment
where I realized that it was
actually us being watched.
It really reinforced
my feelings of fear.
Mer?
- It was just this very
- Mer?
Sudden feeling of a need
to protect myself
and my best friend
and our lives.
Meredith?
She may not be able to
see who or what is out there,
but Meredith can feel it,
and it terrifies her.
Alexa and Meredith
are being stalked
in a deserted campground.
And there's no way
to call for help.
Oh, my God.
We both were preparing
for something to happen.
If they go for her,
I'll pick up
one of the logs we had.
I'd use that.
Ladies!
Hey!
Hey, pretty lady.
I got something for you.
I'm coming to get you!
Hey!
Where you going?
Come on, now.
Come on back!
I ain't done with you yet!
- Go, go, go, go, go.
- I was just getting started!
- Go, go!
Come on, ladies!
The women hope
making it to their car
means they're safe,
though they very much doubt it.
Got something for you.
Why don't you come here
and see what it is?
Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Okay.
As they try and start the car,
they realize their stalker
is getting closer.
I'm coming to get you!
Mer, come on!
You can do this!
Come on!
Come on!
- Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- Reverse, reverse.
- Okay.
- Go.
Then he appears.
Go, go, go!
The women outrun their pursuer,
but they're very far
from being out of the woods.
- Do you see anything?
- No.
I looked over to try to see
if I could see something.
As they leave the campground,
they discover that their car
is not the only vehicle
on this deserted road.
Out of the darkness, we see
these two run-down trucks
Why are you slowing down?
Let's get out of here.
Just sort of pulled off
to the side of the road,
and they looked like
they'd been pulled off
far enough to try
and be a little bit hidden.
I think that it probably
was one of the trucks
that we saw before.
I'm guessing they followed us
and saw where we were.
Seeing those two dirty trucks
there was proof enough
that there was someone
right there with us.
It looked as if there was
somebody in the truck.
We were just panicking,
just drove out of there.
And I just felt
so sick to my stomach.
It felt like I was going
to vomit at any point.
It was a very intense
physical feeling.
Oh, God. Oh, God!
They're coming!
Go faster!
- I'm trying! I'm trying!
- Go faster!
Go!
They're coming.
You know, my car is run down,
and it can't really handle
a pot-holed, gravel road.
- What do they want?
- I don't know!
Go, Mer!
Go!
So I'm going as fast as I can
while also trying
to make sure
that we don't bottom out.
That could have us stuck there
without any way to escape,
but the feeling
that I was getting
from whatever was out there
was just so malicious
and so horrifying and intense,
and it's really horrifying
to know
that literally anything
could've happened to us.
The women escape the
campground and west Virginia.
It was this whole perfect lesson
of how things
could go very wrong
and how we were just lucky
enough to get right out of it.
Something really, really
bad just almost happened to us.
The pair learned their lesson.
Camping alone is not always
as much fun as it sounds.
That's the thing
I still think about is,
"What could they have done?
What could it have been?"
We didn't go out seeking
any kind of trouble,
but it found us.
You know, the trouble
really found us.
It's very common with
the lack of police presence
where strangers come and visit
that someone will try
and prey on an outside source.
Like Alexa and Meredith,
Scott and Barb realized
that you never know
when a trip into nature can turn
into a living nightmare.
There are certain areas in the
forest where that's their place,
and we don't go there.
There's lot of room for things
out there to hide in.
People that have had
an encounter with them,
there is a connection there,
and that connection
makes you want
to find out more about
who are they?
What are they?
North American wilderness
is home to evil forces
thought only to exist
in nightmares,
but the terrible creatures
that roam here are all too real.
In the darkest, most dreadful
part of the forest
dwell those that hunt
and those that are hunted.
That thing was close enough
that you could smell it.
Run!
It approached the tent.
It did feel like a horror movie.
We both just stared
at each other.
- There's
- Ah!
There's someone here!
We need to go now!
This was one of
my greatest fears.
Go, go, go, go, go!
"I'm dead. I'm dead.
This thing has got me.
I'm dead."
Forests, like this one
in Washington state,
are an ideal place
to go hunting,
but you never know
what you might run into.
You always want to be prepared.
If you're heading into
unknown territory,
you have no idea
what's about to happen.
You have no idea what
you're going to encounter.
It's likely that you're going
to come across something
that isn't happy
that you're there.
All of us, as we grew up,
we've heard the fairy tales
of the troll under the bridge
and the bogeyman,
so even as kids, you know,
we've heard about monsters.
They live in the woods,
and the woods are a scary place.
Scott Taylor
and his girlfriend, Barbara,
think today is the perfect day
for a deer-hunting expedition.
I was raised
in northwest Oregon,
an outdoors-type of lifestyle,
hunting, fishing, hiking,
just enjoying being outdoors
all the time.
Oh, yeah.
I'll get this for you.
Don't you worry.
But Scott already has
a sense that today
might not to be
a typical trip into the wild.
I don't like the look
of this weather.
Well, would you rather
be at home,
I don't know, doing laundry?
Let's go.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
I learned to respect
the Pacific Northwest forest
because it can kill you
pretty quick.
Don't take anything for granted.
If you're not prepared, and you
don't keep your wits about you,
if you take some chances,
it might not turn out
too well for you.
So you have to be very careful
and have your head in the game.
As they venture deep
into the woods,
Scott finds the surroundings
oddly silent.
Just a little quiet.
Well, I don't know about that.
You're making a bit of noise.
It's getting thick.
Well, don't be so slow.
He is right to be apprehensive.
Will you hurry up?
Did you hear that?
No.
I didn't hear anything.
Come on.
Let's go.
It's like that weird vibe of,
"I shouldn't be here.
I'm not comfortable here.
I need to leave."
After hiking for an hour,
the couple arrives
at a hunting blind.
We had hiked out
about a mile and a half
and then found this nice place
to sit where we could see.
And, you know, settled in
to just watch the area
and see what might turn up.
Perhaps it's better that they
don't know what's out there.
Scott and Barb wait
for game to appear,
but the forest is
eerily devoid of life today.
Yeah, I'd been there
probably six times before,
and I never experienced anything
other than just
a benign day of sitting
and watching for any deer
to move around.
We can stay 15 more if you want.
No.
I guess it's not our lucky day.
Typically, when there's
a larger creature in the area,
the smaller animals
will disperse.
Yeah, let's go.
Did you hear that?
Oh, my God.
No.
You think you're out here
by yourself,
and then you hear this noise,
and you're like,
"What was that? Was that a bear?
Was that a wolf?"
You know
- Did you see that?
It definitely can make the hair
on the back of your neck
stand up.
Oh, come on.
Let's go.
When you look at the idea of
other creatures in the area,
some of them
have different traits.
Some will follow.
Some will observe.
Some will engage.
They know their territory.
They know where you are,
and that's really dangerous.
As they journey
ever deeper in search of game,
they come across something
very bizarre.
Babe, wait a second.
I noticed to my left there were
a couple of piles of stones
on top of each other.
What?
And I thought,
"That's very curious.
Who would have time to waste
just stacking stones up?"
So some animal made
a pile of rocks.
So what?
No animal did this.
The stones were probably
about the size
of the palm of your hand.
There was about three in each
little pile stacked up,
just balanced.
The fact that the creature
is intentionally placing rocks
in a systematic way
indicates some sort of
intelligence in this being.
Okay, some kids, then.
So there's a purpose for it.
They may be marking.
They may be burying something.
- Don't!
- Don't?
Don't what?
By disturbing
the rock structure,
Scott and Barb
have just provoked
something they shouldn't have.
We should go.
I never experienced
anything like this before.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
We should go.
Ah!
- We got to get out of here!
A lot of people
see the monsters,
but they just don't want
to talk about it.
I think people are hardwired
to be afraid of them.
Did you hear that?
No.
I didn't hear anything.
Out for a day of hunting,
Scott Taylor and his girlfriend,
Barbara,
stumble upon something
Scott wishes they hadn't
Babe, wait a second.
What?
A strange rock structure.
It looked definitely
out of place.
It wasn't something that
could happen naturally.
Somebody had to put them there.
So some animal made
a pile of rocks.
So what?
No animal did this.
Okay, some kids, then.
Barb, don't!
Don't?
Don't what?
If you disturb something
that is important to them,
that would be the equivalent
of going onto
an ancient burial ground
and start digging
without permission.
You would offend.
You would upset.
That's when this creature
started vocalizing.
It was an amazingly loud,
whooping,
whoo-hoo kind of sound.
A common thing is that
people say they hear whooping,
and no one really knows
what exactly it means,
but the common thought
is that it's a communication.
My mind just started clicking
through all the animals
that I know that are out there
that make sounds.
There was nothing that matched.
We should go.
Let's go.
- Yeah, we should go.
Scott and Barb don't know
what beast they've disturbed,
but they know
they've made it very angry,
and the hunters
are now the hunted.
Oh, my God!
I could tell there was
something there,
and it was moving,
and it was big.
You could hear the sticks pop.
As they rush
to get out of there,
Scott catches a terrifying
glimpse of the creature.
I mean, you couldn't see
any real features
other than it was
a great, big blob.
It was just very, very large,
but I had nothing
to really gauge its size to.
The more they run to escape
the monster,
the deeper they are drawn
into its stalking grounds.
Ah!
You okay?
You okay?
Come on.
We got to get out of here.
McLERAN:
And when people hear that noise,
and they hear it crashing
through the woods,
that definitely adds
to the fear factor
that's involved
with the sighting.
She was terrified.
- Oh.
- Oh, sorry, sorry.
Look!
What the hell is this place?
Come on.
Let's go.
Oh, my God!
Run!
- Run!
- Oh, my God!
- Go!
Wait, wait.
Are we lost?
Babe.
And that's where
we saw a creature.
Oh, my God.
And Barb kind of gasped
and exclaimed, you know,
"What the, you know,
bleep, is that?"
It stands up,
and it's on two legs,
and it has a human-looking face
and is, like, five times bigger
than a black bear.
Then you realize
what you're really seeing.
Oh, my God.
Suddenly, it clicked.
The thing that was there,
that's a Sasquatch.
Scott!
A Bigfoot encounter can happen
to anyone at any time.
Eyewitness sightings,
there's thousands of sightings
that exist
and have been documented.
The idea that there's
that kind of a creature
that suddenly came out of myth
and became real,
that was the big epiphany.
Run!
- Ah!
And now this hunter of legend
seeks Scott and Barb
for his prey.
Run! Run!
The couple faces
a terrible dilemma.
If they can't outrun Bigfoot,
they will have to confront him,
but are their weapons enough?
The rifle I was using
is a deer rifle.
It's not very big.
If something is as big
as that thing is,
that rifle probably wouldn't
have done a whole lot
before it could get to me.
What are we going to do?
The moment of truth
is upon them.
Scott and Barb
ventured into the woods
for a leisurely hunting trip
only to find themselves the ones
being hunted
by the legendary Bigfoot.
When you realize
that they're real,
and you get a feel
for how big they are
and how helpless we are,
it sure puts things into
a different perspective.
The sheer size of the creature
is enough to intimidate
even the biggest of people.
We're talking about a creature
that crosses your path
that is 8 feet tall
and 600 pounds.
You see that, and you realize,
"Wow, this creature could do
anything it wants to me,
and there's nothing
I could do to stop it."
Now they are about to
be set upon by the angry beast
and are in desperate fear
for their lives.
But Scott worries that
shooting the beast
will only make things worse.
Don't.
And she saw the look in my eyes,
which actually made her
even more afraid and upset,
and it was like
Don't!
It won't work!
A rifle bullet, .22 caliber,
anything like that,
is not going to penetrate or
not going to cause any damage.
You would have to bring
something more
than the conventional weapon
to defend yourself,
but if you have to do that,
you probably shouldn't be there
in the first place.
They decide a better option
is to make another run for it.
Okay. Okay.
We're going to go.
We're going to go fast,
and we're going to go quiet.
You ready?
Go.
"I'm dead. I'm dead.
This thing has got me.
I'm dead."
Run!
That thing was following
and was close enough
that you could smell it.
Help! I'm lost!
There are instances where
Bigfoot has acted out,
chased people out of
their neck of the woods.
The couple hightails
it to their truck
as fast as they can
with Bigfoot on their heels.
Go, go, go!
They lock themselves
in their truck,
but escape is not that easy.
Typically, you find this more
with hunters that are armed.
They manage to get away,
but their terrifying encounter
with the legendary beast
in the woods
Run!
Has altered Scott's
and Barb's experience
with the great outdoors forever.
Barbara, she's never
gone camping since then.
That's how it affected her,
and that's 12 years ago.
And at the same time,
I don't ever want
to go out there
without my Marlin .45-70
loaded with hot loads.
I'm never coming out here again
unless I have the biggest gun
I own with me.
I think that's a perfectly
natural reaction
to have to these things,
and I've heard other people
say the same thing.
Whenever you go into nature,
all manner
of blood-curdling predators
may be lurking
and lying in wait.
As Alexa and Meredith
are about to find out,
not all of
these malevolent beings
are supernatural in origin.
In fact, the most dangerous
could look exactly like we do.
We decided to go
on this road trip
really to get to know ourselves
and to sort of enjoy nature.
Instead, we found
absolute horror
and just complete fear
for our lives.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
This part of west Virginia
richly rewards travelers
with a wealth of scenic beauty.
Having started out
from Portland, Maine,
the young women
find themselves passing
through in the early days
of their adventure.
I figured a road trip
would be fun,
and I've always wanted
to go out West.
She said she wanted to go
on a trip out to New Mexico,
and I agreed to it.
All that, like, Girl Scout
training that we did
when we were kids,
we're going to be okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Virginia was just sort of
on that path,
and I'd heard that there was
some pretty amazing camping
out there,
and it's very beautiful.
Camping was what
we really wanted to do.
We had both had
experience camping,
so we felt
pretty comfortable doing it.
My boyfriend knew
that I was camping,
didn't know exactly where.
We didn't really think that
it was necessary to tell people
exactly where
we were going to be.
But perhaps they should have.
The first sign that their trip
might be headed
in the wrong direction
occurs when they pull into
a local gas station
looking to choose
a campground for the night.
So, White Rocks campground
we found on a list
of the national parks in
the national park camping spots.
There were a few in the area.
We chose it simply
because it was close
to where we were
getting off the interstate.
The name sounded
kind of appealing.
What about this?
It's close-ish.
I don't know.
It could be gross.
When they talk with the locals,
things go a little off.
Let's ask him.
Excuse me.
We didn't know anything
about any of the campsites,
so it was really just, you know,
point your finger and pick one.
Hey, do you know this place?
Sure.
We met a few people
from the area,
and we had told them
that we were going to be camping
when they asked
what we were doing.
Is it any good?
Compared to what?
It's about 20 miles from here,
right?
You girls camping together?
What gave it away,
the camping gear
or the camping pamphlet
I'm asking about?
You girls should be careful.
People can be weird down here.
We were in a brand-new state,
brand-new area,
so, like, we're both
a little, like, nervous.
Come on, Alexa.
Let's go.
And they might have
reason to be.
It was also kind of, like, oh,
a little taken aback a bit.
Typically, in a small town,
strangers tend to stand out.
There may be predators who look
for that kind of stuff.
If you happen to be
in a situation
where you're staying
in someone else's territory,
it's not a good idea
to tell them that you're alone.
It's not a good idea to tell
them where you're going.
We just kept expecting to hear,
you know, that banjo music
in the background.
Because if they don't
want you to be there,
and they know that you're alone,
they know where you are,
that's giving them all the tools
they need to hurt you.
We were in the middle
of nowhere.
We say one house on the left
when we first pulled
onto the road
and then didn't see
anything else.
The farther
along the path the women drive,
the creepier it gets.
It did feel like
driving into a horror movie.
It felt like
"The Blair Witch Project,"
and that was one thing
I kept thinking about, was,
"I feel like those kids
driving in the mountains,
getting out of their car
and going into the woods
with something."
As they get closer
to their final destination,
things don't improve.
I just remember at one point
looking and seeing these men
standing around
a burning trash can,
just kind of very eerily
looking up at us
as if we were in a horror movie.
What do you think
this guy is doing?
Hobo?
It made me a little bit
uncomfortable to see them.
My parents and friends
and boyfriend
told me to be careful
and to follow my gut instinct,
and if something didn't feel
right to turn around,
and things weren't feeling
that right,
but I thought
it was all in my head.
It made me more uncomfortable
that they were just burning
random stuff,
and at this point,
it could've been anything,
so it was definitely a little
nerve-racking to see them.
These young women
are starting to feel
that coming out here
was a bad idea.
- Oh, my God!
- Oh!
Everyone should listen
to their instincts.
Fear is a warning sign.
If something is telling you
to go back or not to be there,
it's probably best
that you listen to it.
Alexa and Meredith
are heading out
to go camping
on the road trip of a lifetime.
But the deeper into the woods
they go,
the more their sense
of foreboding grows.
You girls camping together?
Come on.
Let's go, Alexa.
There was no one thing
that I could pinpoint
as the reason
for my nervousness.
I've never felt that anxious.
It did feel like
driving into a horror movie.
Now, along the home stretch
to where they intend to camp
for the night,
things take an even darker turn.
So, when we were first driving
into the campground,
about halfway down the road,
we notice a truck behind us.
I just remember feeling
a bit uncomfortable by it.
It was just very strange to me
seeing as how there was
nobody else on the road.
What's with this yahoo?
It was just on the road with us.
It was behind us
for a few miles.
It looks like the same truck
they saw at the gas station,
and they wonder if they
are being followed
by the men they encountered,
and if so,
what do they want with them?
A lot of people look forward
to playing with
or toying with non-locals.
I kind of pushed
that out of my mind.
I just didn't want
to freak myself out.
But they are freaking out
until the truck veers off
as suddenly
as it first appeared.
They eventually turned down
another road, and that was it.
And I remember thinking,
"Where is that truck going,
and what are they doing?"
There was absolutely nothing
out there.
The girls hope
they will feel safer
when they are surrounded
by other campers,
but they learn that's not
going to be the case.
We drove around the campsite
to see if we saw anybody else,
and there was nobody,
so we just picked a spot.
When we saw that the campsite
was completely abandoned,
my anxiety grew a bit.
It was very creepy.
Any relief that I was feeling
to be off the road
was sort of taken over
by that nerve-racking feeling.
So we just looked around,
listened.
It was very quiet.
I guess it's not very popular.
Obviously.
It looks like a graveyard.
And I was thinking like,
"All right.
I kind of do want
to get a motel."
Maybe we should go
someplace else.
That'll be an hour
or two on the road.
It'll be pitch-black by then.
And saw how low the sun was,
and it was one of these things
where we sort of looked
at each other and said,
"Well, we either
have to set up camp right now,
or we're going to have to
turn around and be on the road
for another at least half-hour
to find another place to stay."
Well, then, I guess
we don't have a choice.
We decided to stay
and set up camp
just because
it was getting so dark.
Let's do it, then.
We got out of the car.
So we decided to just
power through it.
It felt like
the minute we parked
and started unpacking the tent
that we were being watched.
I'm pretty familiar
with the woods
and comfortable with
being out in the woods,
but it was something very
unsettling about where we were.
So she's setting up the tent,
and I'm getting the firewood.
And we would both separately
stop what we were doing
and just listen and look around.
I was focused on
setting up the tent,
and I just had this
feeling behind me
that there was something there,
and it was such an awful feeling
that I had never felt before.
I felt like I was being watched
pretty much the entire time.
I felt the need to constantly
stop what I was doing
and sort of turn in a circle
and survey my surroundings.
But we just kept trucking
through it, just like,
"You know, we're already here.
We've got this."
When you're along out there,
you could be a sitting target.
If I was in their shoes,
you know, I would've packed up,
and I would've gone.
Adding to
the increasing sense of unease,
their phones don't work.
- Hey, Mer?
- Yeah?
Do you have reception?
No.
So we're in the middle of
the mountains of West Virginia
with no cell service
at this campsite,
and it's about to get dark.
You better get that tent set up
before it gets too dark.
It was very uncomfortable
to know that
if I needed to call anybody,
I couldn't and that
there was going to be no one
who knew where we were.
Meredith and Alexa truly hope
they are alone in the forest,
but they get the ever-growing
sense that they are not.
What was that?
Sometimes camping alone
in the woods is a bad idea.
Meredith and Alexa have embarked
on a cross-country road trip
that so far
hasn't gone as planned,
and now,
miles from civilization,
they have
an overpowering feeling
that they are being stalked.
We're in the middle of
the mountains of west Virginia,
and it's about to get dark.
If I needed to call anybody,
I couldn't.
If something were to happen,
no one would be
able to find you.
So when we first got
the campfire lit,
we hoped that it was
going to make us feel better.
The intention was that
it was going to calm us down
and provide some light
and let us see a bit
more into the woods.
The woods were so thick that
even a pretty
decent-sized campfire
couldn't penetrate all the way.
What is it?
But all the fire does
is make the woods
seem even more terrifying.
I thought I heard something.
I would turn my lamp
on every now and then
to kind of look
around the trees.
What is it?
What do you see?
I had the feeling,
since we pulled in there,
we were being watched.
Alexa?
I had never felt
that feeling before.
It was just a strange feeling.
So I would look around the trees
thinking I'll see something.
I don't know, really, why I felt
like I had to do that.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Just being silly.
I'd see shadows,
but with the light source,
it's always hard to tell.
I've never been in a place
where the woods were so thick.
Look, Al, the place
is surrounded by dry leaves.
All right?
No one is sneaking up on us.
It's okay.
- Yeah, I know.
To calm themselves,
the girls delve into
an ancient game
by the fire.
Alexa and I are both
very familiar with tarot.
It's something that
we've always done
as a sort of meditative thing.
Hey, want me to
read your future?
Not really.
Aw, come on.
It'll help pass the time.
Sure. Whatever.
We figured that
if we pulled cards,
it would sort of help us realize
that things weren't as bad
as we thought they were.
Moon card.
So I pulled the Moon card,
and that spoke a lot
about facing your deepest
subconscious fears.
And it just made me
very uncomfortable.
Of course,
alone in the woods at night
is a perfect place for
subconscious fears to run wild.
And if the Moon card
wasn't unnerving enough,
the next one chills
both women's blood
Death.
It was a very intense card
to read at the time,
and the minute I started
looking at the card
and thinking about
what it meant,
it just made the fear
so much worse.
So you have to imagine
if they're using tarot cards,
they already believe in a higher
power or supernatural presence.
If they're getting
negative cards
that suggest that there's
something evil out there,
it's already in their minds.
I was here facing
complete uncertainty
and complete isolation
from anybody who could help us.
I hadn't been trusting
my intuition at all.
If I had, I probably
would've realized
that my anxiety was going
to lead us into a bad place.
It was completely
still in the woods.
There were no animal sounds
whatsoever,
no wind, no nothing.
Okay.
I think we need to calm down.
Let's just call it a night and
leave here tomorrow super early.
The fact that we didn't
tell anybody
specifically where we were
really started to set in
when we realized
that we might not
even have the chance to do that,
and that if anything happened,
absolutely nobody would know
where to even look to find us.
Yeah, okay.
Sounds good to me.
What are you doing?
- Grabbing this.
I found it unnerving that
I had to have the knife.
I didn't feel comfortable
going to bed without it,
but I felt like it was
a good idea to have it.
But the thin walls
of a polyester tent
aren't enough to keep them safe,
whether they're armed or not.
And inside the tent,
their paranoia grows along
with their desperation
to connection with civilization.
I tried to call my boyfriend
just to see
if maybe I could
get through to him.
I thought that
it would really comfort me
if I could just
tell him where I was.
I pressed send on the phone,
and it just said,
"Calling, calling, calling,"
and then never connected.
We're in the middle of nowhere,
and our phones aren't working.
And that was a very intimidating
thing to realize that,
no matter what,
we still couldn't call anybody.
Pretty much immediately
after the phone said,
"No service,"
we heard footsteps.
- What was that?
- I don't know.
It was one step of footsteps,
very metered, heavy boots.
It was exactly like the
sound that my boots had made,
except louder and heavier.
By now, the paranoia
is probably at its maximum.
I can imagine
two vulnerable people
alone in the dark feeding off
of each other's paranoia
could be very scary.
Oh, my God.
It approached the tent,
and we both turned
and just stared at each other.
We were looking at each other.
It was almost like we were
both thinking the same thing.
The fact that there was
nobody else around
It wasn't like we were
at a campsite
where there are people
walking around.
It just came out of nowhere.
Oh, my God.
They're getting closer,
so what do I do?
Meredith decides to
take control of the situation.
She moved pretty fast.
Really, she did.
She grabbed that knife,
grabbed her lamp,
and then exited the tent.
One of them could make a mistake
that could end up
hurting the other.
There was a very intense moment
where I realized that it was
actually us being watched.
It really reinforced
my feelings of fear.
Mer?
- It was just this very
- Mer?
Sudden feeling of a need
to protect myself
and my best friend
and our lives.
Meredith?
She may not be able to
see who or what is out there,
but Meredith can feel it,
and it terrifies her.
Alexa and Meredith
are being stalked
in a deserted campground.
And there's no way
to call for help.
Oh, my God.
We both were preparing
for something to happen.
If they go for her,
I'll pick up
one of the logs we had.
I'd use that.
Ladies!
Hey!
Hey, pretty lady.
I got something for you.
I'm coming to get you!
Hey!
Where you going?
Come on, now.
Come on back!
I ain't done with you yet!
- Go, go, go, go, go.
- I was just getting started!
- Go, go!
Come on, ladies!
The women hope
making it to their car
means they're safe,
though they very much doubt it.
Got something for you.
Why don't you come here
and see what it is?
Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Okay.
As they try and start the car,
they realize their stalker
is getting closer.
I'm coming to get you!
Mer, come on!
You can do this!
Come on!
Come on!
- Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- Reverse, reverse.
- Okay.
- Go.
Then he appears.
Go, go, go!
The women outrun their pursuer,
but they're very far
from being out of the woods.
- Do you see anything?
- No.
I looked over to try to see
if I could see something.
As they leave the campground,
they discover that their car
is not the only vehicle
on this deserted road.
Out of the darkness, we see
these two run-down trucks
Why are you slowing down?
Let's get out of here.
Just sort of pulled off
to the side of the road,
and they looked like
they'd been pulled off
far enough to try
and be a little bit hidden.
I think that it probably
was one of the trucks
that we saw before.
I'm guessing they followed us
and saw where we were.
Seeing those two dirty trucks
there was proof enough
that there was someone
right there with us.
It looked as if there was
somebody in the truck.
We were just panicking,
just drove out of there.
And I just felt
so sick to my stomach.
It felt like I was going
to vomit at any point.
It was a very intense
physical feeling.
Oh, God. Oh, God!
They're coming!
Go faster!
- I'm trying! I'm trying!
- Go faster!
Go!
They're coming.
You know, my car is run down,
and it can't really handle
a pot-holed, gravel road.
- What do they want?
- I don't know!
Go, Mer!
Go!
So I'm going as fast as I can
while also trying
to make sure
that we don't bottom out.
That could have us stuck there
without any way to escape,
but the feeling
that I was getting
from whatever was out there
was just so malicious
and so horrifying and intense,
and it's really horrifying
to know
that literally anything
could've happened to us.
The women escape the
campground and west Virginia.
It was this whole perfect lesson
of how things
could go very wrong
and how we were just lucky
enough to get right out of it.
Something really, really
bad just almost happened to us.
The pair learned their lesson.
Camping alone is not always
as much fun as it sounds.
That's the thing
I still think about is,
"What could they have done?
What could it have been?"
We didn't go out seeking
any kind of trouble,
but it found us.
You know, the trouble
really found us.
It's very common with
the lack of police presence
where strangers come and visit
that someone will try
and prey on an outside source.
Like Alexa and Meredith,
Scott and Barb realized
that you never know
when a trip into nature can turn
into a living nightmare.
There are certain areas in the
forest where that's their place,
and we don't go there.
There's lot of room for things
out there to hide in.
People that have had
an encounter with them,
there is a connection there,
and that connection
makes you want
to find out more about
who are they?
What are they?
