Thank you.

How long you got on that camera?

I'm actually wrapping it up now. You?

Yeah, I'm pretty much done.

Yeah.

Give me a line. Okay.

So we are here in the cave.

One more time? Okay.

So we are here in the cave. Perfect.

You ready?

Yeah. What season is it? 2017.

All right, let's do it.

Sound speed.

Mark it.

Scene 27, take one. Mark.

And action.

It's a little after midnight, and we are here in the cave where we are about to

begin our first EVP session.

For this session, we will be using a spirit box, or as some like to call it,

ghost box.

This particular device uses a sweep setting to scan the frequencies of

white noise, allowing a spirit to communicate with us directly through

device, live on the spot.

If a spirit gets close to us during the session, this device will light up,

signifying a change in the electrical current around us, alerting us that we

not alone.

We've also set up a system of motion -activated still cameras, which we place

a circle around our camp where we'll be performing the EVP session.

Like so.

Aside from making contact with the spirit through EVP, we're hoping to

an image of it on camera, besides grazing with its presence during the

Are we rolling?

We are... rolling.

The EMF meter is... on.

Whenever you're ready, Ashley.

Okay.

I want everyone to be as still as possible and just clear your mind of any

negative thoughts or energy.

Is there anyone in here with us?

If so, please give us a sign.

Seven years ago, four boys came up here and were never heard from again.

You know what happened to them.

We know you are here.

We have come to speak with you.

Use this spirit box to communicate with us.

We know this land was taken from you and your people many years ago.

We come in peace, only seeking answers.

I can't think of something else.

Wait, did anybody see anything?

Shit.

Throwing the camera fell over.

We're in the drive -by lane. Listen, never lose yourself.

Well, I think that's enough of that for tonight.

Yep. Matt, check the recording on that and see if it picked up anything.

That's weird.

What?

They watched it.

That's creepy.

What?

That.

Progress, my friend. That's what that is. Uh -huh.

Okay. All right.

All right, guys.

That is a wrap on day two.

We got one more day to lure this thing out, so get some rest.

Got a big eight of miles.

Or... Shots?

Shots? Yes?

No? One more shot. One more, one more, one more.

Yes, yes, yes, ma 'am. I can't. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. You are going to be

a team player right now and celebrate with us. Fine. One more.

If I'm taking one, then you need to take one. Okay.

Cheers, guys.

Paranormal files.

Night to killing it Hey

Josh,

I finished the edit earlier and I kind of wanted to get your opinion.

Yeah, sure Go give that

opinion

Okay, so I basically have everything finished up until the scenes we just

It's still a little long, so I think that there's some room for us to trim

fat. But I really tried to make it as entertaining and mysterious as possible.

You know, I really wanted to tell the whole story up until this point.

But the ending is still a little rough, but that's just because of my own...

Jazz. Okay.

Actually, that's great.

You can just play it.

Do you need anything before we start?

Uh, yeah, how about some popcorn, large Diet Coke, red vines? You're so funny.

Ready?

I'm sorry.

I'm ready. Okay.

Malibu, California.

An idyllic seaside community known all over the world.

On a typical sunny day in June, the high school class of 2012 had just

graduated, and their futures look brighter than ever.

Nobody imagined that evening would be the backdrop to a series of events that

would shake this community to its core.

The unexplained disappearance of four local teenagers would spark a massive

search across the region, eventually leading investigators to the secluded

Malibu Canyon property belonging to the family of one of the missing teens, Jake

Torrance.

There, the footage from a video camera found at the scene would provide

authorities with many clues, but sadly fail to reveal what ultimately became of

the missing teen.

within three months time the case went cold now after more than seven years we

managed to obtain an official copy of the memory card found in jake's camera

have assembled the footage in the exact timeline of events that occurred leading

up to their mysterious disappearance

Our research uncovered a dark and violent history to the land where the

were last seen, and careful analysis of the footage has revealed evidence of a

paranormal entity present amongst the teens the night they went missing.

Over the next hour, our team will re -examine the entire case, uncovering new

facts and information surrounding the disappearance, before retracing the

teenagers' deaths and attempting to make contact with the entity that we believe

is responsible for the teens' mysterious disappearance.

is the Malibu Horror Story.

stories you cover that stays with you really haunts you over the years i mean

the whole case the whole thing was just so strange i think the thing that stuck

with me the most was really just the four kids themselves i mean this was not

your typical missing case you had four very popular intelligent young men with

promising futures and they just disappeared

And the search continues here in the Southland for the four missing high

students from Malibu. Take a look at these pictures. This is Jake Torren,

Conley, Tyler Clifford, and Carlos Garcia.

They were last seen getting into a white van at the Saddle Peak Lodge in Malibu.

Police are asking that if anyone out there has any information at all about

these four missing teens, to please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's

Department.

a week since the four boys were reported missing.

And still, hope remains here in Malibu for their safe return.

Now, in the meantime, investigators are continuing to sift through clues as to

where exactly the boys are and what may have happened to them. I don't think

they have any clues or anything so far. I know that the sheriff department's

been working really, really hard, and I'm in constant contact with them every

day. No one knows what happened. They just appeared.

One minute, they're hanging out, you're a big part of your life, and you see

them every day, and then the next day, then it's gone.

It just hit a ton of bricks, you know, and you find out that your friends are

missing, you know?

I mean, I don't know. They were messing around.

They were always pranksters.

Carter, Carlos, and Tyler, they were awesome guys. It was just like the crew.

You just knew them as they were like the Brat Pack.

Yeah. I mean, like inseparable.

All of them are always together.

So many people know the families.

They know the kids that are missing.

It's just been very, very difficult.

We're just a small seaside community. I know we're known all over the world, but

we're just really a small town. Everybody knows each other. Nothing like

has ever happened.

They just really turned this place upside down. This place is like a ghost

like a week after it happened.

The entire community had become involved.

Search and rescue teams, along with hundreds of local volunteers, combed the

mountain roads and valleys, but there was no sign of the missing teens.

After a few weeks, search was called off, and most people stopped believing

they would be found.

Over the next few weeks, there really was no new information about the boys'

whereabouts, but the story of the missing teens had become one of the

stories, the biggest headlines in Southern California.

So I was already pretty familiar with the case when I was first assigned to

cover it.

We are live at Malibu High School where a candlelight vigil has been set up by

the school. These students here remembering, possibly mourning the loss

of their fellow classmates. It's been three weeks to the day since those

students have been seen. There's a lot of tears here, a lot of concern, but

unfortunately, not a lot of hope.

As you can imagine, it's been very traumatic for the community. There has

lot of media coverage because it's Malibu.

Everywhere. I mean, you turn on the news, you know, it's talked about, it's

Facebook. I mean, there's a hashtag on Twitter. I mean, it's on Facebook, it's

on Twitter, it's all over that crap, but I mean, I've been trying to call them

every single day. I'm hoping it's just a hoax. I mean, what are the chances that

something's going to happen to those kids? All I can hope is that they can

home and that they're okay.

Just as everyone had started to give up hope, there was a huge break in the case

the following morning.

Police arrived on the scene early this morning after a local resident reported

that a large white van was parked at the end of this secluded dirt road here in

Malibu Canyon.

Authorities say the resident, who lived less than a mile away, was out searching

for his lost dog when he stumbled upon the abandoned vehicle.

Coincidentally, the property behind me, which spans over 1 ,400 acres, is

actually owned by the family of one of the missing teens, Jake Torrance.

Moments ago, Mr. and Mrs. Torrance arrived here on the scene to help assist

authorities with the search of the property.

At approximately 7 .52 this morning, our Malibu Lost Hill station received a

call from a resident informing us of the van's location.

The gentleman stated he'd seen the news reports on the missing boys, and he

believed that he had found the vehicle we were looking for.

We're continuing with the investigation, but at this time, can't confirm that...

This is the van the boys rented.

We'll keep you updated on any late -breaking developments as they occur.

Six hours into the latest search involving the four missing teenagers

Malibu and authorities believe that they have found new evidence in the case.

So far we found some hiking supplies that belonged to the boys as well as a

video camera but no sign of the boys themselves.

Sheriff, any idea where the boys might be? No, but we're still hoping to find

something on that camera that'll help point us in the right direction.

Tonight, authorities are hoping that the contents of a video camera found at the

scene will help provide an explanation to the mysterious disappearance of the

four teens reported missing back on June 19th.

A memory card found in Jake's camera contained everything Jake had filmed in

24 hours leading up to their disappearance, but ended abruptly

any concrete answers.

The area surrounding their camp was searched, including a nearby cave, but

other traces of the boys were found, and the case remained a mystery.

A few weeks later, authorities stated that based on a lack of leads, the case

would remain open, but the act of investigation was being called off.

The mood in the community was somber, and sympathy poured out to the families.

But once authorities screened the footage for family members and friends

missing, everything changed.

Investigators had only commented on the parts of the video that were directly

related to the investigation, so no one in the community was prepared for what

they saw in the first part of the tape.

The footage begins innocently enough, shortly after their high school

ceremony.

Jake was having a party at his house for the entire graduating class.

Jake Torrance had plans to become a filmmaker, and had just received a brand

professional camera for his birthday.

The company that Jake's father owned sponsored a rave in Los Angeles that

so as a birthday present, he organized party buses to transport the newly

graduates in true VIP fashion.

Alright, you guys got one?

Yeah! Okay, I wanna make a toast.

I wanna make a toast.

Here is to an epic night that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Yeah,

bitch, make it nasty. Tongue down the throat while the other bitch gagging.

Hey, look, look, we're 21 tonight, you remember?

See this? One, two, three. That's us. We're 21, right there.

Cheers, cheers. Happy birthday, boys. Happy birthday, bro. Happy birthday.

If we all live long enough to enjoy it.

When this footage was screened for members of the community, people were

and caught off guard by the content.

The narrative surrounding the case instantly changed from the tragic

disappearance of four all -American boys to the sex and drug -fueled escapades

in Malibu's youth.

Sympathy for the missing teens was replaced with disgust for their actions,

much of the blame and anger being directed towards the parents, especially

Torrance family, for supporting that kind of behavior.

Under increased scrutiny, The Torrance family left Malibu and moved to Northern

California.

After that, talks of the missing teen slowly faded in the community.

It's sad because that tape did more to hinder the investigation than it ever

to help it.

People were so excited when it was found, but it turned out to be the thing

made people stop caring.

After that, people just either forgot or they just didn't care that these boys

had never been found.

But there was more on that camera than just the parties and drugs.

And our team had discovered evidence of paranormal activity that we believe is

directly related to the disappearance.

The tape resumes the next morning, just as the teens depart on their trip.

You guys eat anything yet?

No, man. Let's get some breakfast.

Let's eat saddle peas.

Hell yeah. Sounds good.

Dude, I'm full. I've been eating pussy all night.

Until Jake's video camera was found, this was the last place that the boys

ever been seen.

When investigators interviewed family members and friends, nobody had a clue

to where the boys were going as Jake kept their destination a secret and

it to be a surprise.

Thanks to the footage, we now know that Jake and the boys made the 45 -minute

drive from the Saddle Peak Lodge out to the Torrance family's vacant Malibu

Canyon property.

Hey, that game looks locked.

Is this it?

Yeah.

Yeah, this is it.

Fuck. Is it cool if we're up here? I mean, that shit says no trespassing.

Yeah, yeah, it's cool. We can come up here. I mean, it's my family's property.

Probably like to get it if my grandparents passed away.

Nobody really comes up here anymore, you know?

Come on, Tyler.

Come on, Tyler, use that, use that hinky string.

Don't die.

What the fuck?

Ah, fuck.

Goddamn. Seriously?

Yeah, seriously.

So, you got the key for it?

No.

No key.

So, what's the plan?

Looks like we're hiking it.

Where? The campsite? The top?

Of that mountain.

Let's not even cut down trees and shit. There's gonna be, like, trails and

stuff. It's really cool views, actually.

Probably more fun this way anyway.

More fun.

What the fuck?

Come on, man. It's not going to be that bad. It'll be a couple hours.

I'll be there.

What are we going to do about the van?

Let's park it here.

Nobody really comes up here anymore.

It's just going to be fine.

Come on. Let's go.

And John, make sure everything's locked up, will you?

Everybody ready?

Let's do this.

All right, let's move.

Thanks. And you bring more.

This is where the boys began what we estimate to be a six -hour hike into the

mountains. This massive estate spans 1 ,422 acres and is bordered by nearly 13

square miles of national forest.

For thousands of years, these lands along the coast were used as hunting and

fishing grounds by the Native American tribes in the region.

This particular area of land held great spiritual significance for the local

shaman. It was used as both a place for performing sacred rituals and as a mass

burial ground for their people.

In 1902, the local tribes were driven out by wealth and greed when much of the

area was forcibly annexed from them under the Dawes Act and sold to white

settlers.

William J. Torrance, a wealthy businessman and the great -great

Jake, purchased this large estate just before he passed in 1904.

Landon's remained in the Torrance family ever since.

Come on.

It's over here.

Yo, what is it? I don't know. It's kind of hard to explain. It's like, uh...

It's a thing. Just come here.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, watch out through here, dude.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

Look at this shit. This is fucking weird.

What the fuck is this? Look at those markings.

Hey, who's buried here?

I don't know, man.

I think they were buried here a long time ago, though.

Why the fuck are you sipping on this shit? I don't sip on my grades.

Is that bad luck?

Yeah, this is food. Dude, check it out.

There's more?

You ever seen that?

Nah, that's some Asian shit, though.

What do you know about Asian shit?

I don't know. I'm guessing. Your mom's some Asian shit.

Go again.

That one's small.

Holy shit.

Hey Native

Americans

believed this land with a natural spiritual energy vortex called it the

Gate, through which the souls of the dead can pass between the mortal world

the heavenly paradise of Similacsa.

Burial locations like this are reserved for chiefs, shamans, and the tribe's

most decorated warriors, so that their spirits can easily reconnect back to the

drum.

What's that down there?

What?

Down there!

Where?

What is it? Is that a cave?

I don't know.

Come on.

Hurry the fuck up!

It was hard as butt getting down that steep -ass hill.

What?

Fuck me.

It is a cave.

These caves were scattered off the coast and primarily used as ritual sites by

the local shamans, but mostly forgotten about until being rediscovered in the

1970s. They were labeled historical landmarks, yet this one is not

and does not appear on any map.

In fact, this cave doesn't even appear on any of the county land records.

Holy fuck. It's fucking cool.

You didn't tell me your grandparents had caves on their land.

Yeah, you should have told me about it when I was little, but I've never seen

them before.

Shit. I have no idea if that's what the cave says. These look just like the

markings from the rock graves.

Shit, they do.

What the fuck?

Hey, I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

It's fine.

That camera got a light on it?

Uh, yeah, yeah. Hold on.

Dude.

I guess there's a bunch of caves and routeshifts like this all the way up the

coast as far as the Santa Barbara.

Caves were where the shamans would hang out.

You would come and you would visit them if you wanted to go on a fishing quest.

They considered large rocks and caves like these to be portals to the sacred

realm where they could tap into the supernatural.

What the hell's a vision quest?

Well, you see, the shamans would smoke this really bomb shit called jimson

which is like a super potent hallucinogenic weed that got them really

like the point where they would receive visions from the spirit world.

That doesn't make sense.

That sounds...

Okay, let's see. Check it out.

They would paint on the walls and ceiling using a mixture of minerals and

blood. And scrap the visions they were having during the quest.

Crazy. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, this is fucking cool.

Hey, Carlos.

Come here and check it out.

Fuck you guys, I'm good. I'll check it out on the video later on or something.

There's some pretty trippy shit happening here.

Another name for Jimson weed, the devil's weed, or the devil's trumpet.

Some say that when the shamans would open these portals to these sacred

it allowed evil spirits with supernatural powers to cross over and

horrible death to all those who encountered it.

Like skinwalkers, who had the ability to steal the skin and absorb themselves

into the human body.

Fuck you, asshole.

Fuck this one. Come on, man.

Man, you really pissed him off.

Pussy.

We should probably get up to the campsite. Get all that shit set up and

daylight.

Alright.

Promise me one thing.

We smoke fat.

Join in here on the way back tomorrow.

Deal.

Okay.

Fuck yeah.

So, can we camp in here?

Uh, hell no dude. This place freaks me out.

The spiral and wheel shapes were commonly used as indicators to doorways

portals to other worlds.

Because of the size of this cave and the naturally occurring energy vortex here,

this cave would be considered one of the most powerful and sacred sites in the

entire region.

In rare places like this, shamans believed that one could travel back and

between the realms of the living and the dead.

and that spirits from the other side could be called into our world

when these gateways were opened unwanted spirits could cross over usually they

were just harmless but sometimes an evil or malevolent spirit would cross over

into our world terrorizing all who encountered it almost there can you feel

no no i can't do it i can't feel my feet i can't feel nothing it's right here

you said that like

Three hours ago. Yeah, but this time I mean it. It's right here.

This is it!

Touchdown! We made it!

We're home! Peak!

Beautiful, huh?

Yeah! This is fucking awesome!

Beautiful, god damn.

Oh my god.

You know, I know I bitched a lot, but this is worth it. Alright guys, we got

like 45 minutes until the sun goes down, so we gotta make camp.

At an elevation of nearly 3 ,000 feet, this beautiful overlook offers a

panoramic view of the entire Malibu coast.

It would have been a very significant place for the natives who once called

home, but sadly we have uncovered disturbing evidence of a gruesome event

seemed to have taken place here just over a century ago.

While digging through the archives, I came across a very old newspaper article

from 1903 that claimed several members of a small tribe that had been relocated

were mysteriously unaccounted for.

and foul play was suspected.

Suspicions arose after a journal was found on the body of a dead man who

for William J. Torrance that described the brutal execution of more than 20

Native Americans.

It detailed the removal of a group of squatters that remained on the land

the sale.

He describes rounding them all up and marching them to their place of

a nearby plateau overlooking the sea.

There, the natives were bound and forced to watch as the men raped their women

and destroyed their sacred relics before slitting their throats one by one.

They then proceeded to burn the bodies and bury the remains in a nearby cave to

cover up any trace of the murders.

The journalist who wrote the piece speculated there could be dozens, if not

hundreds, of missing natives buried on the ground.

Where's that rifle at?

Oh, I think it's over there near Ty's tent.

Where are you?

Man, this tent is fucked.

Serious right now? Yeah, for real.

Hey, you know what? Let's just take a break, dude. I'm tired of this bullshit

ass hype.

I'm down.

Some white people shit, bro. I know. Ty made it look so easy.

Just what I needed.

You know what? No.

What are you doing?

Hell yeah.

I know this guy gotta have some snack in here or some shit.

Wait, wait, wait.

Bingo, motherfucker.

Dude, those look nasty.

Holy shit. What kind of muffins are these?

Fucking rotten.

Why the hell would Taff pack raw muffins?

Maybe he left it in his bag since the last time he went camping.

Pfft, fuck it. I wouldn't text those if I were you.

It doesn't smell that bad, bro. Here. Oh, you must be hungry.

Fucking told you. Wow, are you serious?

How do they taste?

Good. So what? I'm good.

I'm good, dude.

Fuck it's up so bad.

I don't know dude father's directors. I came with it.

Hello. It's you. All right.

I guess I

don't

hear dude French

You guys didn't feel that?

That is kind of how that does it, you're lying.

Probably the beer.

He's been counting that shit all day.

What the fuck? Oh, fuck.

Oh, shit.

Damn, dude, I told your ass not to eat those muffins. They were rotten.

Muffins?

Yeah, he had the muffins out of your bag.

My muffins? Oh, shit.

How many did he eat? I don't know. How many of those?

Did you eat one? Hell no. Those things are my shit.

Did you?

No, I thought we were saving those for tonight.

What the fuck would we save those? Because they're slam -packed, full of

shrooms, man. We were all gonna trip tonight.

We didn't know that.

Ugh.

Whatever. I packed six, so he must have ate three.

Shit. He's fucked.

That's enough psilocybin to send him on an overnight flight. What should we do?

I don't know, maybe it's good that he's cute and get it all out. Now, once that

gets into your system and it breaks down, he comes to the stand.

That's the point of no return.

How long ago did he eat him?

I don't know, probably like 30 minutes ago, maybe longer.

He's so... It's okay.

It's really not okay.

Get it all out.

What are we going to do?

Look. Let's just spill the fire before it gets too dark. You can set him up in

his tent. It's gonna be fine.

Get him some water. Come on. Come on, dude. Get up. Get up. Get up. You're

alright. You're alright. Get the fuck out of my backpack.

As night falls, situations continue to get worse.

The drugs have fully taken effect, and Carlos' behavior can be seen becoming

more erratic and volatile.

Carlos! Carlos!

Carlos!

Are you going? Fuck! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Ow!

You okay?

What are you talking about?

What is what?

What are you talking about, Los?

See? See what?

There's nothing there, man!

Fuck!

Investigators didn't think that this footage was of much significance in

the overall case.

But paranormal files made a startling discovery that changes everything.

After careful examination, it seems there actually was something in the

as Carlos had stated.

Several frames of what appears to be an apparition were captured by Jake's

camera as he was panning through the treetops, just when Carlos was beginning

hallucinate.

Had Carlos actually made contact with something from the spirit world?

My leg busted.

Yeah, a little bit.

Not bad.

I just feel sorry.

Hey, is he gonna be alright?

Fuck him.

Yo, he needs help.

Can we call someone, like a park ranger or a rescue team, like a helicopter's

out here?

Told you, we don't expect him to hit the mountain.

Fuck. He'll be fine. He just needs to sleep it off.

I got back.

Fuck, dude. Let's get back to the van and get the hell out of here. Los.

I'm telling you.

Something's out in those trees.

No, Los, Los, Los, Los.

There's nothing in the trees. You just ate some mushrooms and you thought you

saw something. It's almost an hallucination, okay?

It's fine.

Fuck, dude.

I know what I saw, Los.

Something's out there.

Fine. Guys,

this sounds pretty serious.

Let's just go back to the van and come back some other time.

Do you remember how far we came today?

It is pitch black right now. We would get lost if we tried to hike back.

What the hell are we supposed to do?

He'll be fine.

We just need to sleep it off. Time is right.

Where are you going?

Go get more firewood.

Fuck.

Carter, go with him.

This shit is crazy, man.

I'll babysit those.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's gonna be alright.

Ah, there's nothing.

Oh, man.

It's creepy.

Down there.

There it is.

Jake! Yeah?

Come here now!

What is it?

I don't know.

We found something.

Okay. Um, let's go.

Holy fuck, that's a bone.

Yeah, no shit.

It's like a femur.

That's not all, dude. Look over here.

Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck.

I think this was my grandparent.

How?

Yeah, didn't you guys have like a funeral a couple summers back or

It was a memorial service.

So then how could it be your grandparents?

They never actually found the bodies.

What the fuck are you talking about, found their bodies?

Didn't they die of old age?

No, not actually.

About six years ago, they went missing.

They didn't have a lot of friends. They mostly just captured themselves up here.

My dad was their only child, so there wasn't that much of a search party.

You're being serious right now?

Yeah. I mean, investigators figured they just had an encounter with a wild

animal that survived it.

You're right.

What the fuck?

So, you figured it would be safe here. We came up here.

This is some information you should have told us before you brought us up here.

Look, I thought it'd be fun, okay?

Fine. Nobody came up here anymore. We had the whole mountain to ourselves.

This is fucked up, okay? What is it? Whatever killed your grandparents is

out here. It probably is. We've got the rifle. We're fine. Fuck the rifle!

Do you see this shit?

It's not fun anymore.

All right, well, let's not panic. Let's just...

Let's go back to camp, we'll get some sleep, then we'll hike back first thing

the morning, alright?

We're a fucking asshole! It's fine! That is a dead fucking body!

Is it possible that the bones did belong to Jake's grandparents?

Or could they belong to the Native Americans that were buried here long

Either way, Jake's grandparents were mysteriously reported missing on the

property in 2007.

Michael Torrance, the couple's only child, and the father of Jake, called

the search after only three days.

Soon after, authorities declared the couple deceased.

They weren't the only Torrances to die or go missing on the property either.

In 1904, an unexplained fire on the property destroyed most of the original

structures and took the lives of Jake's great -great -grandparents just two

years after purchasing the land.

Was this just a coincidence?

Or has the Torrance family been cursed for stealing the land out from under the

Native Americans who called this area home for thousands of years?

Los! Where the hell could he be?

Maybe that fucker decided to hike back without his flashlight?

Los!

Oh shit, the rifle.

Where the fuck are you? This shit isn't funny, dude. I don't see shit. Fuck.

Really? Carlos!

You with him?

Hey, watch out! Carlos!

Carlos!

Damn,

I'm not going down there, dude.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure. Come on.

Carlos, you in there?

Carlos!

Carlos!

Where the fuck is he?

This is fucking... Carlos!

Holy shit!

Jesus Christ.

Carlos, come on, stop playing, let's go.

Where's your shirt?

Oh, come on. Let's go back to camp.

Shut the fuck up.

Listen.

What the fuck is that?

What the fuck is going on?

What the fuck was that?

See anything?

Holy shit!

What the fuck is happening?

Look him up!

This is where the footage ends.

Investigators thought it was probable that the boys were injured by falling

rocks in the cave, and their bodies were dragged away and consumed by wild

animals, as mountain lions and coyotes have been known to roam the area.

But the truth is, they didn't have a clue as to what was really going on.

We spent the last several days examining the footage frame by frame, searching

for any other signs of the spirit that Carlos saw.

We began by focusing on any areas of the footage where odd things or behaviors

were occurring.

One thing that stood out was the amount of digital interference when they first

entered the cave.

This is often an indicator of a paranormal presence, similar to what you

find in white noise recordings.

As we examined the footage, we spotted the apparition again, but this time it

was in the cave directly above Carlos, moments before the cave began to

After running some tests to determine it wasn't a fake, we were convinced that

this entity was directly related to the disappearance.

We knew.

that if we could find it and make contact, we could confirm our theory and

the truth about what really happened to those missing boys.

The only thing left to do was to go up there and try to find it for ourselves.

We set up camp in the cave, as this was the last place the boys were when the

footage ended.

We spent the first night doing a baseline sweep of the entire cave,

any clues we could find, but there was no sign of the apparition.

And the cave was much larger than we had imagined.

After several hours of exploring, we had still not seen it all.

We found and cataloged dozens of various symbols and markings left behind by the

Native Americans who lived here long ago.

But many were strange and unlike anything we'd ever previously come

our research.

On day two, we were ready to make our first attempt at contact.

So what'd you think?

It was amazing.

The editing is fantastic.

You did a great job.

But... I just hope this isn't all for nothing.

What do you mean?

Well, if we don't find this thing, then we don't have a show.

All we really have is something that looks like an apparition.

And everybody's gonna say we faked that.

I just want to figure out what happened to those boys. I want to solve the case.

Well, we still have another day.

There's something up here.

I know it. I can feel it.

We just have to find it.

Amazing, Zach.

Okay. I'll talk to you in the morning. Yeah.

Good night.

Right?

Come on, wake up. You've got to see this.

Matt, get up.

What is it?

Matt, come on.

Ashley, come on.

Matt.

What is it? Just sit down. You guys have to see this.

Matt! Oh, yeah.

That's going to be important.

It's the best sleepover since we got here.

Okay.

Okay, so I was going through all the raw files from the memory card, and I found

a bunch of clips that it looks like the investigators discarded, which at

first...

Well, then I checked the file's metadata, and I found the error box,

stated that the files were corrupt.

But then I found the time codes, and the time codes seemed to be a continuation

of where the footage ended.

No way. Did you run these files from a repair software?

Yeah, it's just about finished.

The fuck was that?

That can't be real.

Play that back.

That's Carlos.

Oh, my God.

It's inside him.

What is it?

Tyler was right.

What?

It's a skinwalker.

But I thought those could only possess animals.

Well, not always. I mean, in rare cases, they can possess people, too.

Jeff, where's my research bag?

Back.

These skinwalkers can only be summoned upon by the most powerful shaman.

When conjured, they can enter the flesh of the willing or a susceptible human

host. The mushrooms.

It makes sense. Crawlers were the most susceptible.

Once it enters the vessel, it can change shape and appearance, channeling the

essence of a supreme malevolent entity through one's body to access its

abilities and individual traits, which include the strength of a bear, the

flight of a hawk, and the trickster coyote which has been known to toy with

victims before killing them it's like a living conduit

i can't believe this is real let's just keep watching and see what happens

Oh shit!

Boss! Boss!

Go! Go! Go! Run!

Go! Run!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

What the fuck is it?

here, okay? Going back out there is a fucking death trap.

Carter's gonna fucking die right now.

Did you get that?

Fuck this.

I'm gonna go get him.

God damn it. Jake!

Carter?

He can't be far, he's kinda close.

He's gonna be in the cave.

This

is

insane, what the fuck am I watching?

It's in his heart.

It's his soul.

Fuck.

When it kills an enemy, it devours their soul, negating any afterlife and

preventing the spirit from taking revenge.

Fuck!

Tyler, where are you?

Tyler, I need your flashlight.

Is it real? Is it real?

Tyler!

I dropped it back there.

I can't fucking do this.

I can't see a fucking thing.

I told you.

We never should have come in here.

Give me a minute. I'm changing the battery on my camera light.

I almost got it.

See? Right now.

Fuck this! This is some seriously demonic shit!

We gotta get the fuck out of here!

For all we know, that thing could still be out here.

Don't you get it?

It always has been. It's like a guardian.

It's like a protector of their sacred land.

It must have been summoned by a shaman as they were being forced off their

You guys saw what it did to Carlos.

But none of us took any drugs.

How could we give him that?

We called out to it when we tried to make contact.

We invited it in. We are the flesh of the willing.

He gets control over one of us. There's no telling what it's gonna turn into

next. Well, fuck that.

Who's got the keys to the jeep? I do.

Guys, this sounds so crazy.

You know what's crazy is that video we just watched of a kid getting possessed

by an evil spirit and ripping his friend's heart out.

Look, I think we get the fuck out of here, all right? Look, grab the laptop

come back for the rest of the stuff tomorrow with the cops.

We got what we need for the show, man.

Yeah, I'm with Matt on this one. With no cell reception, we should at least

drive to the bottom of the mountain and call someone.

I'm gonna grab the laptop and the hard drive.

Is there anything we can do to send it back?

Only a shaman can close the gateway.

The only thing that we need to focus on right now is getting out of here as fast

as we can.

Good? Why?

You have to see this.

I don't want to tell her.

Have

you seen

anything? No.

That's what they're living in.

Oh my god, I think it's Ashley.

It's Ashley.

Ashley!

Shit. Man!

Shit.

Which way do we go?

Take this.

You guys go this way. I'll go that way. We'll cover one ground.

And if you find the first, just yell out my name.

Okay. Go. Man!

Dad?

Dad?

Dad, is that you?

Ashley? Jess?

Where are you guys?

Come on!

Where are you?

What?

Oh shit.

I must have taken a wrong turn back there.

I just made a complete circle. How is that possible?

i see oh my god you're okay come on it's time to go come on
