-Matt? -Yeah?

How much light you got on that camera?

I'm actually wrapping up now. You?

Yeah, I'm pretty much done.

Yeah, so like, I'll just introduce the cave.

Let me just adjust this really quick here.

Yeah, you got it.

-Give me a line. -Okay,

uh, so we are here in the cave...

Give me a second.

-Okay, one more time. -Okay.

So we are here in the cave.

Perfect.

You ready?

Yeah, uh, what scene is it?

27.

Alright, let's do this.

Sound speeds?

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, a ghost box.

This particular device uses a sweep setting

to scan the frequencies of static or white noise,

allowing a spirit to communicate with us

directly through this 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 are not alone.

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

which we've placed in 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 capture an image of it on camera,

if it decides to grace us with its presence during the session.

Okay.

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.

Do 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... I think I'm picking something up.

Are you here with us now?

What the fuck was that?

Did anybody see anything?

Shit.

Thermal camera fell over.

When the tripod wings whistled, there was...

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

-Yep. -Matt, check the recording on that

and see if it picked up anything.

-Well, that's weird. -What?

Hey, watch this.

It just kind of crashes.

What was that?

Looks like another one of those interference glitches.

I've been having to power it off before it fell.

Still got a full battery.

Oh, see that heat signature?

It's forming right behind you.

Yeah, that's creepy.

You know what that is?

What?

That...

...is progress, my friends.

-That's what that is. -Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Okay, all right.

All right, guys. That is a wrap on day two.

Uh, we got one more day to lure this thing out,

so let's get some rest.

Got a big day tomorrow.

Or...

...uh...

Shots? Shots?

-Yes? -No!

No?

One more shot. More, more, more.

-Just one more. -Yes, yes, yes, ma'am.

-Okay. Yes, you can. -I can't.

Yes, you can. You... you are gonna be a team player right now

-and celebrate with us. -Fine, one more.

-Thank you. -If I'm taking one,

-then you need to take one. -Peer pressure.

Okay, uh, cheers, guys.

Uh, paranormal files.

Night two. We're killing it.

-Did you touch? Did you touch? -I touched.

-Yes, yes. -Okay. Alright.

Okay, down the hatch.

-Okay, I'm good. -Oh, it burns so good.

-N... Next one, next one. -Oh, it burns so good.

-No, no, no, no, no. -I'm done.

-No, no, no, no, no. -Yeah. I got work to do.

-Uh, hey, Josh? -Mm-hm.

I finished the edit earlier,

and I kinda wanted to get your opinion.

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Go give that opinion.

-Hey, you going to bed? -Yeah.

-Good night. -Good night.

Okay, so I basically have everything finished up

until the scenes we just shot.

Um, it's still a little long,

so I think that there's some room for us to trim the 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... the ending is still a little rough,

but that's just because of my own...

Jess...

I'm sure it's great.

-Okay. Okay. -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.

Just play the video.

Ready?

-I'm... 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 looked 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 failed to reveal

what ultimately became of the missing teens.

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,

and 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 teens 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 reexamine the entire case,

uncovering new facts and information

surrounding the disappearance,

before retracing the teenagers' steps

and attempting to make contact with the entity

that we believe is responsible

for the teens' mysterious disappearance.

This is a Malibu Horror Story.

It's one of those 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 person's 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 school students from Malibu.

Take a look at these pictures.

This is Jake Torrance, Carter 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.

It's been nearly 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... uh, Department's

been working really, really hard,

and I'm in constant contact with them every day.

No one really knows what happened.

They just...

...disappeared.

One minute they're hanging out,

they're a big part of your life,

and you see them every day,

and then the next day, they're just gone.

It just hit us like

a ton of bricks, you know, when...

...you find out that your friends are missing, you know?

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

They... they were always pranksters.

-Carter, Carlos, Tyler. -Yeah.

-They were awesome guys. -They were just, like, the crew.

Like, you just knew them as... They were, like, the brat pack.

Yeah. I mean...

Like, inseparable, all of them.

They were always together.

You know, 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 this has ever happened.

They just really just turned this place upside down.

This place was like a ghost town,

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, the search was called off,

and most people stopped believing

that 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 biggest 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 four 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's been, um,

a lot of media coverage because it's Malibu.

It's everywhere.

I mean, you turn on the news,

you know, it's... it's talked about.

It's on... It's on 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 'em every single day.

I'm hoping it's just a hoax. I mean...

...what are the chances that something's gonna happen to those kids?

All I can hope is that...

...they can come 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 was parked at the end

of this secluded dirt road here in Malibu Canyon.

Authorities say the resident, who lives 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 Hills station received

a call from a resident

informing us of the van's location.

Now, 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 from Malibu,

and authorities believe that they have found

new evidence in the case.

So far, we've found some hiking supplies

that belong 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 the 24 hours leading up to their disappearance,

but ended abruptly without offering any concrete answers.

The area surrounding their camp was searched,

including a nearby cave,

but no 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 of the 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 graduation 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 new

professional camera for his birthday.

The company that Jake's father owned

sponsored a rave in 'Los Angeles that night,

so as a birthday present, he organized party buses

to transport the newly-minted graduates in true VIP fashion.

Let's get this party started!

Alright, hey, everybody grab a glass!

Everybody grab a glass!

-Alright. You guys got one? -Yeah!

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!

Let's get fuckin' wasted!

Hey, wait, wait... we're 21 tonight, remember?

-See this? -One, two, three, that's it.

Twe... 21, right there.

You want a hot dog? You want a nacho?

You want nacho? Okay.

Cheers, cheers. Good birthday, boys.

-Happy birthday, bro. -Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday, motha... -If we all live long enough

to enjoy it.

Class of 2012!

2012!

Feeling good.

Hey, Jake!

-Yeah? -Hey, foo!

-Hey, Jake! -What?

-Hey... -It's your birthday!

-I know! -Woo!

From Malibu, California!

I don't... I don't feel so good, man.

-Dude! -You alright, man?

-Let's go. -That's disgusting.

2012!

When this footage was screened

for members of the community,

people were shocked 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 of Malibu's youth.

Sympathy for the missing teens

was replaced with disgust for their actions,

with much of the blame and anger being directed

towards the parents,

especially the 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 teens

slowly faded in the community.

It's sad, because that tape did more

to hinder the investigation than it ever did to help it.

People were so excited when it was found,

but it turned out to be the thing

that 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 has 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.

Did you guys eat anything yet?

No, man. Let's get some breakfast.

Let's do Saddle Peak.

-Hell yeah. -Sounds good.

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

There she is.

It's the Saddle Peak Lodge. We're gonna...

...get some brunch, get rid of these hangovers.

So many alcohol.

Come on, Carter!

Until Jake's video camera was found,

this was the last place that the boys had ever been seen.

When investigators interviewed family members and friends,

nobody had a clue as to where the boys were going,

as Jake kept their destination a secret

and wanted 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 gate looks locked.

Is this it?

Yeah.

Yeah, this is it.

-Fuck. -Hey, 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.

I just... I'd probably 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 hippie strength.

No dice.

-The fuck? -Nah.

Fuck. Goddamn it.

Seriously?

Yeah, seriously.

So you got the key for it?

No.

No key.

-So what's the plan? -Uh, looks like we're hiking it.

Where?

To the campsite at the top.

Of that mountain?

It's not like we've got to 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 gonna be that bad.

It'll be a couple hours. I'll be there.

What are we gonna do about the van?

Let's just park it here.

Nobody really comes up here anymore.

Shit's gonna be fine.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, Tyler, make sure everything's locked up, will you?

-Everybody ready? -Let's do this!

All right, let's move.

Oh, shit. Running low on batteries.

Hey, did you bring more?

Yeah, I'm gonna put one in now.

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-grandfather of Jake,

purchased this large estate just before he passed in 1904.

The land has remained in the Torrance family ever since.

-Come on. It's over here. -Yo, what is it?

I don't... I don't know. It's kinda hard to explain.

It's like, uh...

It's a thing. Just come here.

-Oh, sh... -Hurry up.

Hey, watch out through here, dude.

Oh. Yeah.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.

This is actually kinda cool.

Look at this shit. This is fucking weird.

What the fuck is that sh...?

Look at those markings.

Hey, who's buried here?

I don't know, man.

Looks like they were buried here a long time ago, though.

Why the fuck are you stepping on this shit, dude?

Don't step on that grave, it's...

-Is that bad luck? -Yeah, I think it's rude.

Dude, check it out.

There's more?

You ever seen that?

Nah, that's some ancient shit, though.

What do you know about ancient shit?

I don't know. I'm... I'm guessing.

Your mom's some ancient shit.

...we go again. With the mom thing.

That one's small. Looks like a

little kid or something.

Holy shit.

Jake.

Hey, come check this out.

Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck. Shit!

Dude, I almost dropped the fucking camera.

Gotcha, bitch.

That was not funny. Fuck you.

You scream like a little bitch, dude. You should've

-seen your face. -Did you see his face?

-All right, shut up. -Did we get you?

Yeah, I almost dropped the fucking camera.

How deep is that shit, dude?

Fuck me, though.

Deep enough for you. Push him in.

Push him in.

Burial locations like this

are reserved for chiefs, shaman,

and the tribe's most decorated warriors

so that their spirits could easily

reconnect back to this realm.

What's that down there?

What?

Down there.

Where?

What is it? Is that a cave?

-Cave? -I don't know.

Come on.

Hurry the fuck up.

Come on.

It was hard as fuck getting down that

steep-ass hill.

What?

Fuck me.

-Ugh! -It is a cave.

These caves were scattered up the coast

and primarily used as ritual sites

by the local shaman,

but mostly forgotten about

until being rediscovered in the 1970s.

They were labeled historical landmarks,

yet this one is not registered and does not appear on any maps.

In fact, this cave doesn't even appear

on any of the county land records.

-Holy fuck. -This is...

fucking cool, man.

You didn't tell me your grandparents

had a cave on their land.

Yeah, they used to tell me about it when I was little,

but I've never seen it before.

-Holy shit. -That's sweet.

I didn't know it was that close to the campsite.

These look just like the markings from the rock graves.

Shit, they do.

Look at that.

-Strange, right? -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. Hold on.

Dude.

I guess there's a bunch of caves

and rock structures like this all the way up the coast

as far as, like, 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 vision 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 weed,

which is like a super potent hallucinogenic weed.

They got them really fucked up,

like, to the point where they would

receive visions from the spirit world.

-Shit. -You gotta have your cousin

-get us some of that. -Uh!

Fat ounce.

Okay, oh, see. Check it out.

They would paint on the walls and ceiling

using a mixture of minerals and animal blood

-Damn. -to describe the visions

they were having during the quest.

-Crazy. -That's pretty cool.

Yeah, this is fucking cool.

Hey, Carlos.

Come in here and check it out.

Fuck you guys. I'm good, dude. I'll...

I'll check it on the video later on or something.

Pussy.

There's some pretty trippy shit happening here.

Another name for Jimson weed

is the devil's weed or the devil's trumpet.

Some say that when the shamans would open these portals

to these sacred realms,

it allowed evil spirits with supernatural powers

to cross over and bring a horrible death

to all those who encountered it.

Like skin-walkers,

who had the ability

to steal the skin and absorb themselves

into the human body.

Fuck you, you asshole.

Fuck this noise. I'm out of here.

Come on, man.

Damn, you really pissed him off.

Pussy.

-Alright. Yeah. We should, uh... -It's kinda cool.

We should probably get up to the campsite.

Got a lot of shit to set up and burn daylight.

All right. But, promise me one thing.

-Yeah, what's that? -We're smoking a fat

joint in here on the way back through 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 or 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 forth

between the realms of the living and the dead,

and that spirits from the other side

could be called into our world.

Occasionally, when these gateways were opened,

unwanted spirits could cross over.

Usually, they were just harmless entities.

But sometimes, an evil or malevolent spirit

would cross over into our world,

terrorizing all who encountered it.

Almost there. Can you feel it?

-No? -No, I can't feel it.

I can't feel my feet.

I can't feel nothing.

Right... 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. It's peak!

-It's beautiful, huh? -Yeah!

This is fucking awesome.

Beautiful. God-damn.

-Oh, my God, man. -Look at this shit.

You know, I know I... I bitched a lot, but this is worth it.

All right, guys, we got like 45 minutes

till the sun do... goes down, so we gotta...

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've been a very significant place

for the natives who once called this home.

But sadly, we have uncovered disturbing evidence

of a gruesome event that 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 worked for William J. Torrance

that described the brutal execution

of more than 20 Native Americans.

They then proceeded to burn the bodies

and bury the remains in a nearby cave

to cover up any trace of the murders.

Jake, I think I see a deer down here.

Hold on!

Hey, where's that rifle at?

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

Hurry up!

Where are you?

I'm down here!

Man, this tent is fucked.

Are you serious right now?

Yeah, for real.

Hey, you know what? Let's just take a break, dude.

I'm tired of this bullshit-ass hike.

I'm down.

Oh, fuck.

Some white people shit, bro.

I know. Ty made it look so easy.

Oh, just what I needed.

Oh.

Man, you know what, now?

What are you doing?

Hell, yeah, you know.

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

Wait, wait, wait.

Ew.

Bingo, motherfucker!

Dude, those look nasty.

-Holy shit. -Oh...

-Smell that shit. -Ugh, that's disgusting.

Dude, what kind of muffins are these?

-Fucking rotten. -What the hell would Ty

-pack rotten muffins? -Maybe he left it in his bag

from the last time he went camping.

-Fuck it. -I wouldn't touch those

if I were you.

They don't smell that bad, bro.

-Here. -Oh, you must be hungry.

Wow, are you serious?

Disgusting. How'd they taste?

-Good. ...one? -I'm good.

-Come on, try it. -I'm good, dude.

How the hell did you fuck this up so bad?

I don't know, dude. I followed the instructions

that came with it.

Yo, 'Los, you alright?

Hey, guys, check him out.

Oh, come on.

Is it hot out here?

Dude, you're drenched.

You okay, man?

I'm not feeling too good.

Just had this...

...overwhelming warmness come over me.

You... You guys ever feel that?

I mean, it is kind of hot out. If that's what you're implying.

It's probably the beer.

He's been pounding that shit all day.

What the fuck?

-Fuck. -Oh, shit.

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

-They were rotten. -Muffins?

Yeah, he had some muffins out of your bag.

-My muffins? -Oh, shit.

Fucking shit. How many did he eat?

Oh, I don't know. How many, 'Los?

-Did you eat one? -Hell no, those things

-smell like shit. -Did you?

No, I... I thought we were saving those for tonight.

Why the fuck would we save those?

'Cause they're slam-packed, full of shrooms, man.

We were all going to trip tonight.

We didn't know that.

Ugh!

-Whatever man. -I packed six,

so he must 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 puking, get it all out.

No, once that gets into your system

and it breaks down, it becomes psilocybin.

That's the point of no return.

How long ago did he eat them?

I don't know, probably like

30 minutes ago, maybe longer.

He's so fucked.

Ty, it's okay.

It's really not okay.

Dude, you all right? You get it all out?

Fuck, what are we gonna do?

Look, let's just...

let's just build a fire before it gets too dark.

We can set him up in his tent. It's gonna be fine.

Give him some water. Come on.

Carter, give him some of this.

Come on, dude. Get up, get up, get up.

You're all right, you're all right, you're all right.

-I got this. -Stay the fuck out of my backpack.

As night falls, the situation

continues to get worse.

The drugs have fully taken effect,

and Carlos's behavior can be seen

becoming more erratic and volatile.

-'Los! 'Los! -Carlos!

What the fuck is this shit?

-Oh, God! -Where are you going?

-Hey, hey, hey, hey! -Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

-Ow! -You okay?

What the fuck is that shit, man?

What are you talking about?

You guys see that shit?

What is what?

What are you talking about, 'Los?

What the fuck?

-You see anything? -See what?

Let's just go back to the camp.

There's nothing there, man.

There's fuck...

Investigators didn't think that this footage

was of much significance in solving the overall case.

But Paranormal Files has made

a startling discovery that changes everything.

After careful examination,

it seems there actually was something in the trees,

as Carlos had stated.

Several frames of what appears to be an apparition

were captured by Jake's camera

as he was panning to the treetops,

just when Carlos was beginning to hallucinate.

Had Carlos actually made contact

with something from the spirit world?

Is my lip busted?

Yeah, a little bit.

It's not that bad.

I just blew something.

Hey, is he gonna be all right?

Fuck him.

Yo, he needs help.

Can we call someone,

like a park ranger or a rescue team,

like a helicopter's out here?

I told you, we lost reception when we hit the mountain.

-Fuck. -Guys, he'll be fine.

He just needs to sleep it off.

-...get back. -Whoa, whoa.

-Fuck, dude. -What?

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... There's nothing in the trees.

You just ate some mushrooms

and you thought you saw something. It...

It's all just a hallucination, okay?

-It's fine. It's fine. -Fuck, dude.

-I know what I saw. -'Los.

Something's out there.

-It's fine, man. -What's happened to me?

Guys, he sounds pretty serious.

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

You remember how far we came today?

It is pitch black right now.

We would get lost if we tried to hike back.

Dude, what the hell are we supposed to do?

Eh... he'll be fine. We just...

He just needs to sleep it off.

Tyler was right.

-Hey, are you good, bro? -Where you going?

To go get more firewood.

-It'll be a long night. -Fuck.

Carter, go with him.

This shit is crazy, dude.

I'll babysit 'Los.

Let's get the hell out of here, man.

It's... It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. Just get some sleep.

It's gonna be all right.

Oh, there's that light.

Oh, man.

This looks creepy.

What the hell is 'Los staring at?

Jake!

Yeah?

Come here now.

Uh... What is it?

I... I don't know.

J... We found something.

Okay.

Um, 'Los, I've got to go check this out.

Hurry up!

Holy fuck, that's a bone.

Yeah, no shit.

Looks like a femur.

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

Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck.

I think this is my grandparents.

How?

Yeah, didn't you guys have like a funeral

a couple summers back or something?

Uh, it... 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

kept to 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

and didn't survive it.

It's alright.

What the fuck?

So you figured it would be safe if we came up here.

This is some information you should've told us

before you brought us up here, dude.

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

-Fun. -I mean, since nobody came up here anymore,

we had the whole mountain to ourselves.

This... This is fucked up, okay?

What if whatever killed your grandparents is still out here?

-It probably is. -Alright, we've got the rifle.

-We're fine. -Fuck the rifle.

-God... -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 in the morning, alright?

You'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 ago?

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 off the search after only three days.

Soon after, authorities declared the couple deceased.

They weren't the only Torrance's 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 us.

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!

Anyone see him?

-Carlos! -Oh, shit, dude, be careful.

-Hey, watch out. -Fuck, dude.

-You okay? -Yeah, I'm good.

This is crazy, guys.

'Los!

Carlos!

Damn. I'm not going down there, dude.

-Come on, we... we gotta check it out. -No, fuck that.

-Jake. -We have to. Come on.

-Are you sure? -Yes, I'm sure.

Come on.

Come on.

'Los?

Carlos?

'Los?

Carlos, you in there?

Carlos?

Fuck, it's dusty.

Can't see shit.

Carlos!

-Fuck. -Damn it.

Where the fuck is he?

This is fucking...

'Los!

Holy shit!

-Fuck. -God damn it.

Fuck me. Oh, 'Los, - Oh, my God.

-You scared the shit out of me. -Jesus Christ.

'Los, come on, stop playing. Let's go.

-Carlos. -Come on, dude.

Where's your shirt?

He's not moving.

'Los, come on. Le... Let's go back to camp.

Shut the fuck up.

-What the... -Listen.

What the fuck is that?

What the fuck is going on?

What the fuck was that?

You see anything?

Holy shit!

Oh, my God.

What the fuck is happening?

Look at 'Lo...

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've 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 would 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 crumble.

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 learn 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,

looking for 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 across in our research.

On day two, we were ready

to make our first attempt at contact.

So, what'd you think?

It was... It was amazing.

The editing's fantastic.

You did... 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.

You know, I... I wanna 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.

I'm gonna hit the sack.

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

Yeah. Good night.

Good night.

Josh.

Josh.

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

Matt, get up.

What is it?

Matt, come on.

Oh, God.

Ashley, come on.

Matt.

-What is it? -Just sit down.

You guys have to see this.

-Matt! -Oh, yeah.

This better be important.

It was the best sleep I've had 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 glance, I could see why.

Yeah, so?

Well, then I checked the files' metadata,

and I found the error logs,

which 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

through my repair software?

Yeah, it's just about finished.

Holy shit.

Oh, shit! Oh!

What the fuck was that?

Uh, it can't be real.

-Jess, play that back. -Yeah.

Oh, shit! Oh!

Step through that.

What the hell is happening?

Holy shit.

That's Carlos.

Oh, my God.

It's inside him.

What is it?

-Tyler was right. -What?

It's a skin-walker.

But I... I thought those could only possess animals.

Well, not always. I... I mean, in rare cases,

they can possess people, too.

Jess, where's my research bag?

It's in the back.

Look.

Okay.

Rare and extremely dangerous,

these skin-walkers 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. Carlos was 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 its victims before killing them.

Shit.

It's like a living conduit.

I can't believe this is real.

Alright, let's just keep watching and see what happens.

Okay.

Here it goes.

Holy shit!

Oh, my God!

What the fuck is happening?

Look at 'Los!

Oh, shit! 'Los! 'Los!

'Los! 'Los! No! No!

Go, go, go, go!

What the fuck is that?

Oh, my God!

No!

Oh, my God!

Carter!

-Help! -Carter!

Carter!

Cut the light, cut the light.

This is fucking crazy. This is...

What the fuck...

What the fuck was that?

Help! Help me!

Carter?

Fuck. He's still alive.

We gotta help him.

I'm not going out there.

Whatever that was, it's not

from here, okay?

Going back out there is a fucking death trap.

Carter's gonna fucking die if we don't help him, dude.

Do you get that?

Fuck this.

I'm gonna go get him.

Goddamn it. Jake!

Carter?

Carter?

Alright, you see anything?

No.

Carter?

He can't be far. He sounded close.

He's gotta be in the cave.

Carter?

Carter?

Carter.

Oh, fuck.

Carter?

What the fuck?

-Shit! -This is insane.

What the fuck am I watching?

Oh, my God! What do I do?

Go! Run! Run! Tyler, run!

-What the fuck! -Jake!

What was that?

What was that?

Jake! Come on!

Carter, no!

-Jake! -Go!

Tyler, run!

-What the fuck was that? -Jake!

-Jake! -Why did it take his heart?

It's his soul.

Look.

When it kills an enemy, it devours their soul,

negating any afterlife and preventing the spirit

from taking revenge.

Fuck! Tyler, where are you?

No, no, no, no.

Tyler, I need your flashlight.

It's not real. It's not 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.

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

I almost got it.

Let's see. It's right at us.

Got it.

Oh, fuck! Run!

-Run, Jake! Oh, my God! -Go!

What the fuck is this thing!

Run, Jake! Oh, my God!

This isn't happening.

Fuck this.

This is some seriously demonic shit.

We gotta get the fuck out of here.

Tyler, Tyler!

No, Tyler, say something!

Tyler! Tyler!

Please, say something.

What the fuck is happening?

What's ha...

Tyler!

Tyler, say something!

Tyler!

Tyler. Tyler.

'Lo... 'Los! 'Los!

'Los, what are you doing?

Let's get out of here, 'Los. Let's go, let's go! 'Los!

'Los, what are you doing? No!

No! 'Los!

'Los!

'Los! 'Los!

What... Oh, fuck, Tyler.

'Los!

Oh, shit.

I gotta get out!

Help!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

No. No.

Fuck.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What...

Oh, what happened?

I don't know. My computer's frozen or something.

We gotta get out of here.

-What? -We thought we knew

what we were dealing with, but this is something different.

Yeah, I mean, for all we know, that

thing could still be out here.

Don't you get it? It always has been.

I... 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 land.

You guys saw what it did to Carlos.

But... no... none of us took any drugs.

How could we get possessed?

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

We invited it in.

We are the flesh of the willing.

If it gets control over one of us,

there's no telling what it's gonna turn into next.

Oh, fuck that.

-Who's got the keys to the Jeep? -I do.

Uh... Guys, this sounds so crazy.

No, what's crazy is that video we just watched

of a kid getting possessed by an evil spirit

and ripping his friend's hearts out.

Look, I say we get the fuck out of here, all right?

Let's grab the laptop and 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... and call someone.

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

Isn't there anything we can do to send it back?

Only a shaman can close the gateway.

So the only thing that we need to focus on right now

is getting out of here as fast as we can.

-Guys? -What?

Come on.

Stop.

You guys have to see this.

Go grab the film roll.

Did you see anything?

No.

Oh, shit.

Shit.

Get away from the tent.

Shit.

What do you got, man? Nothing?

No, nothing, nothing.

Ashley!

Ashley!

Ashley!

Ashley!

I can't see anything.

Ashley!

Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

-Fuck. -Ashley!

No, Matt, wait!

-Matt! -Matt!

Matt, come back!

Fuck!

-What the fuck! -Why is this happening?

-Fuck. -t's too dark.

Matt!

Fuck.

Ashley!

Hey, hey, take this.

Okay, let's go.

-Matt! -Ashley!

Fuck.

Guys?

Matt?

Jess?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

Guys?

Somebody!

Hello?

Matt.

What was that?

I'm picking something up on the thermal.

See?

Who is that?

Oh, my God, I think it's Ashley.

It's Ashley.

Ashley! Oh, my God, are you okay?

Where's Matt?

Ashley?

Ashley!

Oh, shit.

I think that was Matt.

Matt!

Shit.

-Which way do we go? -Uh...

Oh, take this. Um...

You guys go this way, I'll go that way.

We'll cover more ground.

And if you find him first, just...

-just yell out my name, okay? -Okay.

-Go. -Matt!

-Matt! -Matt!

Matt, come on!

Matt!

What the fuck!

Shit.

What the fuck?

Shit.

Matt.

Fuck.

Matt.

Matt, Matt, is that you?

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, no.

Who is that?

Matt?

Matt!

Where the fuck did it go?

Shit.

Ashley?

Jess?

Where are you guys?

What the fuck?

Ashley!

Fuck.

I see you. I know you're in here.

Shit.

-Ashley! Matt! -Did you hear that?

-No! -Josh?

Come on.

They're here.

Josh!

Matt!

Where are you?

Matt!

Fuck!

Oh...

Oh, shit.

Matt?

They were here.

What the hell?

We must have taken a wrong turn back there.

We just made a complete circle.

How is that possible?

Matt?

Josh?

Josh?

Matt?

Who's there?

Josh?

Is that you?

Fuck.

What was that?

Shit.

Matt!

Matt!

Ashley!

Ashley.

Ashley.

Ashley, come on.

Ashley, please, please.

Ashley, come on.

Come on.

Wake up, come on.

We gotta... We gotta get you out of here.

Ashley.

Ashley.

Ashley, come on.

Come on.

Matt?

Matt.

Ashley.

Ashley. Oh, my God, you're okay.

Come on.

It's time to go. Come on.

Come on.

Josh?

Josh?

Josh?

Josh!

Josh?

Josh!

Jo...

Josh.

Jo...

Ashley?

Ashley?

Ashley. Wake up.

We gotta go.

How'd we get back here?

Fuck, I gotta get out of here. Fuck.

Oh, my God.
