Hey, that's the deal if you want us

to show you where we found it.

Is it okay if we talk

a little in private real quick?

Well, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Sure, go ahead.

- What do you think?

- No.

Well, don't we need them to show us

exactly where they found the tape?

Yeah.

Yeah, but I didn't think they'd

want to stick around after that.

Well, they didn't exactly make it

sound like we have an option.

What are you bragging about?

This guy really crack me up.

We made it.

- Yeah.

- Alright, Lisa.

Babe, what the hell

do you have in here?

It's heavy.

Lisa.

And Ash, I'm going to

give you the headlamp.

Okay.

It's cool if we leave

our cars here?

Yeah.

It's fine, they're safe.

No one comes out this way.

I'm already hungry.

Yeah.

I can eat.

Eat all these granola bars,

you'll like that.

Hey, what do you thing

they're smoking up there?

Definitely bath salts.

- You know what?

I'm going to go ask.

- Wait.

Hey, yo.

Darknet666, wait up.

I saw some of your other videos.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, before we came out here.

Saw this one, it was really

interesting where you guys

like found this

little pile of rocks.

Would you stop it.

Symbols.

Symbols, oh they were symbols.

No, no, no, seriously.

So, do you guys really believe

all these old stories?

I mean, someone died everywhere

at some point, right?

It doesn't mean every square foot

of this planet is haunted.

Did you grow up here?

- No.

- See, I did.

Talia did.

We both-we both grew up here.

And older folks in town used to talk a lot

about these woods when I was little.

And after his sister and her crew

went missing and her stuff got found,

suddenly everyone I noticed

wanted to forget it.

This area has a history of things happening

that no one really likes to talk about.

Rustin Parr.

Coffin rock.

The list goes on and on.

- Watch yourself.

- Okay.

- Watch your step.

- It goes down here.

Back in the 1940s,

Rustin Parr brought 8 kids

up to his house

in these woods.

He killed 7 of them.

But Parr claimed that he

heard the voice of an old woman

telling him to kill the children.

He would take them up to his attic

and make one stand in the corner

while he killed the other one.

There's been some debate on that

actually where...

whether it was the attic

or the basement.

So he thought he heard the

Blair Witch telling him to kill people.

Well, he never said who its was.

He just said that it sounded

like this voice of an old woman.

They hanged him out in

these woods near his house.

Wait, he got a house out here?

Yeah, but that's not the one

we're looking for though.

Parr's house was burned down

after he was hanged.

Supposedly they found a bunch of

old tunnels and stuff underneath

that didn't go anywhere.

Some kind of...

underground railroad thing I think.

Oh, my back.

Okay.

So, this is uh...

This is technically where

the Black Hills woods start

back when this was private land.

Uh, who owns it now?

No one.

It's the States' I guess.

So, we're not trespassing

or anything, right?

No.

No one cares.

No one living that is.

If we have to go camping

with the locals,

could you please

don't piss them off.

Babe, I didn't say anything,

I didn't say anything.

You don't have to say anything,

Peter, you know that.

Sick.

Sorry.

NO ENTERING AFTER

NIGHTFALL:

This is where we found

the DV tape.

There was nothing else

on the tape?

Like I said, it was all static except

for that bit when we upload it.

Why does that tree

look like that?

Lightning.

Sometimes when it hits the tree,

the electricity goes into the ground

and burns the tree

from the roots up.

.

A girl drown in this creek.

It was around when

Burkittsville was founded.

Her family was doing the washing

and the mother said she saw

a hand reached out of the water

and pulled her daughter in.

Probably the only reason we still

know about this because there are

newspaper articles said

the girl's body was never found.

Are we crossing this?

Oh yah.

- That's not how it is.

- Cool, dude.

- I'm walking across the water.

- That's right.

- Oh.

- That's cold.

Leeches are fine.

What do you mean?

Wait, wait, you said there are leeches?

No, I'm just asking.

Are you coming?

Did you get a pedicure

before you came here?

Yes.

I know.

I know.

You sure this is a good idea?

Would you hold the

camera for me first.

One second, my shoe.

- Oh.

- You alright?

Becareful there.

Ah, that's cold.

- Yeah. I got it. I got it.

- Yeah? Alright.

Careful.

You alright?

Ashley!

Hey, hey, hey.

Come on, come on.

I cut my foot on a rock.

You could see blood.

You will be alright.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

You're alright.

You're alright.

Let me see that foot.

That's better.

You're alright. You're alright. You're alright.

- Is it bad because it looks like it's pretty deep?

- No, it's not bad at all.

I just got to clean it.

Lisa, do you mind getting my first aid kit,

it's in my bag over there.

- Lisa, first aid kit bag, please.

- Oh sh*t, sorry.

- Thank you very much.

- Yep, sorry.

- Lane. Jesus.

- Hey! Hey! Back up!

Back up! Back up!

Back it up! Back it up!

- Get back over there.

- I'll be one more second.

- I swear...

- Alright. Alright.

There you go.

Oh. Oh.

It's okay,

try not to move too much.

It looks like

it's really bad.

No, it feels a lot worse

than that, Ashley, I promise.

- Pressure.

- Ahh.

It's okay. It's alright.

Now I just got to wrap it up

and you could get

to walk on it.

Just bring it around.

There you go.

- Thank you, James.

- No problem, man.

- Okay. Want to try standing up?

- Yeah.

Okay, alright.

Don't put too much pressure on it.

- You ready?

- Two. Three.

There you go.

- You alright?

- Yeah.

- Not so bad.

- Not so bad.

Oh.

Ow.

You okay?

Come to my palace

in the woods.

That's how we roll.

In style and out.

No, that's what I'm trying

to say is um...

Is it...

F***.

- Babe, I got it. I got...

- Babe.

Please let me just put

the tent together, okay!

- I'm just saying that.

- I just need to put the tent together right.

I...

It's not supposed to be bent, I know.

So, you just bend...

Is this supposed to be bent.

This is not the entrance.

That's not.

Well, that's not either.

F***.

F***.

F***. F***. F***.

F*** you.

F***ing tent.

Okay.

I think it's good.

Hey.

I'm going to get some firewood

before it gets totally dark, okay.

Looks like the sun's coming

down pretty quick.

Uh. Well, hold up.

Let's finish this and I'll come with you.

No, man.

I'm not going to far, okay.

I'll keep my camera on.

You can see me on the GPS, alright?

Okay.

Well, take a walkie-talkie with you please.

Man.

Brother, already got one.

- Thank you.

- Yep.

What exactly should

we be looking for?

We're looking for the house

from Heather's footage.

Did you see the...

Do you see any clearing

or anything like that?

I shouldn't take this thing

too much further up, but...

I mean, I don't see anything yet.

- Yeah, that was a good movie.
