Devil's Tree: Rooted Evil Page #3

That was a long time ago.

You're right, you're right.

I'm sorry.

What was your name again?

(sighing)

Darcy.

She's not right, either,

so I'm afraid talkin' to

her won't do you any good.

Well, if I understand

it correctly,

many of the people

involved were never caught.

This report could

lead to closure,

possibly arrests.

You got five minutes.

That's it.

Five minutes.

Thank you.

I think it will really help.

[Darcy] Natalie?

We got company.

Come on in.

(groaning)

[Samantha] Oh, sorry.

Natalie?

This is someone who wants...

Samantha.

This is Samantha.

She wanted to come by

and visit with you.

She's never been the same since.

I hate asking, but

would you be okay

telling me what

happened that night?

She was 17.

Seeing this boy down the street.

To me she was still my baby,

but can't tell a

17-year-old nothin'.

They had went to

the park that night,

where they sat in his truck.

(chuckles)

I'm sure you can figure

out what they were doin'.

That was the moment

everything changed.

When are we gonna be

able to go to your house?

Why do you want

to go to my house?

We always talk about it.

We always talk about

meeting your parents,

always talk ab...

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

They dragged him to that tree

where more of 'em were waitin'.

All in black.

(whimpering)

Like real-life demons.

She was stripped down.

They tied her to

stakes in the ground.

Can you imagine?

(crying)

Apparently they tied

her boyfriend to

some sort of a rack

directly on top of her.

What they did to that poor kid.

Oh my God.

They cut him open

like some animal.

Let him bleed out

onto my baby girl.

(screaming)

What kind of monsters

would do such a thing?

What they did next to her

is nothing short of horrific.

As she lay covered in

this poor kid's blood,

naked,

tied to the ground.

She was then...

(screaming)

Can't even say.

(screaming)

They left her with this

wonderful reminder.

How was she found?

They wrapped her

in a blanket and

dumped her near the parkin' lot.

The park ranger found

her in the mornin'.

When the police went back

to the tree to investigate,

there were no

traces of anything.

Was she immediately like this?

Unable to talk or interact?

No, not immediately.

Slowly over time,

she became more despondent.

She went through all

types of therapies,

but nothin' worked.

I have to ask

you this question,

and it may sound weird but,

did she ever mention

a little boy?

No.

No, she didn't.

Why?

He needed help.

But nobody could help 'em.

Who did, honey?

This boy she's askin' about?

Nobody could help 'em.

(soft dramatic music)

(kitten meowing)

Hey.

Hi.

Watcha doin'?

(water running)

(dramatic music)

(creepy ominous music)

(gasping)

(soft dramatic music)

(metal clattering)

(dramatic music)

Natalie?

What are you doin' up?

What is that?

(knife slicing)

(blood gurgling)

(gasping)

(knife slicing)

(dramatic music)

(body thudding)

(dramatic music)

(blood gurgling)

(soft dramatic music)

Hey!

(soft dramatic music)

Hey!

(growling)

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

[Samantha] Hey,

how you feelin'?

You get any rest last night?

[Rob] Not exactly.

[Samantha] What's the matter?

[Rob] I can't work on

the story anymore, Sam.

Why?

What happened?

[Rob] Last night I

had a terrible dream

and I think it was

whatever's at that tree.

I saw the boy and

some kind of demon.

[Samantha] In your dream?

[Rob] Like I knew

it was a dream,

but somethin' was different,

like it was real

at the same time.

Regardless, I can't

do this story anymore.

It's affecting me too much.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

Wait, I know some weird

sh*t has been happening,

but don't you think it

was just a bad dream?

I have bad dreams all the time.

[Rob] Not like this.

Sam, listen.

I'm sorry.

I gotta go.

(phone beeping)

(soft dramatic music)

Well, the professor says

it's my job to find the truth.

[Man] Hello,

this is Paranormal.

Hi, yes.

My name is Samantha.

Where are you guys located?

[Man] We're

based out of Miami.

Is Port St. Lucie too far?

[Man] Yeah, it just

depends on the case, though.

What's goin' on?

You Samantha?

Jason?

Well, duh, of course it's you.

You ready?

I am.

Just want to thank

you again for coming

on such short notice.

I feel like that was a

really far drive for you.

[Jason] No, it wasn't too bad.

[Samantha] Now you don't

charge people to do this?

[Jason] Nope.

So how are you able

to do this type of work

if you don't get paid?

We all have regular jobs.

We just do this

because we love it

and we want to know the truth.

And we love to help people.

Huh.

Interesting.

Well, this is it.

What do we do now?

[Jason] I'm gonna pull

out one of my meters

and see if there are any spikes,

and I'll also run one

of the ghost boxes

at the same time and see if

anyone can tell us anything.

[Samantha] Okay.

Now you said that you've

captured a little boy

here on camera, right?

Yes, twice.

And also some sort of

black mist on the tree.

Yeah, I'm gonna wanna

take a look at that footage,

if that's possible.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, what do you

think is happening here

based on what I've told you

we've been able to find?

Honestly, I don't know.

But based on what

you've told me,

I'd say some very bad

stuff has happened here.

Over the years with

each happening,

the air's just accumulated

more and more bad energy.

It's almost as if

something or someone

is holding the spirits here

and it's very possible.

Hello.

My name is Jason.

I come as a friend.

Is there anyone who's here

that would like to speak to me?

(static crackling)

I come out of respect and love.

Who's here?

(static crackling)

It may help if you say

something, Samantha.

Sometimes they respond

to different people.

What should I say?

Just ask for someone

to come through.

You said you know

this boy, right?

Ask for him.

Um, there's a boy here

named Benjamin, I believe?

Can I speak to him?

(child talking indiscernibly)

Oh my God, that

sounded like a child.

Yeah, yeah.

And the closer I'm

getting to this tree,

this meter is going up.

That means there's a lot of

electromagnetic energy here.

Look.

Keep going, keep going.

Keep talking.

I think we can hear you.

Can you say something else?

[Benjamin] Samantha.

Yes, I'm here.

I can hear you.

(growling)

Sounds like the boy is here,

but there's definitely something

very nasty here as well.

Did you hear that?

Yeah, let's head

back to the cars.

So I'll head back and talk

to the rest of my team.

I'll give you a call

later and let you know

what night we can come back.

Well, do you think

it's some kind of demon?

I don't like to say

until I know more.

When I come back I'll have

a very powerful medium

and more of my gear.

But yes, it very well

could be a demonic entity.

Let me ask you, what else has

happened regarding this tree

and why are you so

attached to this?

I don't know.

Huh, okay.
