Devil's Tree: Rooted Evil Page #4

---

Honest answer.

All right, we'll talk soon.

Okay.

Hey, listen.

Whatever it is, I'm

sure it's not something

we haven't dealt with before.

Okay.

(engine starting)

(dramatic music)

(knocking)

[Rob] What, Sam?

You're not

answering your phone.

Let me in.

(sighing)

Hey, man, talk to me.

I really don't

know what to say.

I'm questioning everything

in my life right now.

This tree thing has

been really weird.

I have no idea what

that dream was about.

And why the hell do I

have this mark on my arm?

Listen, I don't blame you.

This whole thing is nuts.

Not to mention the

story's pretty much f***ed

and all I want to

know is what the hell

is happening at that damn tree.

(sighing)

I just feel terrible I got

you involved in all this.

No, don't.

It's just (sighing),

last night was so real.

It was like I was there.

And honestly, do you think

that old man killing himself

was just a coincidence?

(sighing)

Did you go see that survivor

of that satanic sh*t?

Yeah.

Her mom told me the

story of what happened.

The girl really couldn't talk.

It was horrifying.

This just keeps gettin' worse.

I mean, what?

Did Satan plant

the tree himself?

What the f***?

Hey, listen.

Today after talking to you,

I contacted this paranormal team

and this guy drove up from

Miami and met me at the tree.

Today?

[Samantha] Yeah.

Well, what happened?

It was just me and him

and he brought a few

pieces of equipment

and we tried communicating

with whatever's there.

I can't believe you.

Did anything communicate

with you guys?

We think we heard the boy.

Anything else?

Not really.

What's not really?

Either you did or you didn't.

Well, I mean there was

a sound that came through,

but we really couldn't

make out what it was.

What kind of sound?

A grumble.

You mean a growl!

Probably the same one I

heard in my dream last night.

What did the paranormal guy say?

He agreed to talk to his

team and come back and help.

He said he'd probably be

up in the next day or so.

Listen, you don't have

to do anything anymore.

I'm sorry I got you

mixed up in all this.

The town is right.

They need to cut down that tree!

Maybe they should.

Just not before I

go back there again.

I hope these guys can help.

Anyways, I'm gonna go home.

I, ah...

I need to pack and stuff.

Call me if you need me.

Hey.

[Samantha] Yeah?

Just let me know when

those guys call you back.

No, Rob, you don't have to.

It's fine.

No, I want to.

Just let me know

when they're comin'.

I will.

How do you explain the

rise in the alternate press?

Who are they speaking to?

You?

Someone in Oklahoma?

Someone you trust?

(phone ringing)

Hey, Jason.

Okay, yeah.

Tomorrow, 6:
00pm?

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

(phone ringing)

[Rob] Hey.

[Samantha] He called.

He and his team

will be at the park

tomorrow at 6:
00pm.

Okay, I'll be there.

(dramatic music)

[Jason] All right, we're here.

Ready to do this?

I think so.

We're all set, right?

We are.

Hey, I'm Jason.

[Rob] Hey man, Rob.

Good to meet you.

[Rob] Yeah.

Guys, this is Gloria.

She's our medium.

She'll be hopefully

communicating with

whoever's at this location.

And this is Kevin.

He's our tech specialist.

Pretty much our gear expert.

Hi.

Guys, this is

Samantha and Rob.

All right, we ready go in?

[Samantha] Let's do it.

Shall we?

All right, Kevin, when

we get to the tree,

let's set up the full

spectrum along with

the SLSX cam, okay?

And let's see if we can

capture anything visually.

Was getting full EMS

spikes off the tree.

You got it.

Should I set up a thermal?

Yeah, I think you should.

And Gloria, see what

you feel at first,

but keep it to yourself, okay?

I want to try to use some

of the equipment to start.

No problem.

I can tell you right now

there are a lot of eyes on us.

What, right now?

Yeah, I can't tell

who they are yet,

but they're watching us.

I think it's just up

this way a little bit.

Right, Samantha?

Yeah, up the path

just a little further.

Where did you find

these guys again?

(soft dramatic music)

Sam.

Remember what we heard

through the box the other day?

The growl?

[Samantha] Yeah.

I know that was

alarming to you,

but try and check your

fear when we're doing this.

So if you are scared,

which is normal,

negative entities

feed off of it.

Gives them power.

[Samantha] Makes sense.

I think that's a little

easier said than done, though.

I, I know it is,

but it's important.

All right, I got my handheld

and sticks over there

in case I need it.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

Let me see.

Wonder if I can get

that in night vision.

Nice.

All right, we're

all set here, Jason.

Just need to format

one of the SD cards,

but that should only

take a few minutes.

Okay, well let's all have

a seat around the lantern

and we'll get ready to begin.

It's scary as f***

out here at night.

I know, but try

and not be scared.

Can't believe I'm out here.

I'm glad you came.

Okay, so let's just

do a quick prayer.

Great spirit in the sky,

we ask for your

care and protection,

and for you to allow us

to be effective tonight

in finding out whatever

it is we need to.

Amen.

[All] Amen.

Jason, I'm just curious.

I never asked you.

What's the craziest

case you've ever had?

There's always one

that sticks out to me.

The Marine.

Absolutely.

What happened with the Marine?

Ah, we still have a few

minutes on that SD card?

We were called to the

home of a US Marine sniper

who had just gotten

back from Afghanistan,

something like his

third tour or something.

And he couldn't have

been a nicer guy,

but when we got

there he told us why

he was so freaked out.

The night before he woke up,

went to his kitchen

to get a drink,

he noticed all of his

dining room chairs

just stacked up one by

one by the front door.

So I asked him if he

suffered from PTSD

or was taking any medications.

I mean, I wasn't trying

to be disrespectful,

but these kinds of

things we need to know.

So he said he wasn't, so

we decided to proceed.

We conducted a walkthrough

and had Gloria tap in to

see what she could pick up.

A foreign man came through.

His name was Abdul.

He proceeded to tell

us that there were

six other spirits there,

all Afghan soldiers that

were killed by our Marine.

I asked them what their

purpose there was.

They said they intended

on exacting revenge

from the soldier for

taking their lives.

I asked them how they

planned to do it.

And they said that

they're gonna drive

the soldier insane

to the point that he

would commit suicide.

It was at that point a loud

voice came over the box

and screamed,

"Death to you all."

From there we decided

to do a full cleanse,

but ah, it wasn't easy.

And we were there all night.

We had our bodies scratched.

Gloria got unbelievably sick.

And all of our equipment

was malfunctioning,

but somehow we pulled through

and hours later we were

able to cleanse the home.

Wow, that is insane.
