What the f***...

are you...

Guys?

Hey, hey, boy.

I love this game.

Gotcha!

Where would I hide?

Where the f*** are they?

Found you.

Guys?

Ben was here.

Do you want my autograph?

I was just here.

OK the creek is on...

No, it's to the left.

Hang on. Train tracks are

back there, so...

There they are.

Guys!

Whoa.

Who the f*** set this off?

OK, I came from this way,

and I came back...

I came back around...

Sh*t I'm lost.

This f***ing thing.

Robin, your flashlight

is a piece of sh*t.

What the f*** is that?

What the f***?

God.

What the f*** is that?

Holy sh*t.

Nightlight!

Guys?

Are you up here?

Guys?

F***.

How far down is that?

Ben?

Ben!

Is that my flashlight?

How long have we been walking?

Why would he

leave my flashlight here?

Because he's being Ben.

So what?

He's messing with us?

You know... What was that?

Maybe he found Chris and Amelia.

He probably found

them f***ing in the woods.

Let's go, Nia.

What if he's hurt?

Let's keep going.

This is freaking ridiculous.

I got stuck with you.

People go out here all the time,

and they don't come back.

You don't actually believe

those stupid stories do you?

No, Nia.

I want to make sure

that Ben is not hurt.

Are you coming or not?

Robin?

Did you really know

the boy who died here?

His name was Ethan.

Do you ever wonder if he...

actually meant to kill himself?

Look, I'm leaving Ben's

light so I can find my way back.

OK, good for you.

I need you to wait for me,

because I don't know how to get

out of the woods from here.

Yeah, OK. We'll see.

I am serious.

- OK.

- I am serious.

OK.

- OK?

- OK.

Thank you.

Ben?

Is everything cool?

Ben, is everything cool?

I'm so worried about you.

B*tch.

Ben.

Why did I have to

get stuck with Nia?

Ben?

Chris!

Hello?

Ben!

Ben!

Ben.

Sh*t, I've been looking

everywhere for you.

Look, Nia is waiting

for us, so we should...

We should go... back...

Wait, Ben...

Where you going?

Ben?

Ben, stop f***ing with me...

What the f***?

I just want this night be over.

F***. Come on.

Come on, come on, you

stupid f***ing flashlight.

Just...

Oh, God damn it.

Just for once...

You piece of sh*t.

Ben?

Crosses.

F***...

Jesus, you scared

the sh*t out of me.

Very funny.

Guys, what the f***?

I am done playing Nightlight.

This is bullshit.

Ha ha, you guys

are so hilarious.

There's no way

I'm going in there.

I am not going in there!

Ben?

Very funny guys.

Pick on the new girl.

I can hear you.

Guys?

This isn't real.

They're just f***ing with you.

They're just f***ing with you.

Just keep going.

It's just them.

They're right there.

Guys?

What the f*** is that?

It's a dead end.

How did Ben's flashlight

get back here?

God, what am I doing here?

I just want to go home.

OK, I know there has

to be another tunnel.

There's no way they

got out of here

unless there's another tunnel.

Where would it be, though?

I should never have come

here for a stupid boy.

Somebody help!

Help.

Oh my God. Oh my...

What the f*** is happening?

Guys! Nia!

What the f*** just happened?

Ben!

Kramer! Kramer?

Kramer come here.

Come on Kramer.

Come on boy. We gotta go.

Kramer.

Kramer come.

Kramer.

Kramer.

OK come on.

Kramer, come right now.

No! No, Kramer.

No!

Kramer. Bad dog!

Come back here.

Kramer!

Kramer let's get out of here

now!

No... Ow.

Kramer.

Kramer.

Kramer.

- Run!

- I can't...

Run to the church.

- Run!

- I can't...

I can't run.

I can't run. I'm hurt...

Chris, wait.

Nia?

Nia, wake up.

Nia, stop. I know

you're not possessed.

Nia.

Chris!

Chris, I found Nia.

Nia. I can do this...

Please...

Why won't you wake up?

Goddamn.

I can't f***ing do this.

What?

I said that I guarantee

Robin won't admit

she got an afterschool job

- because she's f***ing - insecure.

- Oh my God.

Oh, and she tries too hard.

- Such a f***ing loser.

- She tries way too hard.

So insecure.

And so...

Robin,

Why did you leave me?

Nia, this isn't

where I left you.

I left you with Ben's light,

and I found it in a

f***ing cave.

I saw somebody that wasn't you.

I was waiting for you.

What are you talking about, Nia?

What is wrong?

I heard you yell

my name and I...

You wouldn't wake up

you were passed out.

What the f*** is going on?

And then Chris runs off.

He was scared.

Maybe something

happened to Amelia.

They're at the church.

I'm serious. Robin.

No, Nia, I'm not going to

f***ing church.

F***. We bought a bunch of

fake blood and...

Nia, are you

even f***ing listening me?

Chris and me were going to

pretend to be dead.

I almost died.

You weren't in that cave.

You don't know

what I just f***ing saw.

This whole forest

is a graveyard.

It was just a joke.

There are crosses everywhere.

I'm sorry, Robin.

I don't know what to say.

We're a**holes.

Whatever.

Let's just get out of here.

Nia?

Nia?

Why am I so tired?

Nia, I feel sick.

It's them!

Is Ben still hiding?

Hey! Ha ha.

Good morning.

- Flashlight's here.

- Hey!

They're f***ing with us.

What?

What the f***?

- They're asleep.

- No, they...

F*** they're burning up.

All right.

Um... um...

All right. Um...

Help!

Help us!

Help!

Help!

Fire!

Fire?

They say that when you're being

raped that you should yell fire,

because no one comes

when you yell help.

Fire!

But you're not being raped.

Chris.

Fire!

Fire!

- Rape!

- Fire!

Time out!

OK. I'm going to

look for my battery.

No no no...

I know where it is.

Then we'll call for help.

Who are you going to call?

Please don't set me up

like that in a haunted forest.

No. Chris.

Nia. OK.

Wake up, please.

Please please please.

Robin? Come on.

I'm getting the f***

out of here.

Nia.

Nia.

Nia, we passed out.

What's wrong with us?

Where are we?

Your name is written

in this tree.

How long have we been here?

I don't know, since 10:00.

Why am I so tired?

Did you see this fall?

Let's just leave Chris

and Amelia at the church.

Good. I'm just

happy we're leaving.

F***. What the f***?

Who's f***ing...

What is this? Nia, are you?

What is this?

Nia, are you seeing all this?

What is this?

What is that?

Chris's backpack.

No, don't open

that. Don't open that, Nia.

Wait, Nia... don't

open that.

No wait. Wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

Gross.

Oh, f***.

Do you think he was

running from something?

Where did all this

blood comes from?

Nia.

It's sticky.

Corn syrup?

There's like 20 more

condoms in there.

I think there's lube,

I can't touch this.

See if there's

a map or something.

Here. Hold this.

Covington Woods Ghost wiki...

"Turn your flashlight

off as much possible...

Don't go anywhere

near the forest.

Watch out for wolves

and rattlesnakes."

I didn't know he memorized it.

Maybe it can

tell us how to get out.

At least how to find the church.

The church was built

near the 800 foot crest...

as a safe haven...

last stop for those

considering suicide.

Victims of possession

usually appear drowsy
