or fall into a

sleep-like state.

Robin, did we fall

asleep on purpose?

We were tired.

Victims exhibit

loss of muscle control

and eye reflex.

All were found to have carved

their name into the forest

before death.

I don't want to

read this anymore.

Remember that creek we crossed?

Maybe if we're really

quietly could hear it.

Sounds travels really

far of night right?

In the mountains...

Robin...

I remember this.

What?

Like deja vu or something.

When we were asleep

I dreamed about this.

I remember...

we were waiting here...

and we couldn't hear the creek.

And I had this awful

feeling in my stomach.

Like I couldn't move.

And...

So I looked to you...

And... you were standing

right over there,

under the fallen tree.

We were terrified.

Why?

Something was following us.

And there was a noise.

Nia?

What happened next?

Your nose started bleeding.

My nose?

It seems fine.

Nia!

- What the f***?

- Are you OK?

Come on...

I want to keep going.

I want to find the creek.

We've been trying to leave.

It won't let us.

Turn off your light.

Where the f*** are you guys?

We're moving in f***ing circles.

I feel like something's

watching us.

What the f*** does this

place want from us?

Let us go.

Let's get the f*** out of here.

It's doing that flicker thing

that Chris was talking about.

No, the batteries are just old.

Well here...

Let me...

It holds the battery

life when you keep it warm.

- Jesus Christ.

- What?

Your flashlight

says Ethan on it?

Yeah?

You brought the flashlight

of your deceased friend

to the haunted forest

where he mysteriously died.

That's not a rational decision.

Neither is fingering

yourself to The Grinch,

but hey, here we are.

You f***ed us.

You know that right?

There's some real Exorcist

sh*t going on here.

The flashlight isn't haunted.

The tooth fairy didn't bring

me Lady f***ing Gaga tickets

when I lost a molar.

I live in the real world Nia.

It's not my fault that

my parents are wealthy.

If anything it was

a stigma I had to overcome.

Oh please.

Why am I holding this?

F*** my life.

Oh my God, I'm still

touching it.

- I don't want it...

- Just give it to me.

I told you.

Didn't tell you,

it's your f***ing friend.

This is bad.

Does this mean there's a

demon or something?

It has motion sensors.

It can't possibly have

electricity are running into it.

How do you know

there's no electricity

running into it?

Dear God, I know I don't

talk to you often, as you know,

But if you could please

watch over me right now.

- Are you kidding me?

- OK us...

- ...bring me into this.

- What?

Just motion sensors.

I'm leaving, I'm leaving,

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to be more honest,

and I'm going to go

to church more often

if I get out of here.

Please, please, please.

I'm sorry that I dropped

out of youth group

Because I thought all

the kids were annoying,

but they were really annoying...

I don't like this.

I don't like it.

I don't like it.

Wait. Listen up.

Listen to me.

This is a good thing.

This means we're getting

out of here.

Maybe I should go back.

That's a horrible idea.

No, no, no, can't

find my camera.

Are you completely

f***ing insane?

It has a strong flash.

We can use it to...

No, we're not going back.

I don't want to be

anywhere near these lights,

And I feel like if

your flashlight dies.

A flash isn't going to help.

F***.

Is there something there?

I don't see anything.

It's getting closer.

- What? is it?

- I don't know.

Run.

We have something following us.

Nia!

Where are you?

Nia.

Where are you?

Nia?

Nia where are you?

Where did you go?

I think it's gone.

Nia? F***.

Nia?

Stop faking.

Wake of Nia, wake up.

It's not funny.

Fine. If you don't

wake up, I'm leaving.

Did you hear me?

I'm going to leave if you

don't stop.

Nia?

F***.

Help us!

Help us!

Help.

You were right.

This was all my fault.

So here is my

embarrassing story.

Sophomore year...

my friend Ethan

asked me to Homecoming.

We went to all the middle

school dances together.

We even got our

picture taken once.

But I was tired of being

the smart girl who

socialized with the uncool.

I wanted to be

pretty and popular.

I wanted to be you.

So I lied.

I lied, and I told Ethan

that I was going

to be out of town.

But I still went...

by myself, and...

as I was waiting

on the bleachers,

praying that Ben

would ask me to dance,

Ethan walked in.

And I didn't know what to do,

Or what he was going

to say when you saw me.

He just smiled...

like everything was OK.

Like he was happy.

That night, Ethan

to Covington... alone.

And he hiked to

the top of the Crest,

and he jumped.

But as soon as

I heard it, I knew.

I knew was because of me,

and I felt so guilty

that I came here,

and I tried to kill myself.

That's when I

found his flashlight.

And I kept it as a reminder.

Ghosts and demons

don't kill people.

People kill people.

Nia.

Nia we have to go. Wake up.

I think it's back.

Ethan.

Don't hurt me.

Nia. We're leaving.

Oh my God.

Thank God. Thank God.

Let me go.

I want to go.

Let me leave!

Thank you, Ethan.

I don't want to be here.

Why am I here?

Kramer.

F***.

Come on, please work.

God damn it.

Kramer,

Kramer. Come here, boy.

Kramer.

OK, Kramer.

Kramer, don't be scared.

My light's not working.

Oh please let this work.

Please look this work.

I just want to get

my dog and go home.

What was that?

Oh God, oh God, oh God.

OK. Just get

to the truck.

It's OK.

OK, Ethan, what

is it that you want?

What do you want from me?

Please start. Please start.

Please... start.

All right, Ethan.

I'm coming.

I'm here.

I'm ready.

Where do you want me to go?

F***. I was scared

shitless waiting for you.

How could you leave

me for that long?

I'm sorry, Amelia.

I couldn't find my phone

battery.

I was looking

for-f***ing-ever.

And then my flashlight died.

Yeah, well it's working now.

This is Robin's.

Where is she?

She wasn't there.

And, I probably should have

turned around and looked.

But...

I'm not leaving

without our friends.

You weren't there.

You didn't see the tree fall.

And there were noises.

I've been hearing

voices up here.

But, maybe

whatever is out there,

isn't trying to hurt us.

You know?

I don't know.

Hey! Your fingers...

Oh f***.

Chris.

I don't know.

We're going to die.

Everything you said

is coming true.

I'm sorry.

Chris...

Tell me what

I can do. Anything.

Just tell me what I can do.

Say a prayer.

OK.

A prayer, OK.

To make me feel better.

Yeah. OK,

uh... uh...

Say the "Our Father" prayer.

Our father...

All right.

Our father...

I don't think I know that one.

Then do the "Hail Mary" prayer.

I don't think I know any of

these prayers.

Oh, um...

Chris. I'm Lutheran.

OK, um...

Hey yo God, if you're listening

It said Amelia and Chris.

If you really exists

Tell her to give me a kiss.

What?

Do you hear that?
