Sightings

---

- Sheriff's Department.

- Hello, Donna,

you gotta get somebody

out here to see this.

- Rickey?

- I got somethin' big

out here.

- This better be for real.

- I just finished

tending to the bees

and the yard lights got

triggered and, and--

- Well, where are your dogs?

- There it was.

It was just walkin'

across my yard.

- Okay, now calm down, Rickey.

What was it?

Rickey?

- Oh,

this thing's big, hairy.

Oh.

- Well, you're far enough

out there to get bears.

- It ain't a bear.

Oh man. Oh, gracious.

Oh, oh, oh.

- Rickey, what's happening?

- Oh, this thing's

a big old boy.

- Is it a man?

- Oh man. Oh man.

Get somebody out here

to see this.

- Rickey, what's going on?

- He's starin' at me.

I didn't expect to see you.

- What do you got this

time, Rickey?

- Well, it's done gone now.

Steered clear of the garden.

Ran out that way.

Your way, towards the ranch.

- Well,

I don't see any tracks.

- I think they might

be light on their feet.

I found both my dogs

in the field yesterday

and they'd been skinned,

like a doctor with a scalpel.

I figured it was

extraterrestrials comin' down

to do their experiments on the

dogs' fur,

but after what I seen

tonight, explains it.

- It was probably

just a wild animal got 'em.

- I'd tell ya exactly

what it was,

but you wouldn't wanna hear it.

- You'll be all right.

Oh, you don't have to worry

about 'em

sending me out anymore.

Tonight was my last night.

Waste of a call.

- Often

times it takes tragedy

to bring out the best in people.

Chris Fox, KRLB News.

- With Alfred

Hitchcock

the subject of this

evening.

Is it chance that your

first film

was about murder most foul and?

- I was interested in

the macabre

but I think that was an--

- What?

- House is a mess, dishes

go in the dishwasher,

and apparently you've

forgotten the ice tray rule.

- Happy last day.

- I saw this.

Another rejection?

- It's fine.

I guess I'm just crazy for

wanting to be a writer.

- Hannah, your...

What was it your mom used to

say?

Crazy ones are usually right,

right?

- Don't quote her.

- Well, there doesn't

seem to be a sign of blood

or a struggle or nothin'.

- Yeah, they musta been

dead before they got here.

- Well, no signs of the body

bein' dragged down here.

- Dead bodies just don't

up and move themselves.

- That's true.

- Well, it's a tough first case

for you.

- Hell of a first day off

for you.

- Uh,

Sheriff Mayfield?

- Yeah, I think I

wanna work with cattle

instead of people from now on.

- Ooh, real dream

come true for ya, huh?

- It's just Tom now.

This is Deputy LeMoine.

He's gonna be your lead officer.

- Howdy.

- We'll examine further,

but I thought I'd go ahead and

show ya.

The bones have

some simple fractures,

but the internal organs have

been completely removed.

- Mm-hm.

You ain't gotta show me

everything, now.

- I'm wondering how long

they've been here like this.

- We should know

from the autopsy.

- There's Hannah.

- You might wanna

take her outta here.

- The cuts

are very clean and precise.

- Clearly, mm-hm.

- I'm tryin'

to figure out what...

- You don't need to be

seein' this.

- Dad, cut it out.

- And Hannah, I'm goin'

into town to talk to a guy

about a security system for

the perimeter of the property.

Why don't you come with me?

- Used to you woulda

just told Mom

we could handle ourselves.

- You're just gonna have

to turn those pictures

over to the investigation.

- They're public record.

I need visuals for my article.

- You're not gonna

write about this, Hannah.

- The Thorndale Champion

rejected my last article

because they said it

wasn't personal enough.

Well, Dad, three dead bodies on

our ranch

is pretty personal.

- I wanna come out to

your ranch

and inspect the fence line

to calculate

how many alarm censors we'll

need to secure the area.

- When can you come?

- First thing tomorrow?

- All right.

- Thank you for choosing

Nagi Security, Mr. Mayfield.

- Yeah.

- Sheriff, can I ask you a few

questions?

Do you have any comments

about what's happened here

on your property?

Is there any reason to

believe we are in danger?

- All right look, I am no longer

the sheriff of Thorndale

so if you're worried

about your safety or bein'

protected

from whoever did this, that

just ain't my job no more.

- Dude, you guys have

got some serious crazy

doggie doo-doo goin' on

out here.

- What do you want?

- I wanna talk to you

and Hannah.

Somehow what I saw the

other night's got something

to do with what's in your woods.

- Rickey, I don't wanna hear

any ideas

about all this, all right?

- Lily always heard me out.

She was always listened.

- Yeah, well last I looked

Lily ain't around here

anymore now is she?

- And now whose fault is that?

- She left us, Rickey.

- Listen, I don't care what

you think about my theories,

but don't you think bad

about her.

- You know what, you

need to get outta here.

- Hey, Hannah.

- Hey.

Grandma's on the phone for you.

- I'll call her later.

- Hey, so listen, there's

something I brought for ya.

I been growin' these.

They help protect ya.

- A plant?

- Now, the truth here is plain.

The Canadians,

they call it windego.

Them Aussies,

they call it a yowie.

Around these parts, pretty

much just call it Bigfoot

and I think we got ourselves

a big old hairy mean one.

Now that there's the reality,

all right?

In India they got them villages

and they're usin' this plant

to repel Rhesus monkeys

so I figured it'd work on the

old North American ape, too.

Now listen, Hannah here is

the only piece of Lilian

that we got left,

so why don't you

protect your daughter better

than you did your wife.

- You kidding me?

Here.

- I don't want it.

- What's this?

- Me being productive.

- I told you not

to write about this.

- Dad, I might get published.

- Yeah, that's

what I'm worried about.

- I suspect every

third post'll do.

You want us to include

the feature

that alerts the authorities?

- No, I just want a warning.

I can take care of myself

from there.

- Okay.

I'll get my brothers out here

and we'll start installing

the perimeter.

200 acres?

All right, that's like a post

every...

That's like 3,331 square feet.

- Hi.

- Can I help you, ma'am?

- Yes, is this the

Haggard ranch?

- Who's asking?

- I'm sorry, my apologies.

My name is Rebecca Otis.

- Yeah, I'm sorry,

I'm not talkin' to reporters,

ma'am.

- No, I'm actually more of a

researcher.

- Well, even moreso.

I can't help you, ma'am.

- Look, I have a theory of where

those three women came from.

Look, please forgive me

for my unwelcome arrival.

It's just in my line of work I

don't have

the luxury of giving

advance notice.

I just learned of these

events late yesterday

and I came here all through

the night from Kansas.

So, by researcher what I

specifically mean

is I'm a cryptozoologist

and a conspirologist

so I travel the world studying

a variety of phenomenon
