It's generator powered.

It's all independently wired,

and it's set to record 24/7.

Camera one's a wide

shot of the road.

...so we can monitor everyone coming

in and out of the property.

Camera two is wide of the house.

Camera three is of

the Western pasture.

Camera four is of the corral.

Camera five is the barn exterior.

And camera six is inside the barn.

That's it for the exterior cameras.

What happens at night?

They all switch to infrared.

This is the X-ray

I was talking about.

Not really my thing.

Oh, let me see it.

Well, just pass it along.

Thanks.

If I could,

I'd like to propose a toast.

Uh, I just want to, um...

Thank you all for coming up here.

Uh...

Since my boy's been gone...

...the help's been

few and far between.

And I just...

I really appreciate it.

And I want you to know that.

whatever this thing is,

I believe it's still here.

And it's really smart.

As a matter of fact...

I would bet my arm that

it's watching us right now.

So...

Oh, no.

Don't leave me up here.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Where do you want me to go?

Just walk and I'll find you.

Copy.

This is the living room?

Yes.

Say hi to big brother.

Say it.

Hi.

Bedroom one.

Bedroom two.

The dining room.

Kitchen.

Hey, Matt, can you go downstairs

for me, please?

You got it.

Hoyt's room.

Cody's room.

Got the basement.

And this is the old butcher room.

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean...

just the cameras.

And I thought you knew I was here.

It's all right. Just don't

sneak up on people like that.

I know. It was stupid.

I'm sorry.

- All right.

- This works. God damn it, Ray.

The blind spot's going

to be on you, man.

If you guys need to review

any footage, just let me know.

And I'll set it up

right here.

I got motion detectors

across most of the property.

So if something moves,

we're going to know about it.

Also I programmed most of the sensors

to detect only large objects.

I don't want the local wildlife

having us chase ghosts all night.

All right.

August 2nd.

It's my first official night

here at the ranch.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Are you in here

talking to yourself?

Um, no.

Actually it's the camera.

I use it as a video journal.

Oh. What happened to the days

of the mighty pen and paper?

Is that still a thing, or...

Sadly, they are gone.

Hmm. Well, as long as you

don't use this thing.

...for any midnight photography...

Scout's honor.

Oh, good.

- I got that on tape.

- You did.

- And tape.

- Right.

So how long have you known Sam?

A couple months.

Listen, uh, I actually would

prefer this to be off.

It's actually this button.

Well, that is good to know.

What the hell was that?

They're on the roof!

Shh.

What the hell is it?

Is that the...

...shh.

Sh*t.

Oh, my God.

You guys. You guys!

I'll get the ladder.

Careful going up, Britain.

Wait, Lisa, what...

Matt, don't.

Rabies.

You ever seen anything

like that before, Hoyt?

Hell no.

Nothing like this.

There's no trauma.

The internal organs are fine.

It was definitely the tone

that messed with their sonar.

Uh-huh.

This is just the beginning.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Good luck with that.

I'm going to document it

as the tone.

Yeah, absolutely.

I need you to check more.

We've already checked...

...hello. Please leave

a message after the tone.

Hello, Mr. Miller, this is

Dr. David at white oak psychiatric.

I wanted to talk to you about your

wife's progress over the last month.

If you could give me a call

at your earliest convenience...

I'd appreciate it.

Oh, my God. Sorry.

Ok. It's ok.

- You guys all right?

- Yeah.

Good. 'Cause I'm going to need you

to follow me out to the pasture.

What's going on?

MDE never mentioned anyone else

coming up to the property.

I don't think that's them.

He's been sitting out there

about 35, 45 minutes.

There's no plates on it.

Is that thing military?

I don't know.

It's hard to tell.

Well, maybe it's someone

who got lost.

He's on the move.

He's turning around.

Sam, wait. Hang on.

I have a question.

What do you think, Ray?

I don't know.

But it's not right.

No. It sure ain't right.

I've never seen anybody

out there like that. No way.

Look, I'm team leader

of this thing.

If you are the team leader,

then you're supposed to know...

...look, Hoyt, I don't know every vehicle

that's going to come on to the ranch.

Hey, calm down.

Listen, figure it out.

OK, so I ran an analysis

on that tone from last night.

Turns out there were actually

two sounds on that tape.

There was that high-pitched noise that we

obviously know, the one that woke us up.

But below that I found

traces of infrasound.

Infrasound?

Yeah, it's a frequency below the

audible range of the human ear.

So what could cause

something like that?

I mean, infrasound can occur

naturally or it can be manmade.

You know,

at certain cycles per second...

...the military has actually

successfully tested infrasound.

...to cause things like vertigo,

depression, fear, anxiety...

...physical lesions, throat pressure,

all sorts of awful side effects.

And, I mean, those are just

the ones that we know about.

Ok. And how about naturally?

All the big natural disasters

that we know of...

...volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches.

It's why animals are able to detect

earthquakes before people do.

They pick up the vibrations.

Animals... whales...

they use inaudible sounds.

...to paralyze and catch certain prey,

like, you know, fish.

I'm just saying

that the sound we heard.

...that Matt's talking about could've

been caused by a live animal.

We have no idea what

we're dealing with here.

How the f*** would

a whale get up here?

So what are we doing out here?

Oh, it's really well

documented that attempting.

...to communicate with

paranormal energies directly.

...really increases

likelihood of contact.

Follow me.

After you.

Sam has asked me to come and do

a blessing on the property.

...to communicate with the energy

that speaks from this earth.

But you need to know.

This land is forsaken by my people.

And it's only to try and

bring you some protection.

...that I've agreed to come.

There are legends of warriors

hunting in this valley...

...returning to their tribe

disturbed and changed.

Stories of whole tribes

disappearing.

There is a darkness in this soil.

I would not feel right if I

didn't suggest that you leave now

...or to say that this place has

nothing for you but suffering.

I also know that you've

chosen to stay.

And I'll do what I can to bring some

light here, no matter how small.

I ask for silence now while I

reach out to my ancestors.

Ahh. Ahh.

Are you ok?

Can you breathe?

Sam.

There's nothing I can do for you.

You need to get

the f*** out of here.

Uh, 1:
00 A.M. On the 4th.

Um, already low on sleep after

the events of the other night.

Sam seems to think we're close

to getting something concrete...

...some... Some kind of evidence.
