"There's only a handful of them and usually they do keep to themselves, but, listen, just stick to the trails and you'll be fine." " You have a great time." " Thanks." " It's so freaking lame."

"Where you can have s'mores and hot dogs, and there will be ghost stories." "Camping, what do you think?" "I wanted to set my own fire." "Well, we can do that later." " AII right." " Okay." "I'll meet you out there." "Man:" "Oh, you missed it. 10 minutes before your guys showed up to camp, a family of deer walked right through the site." "Richard:" "When we were coming here, a deer walked in front of the car and somebody had removed its antlers." "The ranger said that they had probably been torn off on a fence." "It wasn't a fence." " I'm sorry?" " The deer and his antlers." " It wasn't a fence that tore them off." " Okay." "What was it then?" "It was the Leeds Devil." " Oh-ho, Jersey Devil." " Ooh." "Both:" "Ghost story time." "Baby, you realize this is just a story, all right?" "Well, you know, I'm going to go take a dump, so I'll see you guys in a bit." "Nice." "Lovely." "AII right, so the Jersey Devil." "Give us the story." "Well, it lives in the woods." "These woods." " What is it?" " Do you believe in witches?" " Witches?" " Not like the kind with black cats and flying broomsticks." "A different kind." "A real witch." "Mother Leeds was the town whore." "She was never married." "She was always pregnant." "The story goes that she had 12 kids and she raised them in these woods in a Iittle, tiny cabin not too far from here." "As you can imagine, with 12 kids, they just ran wild." "There was no man in her life to help raise them." "So it kind of fell to the town to take care of them, you know?" "Feed them, protect them, clothe them, educate them." "Eventually, the elders grew tired of all of this." "They decided that the town shouldn't be responsible for her offspring." "So they told her-- if she bore another child, then she will be banished from the Barrens forever." "Oh, no." "Not banished." "Mother Leeds was furious and she was scared." "I mean, banishment from the woods meant certain death for her and her family." "She was poor." "She relied on the town to take care of her kids and give them the things that she was unable to give them." "So she agreed and life continued on." "The legend goes that one day," "Mother Leeds grew violently ill." "She stopped going to town, she withdrew from people, she became a total recluse." "These rumors started popping up that she was practicing witchcraft and making deals and conjuring the devil himself." "Other rumors feared her dead." "The last rumor, it proved to be true." "Mother Leeds was pregnant." "Pregnant with her 13th child." "(giggles)" "Woman:" "She was hiding the baby." "She couldn't tell the elders." "With 12 kids, keeping a secret, well" " Did they find out?" " Oh, yeah." "They went to her cabin to find out for themselves." "She was very much pregnant." "She pleaded and begged." "She told them that she hadn't been with a man for years, but they didn't believe her." "They agreed to let her stay in the cabin until she gave birth." "As soon as the child was born, she and her family had to move on." "She cursed the elders, the town, the Barrens, even the unborn baby." "She told them that it wasn't hers." " That it was the devil's baby." " You all right?" "Let him take it." "And take him the devil did." "On the night that she went into labor, after hours of agony, she finally gave birth." "But what came out of Mother Leeds was not human." "It had cloven hooves, a serpentine tail, a head of a horse, and a kangaroo body." "(screaming)" "The 13th child of Mother Leeds was nothing short of the devil himself." "The midwife screamed, she dropped the child and it immediately sprouted these wings and started flying all around the room." "It killed two of its siblings before finally turning on Mother Leeds." "It attacked her." "It tore right into her." " AII right." "I think that's enough." " No, no." " What happened?" " It's okay." "I'm big enough to hear." " You sure?" " Yeah, Dad." "He's big enough to hear." "What happens next, it varies depending on who's telling the story." "I heard that the thing climbed up the chimney and escaped into the forest." "Sadie:" "The book said that people have actually seen it." "That's true." "There's been countless sightings over the years." "This is almost 400 years ago." "Yeah, and sometimes if you're quiet enough, you can actually hear it." " (scoffs)" " Ryan:" "No, I'm serious." " (giggling)" " Shh." "Listen." "No, seriously, guys." "Listen." " (yells) - (screaming)" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Woman:" "Oh, my gosh!" "You got punked!" "What a bunch of bitches, huh?" "Bitches!" " That was seriously messed up!" " Dude, relax." "It was a joke." "Dad, calm down." "He was just joking." "(snaps) Do I Iook amused, Sadie?" " Do I?" " Cynthia:" "Richard." "Look at your brother." "Look at him." "Look at him." " He's six years old."

"Sorry." "I didn't mean-- okay." "What's up with your pops?" " You totally overreacted." " I'm sorry." "I don't know what I was thinking." "Danny, are you all right?" "You all right, honey?" "Fine."

" Give it." " Richard, stop it." "Brian?" "Are you fucking kidding me?" "Seriously?" "(grunts, groans)" "You need to calm down." "I have never cheated on you." "The paranoia has to stop now." "You told me you'd stopped talking to him." "I did stop talking to him and then he called me out of the blue." "What else are you lying about, Cynth?" "Huh?" "Am I going to have to run around questioning you?" "You are so jealous, Richard." "He said that he needed to talk." " Oh, just talk?" " That's all we did." "We talked." " How naive are you?" " Ever since we got married," "I have cut ties with every single guy friend." "(screeching, rumbling)" "Richard?" "I chose you." "I Iove you, Richard." "(moans) Ow." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " I'll go and get your phone." " No." "I don't want my" "I don't care." "I just want to go to bed." "I'm going to" "I need to clear my head."

"Cynthia is not my mother." "Oh, yeah?" "What's your story?" "Not a very interesting one." "My mom died when I was seven." " I'm sorry." " Yeah." "So what do you think happened to Zach?" " (crows squawking)" " He went out in the woods last night to take a piss and he never came back." "That's crazy." "Hey." "We were starting to wonder when you were gonna wake up." " What time is it?" " It's after 11 :00." " What?" " Yes." "Come here." " How are you feeling?" " I'm better, thanks." "You are?" "Because you really look like shit." " Right back at ya." " Thanks, babe." "You're so nice." "So..." " did you find it?" " What?" " My phone." " No, I didn't." " I'm sorry." " It's okay." " Where's Sadie?" " She went on a hike with that guy." " With that douchebag?" " God, Richard." " It's a hike." " What's this?" "He's been here since this morning and he's been questioning everybody." "This is not camping." "We need to go further into the forest." "I don't know whether that's such a good idea, babe." "When she gets back, we'll leave immediately." "Hey, Dad." "I'm going to need you to pack your things up." " Are we leaving?" " Just moving sites." "We're here for a reason." "Taking off so soon?" "Moving sites." "Oh, where to?" "Just gonna go a couple of miles up the trail to the Oswego Pointe." "Officer:" "Can't say I blame you." "Not how I remember it." "Well, things have a way of changing." "Scattering my dad's ashes." "Sorry for your loss." "You got a minute?" "Seen you just woke up." "Richard:" "Yeah, I had a bit of a headache, but feeling better now." " Is everything okay?" " Yeah, we're fine, hon." "We're just-- we're just chatting." " Ma'am." " Hi." "I'm Cynthia Vineyard." "Nice to meet you." "Pleasure." "So when you were up last night," " did you notice anything strange?" " No." "Why?" "It's probably nothing." "One of their friends disappeared last night." "Went into the woods and didn't come back." " Cynthia:" "You're kidding." " If you ask me, guy drank too much, passed out somewhere, and he's going to wake up with one hell of a hangover." " But I got to check, you know." " Mm-hmm." "No, we didn't see anything strange." "A camper thought he saw you out walking around in the middle of the night." "Thought maybe you'd seen or heard something." "Nope." "No, you weren't walking around or, no, you didn't see or hear anything?" "Neither." "Huh." "Well, it's probably nothing, but given what happened last week," " we got to be a tad more cautious." " What happened last week?" "Well, a couple of hikers ran smack into a bear's den." "Cynthia:" "You're kidding." "I had no idea that there were bears up here." "Well, a handful at most." "Black bears." "Mostly stay to themselves." " Mm-hmm." " Oh, jeez." "I almost forgot." "This wouldn't happen to be yours, would it?" "Eh, yes." "Yes." "Pretty safe to assume that phone has made its last call." "Mm-hmm." " You be safe out there, Cynthia." " Thank you." " And..." " Richard." "Bye." "Where are you from, Richard?" "If you don't mind me asking." " Philly." " Philly?" " No, by way of England." " Oh." "Well, hope you beat the rain." "Thank you." "Richard, why did you just lie to him?" "Richard:" "Oswego should be just over to the west here." "It's where my dad and I used to camp." "It's where he'd want to be." "Definitely." "(Danny whimpers)" "Wait." "I'm sorry about your phone, Cynth." "I really didn't think I'd thrown it that hard." "I don't understand what was wrong with where we were." "Everything, Sade."

"This trip is important to your dad." "Seriously, I mean, what the fuck is this shit?" " Cynthia:" "Come on, Sadie." " No." "This is fucked." "Dead deer, dead dogs, and all this "Blair Witch" crazy shit hanging from trees." "Your dad is going to scatter Gramp's ashes in the river where they used to fish." "Why don't we just throw Gramps in this water and get the hell out of here?" "It's not Iike he'll know the difference." "Oh, my God." "Cynthia?" "(flies buzzing)" "Cynthia:" "Danny, stay there."

"I think you should go back to the main campsite." "I'm kind of meeting Sadie." " You're what?" " She just texted me." "We're going for a walk." "Look, if you're mad about this whole stupid story thing" "Do you believe in the Jersey Devil?" "What?" "You mean, Iike the real thing?" "The version I heard is a Iittle bit different from yours." "The 13th child of Mother Leeds was born normal." "Not deformed, but she did do a deal with the devil." "He would spare her sinner's soul in exchange for the 13th child." "So when the baby was born, she walked down to the river by the side of her cabin... and she offered up her son to the devil by drowning it." "(voices whispering)" "Richard:" "One of the town elders saw Mother Leeds down by the bank, drowning her little baby." "So he rushed over... but he was too late." "The baby was dead." "So he pulled Mother Leeds away from the bank." "When he turned round, the infant's body was gone." "Taken by the devil himself." "I thought I saw the Jersey Devil when I was a Iittle boy." " (branches creaking) - (low growl)" "(rain pattering)" "Do you hear that?" "Hear what?" "(thunder rumbling)" "I went fishing with Spider." " Ah, that's Spider." " Richard:" "Sadie, come here."

" You sound like a crazy person." " She called that boy Ryan" " and she told him to come and meet us." " So what?" "That's what 17-year-olds do." "Not listen to their parents, they text boys." "What the hell, Richard?" "You wanted to come here, so we came here." "You wanted to leave the other campsite, so we left, and now we're here." "You know what?" "This is not bringing us any closer together." "You have a fever." "You look like shit." "We're lost in the middle of this fucking forest." "It's raining." "For some reason the other campers tied their dog to a tree and they vanished." "Put yourself in our position." "This is insane." "There's something wrong with my arm." "What?" "Let me see it." "(gasps)" "I'm seeing things." "Things that I know aren't there." "Okay, fuck it." "As soon as this rain stops, we're leaving here and we're going to go to a hospital." "I Iove you and I know that you are trying to fix this family... but this is not the way." "Okay?" "Here." "Call your boy back." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Dad's acting fucking crazy." "Is he mad?" "No." "Not at you." "We're going to get the hell out of here as soon as it stops raining." "Recording:" "You've reached Ryan." "Leave a message." " He's not answering." " (thunder rumbling)" "He will." "Trust me." "(thunder rumbling)" "Hi." "You still have a fever." "I think that we should get out of here tonight." "I'm sorry if I'm scaring everyone." "I don't feel safe or comfortable hiking out of here tonight." "The ground is mush, it's going to be pitch black soon." "You can call the sheriff." "What is that?" "I found it in the other occupants' tent." "You went through their stuff?" "I buried their dog." "I'm sure they won't mind." " What language is this?" " I killed Oscar." "What?" "About a month ago, he started... acting different." " And strange." " (barks)" "Well, he was old." "I mean, what else could I do?" "I mean, what if he attacked Sadie or Danny?" "(snarling, snapping)" "I had to put him down." "He bit me." "I Ioved that fucking dog." "I think I'm going to go and rest for a bit." "(grunts)" "(thunder rumbling)" "(bird hooting, crickets chirping)" " Hey." " Hey." "What are you guys doing?" "We're rather unsuccessfully trying to make s'mores, right?" " Well, at Ieast it stopped raining." " Yeah." "Does that mean we finally get to go home?" "Cynthia:" "When your daddy feels better, we'll go home, okay?" "Okay, well, I'm not getting any service here, so I'm going to walk around and try to call Ryan." "Okay."
