Bone Keeper

Yeah.

My grandfather was a journalist.

My mom.

She was just a little girl when it happened.

An adventurer, my mom called him.

Anything or anywhere for a story.

Something was wrong in those caves.

I have to go exploring down there.

His disappearance affected her every single day.

I know she went there, looking for answers.

Now all I have left of them both is this old journal.

But it's a start.

I called everyone.

What do you mean, everyone?

Ethan, Nick.

Ethan?

He's in the TA and...

What are the police doing?

We can go down there ourselves.

We can try and find her.

I can't ask them to do it.

How are you holding up?

Whoa, check out that view.

Better hope we've brought enough

food and stuff.

I haven't seen a shot for miles.

Wow.

Cataloged everything from my side, so from a scientific perspective at least,

we're covered.

Of course they have.

Hey, no way, is that... Holy shit. It's her. It's Bitch Hiker.

For real.

Who? Ashley Winters.

The travel vlogger. She goes all over the country doing all sorts of cool

Sorry, Bitch Hiker. She has like a million followers.

Ethan, stop. This isn't a joyride.

I am. She's been a good Samaritan. Her videos are insane.

We're here for Olivia's mum.

I really don't think this is a good idea.

Anyway, she might know the area.

We don't have enough space in here.

Sure we do. She can always share with me.

And the bitch hiker strikes again. Never underestimate the power of the thumb,

people. Two thumbs, Sawyer.

Nick.

Ashley Winters, right? The bitch hiker. The one and only. Are you guys fans of

the channel?

Huge fans.

So, where are you headed?

I'm actually looking for a haunted castle in Scotland. I'm hoping to spend

night alone with some ghosties.

What are you guys doing in the middle of nowhere?

Oh, we're going to explore some local caves.

There's this legend about the, uh, something called the Bone Keeper.

Are you serious?

Like a monster hunt or something?

Um, well, it's more just a legend, really.

You know, like a myth.

We're heading to some cabins a few miles up if you fancy jumping in the back.

Are you serious?

Are you seriously inviting a stranger on our trip?

Yep.

Same old Ethan.

All right, fans, we might have had a change of plans. I think we found

more exciting than ghosts. Guys, right, this is supposed to be a serious

expedition, yeah?

Agreed. I vote no.

What's the deal with this bone keeper? Oh, I'm just going to record everything.

Is that okay with everyone?

I film everything.

Absolutely. More cameras the better, I say.

Great.

Perfect.

Okay, Bitch Hiker fans, meet my new friend.

We are on the hunt for this mythical bone keeper.

Sounds terrifying, right?

What is it?

It's a local myth about a creature in a cave that collects human bones.

Well, there's more to it than that.

Oh, no, this is perfect.

It's exactly the kind of content that my fans like.

It's not just a myth.

Olivia's mum went missing looking for it.

At least we think so.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

Sorry. I didn't know.

If you want me to back off, I completely understand.

No way. Look, your vlogging could really help. More attention means more eyes on

the search, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. Well, I have a decent amount of followers of...

We can help you find your mum in any way. My channel's all yours.

What do you get out of it?

Well, content, obviously, but I can help with expenses too, like travel, food,

anything. And I've got a portable sleeping mat, so I won't even take up

See? She's practically paying her way already.

I guess this just got a little bit more interesting.

A whole lot less scientific.

It's like a nature.

Oh! It's absolutely stunning.

And check out all the equipment these guys have prepared for some serious

campaign.

I hear this place is rich in some pretty rare mineral deposits.

If you go deep enough.

Just waiting to be discovered by human hands.

My posh bath and all.

Yours is one with the outdoor shower, mate. Just like the way you grew up.

Oh, fuck you.

Bitchhiker Nation, welcome to the base camp for our Bonekeeper expedition.

I know I was supposed to be exploring Scottish castles that were haunted this

week, but when adventure calls for something this juicy...

Now check out this place.

Total horror movie vibes, right? But in a cozy way.

These views are the dive wall.

Hopefully not literally.

Kidding.

Now the real story is Olivia.

Her mother went missing in this cave and monster or no monster, something

happened to her and we are going to find answers.

Lovely. What is it?

It's my mum.

She used to sing it to me when I was a baby.

She used to call me.

And I recorded it for me the next day. It's

been a lifesaver at

times.

My dad used to play ABBA to get me to sleep.

Which one do you fancy then?

Do you reckon they'll be out for it?

Mate, it's pretty obvious how it's going to go down. We're going to the caves.

Ravi's going to be creaming over the stalactites or whatever.

The girls are going to be cold and tired. It's dark, so we'll keep close to

them. Make them feel safe, right?

There's no creatures, none of that bullshit down there.

They'll see some bats and freak out. We'll be in like Flynn.

Flynn?

Errol Flynn.

Who?

The black and white actor that used to shag all the women.

Don't you know anything?

Are we interrupting something?

Nothing much.

Sorting out some gear.

Yeah, helmets, lights, torches, snacks, emergency blanket.

Emergency blanket?

Well, yeah. Really? Better to have it and not need it than need it and not

it.

You want to see what's in the other pack?

Look,

it's getting dark.

We should probably start looking for Harrison.

There's a local pub you've seen at a few times, so it might be a good place to

start. I could go for a pint.

Yeah, good idea.

What can I do you for?

Three pints of whatever's local, a red, a white and three packets of crisps,

please. Come from far?

All over the place.

What brings you here?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Try me.

I've seen it all and heard it all.

Two days ago, someone took a piss right there where you stood.

Cleaned it all too.

Nice. So don't be shy.

Let it all out.

This place is like a confessional.

All right.

We're looking for someone, actually.

Someone that knows about certain cave systems around here.

He goes by the name of Professor Harrison.

We heard this was his local and thought we'd have a little chat with him.

About what exactly?

Our friend's mum's been missing.

And, uh...

We think she might come to the caves.

Then why would she do something stupid like that?

This gentleman's bothering you, Linda.

Do you need us to operate the door policy for you?

I'm ready for that.

What about you, lad?

Guys, look, we're just going to have one drink and then we're going to be on our

way, OK?

Is it just one drink, Linda?

Sure.

They seem like nice people.

Be a shame to see them get hurt.

So.

Stay away from the caves and keep your bones where they belong.

Bones, eh?

So you believe in all that stuff?

And what stuff would that be?

The Bone Keeper.

That's what the papers called it, isn't it?

The thing that's lurking in those caves.

The Bone Keeper.

I quite like the name myself. What about you, Nick?

I mean, it sounds better than Bigfoot, right? That just sounds like a Bigfoot.

Or Nessie, Loch Ness.

Wasn't that just a trick by the locals to get the tourists to buy more
