Evil Things

We're gonna have a lot of fun with this camera.

What's the matter?

It was the most thoughtful present he'd ever given me.

- Aah! - Ahh!

I know it sounds crazy that a watch could ruin someone's life.

- What are you doing? Aah! - Help me!

I do not know what's happening.

Some people believe that a violent death

can play over and over.

I was positive I was losing my mind.

- Aah! - Justin!

Hello?!

captions paid for by discovery communications

- Eggnog? - Of course.

Remember how this destroyed my stomach last year?

Drink up. It's worth the nausea.

- Merry Christmas. - Cheers.

It was Christmas Eve...

I guess, about 15 years ago.

I'd been dating Tom about three years by then.

And every year at Christmas time,

he went completely insane.

It was pretty adorable.

No. what?

This is back before everybody

had smartphone cameras in their pocket.

Tom! How did you pay for this?!

I really wanted a video camera,

but we were pretty much flat broke.

This is way nicer than what I got you! Thank you!

It was the most thoughtful present he'd ever given me.

Just let me borrow that next weekend.

Yeah. any time you want.

Here.

Say something.

Um...

We're gonna have a lot of fun with this camera.

Oh. are we?

I think so.

Couldn't wait to use it that weekend.

We had a tradition of going camping

with my friend Natasha and her husband, Jake,

right after Christmas.

It's a lot colder than it was last year.

Yeah. it's probably why we're the only ones out here.

No kidding.

And every year, we'd go a little deeper into the woods

to, you know, get away from the crowds.

I didn't see a single other campsite on our way in here.

Yeah, well, we're idiots.

I thought we banned the guitar.

Oh. I've been taking lessons. You'll love it.

Mm-hmm.

Could always shoot a music video.

Please don't encourage him.

That was horrible.

- Gosh. - Can I tell them?

No.

Tell us what?

Are you pregnant?!

I've had like five beers, idiot.

We're, uh, starting a business together.

Really? what is it?

It's a...

A restaurant sort of.

Sort of?

Actually, it's more like a mobile restaurant.

What are you talking about?

Instead of an actual restaurant,

we're gonna sell food out of a truck.

Go park around different places in the city and...

A food truck.

- Yeah. yeah. - Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

That's a terrible idea.

Nobody wants to buy food from a truck.

- Well, we think you're wrong. - I'm not wrong.

That was close.

I mean, of all the times we've ever gone camping out there,

we've never heard a single wolf.

I don't see anything. They must be in the tree line.

Oh. wait.

This... this thing has an infrared setting.

And then it just stopped.

I'm gonna sleep great tonight.

And a few hours later,

everyone's fast asleep in their tents...

...except me.

Tom.

Hmm?

Did you hear that?

Hmm. mm-hmm.

I was used to hearing other campers,

you know, partying, having fun,

but this didn't sound like that.

This sounded like a scream.

The next afternoon, we went for a long hike.

We were almost back to our camp when...

Whoa, guys. Check this out.

Whoa.

- Creepy. - Yeah.

Doesn't look like anybody's lived here for a long time.

That's a good thing.

Yeah, so you think we should head back?

Yeah. give them some private time.

Let them talk about their food-mobile wagon.

Dude, it's truck! It's a food truck.

Nobody cares.

I remember I was glad Tom wanted to head back...

...'cause it was going to be dark soon.

I thought Jake and Natasha

we're gonna be a couple of minutes behind us.

It's almost 10:00. They've got to be lost.

They're not lost.

Probably just having sex.

That's not funny.

We've been camping with them hundreds of times.

They've never done anything this stupid.

Ohh. all right.

All right.

- Let's go find them. - Thank you.

It was pitch black, and Tom had only brought one light.

So we used the camera that I had gotten for Christmas

so that I could see in the dark.

- Jake?! - Jake?!

Natasha!

- Jake? - Natasha!

Jake?

Natasha?

Jake!

Natasha!

Jake!

Jake!

Natasha!

Natasha!

Kara!

Kara!

There's someone out here!

What? what do you mean, someone? Who?

It was... it was... It was a woman.

She was... She was crying.

Who was it?

I don't know.

Hey! What's going on?

I heard you screaming from way over there.

S-she saw a woman.

- Really? - Yeah.

- What? - Who?

You guys didn't see anyone?

No, nobody.

Hello?!

And they didn't need to say it.

It was pretty obvious that they thought

I had imagined the whole thing...

- Hike. ooh. - Nice.

...not that I blamed them.

That was good.

So she was just crying?

Kara.

Yeah.

Yeah, she looked really scared...

...like she was running away from someone.

I don't know.

I think I heard her crying in the woods last night.

What?!

It was in the middle of the night.

Okay.

So either there's some woman running from a guy

trying to kill her in the woods...

Or there's some schizophrenic lady

who may or may not stab us in our sleep.

I'm not sure which one I like better.

Well, option "C" is that I'm just crazy.

I played it off as no big deal.

But I couldn't stop thinking about her.

Did you hear that?

I think I heard her crying in the woods last night.

Natasha!

Jake?

Natasha!

I knew what I saw.

I couldn't ignore the fact

that there was a woman out there alone and afraid

somewhere out near that cabin we'd seen.

So I grabbed my camera,

and I went back out to where I saw here.

And what can I say?

I hope someone would help me if I was in trouble.

This time, I recorded the whole thing.

Hello?! Are you out here?!

Hello?!

We're gonna have a lot of fun with this camera.

This thing has a infrared setting.

Natasha!

There's someone out here!

Hello?!

Hello?!

I heard crying...

Someone in there?!

...I mean, just for a second.

But I definitely heard her.
