Hunting for the Hag (2023) Movie Script
1
- Tell us what
we're doing out here.
- Oh, well,
we're hunting for The Hag.
- Oh, I like that.
Oh my God.
- Oh, my God.
Oversized load?
- Same. Honk, honk.
- I don't think you really understand
how much trouble you're in.
And this is not gonna
help your case, Tara.
I wanted to talk to you today because
as I understood it, you were ready
to finally take this seriously.
Do you have any idea how big
a shitshow you're really in?
Have you been following what
the media says about you?
Every website, every news
show, every newspaper,
they all think you're guilty.
Everybody thinks you're guilty.
Even the conspiracy theory
websites think you're guilty.
Now, I want to help you, Tara.
- Watch the footage.
- Tara, I'm not gonna sit here
all day watching this footage.
- You really wanna help me?
Watch the footage.
Do you know how many
lawyers I've talked to
since all this happened?
I told my parents I'm
done talking to lawyers,
but you insisted that I
come here and talk to you
because you said you could help me.
I had to fight a mob of reporters
just to get into the building.
So if you really wanna
help me, watch the footage.
I spent two months holed
up in my parents' basement,
putting all of this together,
just trying to get someone
to listen, trying to get
someone to believe me.
So either you watch the
footage from the beginning
or I walk out of here right now.
- Okay.
You win, Miss Cordell.
Let's see this hag you're talking about.
- Warning, the following footage
contains scenes of assault, graphic
violence, and disturbing situations.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Hi, I'm Tara and this is my-
Hi, my name is Tara Cordell
and this is my documentary.
I'm about to embark on a journey
with a few of my friends,
Beth, Candy, and Alyssa.
We're going to uncover the truth
about a mysterious creature
in central Illinois,
known to the locals as the Hawthorne Hag.
We're gonna try to capture it on
camera for the first time ever.
I hope you'll join me in this adventure.
Thank you.

deep in the woods down here.
And um, yeah, that's all
I'm gonna say for now.
- Oh, such a tease!
Candy, where are you taking us to hunt
for this mysterious old woman?
- There's a place called
the Hawthorne Woods,
and that's why the creature's
called the Hawthorne Hag,
you see?
- I see, I see.
So, Candy, why are you driving my car?
- So I am from central Illinois
and I know that getting to
Hawthorne be a little bit tricky.
So, you know, just think of me

- Bye.
- Bye, Alyssa.
Dude.
- Got your beer, Candy.
- Hell yeah.
- Tara, Alyssa says she can't make it.
- What, why not?
- School shit, I guess.
- Wait, why was she
coming down in the first place?
- To help us shoot this thing.
- Well, maybe we are better
off with less people.
- Yeah, but she's my bestie,
I wanted her to be here.
- Uh, we can just invite
her to the premiere party.
- Yeah, okay.
- I'm not your bestie?
- We are in Hawthorne, woo, woo!
- Woop, woop.
- Me and my ladies are on
the mission to find the infamous Hag.
- Oh, I love that.
- Yeah.
- Which one are you posting?
- The only good one.
- I think we actually are almost here.
- We're living out in the sticks.
- Yeah, yeah, it's right here.
- This driveway's really long.
- Yeah.
- This is scary.
- But it's kind of cute.
- Oh, you think it's cute?
I think it's scary.
- Oh, it's so cute!
- Cats!
- Meow.
You good?
Ah, okay.
Oooh!
- Oh, it feels so good in here.
- Shit.
- Wow.
- Okay. Hey look,
they've got like a moose on the wall.
- That's a deer.
- Oh.
- Cute.
More cups.
- This is cute.
- Yeah, love this.
Home sweet home.
- Home sweet home.
- Let's go check out the woods.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- So the website said
if we walk back this way,
we should see where the property
connects to the Hawthorne Woods.
- Wow.
So cool you found this place, Beth.
Ooh, here's that fire pit thing.
- Oh, hell yeah.
We should light that up later tonight.
- Ooh, I can tell
you guys some Hag stories.
- Awesome.
- How far back does it go?
- Pretty far, it looks like.
- Ooh, I can see the woods.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, my mic came off.
- Oh, okay.
Aww yeah!
The Hag.
She out there somewhere?
Tonight we find out.
Hey, guys?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So if we come back with all
of our, like, camera gear and lights
and stuff like that, this
is the path, right, Candy?
- Oh yeah, this is the right path.
It's pretty simple, you just follow it.
- No, actually, I'm sorry, guys.
It's not this trail.
I think you should just leave the
directions to me, to be honest.
- I'm cool with whatever.
- Okay, if you promise you won't
get us lost, we'll follow you.
- Oh, trust me, yeah, I've
done all the research.
I know where we need to go.
- Candy.
Ooh.
Oh, this is cool.
I love this shot.
Jesus fucking Christ,
Beth.
- What the hell was that?
- Oh my God.
- Oh, sorry,
I couldn't help myself.
- Where'd you even come from?
- This door goes to the patio.
- I hate you.
Ooh.
- Oh, dibs
on the big bed.
- I don't know, Candy.
Is today going to be a great day?
- I hope so.
That is, if the Hag doesn't kill us all.
- Dun-dun.
- Hey, you wanna play me later?
- Yeah, sure.
- Sweet.
Have you seen the pool yet?
- No, where?
- Right out there.
- Oh, wow.
- Cannonball, cannonball!
- Cannonball, cannonball!
- Open up, open up.
- So Candy.
- So Tara.
- Do you believe in
this legend of The Hag?
- Me? Hell no.
- Oh, really, why not?
- You know, same reason I don't
believe in Bigfoot or Jesus.
Yeah, I just haven't seen any of them.
My sister swear she's seen it.
- The Hag?
- Mm-hmm, yeah, her and her friends
were out in the woods a few years ago,
and they were just drinking,
and I don't know, fucking around,
and I guess they heard some strange noises
and they could have sworn that
something was following them.
So they hauled ass out of there.
- Okay, so you don't
think The Hag is real,
but you came all the way
down here to check it out?
- No, I came all the way down here
'cause I was promised free beer
all weekend.
- Woo!
- Okay, fair point,
I did promise that.
- Yeah. No, I mean, it sounded fun.
And you know, I have a
pretty great roommate,
so I figured why not, I'd help out.
- Aw.
- Wait, is Candy your dancer name?
- No.
- Is Candy your real name?
- No.
- All right, I'm pretty sure
I know the answer to
this, but I'll ask anyway.
Beth, do you think the
Hawthorne Hag is real?
- Yes. Absolutely.
- And what makes
you think it's real?
- There's some pretty compelling evidence.
Well, maybe evidence isn't the right word.
There's a lot of stories that line up.
Lots of people down here have claimed
to see her, whatever she is.
- But nobody has ever
been able to document it?
- Right, yeah, nobody's
ever gotten her on camera
or taken any photos or anything
like that, as far as I know.
And that's where we come in.
- Yeah.
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, chupacabra, ghosts,
Mothman, you name it,
I am kind of obsessed.
- And now The Hag.
- Oh, she's out there.
And we're gonna find her.
Do you believe in the Hawthorne Hag?
- I mean, how could she not?
It's her project.
- Is your name...
Tara?
- Wow.
- Okay, go.
- No, believe is an interesting word.
I'm kind of like on the
fence about all this.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, I wanna believe,
- Okay, Fox Mulder.
- but, who?
- Shh, Candy, be quiet.
- It's cheesy, but that's
really how I feel about it.
Like, I wanna believe that ghosts are real
or that Bigfoot is real,
or The Hag is real.
But I've just never seen anything myself
that would lead me to believe they are.
- Just because you
haven't seen it though,
- No, right, yeah.
- doesn't make-
- That's, yeah.
- Your brain is real.
But you haven't seen your brain.
- Or your liver.
What kind of a filmmaker
would you like to be?
- Hmm.
- You know, before you eventually
get into like porn and snuff.
- No, yeah, right, no.
Yeah, I think I wanna
stick with documentaries.
Anything that will give
people a different perspective
or open up their eyes to
something they didn't know about.
- Like the Hawthorne Hag.
- Actually, I didn't know
anything about The Hag
until you two, so this is just
as much your movie as it is mine.
- Okay.
- Are you scared about tonight?
- I don't know about scared,
but like excited for sure.
And maybe a little nervous.
- You guys are gonna
be scared outta your minds.
- Probably, yeah.
Geez.
- I know, I hope
this clears up soon.
- No, I think the forecast
said it will, don't worry.
- There is
no really authentic way
for us to say who or what to look for
and guard yourself against.
Misshapen monsters -
- Hey Beth, whatcha doing?
- I am reviewing the directions,
most important part by far.
- Okay, good.
Please don't get us lost tomorrow.
If I don't call my sister,
she'll actually kill me.
- Nah, I'm a human compass.
- Sweet.
Do we need, do we need weapons?
What if we run into,
like, a bear or something?
- We just have to make ourselves look
really big and yell, like, really loud.
- Oh, yeah?
We got a bear expert here, wow!
Oh, you found another log,
cool.
- Yeah.
- Awesome. Sweet. Nice and warm.
Let me just get this
second camera set up, Beth,
and then we'll turn you loose.
- Cool.
- Okay.
I think it's recording, yeah, we're good.
All right, Beth, if we're gonna go
into these woods tonight, we need to know
what we're getting ourselves into.
- All right.
- The Hawthorne Hag, who is she?
Where does she come from?
- Well, obviously nobody
knows for sure, right?
But according to most
versions of the legend,
The Hag is someone who lived here
in the Hawthorne area in the early 1800s.
Her name was Ollie Yarger.
- Oh wait, she was a real person?
- Yeah, just a little old lady.
But she was falsely accused of
murdering a young boy in the town.
Ollie swore she didn't do it,
but local authorities had
her publicly executed.
- Oh my God.
- Wait, why would an old lady
want to kill a little kid?
- Or why would they think she killed him?
- She may have been
involved in some witchcraft,
which was obviously frowned
upon back in the day.
Or it's entirely possible that there
were just rumors about her going around.
It's hard to say. Either way, Ollie Yarger
was hanged from a tree
branch in these very woods.
- Jesus.
- On the day she died, she
stood under the hanging tree
and screamed that she was innocent.
She told the townspeople that they would
never sleep again for
what they'd done to her.
- Oh, shit!
They up fucked up.
- Candy, drink your beer.
- They buried Ollie
in an unmarked grave and
everyone tried to move on,
but sure enough, people started
having trouble sleeping.
Several residents claim
that late at night,
a dark figure would enter their
room and sit on their chest.
They couldn't move, they couldn't speak,
they couldn't scream.
All they could do was watch in horror
as Ollie hovered above
them singing a little song,
torturing them for what they'd done.
- Oh my God, that's so creepy.
- Yeah, well, it's a good
thing we're staying up tonight,
'cause no one's sitting on my chest
unless I'm getting paid for it.
- I know you're joking,
but that is a good point.
If we do get too tired out there,
I'm not sure what's gonna happen.
- If it means we catch The
Hag on camera, I'm all for it.
Let's get real fucking sleepy.
- I mean, even if we're wide awake,
who knows, we could still bump into her.
- That's true, I mean,
Candy's sister and her friends
weren't sleeping.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, but they were drunk
and high out of their minds.
- Well, we don't know what sets her off.
It could be falling asleep.
It could be just being out
there on her turf, you know?
- There's only one way to find out,
right?
- Yep.
Although there is one thing we could try.
It might be a little dangerous though.
- Oooh, now we're talking.
- What is it?
- When I was doing my research,
I came across a spell, an incantation
that might sort of help draw her out.
- Why is it dangerous?
- Because it might work.
- Why not, let's do it.
- Yes!
- So this is the spell book?
- Yeah, there's
tons of stuff in here.
Just gimme a couple minutes
to memorize the incantation.
- Great, I'm scared.
- Okay, now close your eyes
and repeat everything I say.
- Shh!
- Shh!
- Shh, shh.
- We call upon the spirit of Ollie Yarger.
- {Together] We call upon
the spirit of Ollie Yarger.
- We ask to see you in your tangible form.
- We ask to see
you in your tangible form.
- We summon you to this place and
make ourselves available to you.
- We summon you to this place,
and make ourselves available to you.
- We align ourselves and this deep desire
with the good of all things.
- We align ourselves and this
deep desire with the good of all things.
- We mean you no harm, and we
ask that you do not harm us.
- We mean you no harm
and we ask that you do not harm us.
- When we speak your name three times,
you may manifest yourself.
- When we speak
your name three times,
you may manifest yourself.
- Now say her name.
- Ollie Yarger,
Ollie Yarger, Ollie Yarger.
- As above and so below, so may it be.
- As above and
so below, so may it be.
- Oh my God!
Candy, shut the fuck up!
All right, that should be good.
How's that feel?
- Good.
Nice and snug.
- Cool.
Candy, can you hand me the other one?
- I can't see in front of me.
- Don't worry, your
fearless leader is here.
- God, it's so creepy.
- All right.
- Oh my God, bugs.
- Is that a, oh my God.
- Love that for you.
It's a stick.
It's a stick.
No,
- Oh God.
- No, there was
something in my face. Oh no.
- Oh my God.
- Alright, ladies.
What, what, what,
what, what, what?
What?
- Oh, that's a really big bug.
- They like my titties.
- Alright. Guys, we gotta focus,
all right?
- Okay, okay, okay.
- The Hag doesn't like screaming.
She likes to cause screaming.
- Yeah, okay.
- Are you mad about that?
- Oh my goodness,
you scared me.
- All right,
there's a little bit of a spider web.
- Oh, no.
- Yep, and I felt it.
- Ope, I just
spilled beer all over
myself.
- Oh, no.
- Oh my God, you
guys, look at that spider.
- Holy-
- That's a, oh my God.
- Oh, wow, it's moving!
- Shit.
- I don't know.
- Does she like,
she just like lives out
here, does she have like,
like a cabin, an abandoned
cabin or something?
- Uh, some reports have said
that she lives in the
trunk of the hanging tree.
- Oh.
- Some reports
have just been like
people running into her.
- And we're going
to the hanging tree now?
- Yes, we're going
to the hanging tree.
- Okay.
- I would say
that's your best bet.
- What is that?
- It's an EMF meter.
- What does it do?
- It's designed to
detect electromagnetic fields.
If there's a big spike, it could
indicate the presence of something.
- Presence of The Hag?
- Of The Hag, of a
ghost, I mean, who knows?
- We're not here
to look for ghosts though.
- How do we know The Hag isn't a ghost?
- Fair point.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Ollie?
Oh, Miss Yarger?
Shit. You're gonna piss her off.
- Oh, this is so fucking creepy!
- I'm not scared.
- Oh my God, what?
- Oh, fuck.
Uh, Candy, can you, there's
a map in my backpack.
- You hold my beer?
- Yeah.
Okay, we're here...
Okay. Cool, you can put it back.
Thank you.
- You sure?
- Mm-hmm.
- See anything?
- Oh, God.
How much longer until
the hanging tree thing?
- I think we got about
a half a mile right now.
- What the fuck?
- Are they having sex?
- Or they're eating
each other, I have no idea.
- Candy, do you see something?
- Nah, I'm just drunk.
- Fuck!
So many fucking spiders, Jesus Christ.
Last beer.
- What number is that, Candy?
- Huh? I don't fucking know.
- Okay.
- Not enough, that's for sure.
All right...
- Uh-oh.
- I think we're getting close, guys.
On the forums, it said, when
you see the prairie grass,
you're getting close to the clearing.
And I'm pretty sure it'd be a left.
- Pretty sure?
Yeah, that's real comforting, Beth.
- No, wait, this is it.
This is it.
- Oh, well, if the forums say it.
- Follow me.
- Yeah, if you say so.
- Oh, shit, okay.
You guys doing okay?
- Yeah.
Shit, oh fuck.
Fuck.
- Oh my God, oh my God.
What the fuck was that?
- You guys see anything?
- Tara.
Shh.
- What was that?
- Shh.
- Whatever it was, it was close.
- Okay, let's keep
going but be very quiet.
- Goddamnit.
- Okay. Shit.
- Oh my God.
- Holy shit.
- Oh my God.
- We found it, you guys!
- Oh, no.
- I can't believe it
actually exists.
- Oh my God, what the fuck?
Holy shit, Beth, it's real.
- See this?
- Oh, shit.
- Oh, God.
- Yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
Oh, wow.
- Hey, Tara, come get this.
- Oh my God. Yeah, baby.
- Guys, I don't like this.
- Well, we did it.
- It's like really eerie over here.
- Yeah, how long are we staying over here?
- God.
- Oh my God, is that the noose?
- Oh, fuck.
- Oh my God.
- No, no, no.
- Shit.
Oh ho. Oh fuck no.
Wait, don't touch it.
- Shit.
- Not gonna touch it.
- Are you fucking
- Oh, let's get that
- kidding me?
- on camera.
Gettin' this, Tara?
- Holy shit.
- Tara, I think we should go.
- I think we should too.
- Yeah.
- I don't like this.
- Let's get a few more shots,
and then we can just head back, okay?
- Okay, I think we got
enough, I think we should go.
- Yeah, I agree - oh
- You okay, Beth?
- Oh.
- Tara?
- Yes, Beth?
- Candy?
- What are, what is she doing?
- Beth, are you okay?
- Beth?
- I'm really tired.
- Oh, no, no, no.
- Beth, snap out of it.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Beth, snap out of it.
- Tara.
- Beth.
- What the fuck was that?
- Candy?
- Beth, Beth, please snap
out of it.
- Tara?
Oh my God!
- Gotcha!
Hi, Tara.
- Alyssa?
What?
- How's it going?
- What the fuck?
Where did you even come from?
- Uh, I'm The Hag.
I live out here.
- Oh my God!
- That was amazing!
- What the fuck?
- Oh my God.
Are you okay, Tara?
- I dunno, just,
I need a minute.
Why are you laughing?
- Oh, come on.
She got you real good, that was awesome.
- Are you happy, Beth,
is that what you were
hoping for?
- Girl, that was perfect.
- Wait.
- Thank you.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Beth, you knew about this?
- Okay, don't be mad, I
just figured this project
could use a few extra scares, that's all.
- What?
Oh my God.
- Hell yeah.
Oh fuck, that's actually really hilarious.
Alyssa, how did you even
fucking find us out here?
- So, Beth gave me the
location of the house,
and I just found a spot in the woods
to do my makeup and to wait for you guys.
- That's incredible,
I think I shit myself.
- Tara for sure thought she was gonna die.
- Oh yeah she did.
- Yeah, she did.
- Look at her! Tara!
- Oh, wait, wait.
Wait, how did you get down here?
- I got a car.
- Oh.
- I parked like, I don't know,
a mile or so down the road.
- Oh.
- That's why
she's my bestie, woot woot.
- That, I'm sorry, that
deserves a golf clap.
Oh my God.
Come on, Tara, golf clap.
- No.
- Dude, are you for real pissed?
- Yeah, I wanted this to
be a legitimate thing.
- It is.
- No, it's not.
Is this a fucking joke to you?
- No, no, it's not, no.
- Tara, relax.
- Yeah.
- No, don't fucking tell me to relax.
I came all the way down here and you guys
aren't even taking this seriously.
- We are! We're trying to
make this interesting for you.
- Yeah, we just wanted
to get some interesting
footage, that's all.
- Fuck this, I'm going home.
- Tara, no, stop,
don't be like that.
- No, because I'm out here busting my ass
and you guys are just
dicking around with pranks.
Do you even believe in any of this shit?
- Of course I do, it's just like,
who knows if we're gonna
get anything, okay?
I did this because I wanted you
to have some interesting footage.
I'm sorry, okay?
- Whatever.
- Look, let's just, let's just
get a few more shots, okay?
Alyssa can just chase us out of the woods.
- Beth, I'm not getting
any more shots, I'm done.
And I'm not gonna be a part of your
fucking lies.
- Okay, Jesus Christ.
Just give me the camera then, I'll do it.
- Yeah, let's at least
finish the Hag stuff.
- There is no Hag!
- Hey! I came all the way down here
and put on all this makeup for this.
- Tara, just let them do it.
- And you just
think this whole thing
is so fucking funny, don't you?
- Yes, actually.
- Tara, it'll take five minutes.
Just give me the camera.
- Come on.
We can just hang out
the rest of the weekend.
Have fun.
Relax.
Just give them the camera.
- Fine, whatever, here.
- Okay, awesome.
- We're not done
talking about this.
- Yeah, okay, I get
it, you're pissed at me.
We'll talk later, okay.
- Okay, where do you want me, Beth?
- I actually, I
wanna do another take.
Tara, can you just like hold-
- Oh, absolutely fucking not.
- Oh my God, Candy?
- Yeah, I can do it.
- Okay, just, can
you hold that for a minute?
And then, Alyssa, can you back
up behind the hanging tree?
- Okay.
- And Candy?
- Yeah?
- You can fall down in the same spot,
and then when she's hovering
over you just hold it steady.
Make sure it's steady.
- Yeah, I can try.
- Okay.
- Unbelievable.
- All right, uh-
- Are we ready?
- I'm ready, Alyssa, are you ready?
- Ready!
- Okay.
- Okay.
And - action.
- Oh,
did you guys hear that?
- Shh, shh, Candy, be quiet.
- What is that?
- I can't-
Oh my God!
Candy, no!
Tara, do something!
Help me!
- What the fuck was that?
- Oh my God, oh my God.
- What was that?
- Okay if this is
another one of your bullshit ass pranks,
I'm not falling for it.
- Oh, no, no, no.
No, it's not, no, it's not.
Oh my God.
- Holy shit.
- Oh-
Oh, fuck, Alyssa!
- Oh my God.
- Alyssa, no!
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my
God, oh my God, oh my God.
Shh, shh, what was that?
Oh my God!
- Shit, that was loud, Ray.
seemed like-
- What is, what?
- Shit, don't care about us.
- That's what I say.
- You know what I'm sayin'?
Hey, you girls okay?
- Look at 'em, Ray.
You just shot somebody in the-
- Clint, I got this.
- No, we're definitely not okay.
- The hell happened?
- How about you tell us?
- Look, whoa, hold on.
Just, just, lets everybody just stay calm.
- Stay calm?
You just killed my friend!
- Goddamn, we
should have gotten closer
before you-
- Clint, come on.
Enough, shut the fuck up!
Look, just let me do all the talking here.
Listen, we were out in the woods
and we heard you guys screaming
so we ran out to help you.
I'm Ray, this is Clint, this is Danny.
Ladies. We heard that
thing coming after you so-
- Did you not hear us, asshole?
You just shot our friend
in the fucking face!
- Hey! Did you not hear him?
It was an accident, show some respect.
- This is bad, Ray, this
is real fucking bad.
You shouldn't have shot
- Clint!
- Her so quick.
- Enough, enough!
Don't make me say it again, goddamit.
We were hunting.
- Deer, we're hunting deer.
- Right, deer.
And we're from around here.
We know about The Hag, okay?
And we heard the screams, we
figured you were under attack.
- Look, we're just trying
to help you girls out, okay,
We didn't mean for this to happen.
- That's right.
I, real sorry about your friend.
I didn't mean to shoot her.
Okay?
- What's uh, what's with the cameras?
- We are, we're shooting a documentary.
- A what?
- It's like a movie, Danny.
- Oh. That's cool.
- No, not cool.
I think it's time to
shut those cameras off.
Movie time's over girls.
- No, listen, we can
just go back to the house
and call the police and we'll
get it settled from there.
- Oh, well-
- Yeah, let's, let's go.
- Well, that's not such a good idea.
- Well, guys, our, our friend is dead!
- Yeah, we noticed.
- Okay, well, obviously we need to contact
authorities so they can-
- Yeah,
I hear what you're saying.
But that could bring a whole
mess of bad news upon us.
And that depends on what we
decide to tell 'em, you know?
- No, we'll tell them the truth.
It was an accident.
- Yeah, no, we'll just tell them that
yeah, you, you didn't mean to do it.
- No, we didn't, of course.
- What'd you guys, what'd
you say about a house?
- Yeah, yeah, where are you girls stayin'?
- Ray, maybe, maybe they're right.
Maybe we should all
- Wait, hold on.
- go to the station.
- Wait, hold on Clint,
I asked them a question.
You said, "Let's go back to the house."
- Oh, uh, um-
- You really don't look
like you're from around here.
- Well, we're not.
Well, well, she is.
- Beth!
- Really?
That's interesting.
Well, look, let's just
go back to your house
and we can all sit down, have a few beers,
and then maybe just talk
this whole thing out.
- Yeah, I could go for a beer.
- Hey!
Hold that.
- Clint!
- Please!
Please, somebody!
Help, please!
- Take a seat, girls.
- Why?
- Sit down!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Wasn't a very smart
thing your friend just did.
- Fuck. Fuck.
Okay, hide.
- Come on out, sweetheart.
Come on now, it's okay.
- We're not gonna hurt
you unless you want us to.
- Shut the fuck up, Danny.
The fuck did she go?
Quick little thing.
- Yes, she is.
- Thought I told you to shut that off.
- It is off.
- You think I'm stupid?
- Probably!
- Oh my God, relax!
- I'm not fucking stupid.
- She didn't mean
it, we're just scared, okay?
- Fucking asshole!
- What'd you say?
- Ahh, gotcha!
I got you, yeah!
- All right.
- Here we go!
- Get off of me!
- Pick up her fucking phone for me.
- Please.
- Oh, got some fight in you,
- Let go!
- I like that.
Let go!
- Listen, I know
you didn't shoot her
and you probably didn't even
know this was gonna happen.
Let's just get in my car and go.
- Tara, n-
- Yeah, we can call the
police and get it sorted out
and you won't be in any trouble.
We, we'll just tell 'em what happened.
- I, I, I can't do that, sorry.
- Well, yes you can, okay?
While we still have time,
let's go.
- Yeah.
- I can't do that.
- All right, Danny, put her down.
- All right.
- You sit.
Everything okay?
- Yep, no problems.
- All right, ah,
what do we got here?
Why, hello there!
All right! Let's make sure
that doesn't happen again.
Give me your cell phones.
Come on, I know you got your cell phones,
now take 'em out and
toss 'em here, right now!
Good girls.
Now it's gonna be in all our best interest
to go back to your place
and talk this through.
Anybody got a problem with that?
- Can't wait to show you girls
my shadow puppets skills when
we get back to your house.
You sure it's up here?
I don't see shit.
Hey, what are we gonna do
about that girl's body?
We're gonna have to deal with that.
- Yeah, we'll deal with it later.
- Look, if we just call the police
and tell them that you
didn't do it on purpose
they will-
- Just keep walking.
- Hey, this looks
like a pretty nice house.
How'd you girls end up with this?
- Hey, Ray.
- Hold it, ladies.
- Nice ride, who's is that?
- Which one of you got the keys?
All right, Clint, pat 'em down.
- Here.
- Thank you very much.
- Can you turn that damn thing off?
- Yeah, yeah, you get a
little camera shy, huh, Clint?
- No, I just don't think it's a good
idea to be recording all this.
- Nah, you got the wrong idea.
This little home movie's gonna be
a really fun souvenir for us one day.
- Yeah.
- Oh, this place ain't too bad.
I could get used to this!
- Take a seat, ladies.
Anybody want
a water or something?
- Really, Clint, water?
Go see if there's some
beer in the fridge, man.
- Should be a few.
- Oh, yeah?
Clint, grab a couple
beers for the ladies too.
- I think we'll pass.
- Aw, you sure?
Well, suit yourself.
- Toss it over here.
Hey, how about a toast?
- Great idea, what should we toast to?
- How about to making new friends.
- To new friends, I love it.
- Cheers, fuckers!
- Well, here we are.
- Listen, we're not gonna say-
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on a second, back it up, back it up.
We said we wanted to come over here
and have a little chat, right?
So let's have a little chat.
We just want to get to know you
girls a little better, okay?
- Where are y'all from?
- Great question.
Where's everyone from?
- I'm from the suburbs, Chicago suburbs.
- Mm, okay, okay.
- San Diego.
- San Diego, wow.
What brings you all the
way out to these parts?
- School.
- Super, that's super.
- What about you, sweetheart?
- What about me?
- Where are you from?
Your friend sitting next to you said
that you're from right here.
- That's right, she did.
- I feel like I've seen
you somewhere before.
- Excuse me?
- Yeah, I recognize you from somewhere.
- Dude, I don't know what
the fuck you're talking about, okay?
- Your name Jane?
- I think we can take that as a yes.
- You two know each other, Danny?
- Well, I went to high
school with her older sister.
Tess, right?
Yeah, I thought I recognized you.
Candy. Sweet like Candy,
we used to say, mm-mm!
- All right, I think that's enough.
- That's so interesting.
Don't you think that's interesting, uh?
- Tara.
- Tara, that's right.
So isn't it weird that
these two know each other?
- I don't know any of you.
- Come on, really?
You don't remember me?
I used to come into Coochies all the time.
- Hoochie coochies?
- Yeah, this girl
used to dance at Coochies.
I've given you a lot of
dollar bills, baby girl.
- All right, Danny, quit playing with her.
- What?
- Tell Candy and her friends here
how we really found 'em.
- All right, fine.
Saw that picture you posted earlier today.
- What?
- "We are in Hawthorne.
"Me and my ladies are on the mission
"to find the infamous Hag."
- Dammit, Candy.
- How was I supposed to know?
- You gotta be careful what
you post on the internet, girls.
- Yep.
- I'm sorry.
- Danny showed me your post,
and I said, "Bet you a million bucks
these girls are gonna go out
to that tree in the woods."
So we figured, nothing else to do tonight.
Let's go out and say hello.
- Yeah, we like making new friends.
- Yeah, well, we don't.
- Too bad you girls
pulled that little stunt
out there.
- Hey, Clint.
We've been over this already,
okay, they forgive us.
- Fuck you, asshole, rot in
hell.
- Whoa, excuse me.
- You're gonna pay for this.
I'm gonna kill you
myself, you motherfucker!
- I'd love for you to try.
- Candy, I think you need a
little time out to calm down.
Danny, grab this camera, take
her into the back bedroom
so she can cool down a little bit.
- Yeah, I like the sound of that.
Let's go.
- No, no, no, no!
- Don't touch her!
- Stop!
- Get off of her.
- Stop, don't touch her.
- Please don't.
- She didn't mean it.
Candy, just come back.
- Candy.
Candy.
- Fucking go!
Come on.
Get in there.
Why don't you stand
over by that back wall?
Lemme get a good look at you.
- Listen, I'm sorry about
what I said, but I'm calm now,
and we can go back out to the living room.
- Sweet like Candy.
Why did everybody start
calling you that anyway?
Mmm, I bet it's because you smell so good.
I bet you taste good too.
I tell you what, since it's
just you and me back here,
why don't you gimme a little show?
Huh?
Come on.
- No.
- Like you used to at the club.
I got a little confession to make.
I've always been real hard for you,
even back in school when you were
just a awkward little girl.
God, you always had that ass though.
- You fucking pervert.
I hope you choke on your own cock and die.
- What the fuck, man,
I'm not done in here.
- I think you are.
- Ray, we're just getting started.
Come on.
- Out!
Leave the camera.
- Asshole.
- Are you ready
to have some real fun?
- You like to play rough, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
- What happened, couldn't get it up?
- Take your jacket off.
Come on, have some fun with it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right, go on.
Very nice.
Don't stop there, keep going, keep going.
All right, all right, uh-huh.
Uh-huh, keep going.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, very good.
- Ah, that asshole is in
there with my girl, man.
- She's not your girl, dipshit.
- What?
- She's just, she's not your girl.
- What'd you say to me?
- She's not your girl,
so don't call her your girl.
- Stop.
- Say that again.
- Stop, get it
outta my face, please, stop!
- Go ahead and say that again.
- Go ahead.
- Get it outta my face!
- Oh, Jesus, what-
What the hell they doing now?
- Stop, you're being an asshole.
You're gonna,
you are gonna pay for that.
You are gonna pay.
- Candy!
- No you don't!
You are gonna-
- Stop!
- So you like playing it rough, huh?
- Next time you do that-
- What?
- Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
- Danny!
- Oh God, God, no.
- Clint, go check on him.
- On who?
- On Danny, you fucking moron!
- He's dead, man, he's fucking dead!
- He was my best friend.
You bitches killed my best friend!
- The gun went off when you fell on it,
asshole.
Hey, Ray, be cool, man.
We don't have to do this.
- Nah, you're right.
Not yet, anyway.
- What?
- Look around this place.
See if you can find some rope.
We're gonna have a
little bit of fun first.
You know what's really sad
about this whole thing, girls?
I was planning to let you go.
I really was.
After all, I know all the cops out here.
You don't think I know the law
out here?
- Fuck you!
- I've lived out here my whole life!
Shut the hell up.
- Ray, let me talk to you
about-
- You shut the hell up too.
Yeah, I was gonna let you all go.
Then you had to go and kill Danny.
- You killed him!
- So now I'm afraid we're
gonna have to deal with that.
- This ain't what I signed up for, Ray,
come on, man.
- Not another word outta you.
Untie my friend Candy here.
We're gonna finish what we started in the
bedroom.
All right, you know what,
you got a bad attitude.
I don't like you anymore.
This one.
- No!
- Let's get some fresh meat.
- What's that?
- I'm sorry, I can't hear
a word you're saying.
- I said, "I hope you
die in a chemical fire."
- Oh, wow.
Well, that's not what I thought you said.
So I'll give you that.
Now get down on your knees.
Record this.
- Please stop, please.
- What the hell is that?
- I, I don't know, man.
Maybe we should just get outta here.
- Just when things were
getting fun. Fuck no!
Go check it out.
- What?
- I said go check it out!
- Okay, okay.
- You know this could be a little
more fun if you would just relax and-
Oh, ow!
- Get them untied and
get the hell outta here.
Oh!
- What were those noises?
- I don't know but hold still, okay?
- It can't be, can it?
- What the f-
- No!
Jesus!
- Hurry up!
- I'm trying but
the knots are tight.
- Ray's pants, get his knife.
- No, wait, that's my favorite knife.
Give it back!
No!
- Oh my God, it's her.
Tara, it's her, it's her!
- Oh fuck! Fuck!
- I'm not afraid of you!
- I'm your friend!
- Tara, I'm sorry.
444, 444.
- What?
- Tara?
- Let's go.
- I know, I know.
Come on, get up, we gotta go.
- No, no, no, no, no, no,
I can't go back out there.
- No, we can't-
- We can't go back out there.
- We cannot stay in here.
- How was she, how the fuck is it real?
Did you see what it did to Beth?
- I don't know how she's real,
but if we stay in here she's gonna
find us and kill us too, okay?
Let's find something to
defend ourselves with, okay?
Come, come on.
- Do you know how to use that?
- No, not really.
- What are you doing?
- If we're gonna live through this,
we might as well have
something to show for it.
- How are we supposed to leave,
that jackass took your car keys.
- Oh, dammit.
Fuck, where would they be?
- Wait, what about the book?
Can we do something with that?
- The book?
- Yes, the spell book.
Beth used it to summon that thing.
- Candy, I have no idea.
I just know we need to get the keys
and get the fuck out of here.
- They're gone, Tara.
- No, no, wait, that guy Ray had them
and then he gave 'em to that other guy.
- Oh, was it Chad?
No, I think it was Chet.
- Who gives a fuck?
I think The Hag tore his
body up near the woods,
we can go back and get the keys.
- You wanna go look for
his shitty dead body
while that thing is still out there?
- I mean, we're in the
middle of fucking nowhere,
do we have any other choice?
- Let's get some shirts on first.
- Yeah.
- I don't see anything.
- Okay, cool, let's go.
- Okay, don't look at her.
Don't look at her.
- Hey, what did she say to you?
- I don't know.
- Oh, gross.
- Okay, we need to find the keys.
- Hey, wasn't there a gun on him?
- Oh.
- Where'd it go?
- Right here, baby.
- Ray, just,
listen, we can just go
back to my car and leave.
- You really
don't get it, do you?
- What the hell's wrong
with you, dude, let's go!
- Nobody's going anywhere.
I'm gonna kill both of you.
Then I'm gonna hunt down that
ugly bitch and kill her too.
And then I'm gonna drag
your bodies into the house
and I'm gonna burn it to the ground.
Nobody's ever gonna know I was here.
- Candy!
- Candy, Candy.
No, no, no.
Fuck it, might as well.
Ray!
Come on.
Ray!
Fuck, where is he?
This way.
Come on, where is he?
Where is he?
Oh, oh.
Come on, Ray!
Oh, fuck.
Ray!
- Ah.
- It's over, Ray,
give me the keys.
- No, forget it.
There's no way either of
us are getting outta here.
- Give me the fucking keys, asshole.
I will put you in the back of my car
and take you to the hospital.
- After all this, you'd do that?
- Yes, we still have time!
- I don't think so.
You should,
you should just kill me
and then kill yourself.
- No, keys, now!
- I knew that girl wasn't The Hag.
Hell, I never even
heard of The Hag before.
I just felt like killing someone!
- You motherfucker!
- Do it.
What are you waiting for?
Fucking-
- Where?
Ugh, that bitch.
Okay.
- Oh, the book.
Oh, 444. Page 444. Beth!
Negative spirit, you cannot stay.
We reject this evil, be on your way.
We command you to leave, we banish thee.
As above, and so below.
So may it be.
Negative spirit, you cannot stay.
We reject this evil, be on your way.
We command you to leave, we banish thee.
As above, so below, so may it be.
Negative spirit, you cannot stay!
We reject this evil, be on your way.
We command you to leave, we banish thee.
As above, so below, so may it be.
Take out the keys.
- I'm sorry about what
happened to your friends.
- Thank you.
- And I'm sorry about what
happened to you as well.
- Yeah, well, I'm here. I'm alive.
- That you are.
Tara, I need you to do something for me.
I need you to look me in the eye
and I need you to swear
to me that everything
that happened on that video
is how it truly happened.
- It really happened.
- And you believe The Hag is real?
- Yes.
- You didn't manipulate this footage
in any way, shape, or form?
- No, absolutely not!
Some of the files were
corrupt towards the end,
but I did the best I
could with what I had.
- In the footage, Beth, she was telling
the stories, the legends.
- I don't know.
Maybe none of it's true.
Maybe The Hag is just
a cold-blooded killer.
Or maybe she's a ghost or
from another dimension.
I just don't, I don't know.
- Tara, you understand
that the press is never
gonna believe this, let
alone a judge and a jury.
- I don't care.
I know what happened.
I lived through it, Mr. Davidson.
I mean, you can tell I didn't just
walk out of there unharmed.
My life is completely different now
and it's never gonna be the same.
I know that.
Nobody believes me.
I'm not even sure my parents believe me.
Everyone thinks I'm just confused
or traumatized because
of what those men did.
Like I just had to find a way to cope
with what happened to me and
what happened to my friends.
- The problem is, in the footage
we don't see your friends getting killed.
- They're victims.
Victims of The Hag,
victims of those men.
And who knows how many
other victims there are.
Yeah, I'm alive.
But Beth and Candy and
Alyssa, they're not.
The Hag is real
and she's still out there.
And I'm going back to kill her.
- How would you like some help with that?
- What?
- We've been tracking this
creature for 10 years,
trying to capture The Hag.
We've been combing this area
for any evidence we could find.
- I don't, I don't understand.
- I'm John Davidson.
I'm with the FBI.
I'm here to help you, Miss Cordell.
- I thought you said you were a lawyer.
- I never said I was.
I never said I wasn't,
but I never said I was,
but while we're on the subject,
rest assured the bureau will make sure
that you have the proper legal
representation when the time comes.
- Where did you get all of this?
- I work with a special
division of the FBI.
We track this kind of phenomena.
Now, obviously we heard about your story
and I was directed to come here
to authenticate its veracity.
- You believe me?
- Tara, I've been
waiting 10 years for you.
You're the very first person to have
any concrete proof that
this creature exists.
Yeah, I believe you.
- But what about those
questions you were asking me?
- I mean, you understand I had
to be a hundred percent sure.
I work with a very elite team
of experts in this field.
We want to go after The Hag.
But the question for you is,
did you mean what you
said a few minutes ago?
Are you ready to go back in there?
And are you ready to
help us kill this witch?
You make me nervous and
you fuck with my dreams
But I like you
I know it's worth it,
so I beg and I plead
It excites you
This is not the first time, I'll admit
That I need it
Put that cherry flavor on your lips
And I'll eat it
Bring out the devil and the
child in me, gimme candy
Are you candy
Wake me up early just
to put me to sleep
Give me candy
All your candy
Nothing sweeter on my
tongue Gave me a taste
But I just couldn't have one
My favorite flavor and my
secret to keep, gimme candy
All your candy
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Don't tell me that
La la la la la la la la
I'll tell you what
I've heard about
La la la la la la la la
Give me more, give me more
Give me more and I'll scream
Bring out the devil and the
child in me, gimme candy
All your candy
Wake me up early just
to put me to sleep
Give me candy
All your candy
Nothing sweeter on my tongue
Gave me a taste but I
just couldn't have one
My favorite flavor and my
secret to keep, gimme candy
Are you Candy?
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Give me candy
La la la la la la la la
Give me candy
La la la la la la la la
Are you Candy?
- Tell us what
we're doing out here.
- Oh, well,
we're hunting for The Hag.
- Oh, I like that.
Oh my God.
- Oh, my God.
Oversized load?
- Same. Honk, honk.
- I don't think you really understand
how much trouble you're in.
And this is not gonna
help your case, Tara.
I wanted to talk to you today because
as I understood it, you were ready
to finally take this seriously.
Do you have any idea how big
a shitshow you're really in?
Have you been following what
the media says about you?
Every website, every news
show, every newspaper,
they all think you're guilty.
Everybody thinks you're guilty.
Even the conspiracy theory
websites think you're guilty.
Now, I want to help you, Tara.
- Watch the footage.
- Tara, I'm not gonna sit here
all day watching this footage.
- You really wanna help me?
Watch the footage.
Do you know how many
lawyers I've talked to
since all this happened?
I told my parents I'm
done talking to lawyers,
but you insisted that I
come here and talk to you
because you said you could help me.
I had to fight a mob of reporters
just to get into the building.
So if you really wanna
help me, watch the footage.
I spent two months holed
up in my parents' basement,
putting all of this together,
just trying to get someone
to listen, trying to get
someone to believe me.
So either you watch the
footage from the beginning
or I walk out of here right now.
- Okay.
You win, Miss Cordell.
Let's see this hag you're talking about.
- Warning, the following footage
contains scenes of assault, graphic
violence, and disturbing situations.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Hi, I'm Tara and this is my-
Hi, my name is Tara Cordell
and this is my documentary.
I'm about to embark on a journey
with a few of my friends,
Beth, Candy, and Alyssa.
We're going to uncover the truth
about a mysterious creature
in central Illinois,
known to the locals as the Hawthorne Hag.
We're gonna try to capture it on
camera for the first time ever.
I hope you'll join me in this adventure.
Thank you.
Whew, okay, how was that, let's see.
- So on the left,
- Yeah, some corn.

And on the right side,
you'll see some corn.
- Nice, I love corn.
Some weeds, okay.
- Impressed.
and, uh.
- Not the fun kind.
- Hey, Beth?
- Yes?
- Where are we?
- We're in your car, which is weird
'cause you're in the back seat.
- No, I mean, tell
us where we're going.
- Oh, I have no idea.
Ask Candy.
- You booked the place, you have no idea?
- I don't how to, like,

- Okay, back up, back up.

- Oh my God.
- Oh my God,
Over-sized load?
- Same. Honk, honk!
- Uh, Beth here is our resident expert.
So tell us a little bit about The Hag.
Who is she exactly?
- I thought you said you were gonna

- No, yeah, I am, just gimme a little,
like something, just like tease us.
- Okay.
- Oh my God.
- Okay, well, The Hag, the Hawthorne Hag
is an old woman who's said to live
deep in the woods down here.
And um, yeah, that's all
I'm gonna say for now.
- Oh, such a tease!
Candy, where are you taking us to hunt
for this mysterious old woman?
- There's a place called
the Hawthorne Woods,
and that's why the creature's
called the Hawthorne Hag,
you see?
- I see, I see.
So, Candy, why are you driving my car?
- So I am from central Illinois
and I know that getting to
Hawthorne be a little bit tricky.
So, you know, just think of me
as your local tour guide, I guess.
- Oh.
- Nice.
We are on Candy's Hag Tour.
- That's right, bitches,
- Hag Tour.
15 dollars!
- 15 bucks? No way!
- 15 dollars?
- Pay up!
- We're not at the strip club.
- You can let me
out here with the corn.
- Tara, you should have told us
that your air conditioning doesn't
work in the car.
- Yeah.
- Sorry, guys.
- Big deal breaker.
- Is this it?
Oh, cows!
- Cows!
- Oh! Oh my, Tara, your booty
looks phenomenal.
- Oh my God, Candy.
You do know what kind
of film this is, right?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a very serious documentary.
Please, Miss Director, tell us
where we are and what we're doing.
- We are in Hawthorne.
Gassing up the car and getting snacks.
- Oh, and beer.
- And beer for Candy.
- Woo.
- Oh my God.
What the hell did she get?
- I thought she was just
going in for pretzels.
Oh, I need to get a picture
of this.
- A little help, please?
Hurry up, I'm gonna drop

- "Marry, Fuck, Kill".
- Oh no.

Okay, Slender Man,
- Mm-hmm.
- Mothman,
- Mm-hmm.
- Loch Ness Monster?
- What?
- Um-
Dammit.

- Alyssa says she can't make it.
- Aw, really?
- What are you doing?
- FaceTiming her, I want answers.
Hi, Candy.
- Hey, you're not coming down?
- No, I'm sorry.
- What happened?
- Nothing.
Just got a bunch of homework to do.
- All weekend?
Come on, you're gonna make Beth cry
if you don't come down here.
- I know, I'm sorry.
- Uhg, it's all right.
We'll let Tara know, okay?
- Okay, yeah, thanks.
- Yeah, we'll talk to you soon.
- Yeah, have a good time! Bye, Beth.
- Bye.
- Bye, Alyssa.
Dude.
- Got your beer, Candy.
- Hell yeah.
- Tara, Alyssa says she can't make it.
- What, why not?
- School shit, I guess.
- Wait, why was she
coming down in the first place?
- To help us shoot this thing.
- Well, maybe we are better
off with less people.
- Yeah, but she's my bestie,
I wanted her to be here.
- Uh, we can just invite
her to the premiere party.
- Yeah, okay.
- I'm not your bestie?
- We are in Hawthorne, woo, woo!
- Woop, woop.
- Me and my ladies are on
the mission to find the infamous Hag.
- Oh, I love that.
- Yeah.
- Which one are you posting?
- The only good one.
- I think we actually are almost here.
- We're living out in the sticks.
- Yeah, yeah, it's right here.
- This driveway's really long.
- Yeah.
- This is scary.
- But it's kind of cute.
- Oh, you think it's cute?
I think it's scary.
- Oh, it's so cute!
- Cats!
- Meow.
You good?
Ah, okay.
Oooh!
- Oh, it feels so good in here.
- Shit.
- Wow.
- Okay. Hey look,
they've got like a moose on the wall.
- That's a deer.
- Oh.
- Cute.
More cups.
- This is cute.
- Yeah, love this.
Home sweet home.
- Home sweet home.
- Let's go check out the woods.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- So the website said
if we walk back this way,
we should see where the property
connects to the Hawthorne Woods.
- Wow.
So cool you found this place, Beth.
Ooh, here's that fire pit thing.
- Oh, hell yeah.
We should light that up later tonight.
- Ooh, I can tell
you guys some Hag stories.
- Awesome.
- How far back does it go?
- Pretty far, it looks like.
- Ooh, I can see the woods.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, my mic came off.
- Oh, okay.
Aww yeah!
The Hag.
She out there somewhere?
Tonight we find out.
Hey, guys?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So if we come back with all
of our, like, camera gear and lights
and stuff like that, this
is the path, right, Candy?
- Oh yeah, this is the right path.
It's pretty simple, you just follow it.
- No, actually, I'm sorry, guys.
It's not this trail.
I think you should just leave the
directions to me, to be honest.
- I'm cool with whatever.
- Okay, if you promise you won't
get us lost, we'll follow you.
- Oh, trust me, yeah, I've
done all the research.
I know where we need to go.
- Candy.
Ooh.
Oh, this is cool.
I love this shot.
Jesus fucking Christ,
Beth.
- What the hell was that?
- Oh my God.
- Oh, sorry,
I couldn't help myself.
- Where'd you even come from?
- This door goes to the patio.
- I hate you.
Ooh.
- Oh, dibs
on the big bed.
- I don't know, Candy.
Is today going to be a great day?
- I hope so.
That is, if the Hag doesn't kill us all.
- Dun-dun.
- Hey, you wanna play me later?
- Yeah, sure.
- Sweet.
Have you seen the pool yet?
- No, where?
- Right out there.
- Oh, wow.
- Cannonball, cannonball!
- Cannonball, cannonball!
- Open up, open up.
- So Candy.
- So Tara.
- Do you believe in
this legend of The Hag?
- Me? Hell no.
- Oh, really, why not?
- You know, same reason I don't
believe in Bigfoot or Jesus.
Yeah, I just haven't seen any of them.
My sister swear she's seen it.
- The Hag?
- Mm-hmm, yeah, her and her friends
were out in the woods a few years ago,
and they were just drinking,
and I don't know, fucking around,
and I guess they heard some strange noises
and they could have sworn that
something was following them.
So they hauled ass out of there.
- Okay, so you don't
think The Hag is real,
but you came all the way
down here to check it out?
- No, I came all the way down here
'cause I was promised free beer
all weekend.
- Woo!
- Okay, fair point,
I did promise that.
- Yeah. No, I mean, it sounded fun.
And you know, I have a
pretty great roommate,
so I figured why not, I'd help out.
- Aw.
- Wait, is Candy your dancer name?
- No.
- Is Candy your real name?
- No.
- All right, I'm pretty sure
I know the answer to
this, but I'll ask anyway.
Beth, do you think the
Hawthorne Hag is real?
- Yes. Absolutely.
- And what makes
you think it's real?
- There's some pretty compelling evidence.
Well, maybe evidence isn't the right word.
There's a lot of stories that line up.
Lots of people down here have claimed
to see her, whatever she is.
- But nobody has ever
been able to document it?
- Right, yeah, nobody's
ever gotten her on camera
or taken any photos or anything
like that, as far as I know.
And that's where we come in.
- Yeah.
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, chupacabra, ghosts,
Mothman, you name it,
I am kind of obsessed.
- And now The Hag.
- Oh, she's out there.
And we're gonna find her.
Do you believe in the Hawthorne Hag?
- I mean, how could she not?
It's her project.
- Is your name...
Tara?
- Wow.
- Okay, go.
- No, believe is an interesting word.
I'm kind of like on the
fence about all this.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, I wanna believe,
- Okay, Fox Mulder.
- but, who?
- Shh, Candy, be quiet.
- It's cheesy, but that's
really how I feel about it.
Like, I wanna believe that ghosts are real
or that Bigfoot is real,
or The Hag is real.
But I've just never seen anything myself
that would lead me to believe they are.
- Just because you
haven't seen it though,
- No, right, yeah.
- doesn't make-
- That's, yeah.
- Your brain is real.
But you haven't seen your brain.
- Or your liver.
What kind of a filmmaker
would you like to be?
- Hmm.
- You know, before you eventually
get into like porn and snuff.
- No, yeah, right, no.
Yeah, I think I wanna
stick with documentaries.
Anything that will give
people a different perspective
or open up their eyes to
something they didn't know about.
- Like the Hawthorne Hag.
- Actually, I didn't know
anything about The Hag
until you two, so this is just
as much your movie as it is mine.
- Okay.
- Are you scared about tonight?
- I don't know about scared,
but like excited for sure.
And maybe a little nervous.
- You guys are gonna
be scared outta your minds.
- Probably, yeah.
Geez.
- I know, I hope
this clears up soon.
- No, I think the forecast
said it will, don't worry.
- There is
no really authentic way
for us to say who or what to look for
and guard yourself against.
Misshapen monsters -
- Hey Beth, whatcha doing?
- I am reviewing the directions,
most important part by far.
- Okay, good.
Please don't get us lost tomorrow.
If I don't call my sister,
she'll actually kill me.
- Nah, I'm a human compass.
- Sweet.
Do we need, do we need weapons?
What if we run into,
like, a bear or something?
- We just have to make ourselves look
really big and yell, like, really loud.
- Oh, yeah?
We got a bear expert here, wow!
Oh, you found another log,
cool.
- Yeah.
- Awesome. Sweet. Nice and warm.
Let me just get this
second camera set up, Beth,
and then we'll turn you loose.
- Cool.
- Okay.
I think it's recording, yeah, we're good.
All right, Beth, if we're gonna go
into these woods tonight, we need to know
what we're getting ourselves into.
- All right.
- The Hawthorne Hag, who is she?
Where does she come from?
- Well, obviously nobody
knows for sure, right?
But according to most
versions of the legend,
The Hag is someone who lived here
in the Hawthorne area in the early 1800s.
Her name was Ollie Yarger.
- Oh wait, she was a real person?
- Yeah, just a little old lady.
But she was falsely accused of
murdering a young boy in the town.
Ollie swore she didn't do it,
but local authorities had
her publicly executed.
- Oh my God.
- Wait, why would an old lady
want to kill a little kid?
- Or why would they think she killed him?
- She may have been
involved in some witchcraft,
which was obviously frowned
upon back in the day.
Or it's entirely possible that there
were just rumors about her going around.
It's hard to say. Either way, Ollie Yarger
was hanged from a tree
branch in these very woods.
- Jesus.
- On the day she died, she
stood under the hanging tree
and screamed that she was innocent.
She told the townspeople that they would
never sleep again for
what they'd done to her.
- Oh, shit!
They up fucked up.
- Candy, drink your beer.
- They buried Ollie
in an unmarked grave and
everyone tried to move on,
but sure enough, people started
having trouble sleeping.
Several residents claim
that late at night,
a dark figure would enter their
room and sit on their chest.
They couldn't move, they couldn't speak,
they couldn't scream.
All they could do was watch in horror
as Ollie hovered above
them singing a little song,
torturing them for what they'd done.
- Oh my God, that's so creepy.
- Yeah, well, it's a good
thing we're staying up tonight,
'cause no one's sitting on my chest
unless I'm getting paid for it.
- I know you're joking,
but that is a good point.
If we do get too tired out there,
I'm not sure what's gonna happen.
- If it means we catch The
Hag on camera, I'm all for it.
Let's get real fucking sleepy.
- I mean, even if we're wide awake,
who knows, we could still bump into her.
- That's true, I mean,
Candy's sister and her friends
weren't sleeping.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, but they were drunk
and high out of their minds.
- Well, we don't know what sets her off.
It could be falling asleep.
It could be just being out
there on her turf, you know?
- There's only one way to find out,
right?
- Yep.
Although there is one thing we could try.
It might be a little dangerous though.
- Oooh, now we're talking.
- What is it?
- When I was doing my research,
I came across a spell, an incantation
that might sort of help draw her out.
- Why is it dangerous?
- Because it might work.
- Why not, let's do it.
- Yes!
- So this is the spell book?
- Yeah, there's
tons of stuff in here.
Just gimme a couple minutes
to memorize the incantation.
- Great, I'm scared.
- Okay, now close your eyes
and repeat everything I say.
- Shh!
- Shh!
- Shh, shh.
- We call upon the spirit of Ollie Yarger.
- {Together] We call upon
the spirit of Ollie Yarger.
- We ask to see you in your tangible form.
- We ask to see
you in your tangible form.
- We summon you to this place and
make ourselves available to you.
- We summon you to this place,
and make ourselves available to you.
- We align ourselves and this deep desire
with the good of all things.
- We align ourselves and this
deep desire with the good of all things.
- We mean you no harm, and we
ask that you do not harm us.
- We mean you no harm
and we ask that you do not harm us.
- When we speak your name three times,
you may manifest yourself.
- When we speak
your name three times,
you may manifest yourself.
- Now say her name.
- Ollie Yarger,
Ollie Yarger, Ollie Yarger.
- As above and so below, so may it be.
- As above and
so below, so may it be.
- Oh my God!
Candy, shut the fuck up!
All right, that should be good.
How's that feel?
- Good.
Nice and snug.
- Cool.
Candy, can you hand me the other one?
- I can't see in front of me.
- Don't worry, your
fearless leader is here.
- God, it's so creepy.
- All right.
- Oh my God, bugs.
- Is that a, oh my God.
- Love that for you.
It's a stick.
It's a stick.
No,
- Oh God.
- No, there was
something in my face. Oh no.
- Oh my God.
- Alright, ladies.
What, what, what,
what, what, what?
What?
- Oh, that's a really big bug.
- They like my titties.
- Alright. Guys, we gotta focus,
all right?
- Okay, okay, okay.
- The Hag doesn't like screaming.
She likes to cause screaming.
- Yeah, okay.
- Are you mad about that?
- Oh my goodness,
you scared me.
- All right,
there's a little bit of a spider web.
- Oh, no.
- Yep, and I felt it.
- Ope, I just
spilled beer all over
myself.
- Oh, no.
- Oh my God, you
guys, look at that spider.
- Holy-
- That's a, oh my God.
- Oh, wow, it's moving!
- Shit.
- I don't know.
- Does she like,
she just like lives out
here, does she have like,
like a cabin, an abandoned
cabin or something?
- Uh, some reports have said
that she lives in the
trunk of the hanging tree.
- Oh.
- Some reports
have just been like
people running into her.
- And we're going
to the hanging tree now?
- Yes, we're going
to the hanging tree.
- Okay.
- I would say
that's your best bet.
- What is that?
- It's an EMF meter.
- What does it do?
- It's designed to
detect electromagnetic fields.
If there's a big spike, it could
indicate the presence of something.
- Presence of The Hag?
- Of The Hag, of a
ghost, I mean, who knows?
- We're not here
to look for ghosts though.
- How do we know The Hag isn't a ghost?
- Fair point.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Ollie?
Oh, Miss Yarger?
Shit. You're gonna piss her off.
- Oh, this is so fucking creepy!
- I'm not scared.
- Oh my God, what?
- Oh, fuck.
Uh, Candy, can you, there's
a map in my backpack.
- You hold my beer?
- Yeah.
Okay, we're here...
Okay. Cool, you can put it back.
Thank you.
- You sure?
- Mm-hmm.
- See anything?
- Oh, God.
How much longer until
the hanging tree thing?
- I think we got about
a half a mile right now.
- What the fuck?
- Are they having sex?
- Or they're eating
each other, I have no idea.
- Candy, do you see something?
- Nah, I'm just drunk.
- Fuck!
So many fucking spiders, Jesus Christ.
Last beer.
- What number is that, Candy?
- Huh? I don't fucking know.
- Okay.
- Not enough, that's for sure.
All right...
- Uh-oh.
- I think we're getting close, guys.
On the forums, it said, when
you see the prairie grass,
you're getting close to the clearing.
And I'm pretty sure it'd be a left.
- Pretty sure?
Yeah, that's real comforting, Beth.
- No, wait, this is it.
This is it.
- Oh, well, if the forums say it.
- Follow me.
- Yeah, if you say so.
- Oh, shit, okay.
You guys doing okay?
- Yeah.
Shit, oh fuck.
Fuck.
- Oh my God, oh my God.
What the fuck was that?
- You guys see anything?
- Tara.
Shh.
- What was that?
- Shh.
- Whatever it was, it was close.
- Okay, let's keep
going but be very quiet.
- Goddamnit.
- Okay. Shit.
- Oh my God.
- Holy shit.
- Oh my God.
- We found it, you guys!
- Oh, no.
- I can't believe it
actually exists.
- Oh my God, what the fuck?
Holy shit, Beth, it's real.
- See this?
- Oh, shit.
- Oh, God.
- Yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
Oh, wow.
- Hey, Tara, come get this.
- Oh my God. Yeah, baby.
- Guys, I don't like this.
- Well, we did it.
- It's like really eerie over here.
- Yeah, how long are we staying over here?
- God.
- Oh my God, is that the noose?
- Oh, fuck.
- Oh my God.
- No, no, no.
- Shit.
Oh ho. Oh fuck no.
Wait, don't touch it.
- Shit.
- Not gonna touch it.
- Are you fucking
- Oh, let's get that
- kidding me?
- on camera.
Gettin' this, Tara?
- Holy shit.
- Tara, I think we should go.
- I think we should too.
- Yeah.
- I don't like this.
- Let's get a few more shots,
and then we can just head back, okay?
- Okay, I think we got
enough, I think we should go.
- Yeah, I agree - oh
- You okay, Beth?
- Oh.
- Tara?
- Yes, Beth?
- Candy?
- What are, what is she doing?
- Beth, are you okay?
- Beth?
- I'm really tired.
- Oh, no, no, no.
- Beth, snap out of it.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Beth, snap out of it.
- Tara.
- Beth.
- What the fuck was that?
- Candy?
- Beth, Beth, please snap
out of it.
- Tara?
Oh my God!
- Gotcha!
Hi, Tara.
- Alyssa?
What?
- How's it going?
- What the fuck?
Where did you even come from?
- Uh, I'm The Hag.
I live out here.
- Oh my God!
- That was amazing!
- What the fuck?
- Oh my God.
Are you okay, Tara?
- I dunno, just,
I need a minute.
Why are you laughing?
- Oh, come on.
She got you real good, that was awesome.
- Are you happy, Beth,
is that what you were
hoping for?
- Girl, that was perfect.
- Wait.
- Thank you.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Beth, you knew about this?
- Okay, don't be mad, I
just figured this project
could use a few extra scares, that's all.
- What?
Oh my God.
- Hell yeah.
Oh fuck, that's actually really hilarious.
Alyssa, how did you even
fucking find us out here?
- So, Beth gave me the
location of the house,
and I just found a spot in the woods
to do my makeup and to wait for you guys.
- That's incredible,
I think I shit myself.
- Tara for sure thought she was gonna die.
- Oh yeah she did.
- Yeah, she did.
- Look at her! Tara!
- Oh, wait, wait.
Wait, how did you get down here?
- I got a car.
- Oh.
- I parked like, I don't know,
a mile or so down the road.
- Oh.
- That's why
she's my bestie, woot woot.
- That, I'm sorry, that
deserves a golf clap.
Oh my God.
Come on, Tara, golf clap.
- No.
- Dude, are you for real pissed?
- Yeah, I wanted this to
be a legitimate thing.
- It is.
- No, it's not.
Is this a fucking joke to you?
- No, no, it's not, no.
- Tara, relax.
- Yeah.
- No, don't fucking tell me to relax.
I came all the way down here and you guys
aren't even taking this seriously.
- We are! We're trying to
make this interesting for you.
- Yeah, we just wanted
to get some interesting
footage, that's all.
- Fuck this, I'm going home.
- Tara, no, stop,
don't be like that.
- No, because I'm out here busting my ass
and you guys are just
dicking around with pranks.
Do you even believe in any of this shit?
- Of course I do, it's just like,
who knows if we're gonna
get anything, okay?
I did this because I wanted you
to have some interesting footage.
I'm sorry, okay?
- Whatever.
- Look, let's just, let's just
get a few more shots, okay?
Alyssa can just chase us out of the woods.
- Beth, I'm not getting
any more shots, I'm done.
And I'm not gonna be a part of your
fucking lies.
- Okay, Jesus Christ.
Just give me the camera then, I'll do it.
- Yeah, let's at least
finish the Hag stuff.
- There is no Hag!
- Hey! I came all the way down here
and put on all this makeup for this.
- Tara, just let them do it.
- And you just
think this whole thing
is so fucking funny, don't you?
- Yes, actually.
- Tara, it'll take five minutes.
Just give me the camera.
- Come on.
We can just hang out
the rest of the weekend.
Have fun.
Relax.
Just give them the camera.
- Fine, whatever, here.
- Okay, awesome.
- We're not done
talking about this.
- Yeah, okay, I get
it, you're pissed at me.
We'll talk later, okay.
- Okay, where do you want me, Beth?
- I actually, I
wanna do another take.
Tara, can you just like hold-
- Oh, absolutely fucking not.
- Oh my God, Candy?
- Yeah, I can do it.
- Okay, just, can
you hold that for a minute?
And then, Alyssa, can you back
up behind the hanging tree?
- Okay.
- And Candy?
- Yeah?
- You can fall down in the same spot,
and then when she's hovering
over you just hold it steady.
Make sure it's steady.
- Yeah, I can try.
- Okay.
- Unbelievable.
- All right, uh-
- Are we ready?
- I'm ready, Alyssa, are you ready?
- Ready!
- Okay.
- Okay.
And - action.
- Oh,
did you guys hear that?
- Shh, shh, Candy, be quiet.
- What is that?
- I can't-
Oh my God!
Candy, no!
Tara, do something!
Help me!
- What the fuck was that?
- Oh my God, oh my God.
- What was that?
- Okay if this is
another one of your bullshit ass pranks,
I'm not falling for it.
- Oh, no, no, no.
No, it's not, no, it's not.
Oh my God.
- Holy shit.
- Oh-
Oh, fuck, Alyssa!
- Oh my God.
- Alyssa, no!
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my
God, oh my God, oh my God.
Shh, shh, what was that?
Oh my God!
- Shit, that was loud, Ray.
seemed like-
- What is, what?
- Shit, don't care about us.
- That's what I say.
- You know what I'm sayin'?
Hey, you girls okay?
- Look at 'em, Ray.
You just shot somebody in the-
- Clint, I got this.
- No, we're definitely not okay.
- The hell happened?
- How about you tell us?
- Look, whoa, hold on.
Just, just, lets everybody just stay calm.
- Stay calm?
You just killed my friend!
- Goddamn, we
should have gotten closer
before you-
- Clint, come on.
Enough, shut the fuck up!
Look, just let me do all the talking here.
Listen, we were out in the woods
and we heard you guys screaming
so we ran out to help you.
I'm Ray, this is Clint, this is Danny.
Ladies. We heard that
thing coming after you so-
- Did you not hear us, asshole?
You just shot our friend
in the fucking face!
- Hey! Did you not hear him?
It was an accident, show some respect.
- This is bad, Ray, this
is real fucking bad.
You shouldn't have shot
- Clint!
- Her so quick.
- Enough, enough!
Don't make me say it again, goddamit.
We were hunting.
- Deer, we're hunting deer.
- Right, deer.
And we're from around here.
We know about The Hag, okay?
And we heard the screams, we
figured you were under attack.
- Look, we're just trying
to help you girls out, okay,
We didn't mean for this to happen.
- That's right.
I, real sorry about your friend.
I didn't mean to shoot her.
Okay?
- What's uh, what's with the cameras?
- We are, we're shooting a documentary.
- A what?
- It's like a movie, Danny.
- Oh. That's cool.
- No, not cool.
I think it's time to
shut those cameras off.
Movie time's over girls.
- No, listen, we can
just go back to the house
and call the police and we'll
get it settled from there.
- Oh, well-
- Yeah, let's, let's go.
- Well, that's not such a good idea.
- Well, guys, our, our friend is dead!
- Yeah, we noticed.
- Okay, well, obviously we need to contact
authorities so they can-
- Yeah,
I hear what you're saying.
But that could bring a whole
mess of bad news upon us.
And that depends on what we
decide to tell 'em, you know?
- No, we'll tell them the truth.
It was an accident.
- Yeah, no, we'll just tell them that
yeah, you, you didn't mean to do it.
- No, we didn't, of course.
- What'd you guys, what'd
you say about a house?
- Yeah, yeah, where are you girls stayin'?
- Ray, maybe, maybe they're right.
Maybe we should all
- Wait, hold on.
- go to the station.
- Wait, hold on Clint,
I asked them a question.
You said, "Let's go back to the house."
- Oh, uh, um-
- You really don't look
like you're from around here.
- Well, we're not.
Well, well, she is.
- Beth!
- Really?
That's interesting.
Well, look, let's just
go back to your house
and we can all sit down, have a few beers,
and then maybe just talk
this whole thing out.
- Yeah, I could go for a beer.
- Hey!
Hold that.
- Clint!
- Please!
Please, somebody!
Help, please!
- Take a seat, girls.
- Why?
- Sit down!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Wasn't a very smart
thing your friend just did.
- Fuck. Fuck.
Okay, hide.
- Come on out, sweetheart.
Come on now, it's okay.
- We're not gonna hurt
you unless you want us to.
- Shut the fuck up, Danny.
The fuck did she go?
Quick little thing.
- Yes, she is.
- Thought I told you to shut that off.
- It is off.
- You think I'm stupid?
- Probably!
- Oh my God, relax!
- I'm not fucking stupid.
- She didn't mean
it, we're just scared, okay?
- Fucking asshole!
- What'd you say?
- Ahh, gotcha!
I got you, yeah!
- All right.
- Here we go!
- Get off of me!
- Pick up her fucking phone for me.
- Please.
- Oh, got some fight in you,
- Let go!
- I like that.
Let go!
- Listen, I know
you didn't shoot her
and you probably didn't even
know this was gonna happen.
Let's just get in my car and go.
- Tara, n-
- Yeah, we can call the
police and get it sorted out
and you won't be in any trouble.
We, we'll just tell 'em what happened.
- I, I, I can't do that, sorry.
- Well, yes you can, okay?
While we still have time,
let's go.
- Yeah.
- I can't do that.
- All right, Danny, put her down.
- All right.
- You sit.
Everything okay?
- Yep, no problems.
- All right, ah,
what do we got here?
Why, hello there!
All right! Let's make sure
that doesn't happen again.
Give me your cell phones.
Come on, I know you got your cell phones,
now take 'em out and
toss 'em here, right now!
Good girls.
Now it's gonna be in all our best interest
to go back to your place
and talk this through.
Anybody got a problem with that?
- Can't wait to show you girls
my shadow puppets skills when
we get back to your house.
You sure it's up here?
I don't see shit.
Hey, what are we gonna do
about that girl's body?
We're gonna have to deal with that.
- Yeah, we'll deal with it later.
- Look, if we just call the police
and tell them that you
didn't do it on purpose
they will-
- Just keep walking.
- Hey, this looks
like a pretty nice house.
How'd you girls end up with this?
- Hey, Ray.
- Hold it, ladies.
- Nice ride, who's is that?
- Which one of you got the keys?
All right, Clint, pat 'em down.
- Here.
- Thank you very much.
- Can you turn that damn thing off?
- Yeah, yeah, you get a
little camera shy, huh, Clint?
- No, I just don't think it's a good
idea to be recording all this.
- Nah, you got the wrong idea.
This little home movie's gonna be
a really fun souvenir for us one day.
- Yeah.
- Oh, this place ain't too bad.
I could get used to this!
- Take a seat, ladies.
Anybody want
a water or something?
- Really, Clint, water?
Go see if there's some
beer in the fridge, man.
- Should be a few.
- Oh, yeah?
Clint, grab a couple
beers for the ladies too.
- I think we'll pass.
- Aw, you sure?
Well, suit yourself.
- Toss it over here.
Hey, how about a toast?
- Great idea, what should we toast to?
- How about to making new friends.
- To new friends, I love it.
- Cheers, fuckers!
- Well, here we are.
- Listen, we're not gonna say-
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on a second, back it up, back it up.
We said we wanted to come over here
and have a little chat, right?
So let's have a little chat.
We just want to get to know you
girls a little better, okay?
- Where are y'all from?
- Great question.
Where's everyone from?
- I'm from the suburbs, Chicago suburbs.
- Mm, okay, okay.
- San Diego.
- San Diego, wow.
What brings you all the
way out to these parts?
- School.
- Super, that's super.
- What about you, sweetheart?
- What about me?
- Where are you from?
Your friend sitting next to you said
that you're from right here.
- That's right, she did.
- I feel like I've seen
you somewhere before.
- Excuse me?
- Yeah, I recognize you from somewhere.
- Dude, I don't know what
the fuck you're talking about, okay?
- Your name Jane?
- I think we can take that as a yes.
- You two know each other, Danny?
- Well, I went to high
school with her older sister.
Tess, right?
Yeah, I thought I recognized you.
Candy. Sweet like Candy,
we used to say, mm-mm!
- All right, I think that's enough.
- That's so interesting.
Don't you think that's interesting, uh?
- Tara.
- Tara, that's right.
So isn't it weird that
these two know each other?
- I don't know any of you.
- Come on, really?
You don't remember me?
I used to come into Coochies all the time.
- Hoochie coochies?
- Yeah, this girl
used to dance at Coochies.
I've given you a lot of
dollar bills, baby girl.
- All right, Danny, quit playing with her.
- What?
- Tell Candy and her friends here
how we really found 'em.
- All right, fine.
Saw that picture you posted earlier today.
- What?
- "We are in Hawthorne.
"Me and my ladies are on the mission
"to find the infamous Hag."
- Dammit, Candy.
- How was I supposed to know?
- You gotta be careful what
you post on the internet, girls.
- Yep.
- I'm sorry.
- Danny showed me your post,
and I said, "Bet you a million bucks
these girls are gonna go out
to that tree in the woods."
So we figured, nothing else to do tonight.
Let's go out and say hello.
- Yeah, we like making new friends.
- Yeah, well, we don't.
- Too bad you girls
pulled that little stunt
out there.
- Hey, Clint.
We've been over this already,
okay, they forgive us.
- Fuck you, asshole, rot in
hell.
- Whoa, excuse me.
- You're gonna pay for this.
I'm gonna kill you
myself, you motherfucker!
- I'd love for you to try.
- Candy, I think you need a
little time out to calm down.
Danny, grab this camera, take
her into the back bedroom
so she can cool down a little bit.
- Yeah, I like the sound of that.
Let's go.
- No, no, no, no!
- Don't touch her!
- Stop!
- Get off of her.
- Stop, don't touch her.
- Please don't.
- She didn't mean it.
Candy, just come back.
- Candy.
Candy.
- Fucking go!
Come on.
Get in there.
Why don't you stand
over by that back wall?
Lemme get a good look at you.
- Listen, I'm sorry about
what I said, but I'm calm now,
and we can go back out to the living room.
- Sweet like Candy.
Why did everybody start
calling you that anyway?
Mmm, I bet it's because you smell so good.
I bet you taste good too.
I tell you what, since it's
just you and me back here,
why don't you gimme a little show?
Huh?
Come on.
- No.
- Like you used to at the club.
I got a little confession to make.
I've always been real hard for you,
even back in school when you were
just a awkward little girl.
God, you always had that ass though.
- You fucking pervert.
I hope you choke on your own cock and die.
- What the fuck, man,
I'm not done in here.
- I think you are.
- Ray, we're just getting started.
Come on.
- Out!
Leave the camera.
- Asshole.
- Are you ready
to have some real fun?
- You like to play rough, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
- What happened, couldn't get it up?
- Take your jacket off.
Come on, have some fun with it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right, go on.
Very nice.
Don't stop there, keep going, keep going.
All right, all right, uh-huh.
Uh-huh, keep going.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, very good.
- Ah, that asshole is in
there with my girl, man.
- She's not your girl, dipshit.
- What?
- She's just, she's not your girl.
- What'd you say to me?
- She's not your girl,
so don't call her your girl.
- Stop.
- Say that again.
- Stop, get it
outta my face, please, stop!
- Go ahead and say that again.
- Go ahead.
- Get it outta my face!
- Oh, Jesus, what-
What the hell they doing now?
- Stop, you're being an asshole.
You're gonna,
you are gonna pay for that.
You are gonna pay.
- Candy!
- No you don't!
You are gonna-
- Stop!
- So you like playing it rough, huh?
- Next time you do that-
- What?
- Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
- Danny!
- Oh God, God, no.
- Clint, go check on him.
- On who?
- On Danny, you fucking moron!
- He's dead, man, he's fucking dead!
- He was my best friend.
You bitches killed my best friend!
- The gun went off when you fell on it,
asshole.
Hey, Ray, be cool, man.
We don't have to do this.
- Nah, you're right.
Not yet, anyway.
- What?
- Look around this place.
See if you can find some rope.
We're gonna have a
little bit of fun first.
You know what's really sad
about this whole thing, girls?
I was planning to let you go.
I really was.
After all, I know all the cops out here.
You don't think I know the law
out here?
- Fuck you!
- I've lived out here my whole life!
Shut the hell up.
- Ray, let me talk to you
about-
- You shut the hell up too.
Yeah, I was gonna let you all go.
Then you had to go and kill Danny.
- You killed him!
- So now I'm afraid we're
gonna have to deal with that.
- This ain't what I signed up for, Ray,
come on, man.
- Not another word outta you.
Untie my friend Candy here.
We're gonna finish what we started in the
bedroom.
All right, you know what,
you got a bad attitude.
I don't like you anymore.
This one.
- No!
- Let's get some fresh meat.
- What's that?
- I'm sorry, I can't hear
a word you're saying.
- I said, "I hope you
die in a chemical fire."
- Oh, wow.
Well, that's not what I thought you said.
So I'll give you that.
Now get down on your knees.
Record this.
- Please stop, please.
- What the hell is that?
- I, I don't know, man.
Maybe we should just get outta here.
- Just when things were
getting fun. Fuck no!
Go check it out.
- What?
- I said go check it out!
- Okay, okay.
- You know this could be a little
more fun if you would just relax and-
Oh, ow!
- Get them untied and
get the hell outta here.
Oh!
- What were those noises?
- I don't know but hold still, okay?
- It can't be, can it?
- What the f-
- No!
Jesus!
- Hurry up!
- I'm trying but
the knots are tight.
- Ray's pants, get his knife.
- No, wait, that's my favorite knife.
Give it back!
No!
- Oh my God, it's her.
Tara, it's her, it's her!
- Oh fuck! Fuck!
- I'm not afraid of you!
- I'm your friend!
- Tara, I'm sorry.
444, 444.
- What?
- Tara?
- Let's go.
- I know, I know.
Come on, get up, we gotta go.
- No, no, no, no, no, no,
I can't go back out there.
- No, we can't-
- We can't go back out there.
- We cannot stay in here.
- How was she, how the fuck is it real?
Did you see what it did to Beth?
- I don't know how she's real,
but if we stay in here she's gonna
find us and kill us too, okay?
Let's find something to
defend ourselves with, okay?
Come, come on.
- Do you know how to use that?
- No, not really.
- What are you doing?
- If we're gonna live through this,
we might as well have
something to show for it.
- How are we supposed to leave,
that jackass took your car keys.
- Oh, dammit.
Fuck, where would they be?
- Wait, what about the book?
Can we do something with that?
- The book?
- Yes, the spell book.
Beth used it to summon that thing.
- Candy, I have no idea.
I just know we need to get the keys
and get the fuck out of here.
- They're gone, Tara.
- No, no, wait, that guy Ray had them
and then he gave 'em to that other guy.
- Oh, was it Chad?
No, I think it was Chet.
- Who gives a fuck?
I think The Hag tore his
body up near the woods,
we can go back and get the keys.
- You wanna go look for
his shitty dead body
while that thing is still out there?
- I mean, we're in the
middle of fucking nowhere,
do we have any other choice?
- Let's get some shirts on first.
- Yeah.
- I don't see anything.
- Okay, cool, let's go.
- Okay, don't look at her.
Don't look at her.
- Hey, what did she say to you?
- I don't know.
- Oh, gross.
- Okay, we need to find the keys.
- Hey, wasn't there a gun on him?
- Oh.
- Where'd it go?
- Right here, baby.
- Ray, just,
listen, we can just go
back to my car and leave.
- You really
don't get it, do you?
- What the hell's wrong
with you, dude, let's go!
- Nobody's going anywhere.
I'm gonna kill both of you.
Then I'm gonna hunt down that
ugly bitch and kill her too.
And then I'm gonna drag
your bodies into the house
and I'm gonna burn it to the ground.
Nobody's ever gonna know I was here.
- Candy!
- Candy, Candy.
No, no, no.
Fuck it, might as well.
Ray!
Come on.
Ray!
Fuck, where is he?
This way.
Come on, where is he?
Where is he?
Oh, oh.
Come on, Ray!
Oh, fuck.
Ray!
- Ah.
- It's over, Ray,
give me the keys.
- No, forget it.
There's no way either of
us are getting outta here.
- Give me the fucking keys, asshole.
I will put you in the back of my car
and take you to the hospital.
- After all this, you'd do that?
- Yes, we still have time!
- I don't think so.
You should,
you should just kill me
and then kill yourself.
- No, keys, now!
- I knew that girl wasn't The Hag.
Hell, I never even
heard of The Hag before.
I just felt like killing someone!
- You motherfucker!
- Do it.
What are you waiting for?
Fucking-
- Where?
Ugh, that bitch.
Okay.
- Oh, the book.
Oh, 444. Page 444. Beth!
Negative spirit, you cannot stay.
We reject this evil, be on your way.
We command you to leave, we banish thee.
As above, and so below.
So may it be.
Negative spirit, you cannot stay.
We reject this evil, be on your way.
We command you to leave, we banish thee.
As above, so below, so may it be.
Negative spirit, you cannot stay!
We reject this evil, be on your way.
We command you to leave, we banish thee.
As above, so below, so may it be.
Take out the keys.
- I'm sorry about what
happened to your friends.
- Thank you.
- And I'm sorry about what
happened to you as well.
- Yeah, well, I'm here. I'm alive.
- That you are.
Tara, I need you to do something for me.
I need you to look me in the eye
and I need you to swear
to me that everything
that happened on that video
is how it truly happened.
- It really happened.
- And you believe The Hag is real?
- Yes.
- You didn't manipulate this footage
in any way, shape, or form?
- No, absolutely not!
Some of the files were
corrupt towards the end,
but I did the best I
could with what I had.
- In the footage, Beth, she was telling
the stories, the legends.
- I don't know.
Maybe none of it's true.
Maybe The Hag is just
a cold-blooded killer.
Or maybe she's a ghost or
from another dimension.
I just don't, I don't know.
- Tara, you understand
that the press is never
gonna believe this, let
alone a judge and a jury.
- I don't care.
I know what happened.
I lived through it, Mr. Davidson.
I mean, you can tell I didn't just
walk out of there unharmed.
My life is completely different now
and it's never gonna be the same.
I know that.
Nobody believes me.
I'm not even sure my parents believe me.
Everyone thinks I'm just confused
or traumatized because
of what those men did.
Like I just had to find a way to cope
with what happened to me and
what happened to my friends.
- The problem is, in the footage
we don't see your friends getting killed.
- They're victims.
Victims of The Hag,
victims of those men.
And who knows how many
other victims there are.
Yeah, I'm alive.
But Beth and Candy and
Alyssa, they're not.
The Hag is real
and she's still out there.
And I'm going back to kill her.
- How would you like some help with that?
- What?
- We've been tracking this
creature for 10 years,
trying to capture The Hag.
We've been combing this area
for any evidence we could find.
- I don't, I don't understand.
- I'm John Davidson.
I'm with the FBI.
I'm here to help you, Miss Cordell.
- I thought you said you were a lawyer.
- I never said I was.
I never said I wasn't,
but I never said I was,
but while we're on the subject,
rest assured the bureau will make sure
that you have the proper legal
representation when the time comes.
- Where did you get all of this?
- I work with a special
division of the FBI.
We track this kind of phenomena.
Now, obviously we heard about your story
and I was directed to come here
to authenticate its veracity.
- You believe me?
- Tara, I've been
waiting 10 years for you.
You're the very first person to have
any concrete proof that
this creature exists.
Yeah, I believe you.
- But what about those
questions you were asking me?
- I mean, you understand I had
to be a hundred percent sure.
I work with a very elite team
of experts in this field.
We want to go after The Hag.
But the question for you is,
did you mean what you
said a few minutes ago?
Are you ready to go back in there?
And are you ready to
help us kill this witch?
You make me nervous and
you fuck with my dreams
But I like you
I know it's worth it,
so I beg and I plead
It excites you
This is not the first time, I'll admit
That I need it
Put that cherry flavor on your lips
And I'll eat it
Bring out the devil and the
child in me, gimme candy
