[Dianne cackling]
[water splashing]
If people would have come
to us in the first place
and asked us,
we would have helped them.
We would have showed them we
would have taught 'em the way,
but they didn't listen,
and they went and done
their own thing.
When you pay disrespect
to someone else's home,
this is what happen.
And the land is our home.
REPORTER:
Hurricane Harvey
REPORTER #2: Made landfall
on Puerto Rico.
REPORTER #3: And this is
the scene in
Category Storm Maria hitting
with 155 mile-an-hour wind.
[dramatic music]
In breaking news,
police are investigating a
strange missing person's case
which could be linked to
a string of disappearances
across the country.
Police have confirmed the names
of two missing individuals,
Dianne Wilson, a prominent
online figure
in the paranormal investigation
community,
and actor Osmond Shaw.
Oh, Oz. He was a good bloke.
you know?
I mean, he wanted to
be an actor. [chuckles]
I was there, I was
supporting him.
You know, he was buffing himself
up in the gym constantly.
And then, I don't know,
he-he-he, this...
I can't even say her name.
It makes me so, ugh.
Sources close to the
investigation
say Miss Wilson was
displaying suspicious behavior,
and police believe she could be
involved
in the disappearance of
up to six people
before going missing herself.
She's not all together there.
Aunt Dianne wasn't crazy,
just lonely.
She never had many friends,
but she wouldn't vanish on
purpose.
I think personally--
[sighs]
I hate to say it,
but I think he was kind of
using her
to get his face out there
'cause she had this
popular YouTube channel.
INTERVIEWER: What about
this other dimension stuff?
See, that's what I mean.
There's something
ritualistic about this girl.
I--I don't believe it,
but I think people are starting
to give this precedence,
because she's kind of this...
spooky, voodoo witch kind of
doctor thing.
I don't know. I don't know.
But this family bloodline,
you know,
people are kind of going,
"Oh, there's a possibility
that this happened," you know,
because she's fucking,
you know, she's-she's-she's...
I don't know.
I don't buy it.
OSMOND: It's so dark.
Do I look all right?
DIANNE: You look fine.
OSMOND: Thanks.
[Osmond sighs]
What do we do now?
We go for a take?
DIANNE: Yeah, just follow my
lead.
OSMOND: Okay.
[Osmond clears throat]
Reggie?
Dianne from "Oz Mysteries" here.
Tonight we're at a pioneer
village
on the outskirts of Windsor,
and this is an authentic
miner's hut.
- It's haunted right?
- Yeah.
And since the floods last month,
there's been a ton of activity.
- Come this way.
- Okay.
Rained for weeks.
Sinkholes started opening
up all over the city,
and scientists couldn't
explain why.
15 people died.
Yeah, I remember that.
There's always been a
connection
between water and spirits.
They say it's a great conductor
of energy.
So you think there
there might be higher activity
'cause of the floods, maybe?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. Right.
I've been told that the man
in this photo's eyes move,
but I haven't seen it
happen yet.
Sir, if you are listening,
please reach out.
We mean no disrespect.
You're actually really
good at this, aren't ya?
I've been doing it
a long time?
[creature growling]
OSMOND: What was that?
[water trickling]
Did you see that?
Yeah. I don't know.
OSMOND: That's fucking weird.
That's fucking so weird.
Have you seen something like
that before?
No.
[detector whirring]
I'm using an EMF detector
to see if there are any
fluctuations
in electromagnetic energy,
which is said to indicate
the presence of spirits.
If we do see any spiritual
energy in the room,
you'll notice that the needle
on the EMF reader will spike.
We're not seeing anything
at the moment,
but I'm keen to go around
the whole cabin
and see what we can find.
This is the spirit box.
It allows you to communicate
with us through white noise.
Please try and tell us your
name.
[static crackling]
I don't get it.
It uses radio frequency sweeps
to generate white noise
which gives some entities the
energy they need to be heard.
You usually get voices
but sometimes other sounds.
Seriously, voices?
Yeah.
We know you're here.
Please.
Wouldn't it actually just
freak you out
if something actually happened?
Maybe.
Isn't it better to know
the truth?
[spirit box whirs]
Water.
The floods.
[apparition faintly speaking]
[faucet squeaks,
water rushing]
OSMOND: Reggie, did you just
turn that on?
DIANNE:
No, it wasn't Reggie.
Reggie, did you just
turn that on?
REGGIE: I'm holding
the camera, Oz.
[static crackling]
Yeah, that was...
that was pretty bizarre,
some of that stuff, I guess.
But she could have set that
stuff up.
She could have just, you know,
prerecorded those voices,
pressed "play" on a tape
recorder or something.
It freaked me out a bit,
but there has to be an
explanation for all of it.
[exhales]
She's pretty into it, though,
ain't she?
[birds chirping]
REGGIE: Rolling.
Go on, then. I'm intrigued.
Um, my name's Osmond Shaw.
People call me Ozzy.
Uh, I'm an actor.
Oh, what have you done?
Mostly commercials so far,
but I've had some really
good auditions lately but...
Um, anyway,
about a week ago, I got
something in the mail,
and, um, that's why I'm here.
Hmm.
What is it?
It's a photograph.
You're in it.
DIANNE: Hmm.
Yeah, I saw your, um,
your YouTube videos and I...
I just thought this might
be the kind of thing
that you wanna film.
Okay. Why the suspense?
Um...
Is this a joke?
No.
DIANNE: Do you, um...
do you know who sent it?
OSMOND: I got no idea.
It was just in my mailbox.
It must have been hand delivered
because there's no stamp,
no...
no postage mark, nothing.
We need to find this lake.
Yeah.
Local boy Robert Janevski is
receiving a lot of attention
after climbing into a
sinkhole that opened up
during the now famous Sydney
storms.
Janevski retrieved a statue
from the hole
that depicts a half horse,
half fish creature.
What seemed to be an
insignificant find at first
now has scientists baffled.
Those who have analyzed
the statue
say there are unknown
materials in its makeup
and that all attempts to date
the piece
have been unsuccessful.
VICKI: I honestly believe
it's cursed.
DIANNE: Why?
Ever since you brought it,
everything's gone wrong.
The cats freak out when it's
in the room.
It's hard to explain.
It just...
it feels negative.
DIANNE: You said it moved?
Yeah.
We, uh, put it in the spare room
because no one wants to
look at it.
But every time we'd wake up,
it'd be right here again.
You weren't moving it, were you,
Robert?
No, it it wasn't him.
We, uh, filmed it.
I set up a camera in the living
room just near the door there.
You can see for yourself.
Moved on its own.
Why do you still have it?
Well, every time
we throw it out,
it just comes back again.
No one believes us.
DIANNE: Maybe I can help.
Do you mind if I take it for
some testing?
Go for it.
I've observed the statue
in time lapse for 12 hours now
and nothing paranormal
has happened so far.
We're heading to Lake Chaff.
It's a small lake down near
Jervis Bay.
A woman's gone missing.
And you think it's paranormal?
I don't know.
It's pretty far.
Why are we going there?
Is it because the whole
statue thing is a dead end?
I don't know.
What about this woman?
You don't think she drowned?
It's similar to a past case,
an unsolved one.
Jenny Willis's son saw
her walk into the water
and she never came out.
That sucks.
I grew up without a mum.
Poor kid.
When I was 10,
my family went to Lake Chaff.
My mum walked into
the water...
and then she was gone.
God.
I'm sorry.
They searched everywhere.
We stayed at the lake for days,
but they...
There was no sign of her.
Not long after,
the lake dried up...
and there was nothing left.
Not even bones.
I don't wanna sound
disrespectful or anything,
but do you think it's possible
that, like,
like, an animal took her or
something?
No. No sign of animals
when the lake dried up.
OSMOND: Hmm.
It's full again for
the first time in years.
I got the call this morning.
OSMOND: And you...
you think it's possible
it could be the lake from that
photograph?
Maybe.
I don't know.
I haven't been there
in a long time.
OPERATOR: Police or
emergency.
CALLER: Yeah, um,
uh, emergency please.
My-my wife, she's just
gone under the water.
OPERATOR: Okay. Can I get
a location, sir?
CALLER: Yeah. We're
at Lake Chaff near the--
near-near the rock pools.
She's--But she's gone.
I--I don't where she's gone.
OPERATOR: Okay.
I need you to stay calm.
Search and Rescue are
on their way.
CALLER: Uh, we--we've been
looking.
We've been looking for
the last little while.
I-I-I don't where she is.
Right, could you give her last
location of her last sighted?
[siren wailing]
[boat engine revs]
DIANNE: Have you, um,
been in the water yet?
Oh, um, no.
I'm just setting up now.
DIANNE: Has anyone seen
anything?
Uh, I haven't heard anything.
Sorry.
Thanks.
[radio chattering]
[siren wailing]
Thanks for driving down,
Reggie.
REGGIE: No worries.
[Osmond sighs]
How's it going with the
search?
Uh, there's no trace
of Jenny yet.
Hmm.
[helicopter whirring]
What's it like
to be here again?
DIANNE: Everything looks
different.
Like, I feel sorry for her,
I really do.
But her mum could have just
drowned.
Like, things happen.
I don't think this is gonna
be good for the channel.
I don't think anyone's
gonna watch this.
OPERATOR: And is there
anything else
that you can think of that
was around at the time?
Were there any animals
that you saw?
CALLER: Um, just, um,
I might have seen a
shadow under the water,
but there's nothing
there now.
OPERATOR: Okay. And did
you notice any kind of...
[operator faintly speaking]
[helicopter whirring]
[gentle music]
I love this song.
It reminds me of my
grandparents.
They used to...
Up, up.
They used to dance to it.
- Come on. Come on.
- No, Oz, I--
- I don't dance.
- Come on.
What you never...
What are you so nervous about?
I don't dance.
Oh, you've never been in a
relationship
where you've danced with
somebody before?
[gentle music continues]
Of course I've been in a
relationship.
What's wrong?
[gentle music continues]
Sorry.
I was just trying to...
learn something about you,
you know what I mean?
[gentle music continues]
You don't wanna talk
about that sort of thing?
No, it's fine.
[gentle music continues]
You know how you asked me
if I've been in a relationship?
OSMOND: Yeah.
[gentle music continues]
I feel like there's something
that I should tell you.
You're in a relationship now.
I wasn't, like,
hitting on you.
It was just, like, a fun thing.
No, it's not--It's not that.
It's not...
It's, um...
It's a dream that I have.
[dog barking]
- A dream?
- This...
This thing.
OSMOND: Mm-hmm.
It comes to me in my sleep.
It's like...
[gentle music continues]
half horse,
half man.
I don't...
And it feels really real,
and I don't know what it means.
That's just a dream, right?
DIANNE: No.
No, it's real, Oz.
OSMOND: I don't know if it'd
be real.
What do you mean?
Uh...
I shouldn't have said anything.
Um, I'm gonna--
I'm gonna go.
I'll see you tomorrow.
All right. Sorry.
[traffic humming]
[car door slams]
Hey, everyone.
This lovely lass is Gina,
and she's got a couple
stories about Lake Chaff,
ain't ya?
[Gina chuckles]
Everyone knows you
don't go near the water.
Yeah, and why is that?
'Cause people go missing,
like, all the time.
Yeah?
Yeah.
[upbeat music,
patrons chattering]
What, like, they drown?
No, it only just filled up.
But there was this elderly
couple, though, the Dixons.
You know, small town and all.
- Everyone knew them.
- Mm-hmm.
And, well, we do this annual
charity walk around the lake.
Um, you know, this woman got
really tired,
so her husband suggested
they cut across, you know,
back across the center.
- Yeah.
- Over 30 people saw them,
like, walking across the lake.
And?
Um...
[chuckles]
Then what happened?
They just, they...
they got halfway and just
disappeared.
- What?
- Yeah.
They just vanished
into thin air.
No one ever saw them again.
Oh, if-if that many people
saw it,
why didn't I ever
hear about it?
It happened many years ago
now.
It's kind of become, like,
an urban myth.
OSMOND: Hmm.
I was there, though.
It happened.
- Really?
- Ask anyone from the town.
Everyone knows.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
[couple moaning]
[water splashing]
-I'll go get her.
- Mm-hmm.
OSMOND: Gina, do you
wanna just take a seat?
Just there.
Oh, so do I look at
the camera or--
- Look at me.
- Yeah, just look straight.
Okay.
DIANNE: So you witnessed an
elderly couple
disappear at Lake Chaff.
Can you explain exactly
what you saw?
Well, I was behind Jack and
Beryl Dixon
when Beryl collapsed.
It was a hot day,
and she's really old.
They decided to cut back across
the lake,
which was dried up
at the time.
I remember watching
them walk into the haze.
It was kind of cool
and surreal,
so I actually, um,
snapped a photo.
After I took it, I looked up,
and they were gone.
DIANNE: And no one ever saw
them again?
No.
But the footprints were there,
in the mud.
They just stopped at a point.
DIANNE: So there was some
water?
Actually it did rain
the night before.
There was only a puddle or two,
nothing significant.
DIANNE: Do you still have
the photo?
Yeah, I do.
That's the last anyone
ever saw of the Dixons.
[engine sputters and revs]
How is it that people are
going missing all over Australia
and no one's even
talking about it?
[phone ringing]
Hey, Gina, how you going?
Yeah.
Really?
Mm, thanks for telling me.
See ya.
They found Jenny.
She drowned.
Then it's not the same.
Yeah. Maybe.
They found her body
in another lake.
In Tasmania.
For our international viewers,
some of you might not understand
the significance of this.
So let me explain.
This is Lake Chaff,
and this is Tasmania.
This is about
a 10-to-12-hour drive,
and then they would need to get
a ferry
all the way down here as well.
To think that someone could
transport a body there
undetected so quickly is
inconceivable.
[plane engines whooshing]
They found her here.
I think it's all connected
somehow.
Mm-hmm.
It's definitely not the lake
from that photo either.
I'm gonna have a look.
Why are we going
to a hospital?
I just wanted to see if
there was any news on Jenny.
OSMOND: Oh, are we allowed
to take cameras in here?
Yeah.
[doors rattle]
[people chattering]
Dianne, I don't
think we should be here.
[zipper whirs]
OSMOND: Fuck this.
She's been in the water
at least two days.
[Osmond deeply exhales]
OSMOND: Jesus, Dianne.
There's pronounced blanching
and bloating of the epidermis.
Discolorations distributed
unevenly across the body.
[Osmond retching]
[horn honking]
[phone ringing]
That woman never
left the water.
Yeah, and I can't
believe you went in there.
[phone ringing]
Portal maybe?
Fucking portal.
[phone ringing]
Or this Dianne.
Maybe the guy that reported
Jen missing at Lake Chaff
just came down here
and murdered her
and just made that up,
to cover his arse.
She died as a result of
drowning.
Yeah, and a strong guy
can just hold a woman down
and drown her, can't he?
We should be looking at
ex-partners
and things like that,
not thinking about portals.
Usually the answer to something
like this
is gonna be the most simple
explanation, isn't it?
So what do you think happened?
Like, really happened?
I think she went to another
dimension.
OSMOND: Dianne.
People don't just disappear, Oz.
They go somewhere.
OSMOND: You don't think that
could be
just a coping mechanism
to see it that way?
You think it's better not
knowing?
OSMOND: I just think there
has to be
a logical explanation for it.
It's a Saturday,
and I miss you.
[screams]
DIANNE: Are you ready, Klaas?
People are calling you a hero.
I'm-I'm not a hero.
I just thought
I could take him.
DIANNE: Can you explain what
happened?
I was at the waterfall,
and that's when I heard women
screaming.
And when I turned around,
that's when I saw him stabbing
someone.
At first I froze.
I didn't know what was
happening.
His eyes were intense,
crazy,
like he was possessed.
DIANNE: The papers say he
was a quiet, normal person.
His family say he was happy.
He was just at the falls,
swimming in the lake with his
girlfriend.
[camera shutter clicking]
KLAAS: There was so much
blood.
DIANNE: Did he say anything?
It was gibberish.
It sounded like "Oh, fear".
RESPONDER: Over.
Coming a bit closer.
Hey, mate.
Mate, can you hear me?
Uh, nonresponsive.
Gonna get in.
Ah.
Okay.
Um, yeah. Not good.
Confirmed sighting,
got visual.
Yep.
Tell the guys
I'm gonna come back.
I'm on the fence.
What ya come back--
This is where he jumped.
I'm not a fan of heights.
DIANNE: It's a long way down.
OSMOND: How far down is it?
- It's a long way down.
- I don't wanna know.
Jesus.
[water rushing,
birds chirping]
This is where they found
the girlfriend.
Yeah. Right.
What are we looking for anyway?
Dianne?
Dianne?
Hey.
What are you doing?
[Dianne heavily breathing]
It's an old mining town, Ophir.
Listen to this.
"The town of of Ophir,
site of the former Hargraves
gold mine,
has been abandoned since
the mid 1800s.
Evidence of the town vanished
including prospector and
entrepreneur Edward Hargraves.
No trace of the miners
or their families has ever been
found."
I'm gonna look it up.
What could a...
a town of missing miners have
to do with this kid, though?
I don't know. It sounds
interesting, though.
- It's in the middle of nowhere.
- Hmm.
[sheep bleating]
She was...
she was just swimming
in the creek,
near the observatory.
We made a day of it.
When she went under, and Andrew
ran right into grab her...
[exhales]
It didn't look...
There was there was something
unnatural
about the way she went under.
DIANNE: What do you mean?
Like, like she was pulled.
Like, there's there's no
other way to describe it.
I--I mean, the water
wasn't even that deep.
It, you know, came up
to my knees if anything.
It seems impossible.
[sighs]
Everyone helped look, though,
but no one found anything.
And the police got involved,
and they did their own search
but...
Someone started saying
that maybe she was snatched.
But before we even got home,
we, like...
we got a phone call from
a hospital in Perth.
DIANNE: What do you think
happened?
We don't know.
Everyone seems to have an
opinion, though.
Like they think we would
use our own daughter
for some attention-seeking
scheme.
See, Clara, she-she won't say
anything.
I'm hoping one day she
tells us what happened.
Would you mind if I spoke to
Clara alone?
Thanks for talking with me,
Clara.
I need you to tell me what
happened
when you went under the water.
You see, when I was
a little girl,
something similar happened.
I can tell that you're brave,
but I need you to be
really brave
and tell me what happened.
What happened to you?
It was my mum.
She went under the water
and vanished,
just like you.
Only she never came back to me.
And I need to know
where she went.
Can you help me?
Please?
I'll believe you.
I know you think that no one
will believe you, but I will.
I promise.
I don't think I was meant to
come out.
Out of where?
CLARA: The place.
What did you see there?
CLARA: I saw some squiggly
things.
DIANNE: What were they doing?
Wriggling around in the air.
What else did you see?
CLARA: Someone was there.
He was angry.
A man?
CLARA: No.
Then who is he?
Clara, who is he?
Can I see your other drawings?
[papers rustling]
You saw these?
Clara?
Who are these people, Clara?
Can can you describe them
for me?
Please?
Did you, uh...
Did you, uh...
did you see her?
Did you see this woman?
Clara?
Clara, did you see this woman?
- Clara!
- Okay.
That's enough.
Klaas called.
He sounded pretty freaked out.
It sounded like
it was urgent.
He reckons he's seeing things
and hearing things.
DIANNE: Like what?
I don't know.
He hung up on me.
DIANNE: That girl knows
something, Oz,
and she won't tell me.
Yeah, and she's...
she's just a kid.
Uh, we can't go in all
aggressive like that.
She went in there
and got out alive.
I need to know what happened.
I was talking
to the dad in the kitchen,
and they've already got a
six-figure deal
with "60 Minutes."
What does that tell you?
You think
it's another contract?
Sounds to me
like they need the cash.
Well, I don't think she
was meant to escape,
and she could be in danger.
You need to let it go,
Dianne.
Just forget about it.
This is what I've been
working for, Oz,
a breakthrough like this.
It's not a
breakthrough, though.
[Dianne] The lights are out.
Well, I spoke to him
15 minutes ago,
and he said he was home.
[knocking]
Klaas?
You there, mate?
KLAAS: What do you want?
- Klaas?
- What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
OSMOND: Klaas, you in there,
mate?
I just saw him.
He's fucking wigging out.
Can you hear that?
Klaas, it's Oz and
Dianne.
- What is he doing?
- Can you let us in?
I'm gonna have to bust it.
Klaas!
DIANNE: We need to get in.
OSMOND: Klaas, open the
fucking door.
[door bangs]
- Klaas?
- Klaas?
OSMOND: Klaas?
DIANNE: Klaas?
KLAAS: Leave me alone.
OSMOND: What's going on, mate?
KLAAS: I didn't do anything.
I...
What's wrong with him?
Be careful.
KLAAS: I swear.
I didn't do anything.
What do you want?
OSMOND: What is this shit?
- [knocking]
- Do you hear that?
- [creature screams]
- What the fuck was that?
REGGIE: Guys?
- Dianne what was that?
- I don't--I don't know.
REGGIE: Guys, look!
OSMOND: Hey, hey, hey.
Open the door, mate.
- Klaas?
- He's locked it.
Klaas!
- Opening up from underneath.
- Fuck!
Klaas?
[water rushing]
Where the fuck is he?
I have no idea.
[water dripping]
He's gone.
I saw him go in there.
There's nowhere else
that he could have gone.
How could he--How could
he not be in there?
I mean...
other dimensions and...
I know I keep saying that there
has to be,
like, a reasonable explanation
but...
Come on.
What the fuck was that?
Welcome to this "Oz Mystery"
special.
Tonight we're discussing an
intricate chain of events
seemingly unrelated
that we now believe are
in fact all connected.
But first, there's something
I'd like to share with you,
from my childhood.
It's the reason I started to
investigate the paranormal.
- My--
- And that said,
we should mention that
the police
are looking into
these matters.
and we shouldn't jump to
conclusions.
You still don't believe me.
I'm just saying
we should mention that
there's other possibilities.
[knock on door]
Your hot date?
- Come in.
- Excuse us.
Are you the homeowner,
Dianne Wilson?
DIANNE: Yes. And who are you?
I'm Detective Nick Long.
I'm Detective Suzanne Lake.
Badges?
NICK: Don't be a smart arse.
This isn't about the, uh,
morgue in Tazzy, is it?
NICK: Is this your boyfriend?
No.
NICK: What morgue?
Nothing.
We need to speak to you,
Ms. Wilson.
- Shit.
- What?
- Cut the camera.
- What about?
SUZANNE: So how do
you know Clara Stevens?
I interviewed her
a few weeks ago.
SUZANNE: Why do you
think Clara's parents
asked us to have a chat with you
concerning her disappearance?
Because I'm investigating her.
It's all on this wall.
You can see for yourself.
SUZANNE: We'd like to
search your home, Ms. Wilson.
Why?
Have you got Clara Stevens
here?
DIANNE: What? No.
You expect us to believe
you're not involved
in her disappearance?
You've got her photograph
front and center
on your fucking wall!
- It's what I do.
- Oh, come off!
I'm trying to help, actually.
Bollocks.
Are you saying that
Clara's gone missing again?
Yeah. Not that long
after you interviewed her.
I think you know exactly
what you're doing there,
Ms. Wilson.
I think you're a lying
sick bitch.
Hey, Nick.
I think I might have found
something.
How do you explain this,
Ms. Wilson?
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Why do you have photos
of Clara in your house?
I think maybe I know
what happened to Clara, okay?
I know what happened to Clara.
Dianne Wilson,
I'm arresting you
in relation to disappearance of
Clara Stevens.
- Anything you say and do can--
- I'm trying to help.
I told you
to turn that off!
Here we go.
- I got you a coffee.
- Thanks.
So?
They don't have enough
to hold me.
Can I, uh, ask you something
or should I wait?
Just ask.
Why do you have those pictures
of Clara?
I've been monitoring her,
that's all.
Why?
Because she's the only one
we know of to get out alive.
And I thought...
I thought maybe it
would follow her and I...
I think it has.
It.
What do you mean, it?
I don't know.
You do realize how
crazy this sounds, right?
You still think it was
the parents.
I don't know.
It wasn't you, was it?
I'm sorry.
I'm just--It would help
you with your cause
and your investigation is all
I'm saying.
Oh, at least it's
not because you think
I'm a pedophile.
You really think I would
kidnap a little girl.
Well, I don't know what you do
when we're not filming.
You were obviously stalking her.
Stalking?
Yeah. Well, you just got
arrested.
You need to know when to
draw the line, Dianne.
I saw how you were with her
when you thought she
was holding out on you.
That kind of desperation
is just...
it's fucking dangerous.
No one has ever believed me,
and I wouldn't expect you to.
So...who took Clara, then?
I don't know.
But we won't be
seeing her again.
I guarantee it.
I wouldn't go around
saying things like that
if I was you.
She was never meant
to get out.
I've decided to
head down to Ophir.
I'm just waiting on Reggie.
There's a historian down there
that I'm gonna speak to.
I'm gonna head off this
afternoon.
Dianne. Figured you'd need
someone
to come down and keep you
outta trouble.
DIANNE: It's nice to see you,
Oz.
You too.
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did
you sleep last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun
don't ever shine
I shivered the whole night
through
OSMOND: I can't believe
you know this song.
Do you know the second verse?
My father was
a mining man
Killed a mile and a half
from town
[horn honks]
Should we just go knock
on the door?
I guess. I can't find
the number.
Wait up.
[footsteps shuffling]
[knocking]
Hello?
No number on the house.
This has to be it.
Yeah, he said he'd
meet us here.
Airbnb, folks.
Hello?
DIANNE: Did he reply?
Nope.
[speaker taps]
VOICE: Get out. Get out.
I hope this is
the right house.
How's that funny?
[knock on door]
Hello?
OSMOND: Maybe here's now.
Wouldn't he have keys?
OSMOND: I don't know.
Just let him in.
[knocking continues]
God. Oz!
- Oz.
- Yeah?
Water.
Hey, mate. What are you doing?
DIANNE: He needs water.
You all right, mate?
Is this your place?
What's wrong with you?
What's going on?
You all right?
You need to call someone?
What's up?
[visitor breathing heavily]
- Water.
- Give him some water.
Put down the water!
Put down the water!
What is--Who are you?
I can feel him.
- He's here.
- Calm down.
- I can feel him.
- We wanna help you,
but you need to tell us
who you are.
It's him.
What the fuck?
Do you have relatives
in the area?
He fucking looked like me,
didn't he?
Or am I losing my shit?
Does he look like me?
Yeah.
Fuck that!
I heard nothing.
[birds chirping]
[insect buzzing,
birds chirping]
DIANNE: They say it hasn't
rained here for 10 years.
OSMOND: It has now.
[birds chirping]
What are they?
I'm not entirely sure,
but I think they might be
roasting pits.
- Roasting pits?
- Yeah.
It's so deep.
[stone clattering]
It's weird shit.
[bell tolling]
DIANNE: Thanks for having us,
Nola.
I was wondering when you
were gonna track me down.
Sorry?
Let me explain.
You took the picture.
I took I took all of them.
All of them?
It's the strangest phenomenon,
isn't it?
I--I go to the lake and take
a photo, and no one's there.
I come home and develop it,
and there they are.
How is that possible?
I don't know.
But you were the first
I recognized.
How do you know me?
You've got that silly spectacle
warehouse commercial on.
It plays every five minutes
here.
Your face stood out because
I've seen it before.
It's the guy from
the BnB last night.
No, that's impossible.
He'd be over 100 years old.
That's Edward Hargraves.
It was his mine that was
being worked down in Ophir.
Does Edward have relatives in
the area?
As far as I know, they all
vanished along with him.
But after seeing you,
I'm questioning that.
Why did you put that...
that photo in my letterbox
and not gimme some explanation
for it?
I don't know why I took it.
It...
It was like I was in a trance,
and I got in the car
and off I went.
And truthfully, I've just
been trying to forget it.
Can you, uh--Can you tell
us about the missing miners?
Where did they go?
I don't know.
It's a--It's a mystery.
All we've got are the stories
that are passed down,
the ones my grandfather told me
and his grandfather told him.
And what do the locals say?
A few theories exist.
Uh...
Apparently in Edward's day,
there was a lot of conflict
with the local Aboriginal mob.
Some say the local Aboriginal
community
wiped the miners out.
I think that's a bunch of
bullshit.
What do you think happened?
There's something unusual
about Ophir.
Even since I was a little girl,
it just hasn't been right.
If you ask me,
I agree with the mob.
They say the miners
brought a plague with them,
a water curse.
They say the townspeople
are in the lake.
DIANNE: After seeing all
these homes,
it's hard to imagine
everyone just vanishing.
OSMOND: Nola said
something about a water curse?
Yeah.
I'm not sure how
but everything's been connected
to water: lakes, rivers.
And everything started off
again after the storms.
It's gotta be connected.
Connected by a curse?
I don't know.
OSMOND: How could that
woman have that picture of us?
I think it could all
just be a setup.
She could be just playing dumb.
DIANNE: She didn't seem
like the type, but, I mean,
it was suspicious.
And you think that psycho that
came in the cabin last night
is Edward Hargraves?
It certainly looked
a lot like him.
How could it be him?
I don't know.
How could he look
so much like me?
Do you think it's like what
you were talking about before,
like, another dimension or
something?
You didn't believe me.
I don't know anymore.
Well, I mean it's
possible you're a relative.
Maybe that's why
you were drawn here.
OSMOND: Maybe I should look
up my family tree, I guess.
The resemblance is uncanny.
OSMOND: How how could
he still be alive, though?
What is he? 150 years old?
DIANNE: He's been
somewhere else.
Maybe time is different there.
DIANNE: It almost sounds like
voices.
OSMOND: Don't say that.
Maybe the townspeople went
down the mine and got trapped.
All of them?
I kinda wanna go inside.
I can't.
I know.
But I kinda wanna go in too.
DIANNE: This place
is completely flooded.
That's a bad thing, right?
Yeah.
You wanna keep going?
Let's go.
[footsteps clicking]
REGGIE: I am not being
paid enough for this.
OSMOND: So much water.
What do you wanna do?
[creature howls]
- Did you hear that
- Yeah, I fucking heard it.
REGGIE: Guys, I wanna go.
Maybe we should go
- [creature howling]
REGGIE: What is that?
Run!
[Dianne panting]
We've just been
running around the mines.
We could hear voices,
but I think we're getting close.
I'm glad we came.
[panting]
At times, um...
I thought Dianne was, um...
not crazy
but hanging onto her grief
too much.
I don't blame her for
being fucked up by that.
It'd be hard for a little girl
to lose her mum like that.
Everything else that's been
happening.
Like, why are we in that
picture?
Did somebody want us here?
Part of me just
feels like I...
I should just bail.
For some reason, I just can't
leave her.
[water splashing]
OSMOND: This is it.
We should set up the cameras,
see if we can capture
anything strange overnight.
Do you ever think that
the photo was a warning?
Maybe we shouldn't be here.
There's something here, Oz.
We need to figure out
what it is.
- Aren't you scared?
- Of course.
[sighs]
That's us dead in the water.
That wasn't real.
Yeah, but what if it's
a premonition
of what will happen if we
don't mind our own business?
We need to find the truth.
[child laughing]
DIANNE: Clara.
OSMOND: This way.
[child laughing]
REGGIE: Rolling.
As we were walking out,
we heard a kid laughing.
It sounded like it came
from in here.
Might be Clara.
I don't think there's anyone
down there.
[stone clattering]
It's deep but not too deep.
That's what she said.
- Sorry.
- Put a camera down there.
[static crackling]
[static crackling]
[player clicks]
[tape winding]
Why would they do that?
If you ask me,
it's a sacrifice.
To what? A demon.
I don't know.
It's easy to call the unknown
a demon.
Why film it?
I think they were
showing others what to do.
Maybe they ran out of
children.
That's a disturbing thought.
Was anyone ever punished
for that?
There was no one left
to punish.
You'd be wise to leave now.
Don't go back there.
Thanks for having us, Nola.
Some secrets are better left
buried.
We'll be leaving tomorrow.
I don't know what
or who woke it up,
but let's hope it goes back
to sleep soon.
Maybe you should leave too.
This is my home.
I've learned to live with it.
I just keep my distance,
and you two should do the same.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I set up a camera in
the house last night,
and there's something
I think you should see.
What is it?
[Osmond chuckles]
You're joking.
That fucking thing was
in your room last night?
DIANNE: Yeah.
Hargraves and now this shit.
Yeah.
I can't sleep after
the last couple of days.
Like, that-that dude
coming into the place.
Looking exactly like me,
like...
what the fuck?
And the Nola woman
has a photo of him.
He's 100 years old.
Like, I've had my doubts
about Dianne early on,
and the whole thing with...
with Clara and her being
arrested.
I was thinking about bailing
back then.
But the shit that's happened
in the last two days...
I gotta...
I gotta hang out and...
and see what's going on
with all this shit,
because it's freaking me out.
But I have to know
what's going on.
[sighs]
It's just too many
coincidences.
It's just...
I can't ignore it.
[door creaks]
[Dianne crying,
footsteps thudding]
[water rushing,
Dianne crying]
Dianne?
Is that you?
You all right?
Dianne, what is it?
Did that horseman come
into your room again?
REGGIE: Dianne?
I was asked that
I record this,
even if just for myself.
I had a nightmare.
A very vivid nightmare
about my mother.
She was walking into the lake
that we visited today.
Maybe it wasn't a dream.
I don't know.
Anyway,
she looked just like she did
in the photos from when
she went missing.
And when I woke up, it was like
she was right there,
in my ear, whispering.
OSMOND: What did she say?
She was just saying my name,
over and over.
OSMOND: Why did you scream?
Because it wasn't her voice
anymore.
It was something deep,
inhuman.
Oz, I think my mother's
in hell.
You okay?
We should stay tonight.
I knew you were gonna say
that.
There's nothing on the tapes.
We should stay tonight.
[Osmond sighs]
Do you mind grabbing the cameras
and the tripod?
Yeah, no worries.
[water splashing]
[bird calls]
OSMOND: Do you believe in
curses?
Many cultures from
around the world
have a history of belief in
curses.
I just feel like nothing
comes from nothing, you know?
Do you think we should speak
to the local Aboriginal mob?
There are Aboriginal curses,
right?
This is something else.
[person screaming]
Hello?
OSMOND: Where's it coming
from?
DIANNE: I don't know. It sounds
far away but-but close.
OSMOND: Hello?
- [people screaming]
- Oh, shit!
- It's her.
- What? Who?
- Mum.
- What?
Mum? Mum?
Mum! It's me, Dianne!
Mum!
[people screaming]
It's her! I know it!
[people screaming]
[screaming continues]
Show yourselves!
[screaming continues]
I'm worried about Dianne.
I hope we get some answers,
'cause she's just not coping.
[creature growling]
You keep making noise.
When are you gonna come out?
[footsteps]
Is this you?
Is that you in Dianne's room?
[creature growling]
I think we woke it up...
with our mining and fracking.
Who could sleep in this earth?
I mean, maybe the floods
enabled it.
Or we woke it up.
CREW MEMBER: Quiet on set
upstairs.
Ready? Action.
[clack]
Speed.
Set.
REGGIE: They told me to film,
no matter what, so I did.
[camera shatters clicking]
- Enough of that. Nobody else.
- Stop.
WOMAN: I was just doing my job.
MAN: How many bodies?
I didn't think anything would
happen.
[water splashing]
REGGIE: Honestly. I don't think
they drowned,
but they never
came out of the lake.
That's a fact.
NICK: We have no further
information
on their whereabouts.
It wasn't a deep lake.
We used divers and underwater
scanning equipment,
found nothing.
They're not in there.
We do know, however,
that Dianne Wilson visited Ophir
on several occasions
in the past,
despite giving the locals
the impression
that she'd never been there.
I told them not to
go back there.
They were getting too close.
INTERVIEWER: To what?
The truth.
The truth is, Dianne Wilson was
a troubled soul.
She'd never really gotten
over the death of her mother.
And she was known to be
stalking a young child
who'd gone missing
in the area.
She may have been stalking
children for years
and dumping them in that well.
For now, though, people have
to draw their own conclusions.
Or until we can find
Dianne Wilson, of course.
Do I think he's alive?
Yes.
Well, until we find his body,
he's alive, right?
Oz's family came after us,
hard.
They blamed us for everything.
I think it's pretty clear
that Oz made his own choices.
He wasn't forced
to do anything.
As for these mythological
creatures
that she's talking about,
we've got...
I think it's just an
excuse to get into the area
and just look for children,
playing with their heads.
I just feel sorry for
them people's family,
because no one knows
where they gone.
It's up to the language
of land and the spirits.
It's got nothing to do with
people.
Same with all them people that
were taken
by them bad energy,
by that bad water spirit.
They're gone.
Their flesh language
is no longer,
but their spirit remains
and will tell the story of
what happened.
REGGIE: I don't why
I came back here.
I just felt like I had to.
Maybe I am like Dianne,
I want answers.
The police dredged the lake.
People searched the area for
weeks, and no one found this.
[water splashing]
It's the camera Dianne was
holding when she walked in.
It seems to still be intact.
I'm gonna play the footage
for you now.
No matter what, the police
will say it's a hoax,
but...
I'll let you make up
your own mind.
[static crackling]
[Osmond breathing heavily]
DIANNE: Oz, get up.
- I can't see anything.
- We're in a cave.
- Okay. How can you tell?
- The camera?
OSMOND: Let me see.
You brought a camera?
I always keep it in
my pockets, just in case.
OSMOND: Of course you did.
- We gotta go. We gotta go.
- Fuck!
Let's go this way.
Fuck!
[Osmond and Dianne panting]
OSMOND: Do you think it's, like,
a cave under the lake,
and we somehow drifted
in there or something?
Fuck.
[drum banging]
- Is that a drum?
- What?
Shh. Shh.
[Osmond heavily breathing]
What the fuck it that?
Just wait here, and I'm gonna
try and find my way out here.
- Be quick, okay?
- Okay.
[static crackling]
[Osmond breathing heavily]
[drum banging]
I keep seeing little flashes
of light,
but every time I get up to 'em,
they just disappear.
Fuck!
I think we're fucked.
[breathing heavily]
Dianne!
Ah. fuck!
Where are you?
Going round in
fucking circles.
Shit.
What the fuck?
Okay.
Fuck. Fuck.
Dianne?
Dianne?
Oh, fucking...
Dianne! Dianne!
Where are you?
[creature screaming]
Is that you, Dianne?
[static crackling]
[creature growls]
Fuck!
[Diane cackling]
VOICE:
I came to find you.
[Diane screaming]
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did
you sleep last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver the whole night
though
The longest train
I ever saw
Run by Joe Brown's
coal mine
The headlight passed
At six o'clock
The cab came by at nine
My girl, my girl
Where will you go?
I'm going where
the cold wind blows
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I will shiver the whole night
though
My father was
A mining man
Killed a mile and a half
from town
His head was found
In in the drivin' wheel
But his body has never been
found
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep
last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I shivered the whole night
though
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep
last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver
The whole night through
[Dianne cackling]
[water splashing]
If people would have come
to us in the first place
and asked us,
we would have helped them.
We would have showed them we
would have taught 'em the way,
but they didn't listen,
and they went and done
their own thing.
When you pay disrespect
to someone else's home,
this is what happen.
And the land is our home.
REPORTER:
Hurricane Harvey
REPORTER #2: Made landfall
on Puerto Rico.
REPORTER #3: And this is
the scene in
Category Storm Maria hitting
with 155 mile-an-hour wind.
[dramatic music]
In breaking news,
police are investigating a
strange missing person's case
which could be linked to
a string of disappearances
across the country.
Police have confirmed the names
of two missing individuals,
Dianne Wilson, a prominent
online figure
in the paranormal investigation
community,
and actor Osmond Shaw.
Oh, Oz. He was a good bloke.
you know?
I mean, he wanted to
be an actor. [chuckles]
I was there, I was
supporting him.
You know, he was buffing himself
up in the gym constantly.
And then, I don't know,
he-he-he, this...
I can't even say her name.
It makes me so, ugh.
Sources close to the
investigation
say Miss Wilson was
displaying suspicious behavior,
and police believe she could be
involved
in the disappearance of
up to six people
before going missing herself.
She's not all together there.
Aunt Dianne wasn't crazy,
just lonely.
She never had many friends,
but she wouldn't vanish on
purpose.
I think personally--
[sighs]
I hate to say it,
but I think he was kind of
using her
to get his face out there
'cause she had this
popular YouTube channel.
INTERVIEWER: What about
this other dimension stuff?
See, that's what I mean.
There's something
ritualistic about this girl.
I--I don't believe it,
but I think people are starting
to give this precedence,
because she's kind of this...
spooky, voodoo witch kind of
doctor thing.
I don't know. I don't know.
But this family bloodline,
you know,
people are kind of going,
"Oh, there's a possibility
that this happened," you know,
because she's fucking,
you know, she's-she's-she's...
I don't know.
I don't buy it.
OSMOND: It's so dark.
Do I look all right?
DIANNE: You look fine.
OSMOND: Thanks.
[Osmond sighs]
What do we do now?
We go for a take?
DIANNE: Yeah, just follow my
lead.
OSMOND: Okay.
[Osmond clears throat]
Reggie?
Dianne from "Oz Mysteries" here.
Tonight we're at a pioneer
village
on the outskirts of Windsor,
and this is an authentic
miner's hut.
- It's haunted right?
- Yeah.
And since the floods last month,
there's been a ton of activity.
- Come this way.
- Okay.
Rained for weeks.
Sinkholes started opening
up all over the city,
and scientists couldn't
explain why.
15 people died.
Yeah, I remember that.
There's always been a
connection
between water and spirits.
They say it's a great conductor
of energy.
So you think there
there might be higher activity
'cause of the floods, maybe?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. Right.
I've been told that the man
in this photo's eyes move,
but I haven't seen it
happen yet.
Sir, if you are listening,
please reach out.
We mean no disrespect.
You're actually really
good at this, aren't ya?
I've been doing it
a long time?
[creature growling]
OSMOND: What was that?
[water trickling]
Did you see that?
Yeah. I don't know.
OSMOND: That's fucking weird.
That's fucking so weird.
Have you seen something like
that before?
No.
[detector whirring]
I'm using an EMF detector
to see if there are any
fluctuations
in electromagnetic energy,
which is said to indicate
the presence of spirits.
If we do see any spiritual
energy in the room,
you'll notice that the needle
on the EMF reader will spike.
We're not seeing anything
at the moment,
but I'm keen to go around
the whole cabin
and see what we can find.
This is the spirit box.
It allows you to communicate
with us through white noise.
Please try and tell us your
name.
[static crackling]
I don't get it.
It uses radio frequency sweeps
to generate white noise
which gives some entities the
energy they need to be heard.
You usually get voices
but sometimes other sounds.
Seriously, voices?
Yeah.
We know you're here.
Please.
Wouldn't it actually just
freak you out
if something actually happened?
Maybe.
Isn't it better to know
the truth?
[spirit box whirs]
Water.
The floods.
[apparition faintly speaking]
[faucet squeaks,
water rushing]
OSMOND: Reggie, did you just
turn that on?
DIANNE:
No, it wasn't Reggie.
Reggie, did you just
turn that on?
REGGIE: I'm holding
the camera, Oz.
[static crackling]
Yeah, that was...
that was pretty bizarre,
some of that stuff, I guess.
But she could have set that
stuff up.
She could have just, you know,
prerecorded those voices,
pressed "play" on a tape
recorder or something.
It freaked me out a bit,
but there has to be an
explanation for all of it.
[exhales]
She's pretty into it, though,
ain't she?
[birds chirping]
REGGIE: Rolling.
Go on, then. I'm intrigued.
Um, my name's Osmond Shaw.
People call me Ozzy.
Uh, I'm an actor.
Oh, what have you done?
Mostly commercials so far,
but I've had some really
good auditions lately but...
Um, anyway,
about a week ago, I got
something in the mail,
and, um, that's why I'm here.
Hmm.
What is it?
It's a photograph.
You're in it.
DIANNE: Hmm.
Yeah, I saw your, um,
your YouTube videos and I...
I just thought this might
be the kind of thing
that you wanna film.
Okay. Why the suspense?
Um...
Is this a joke?
No.
DIANNE: Do you, um...
do you know who sent it?
OSMOND: I got no idea.
It was just in my mailbox.
It must have been hand delivered
because there's no stamp,
no...
no postage mark, nothing.
We need to find this lake.
Yeah.
Local boy Robert Janevski is
receiving a lot of attention
after climbing into a
sinkhole that opened up
during the now famous Sydney
storms.
Janevski retrieved a statue
from the hole
that depicts a half horse,
half fish creature.
What seemed to be an
insignificant find at first
now has scientists baffled.
Those who have analyzed
the statue
say there are unknown
materials in its makeup
and that all attempts to date
the piece
have been unsuccessful.
VICKI: I honestly believe
it's cursed.
DIANNE: Why?
Ever since you brought it,
everything's gone wrong.
The cats freak out when it's
in the room.
It's hard to explain.
It just...
it feels negative.
DIANNE: You said it moved?
Yeah.
We, uh, put it in the spare room
because no one wants to
look at it.
But every time we'd wake up,
it'd be right here again.
You weren't moving it, were you,
Robert?
No, it it wasn't him.
We, uh, filmed it.
I set up a camera in the living
room just near the door there.
You can see for yourself.
Moved on its own.
Why do you still have it?
Well, every time
we throw it out,
it just comes back again.
No one believes us.
DIANNE: Maybe I can help.
Do you mind if I take it for
some testing?
Go for it.
I've observed the statue
in time lapse for 12 hours now
and nothing paranormal
has happened so far.
We're heading to Lake Chaff.
It's a small lake down near
Jervis Bay.
A woman's gone missing.
And you think it's paranormal?
I don't know.
It's pretty far.
Why are we going there?
Is it because the whole
statue thing is a dead end?
I don't know.
What about this woman?
You don't think she drowned?
It's similar to a past case,
an unsolved one.
Jenny Willis's son saw
her walk into the water
and she never came out.
That sucks.
I grew up without a mum.
Poor kid.
When I was 10,
my family went to Lake Chaff.
My mum walked into
the water...
and then she was gone.
God.
I'm sorry.
They searched everywhere.
We stayed at the lake for days,
but they...
There was no sign of her.
Not long after,
the lake dried up...
and there was nothing left.
Not even bones.
I don't wanna sound
disrespectful or anything,
but do you think it's possible
that, like,
like, an animal took her or
something?
No. No sign of animals
when the lake dried up.
OSMOND: Hmm.
It's full again for
the first time in years.
I got the call this morning.
OSMOND: And you...
you think it's possible
it could be the lake from that
photograph?
Maybe.
I don't know.
I haven't been there
in a long time.
OPERATOR: Police or
emergency.
CALLER: Yeah, um,
uh, emergency please.
My-my wife, she's just
gone under the water.
OPERATOR: Okay. Can I get
a location, sir?
CALLER: Yeah. We're
at Lake Chaff near the--
near-near the rock pools.
She's--But she's gone.
I--I don't where she's gone.
OPERATOR: Okay.
I need you to stay calm.
Search and Rescue are
on their way.
CALLER: Uh, we--we've been
looking.
We've been looking for
the last little while.
I-I-I don't where she is.
Right, could you give her last
location of her last sighted?
[siren wailing]
[boat engine revs]
DIANNE: Have you, um,
been in the water yet?
Oh, um, no.
I'm just setting up now.
DIANNE: Has anyone seen
anything?
Uh, I haven't heard anything.
Sorry.
Thanks.
[radio chattering]
[siren wailing]
Thanks for driving down,
Reggie.
REGGIE: No worries.
[Osmond sighs]
How's it going with the
search?
Uh, there's no trace
of Jenny yet.
Hmm.
[helicopter whirring]
What's it like
to be here again?
DIANNE: Everything looks
different.
Like, I feel sorry for her,
I really do.
But her mum could have just
drowned.
Like, things happen.
I don't think this is gonna
be good for the channel.
I don't think anyone's
gonna watch this.
OPERATOR: And is there
anything else
that you can think of that
was around at the time?
Were there any animals
that you saw?
CALLER: Um, just, um,
I might have seen a
shadow under the water,
but there's nothing
there now.
OPERATOR: Okay. And did
you notice any kind of...
[operator faintly speaking]
[helicopter whirring]
[gentle music]
I love this song.
It reminds me of my
grandparents.
They used to...
Up, up.
They used to dance to it.
- Come on. Come on.
- No, Oz, I--
- I don't dance.
- Come on.
What you never...
What are you so nervous about?
I don't dance.
Oh, you've never been in a
relationship
where you've danced with
somebody before?
[gentle music continues]
Of course I've been in a
relationship.
What's wrong?
[gentle music continues]
Sorry.
I was just trying to...
learn something about you,
you know what I mean?
[gentle music continues]
You don't wanna talk
about that sort of thing?
No, it's fine.
[gentle music continues]
You know how you asked me
if I've been in a relationship?
OSMOND: Yeah.
[gentle music continues]
I feel like there's something
that I should tell you.
You're in a relationship now.
I wasn't, like,
hitting on you.
It was just, like, a fun thing.
No, it's not--It's not that.
It's not...
It's, um...
It's a dream that I have.
[dog barking]
- A dream?
- This...
This thing.
OSMOND: Mm-hmm.
It comes to me in my sleep.
It's like...
[gentle music continues]
half horse,
half man.
I don't...
And it feels really real,
and I don't know what it means.
That's just a dream, right?
DIANNE: No.
No, it's real, Oz.
OSMOND: I don't know if it'd
be real.
What do you mean?
Uh...
I shouldn't have said anything.
Um, I'm gonna--
I'm gonna go.
I'll see you tomorrow.
All right. Sorry.
[traffic humming]
[car door slams]
Hey, everyone.
This lovely lass is Gina,
and she's got a couple
stories about Lake Chaff,
ain't ya?
[Gina chuckles]
Everyone knows you
don't go near the water.
Yeah, and why is that?
'Cause people go missing,
like, all the time.
Yeah?
Yeah.
[upbeat music,
patrons chattering]
What, like, they drown?
No, it only just filled up.
But there was this elderly
couple, though, the Dixons.
You know, small town and all.
- Everyone knew them.
- Mm-hmm.
And, well, we do this annual
charity walk around the lake.
Um, you know, this woman got
really tired,
so her husband suggested
they cut across, you know,
back across the center.
- Yeah.
- Over 30 people saw them,
like, walking across the lake.
And?
Um...
[chuckles]
Then what happened?
They just, they...
they got halfway and just
disappeared.
- What?
- Yeah.
They just vanished
into thin air.
No one ever saw them again.
Oh, if-if that many people
saw it,
why didn't I ever
hear about it?
It happened many years ago
now.
It's kind of become, like,
an urban myth.
OSMOND: Hmm.
I was there, though.
It happened.
- Really?
- Ask anyone from the town.
Everyone knows.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
[couple moaning]
[water splashing]
-I'll go get her.
- Mm-hmm.
OSMOND: Gina, do you
wanna just take a seat?
Just there.
Oh, so do I look at
the camera or--
- Look at me.
- Yeah, just look straight.
Okay.
DIANNE: So you witnessed an
elderly couple
disappear at Lake Chaff.
Can you explain exactly
what you saw?
Well, I was behind Jack and
Beryl Dixon
when Beryl collapsed.
It was a hot day,
and she's really old.
They decided to cut back across
the lake,
which was dried up
at the time.
I remember watching
them walk into the haze.
It was kind of cool
and surreal,
so I actually, um,
snapped a photo.
After I took it, I looked up,
and they were gone.
DIANNE: And no one ever saw
them again?
No.
But the footprints were there,
in the mud.
They just stopped at a point.
DIANNE: So there was some
water?
Actually it did rain
the night before.
There was only a puddle or two,
nothing significant.
DIANNE: Do you still have
the photo?
Yeah, I do.
That's the last anyone
ever saw of the Dixons.
[engine sputters and revs]
How is it that people are
going missing all over Australia
and no one's even
talking about it?
[phone ringing]
Hey, Gina, how you going?
Yeah.
Really?
Mm, thanks for telling me.
See ya.
They found Jenny.
She drowned.
Then it's not the same.
Yeah. Maybe.
They found her body
in another lake.
In Tasmania.
For our international viewers,
some of you might not understand
the significance of this.
So let me explain.
This is Lake Chaff,
and this is Tasmania.
This is about
a 10-to-12-hour drive,
and then they would need to get
a ferry
all the way down here as well.
To think that someone could
transport a body there
undetected so quickly is
inconceivable.
[plane engines whooshing]
They found her here.
I think it's all connected
somehow.
Mm-hmm.
It's definitely not the lake
from that photo either.
I'm gonna have a look.
Why are we going
to a hospital?
I just wanted to see if
there was any news on Jenny.
OSMOND: Oh, are we allowed
to take cameras in here?
Yeah.
[doors rattle]
[people chattering]
Dianne, I don't
think we should be here.
[zipper whirs]
OSMOND: Fuck this.
She's been in the water
at least two days.
[Osmond deeply exhales]
OSMOND: Jesus, Dianne.
There's pronounced blanching
and bloating of the epidermis.
Discolorations distributed
unevenly across the body.
[Osmond retching]
[horn honking]
[phone ringing]
That woman never
left the water.
Yeah, and I can't
believe you went in there.
[phone ringing]
Portal maybe?
Fucking portal.
[phone ringing]
Or this Dianne.
Maybe the guy that reported
Jen missing at Lake Chaff
just came down here
and murdered her
and just made that up,
to cover his arse.
She died as a result of
drowning.
Yeah, and a strong guy
can just hold a woman down
and drown her, can't he?
We should be looking at
ex-partners
and things like that,
not thinking about portals.
Usually the answer to something
like this
is gonna be the most simple
explanation, isn't it?
So what do you think happened?
Like, really happened?
I think she went to another
dimension.
OSMOND: Dianne.
People don't just disappear, Oz.
They go somewhere.
OSMOND: You don't think that
could be
just a coping mechanism
to see it that way?
You think it's better not
knowing?
OSMOND: I just think there
has to be
a logical explanation for it.
It's a Saturday,
and I miss you.
[screams]
DIANNE: Are you ready, Klaas?
People are calling you a hero.
I'm-I'm not a hero.
I just thought
I could take him.
DIANNE: Can you explain what
happened?
I was at the waterfall,
and that's when I heard women
screaming.
And when I turned around,
that's when I saw him stabbing
someone.
At first I froze.
I didn't know what was
happening.
His eyes were intense,
crazy,
like he was possessed.
DIANNE: The papers say he
was a quiet, normal person.
His family say he was happy.
He was just at the falls,
swimming in the lake with his
girlfriend.
[camera shutter clicking]
KLAAS: There was so much
blood.
DIANNE: Did he say anything?
It was gibberish.
It sounded like "Oh, fear".
RESPONDER: Over.
Coming a bit closer.
Hey, mate.
Mate, can you hear me?
Uh, nonresponsive.
Gonna get in.
Ah.
Okay.
Um, yeah. Not good.
Confirmed sighting,
got visual.
Yep.
Tell the guys
I'm gonna come back.
I'm on the fence.
What ya come back--
This is where he jumped.
I'm not a fan of heights.
DIANNE: It's a long way down.
OSMOND: How far down is it?
- It's a long way down.
- I don't wanna know.
Jesus.
[water rushing,
birds chirping]
This is where they found
the girlfriend.
Yeah. Right.
What are we looking for anyway?
Dianne?
Dianne?
Hey.
What are you doing?
[Dianne heavily breathing]
It's an old mining town, Ophir.
Listen to this.
"The town of of Ophir,
site of the former Hargraves
gold mine,
has been abandoned since
the mid 1800s.
Evidence of the town vanished
including prospector and
entrepreneur Edward Hargraves.
No trace of the miners
or their families has ever been
found."
I'm gonna look it up.
What could a...
a town of missing miners have
to do with this kid, though?
I don't know. It sounds
interesting, though.
- It's in the middle of nowhere.
- Hmm.
[sheep bleating]
She was...
she was just swimming
in the creek,
near the observatory.
We made a day of it.
When she went under, and Andrew
ran right into grab her...
[exhales]
It didn't look...
There was there was something
unnatural
about the way she went under.
DIANNE: What do you mean?
Like, like she was pulled.
Like, there's there's no
other way to describe it.
I--I mean, the water
wasn't even that deep.
It, you know, came up
to my knees if anything.
It seems impossible.
[sighs]
Everyone helped look, though,
but no one found anything.
And the police got involved,
and they did their own search
but...
Someone started saying
that maybe she was snatched.
But before we even got home,
we, like...
we got a phone call from
a hospital in Perth.
DIANNE: What do you think
happened?
We don't know.
Everyone seems to have an
opinion, though.
Like they think we would
use our own daughter
for some attention-seeking
scheme.
See, Clara, she-she won't say
anything.
I'm hoping one day she
tells us what happened.
Would you mind if I spoke to
Clara alone?
Thanks for talking with me,
Clara.
I need you to tell me what
happened
when you went under the water.
You see, when I was
a little girl,
something similar happened.
I can tell that you're brave,
but I need you to be
really brave
and tell me what happened.
What happened to you?
It was my mum.
She went under the water
and vanished,
just like you.
Only she never came back to me.
And I need to know
where she went.
Can you help me?
Please?
I'll believe you.
I know you think that no one
will believe you, but I will.
I promise.
I don't think I was meant to
come out.
Out of where?
CLARA: The place.
What did you see there?
CLARA: I saw some squiggly
things.
DIANNE: What were they doing?
Wriggling around in the air.
What else did you see?
CLARA: Someone was there.
He was angry.
A man?
CLARA: No.
Then who is he?
Clara, who is he?
Can I see your other drawings?
[papers rustling]
You saw these?
Clara?
Who are these people, Clara?
Can can you describe them
for me?
Please?
Did you, uh...
Did you, uh...
did you see her?
Did you see this woman?
Clara?
Clara, did you see this woman?
- Clara!
- Okay.
That's enough.
Klaas called.
He sounded pretty freaked out.
It sounded like
it was urgent.
He reckons he's seeing things
and hearing things.
DIANNE: Like what?
I don't know.
He hung up on me.
DIANNE: That girl knows
something, Oz,
and she won't tell me.
Yeah, and she's...
she's just a kid.
Uh, we can't go in all
aggressive like that.
She went in there
and got out alive.
I need to know what happened.
I was talking
to the dad in the kitchen,
and they've already got a
six-figure deal
with "60 Minutes."
What does that tell you?
You think
it's another contract?
Sounds to me
like they need the cash.
Well, I don't think she
was meant to escape,
and she could be in danger.
You need to let it go,
Dianne.
Just forget about it.
This is what I've been
working for, Oz,
a breakthrough like this.
It's not a
breakthrough, though.
[Dianne] The lights are out.
Well, I spoke to him
15 minutes ago,
and he said he was home.
[knocking]
Klaas?
You there, mate?
KLAAS: What do you want?
- Klaas?
- What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
OSMOND: Klaas, you in there,
mate?
I just saw him.
He's fucking wigging out.
Can you hear that?
Klaas, it's Oz and
Dianne.
- What is he doing?
- Can you let us in?
I'm gonna have to bust it.
Klaas!
DIANNE: We need to get in.
OSMOND: Klaas, open the
fucking door.
[door bangs]
- Klaas?
- Klaas?
OSMOND: Klaas?
DIANNE: Klaas?
KLAAS: Leave me alone.
OSMOND: What's going on, mate?
KLAAS: I didn't do anything.
I...
What's wrong with him?
Be careful.
KLAAS: I swear.
I didn't do anything.
What do you want?
OSMOND: What is this shit?
- [knocking]
- Do you hear that?
- [creature screams]
- What the fuck was that?
REGGIE: Guys?
- Dianne what was that?
- I don't--I don't know.
REGGIE: Guys, look!
OSMOND: Hey, hey, hey.
Open the door, mate.
- Klaas?
- He's locked it.
Klaas!
- Opening up from underneath.
- Fuck!
Klaas?
[water rushing]
Where the fuck is he?
I have no idea.
[water dripping]
He's gone.
I saw him go in there.
There's nowhere else
that he could have gone.
How could he--How could
he not be in there?
I mean...
other dimensions and...
I know I keep saying that there
has to be,
like, a reasonable explanation
but...
Come on.
What the fuck was that?
Welcome to this "Oz Mystery"
special.
Tonight we're discussing an
intricate chain of events
seemingly unrelated
that we now believe are
in fact all connected.
But first, there's something
I'd like to share with you,
from my childhood.
It's the reason I started to
investigate the paranormal.
- My--
- And that said,
we should mention that
the police
are looking into
these matters.
and we shouldn't jump to
conclusions.
You still don't believe me.
I'm just saying
we should mention that
there's other possibilities.
[knock on door]
Your hot date?
- Come in.
- Excuse us.
Are you the homeowner,
Dianne Wilson?
DIANNE: Yes. And who are you?
I'm Detective Nick Long.
I'm Detective Suzanne Lake.
Badges?
NICK: Don't be a smart arse.
This isn't about the, uh,
morgue in Tazzy, is it?
NICK: Is this your boyfriend?
No.
NICK: What morgue?
Nothing.
We need to speak to you,
Ms. Wilson.
- Shit.
- What?
- Cut the camera.
- What about?
SUZANNE: So how do
you know Clara Stevens?
I interviewed her
a few weeks ago.
SUZANNE: Why do you
think Clara's parents
asked us to have a chat with you
concerning her disappearance?
Because I'm investigating her.
It's all on this wall.
You can see for yourself.
SUZANNE: We'd like to
search your home, Ms. Wilson.
Why?
Have you got Clara Stevens
here?
DIANNE: What? No.
You expect us to believe
you're not involved
in her disappearance?
You've got her photograph
front and center
on your fucking wall!
- It's what I do.
- Oh, come off!
I'm trying to help, actually.
Bollocks.
Are you saying that
Clara's gone missing again?
Yeah. Not that long
after you interviewed her.
I think you know exactly
what you're doing there,
Ms. Wilson.
I think you're a lying
sick bitch.
Hey, Nick.
I think I might have found
something.
How do you explain this,
Ms. Wilson?
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Why do you have photos
of Clara in your house?
I think maybe I know
what happened to Clara, okay?
I know what happened to Clara.
Dianne Wilson,
I'm arresting you
in relation to disappearance of
Clara Stevens.
- Anything you say and do can--
- I'm trying to help.
I told you
to turn that off!
Here we go.
- I got you a coffee.
- Thanks.
So?
They don't have enough
to hold me.
Can I, uh, ask you something
or should I wait?
Just ask.
Why do you have those pictures
of Clara?
I've been monitoring her,
that's all.
Why?
Because she's the only one
we know of to get out alive.
And I thought...
I thought maybe it
would follow her and I...
I think it has.
It.
What do you mean, it?
I don't know.
You do realize how
crazy this sounds, right?
You still think it was
the parents.
I don't know.
It wasn't you, was it?
I'm sorry.
I'm just--It would help
you with your cause
and your investigation is all
I'm saying.
Oh, at least it's
not because you think
I'm a pedophile.
You really think I would
kidnap a little girl.
Well, I don't know what you do
when we're not filming.
You were obviously stalking her.
Stalking?
Yeah. Well, you just got
arrested.
You need to know when to
draw the line, Dianne.
I saw how you were with her
when you thought she
was holding out on you.
That kind of desperation
is just...
it's fucking dangerous.
No one has ever believed me,
and I wouldn't expect you to.
So...who took Clara, then?
I don't know.
But we won't be
seeing her again.
I guarantee it.
I wouldn't go around
saying things like that
if I was you.
She was never meant
to get out.
I've decided to
head down to Ophir.
I'm just waiting on Reggie.
There's a historian down there
that I'm gonna speak to.
I'm gonna head off this
afternoon.
Dianne. Figured you'd need
someone
to come down and keep you
outta trouble.
DIANNE: It's nice to see you,
Oz.
You too.
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did
you sleep last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun
don't ever shine
I shivered the whole night
through
OSMOND: I can't believe
you know this song.
Do you know the second verse?
My father was
a mining man
Killed a mile and a half
from town
[horn honks]
Should we just go knock
on the door?
I guess. I can't find
the number.
Wait up.
[footsteps shuffling]
[knocking]
Hello?
No number on the house.
This has to be it.
Yeah, he said he'd
meet us here.
Airbnb, folks.
Hello?
DIANNE: Did he reply?
Nope.
[speaker taps]
VOICE: Get out. Get out.
I hope this is
the right house.
How's that funny?
[knock on door]
Hello?
OSMOND: Maybe here's now.
Wouldn't he have keys?
OSMOND: I don't know.
Just let him in.
[knocking continues]
God. Oz!
- Oz.
- Yeah?
Water.
Hey, mate. What are you doing?
DIANNE: He needs water.
You all right, mate?
Is this your place?
What's wrong with you?
What's going on?
You all right?
You need to call someone?
What's up?
[visitor breathing heavily]
- Water.
- Give him some water.
Put down the water!
Put down the water!
What is--Who are you?
I can feel him.
- He's here.
- Calm down.
- I can feel him.
- We wanna help you,
but you need to tell us
who you are.
It's him.
What the fuck?
Do you have relatives
in the area?
He fucking looked like me,
didn't he?
Or am I losing my shit?
Does he look like me?
Yeah.
Fuck that!
I heard nothing.
[birds chirping]
[insect buzzing,
birds chirping]
DIANNE: They say it hasn't
rained here for 10 years.
OSMOND: It has now.
[birds chirping]
What are they?
I'm not entirely sure,
but I think they might be
roasting pits.
- Roasting pits?
- Yeah.
It's so deep.
[stone clattering]
It's weird shit.
[bell tolling]
DIANNE: Thanks for having us,
Nola.
I was wondering when you
were gonna track me down.
Sorry?
Let me explain.
You took the picture.
I took I took all of them.
All of them?
It's the strangest phenomenon,
isn't it?
I--I go to the lake and take
a photo, and no one's there.
I come home and develop it,
and there they are.
How is that possible?
I don't know.
But you were the first
I recognized.
How do you know me?
You've got that silly spectacle
warehouse commercial on.
It plays every five minutes
here.
Your face stood out because
I've seen it before.
It's the guy from
the BnB last night.
No, that's impossible.
He'd be over 100 years old.
That's Edward Hargraves.
It was his mine that was
being worked down in Ophir.
Does Edward have relatives in
the area?
As far as I know, they all
vanished along with him.
But after seeing you,
I'm questioning that.
Why did you put that...
that photo in my letterbox
and not gimme some explanation
for it?
I don't know why I took it.
It...
It was like I was in a trance,
and I got in the car
and off I went.
And truthfully, I've just
been trying to forget it.
Can you, uh--Can you tell
us about the missing miners?
Where did they go?
I don't know.
It's a--It's a mystery.
All we've got are the stories
that are passed down,
the ones my grandfather told me
and his grandfather told him.
And what do the locals say?
A few theories exist.
Uh...
Apparently in Edward's day,
there was a lot of conflict
with the local Aboriginal mob.
Some say the local Aboriginal
community
wiped the miners out.
I think that's a bunch of
bullshit.
What do you think happened?
There's something unusual
about Ophir.
Even since I was a little girl,
it just hasn't been right.
If you ask me,
I agree with the mob.
They say the miners
brought a plague with them,
a water curse.
They say the townspeople
are in the lake.
DIANNE: After seeing all
these homes,
it's hard to imagine
everyone just vanishing.
OSMOND: Nola said
something about a water curse?
Yeah.
I'm not sure how
but everything's been connected
to water: lakes, rivers.
And everything started off
again after the storms.
It's gotta be connected.
Connected by a curse?
I don't know.
OSMOND: How could that
woman have that picture of us?
I think it could all
just be a setup.
She could be just playing dumb.
DIANNE: She didn't seem
like the type, but, I mean,
it was suspicious.
And you think that psycho that
came in the cabin last night
is Edward Hargraves?
It certainly looked
a lot like him.
How could it be him?
I don't know.
How could he look
so much like me?
Do you think it's like what
you were talking about before,
like, another dimension or
something?
You didn't believe me.
I don't know anymore.
Well, I mean it's
possible you're a relative.
Maybe that's why
you were drawn here.
OSMOND: Maybe I should look
up my family tree, I guess.
The resemblance is uncanny.
OSMOND: How how could
he still be alive, though?
What is he? 150 years old?
DIANNE: He's been
somewhere else.
Maybe time is different there.
DIANNE: It almost sounds like
voices.
OSMOND: Don't say that.
Maybe the townspeople went
down the mine and got trapped.
All of them?
I kinda wanna go inside.
I can't.
I know.
But I kinda wanna go in too.
DIANNE: This place
is completely flooded.
That's a bad thing, right?
Yeah.
You wanna keep going?
Let's go.
[footsteps clicking]
REGGIE: I am not being
paid enough for this.
OSMOND: So much water.
What do you wanna do?
[creature howls]
- Did you hear that
- Yeah, I fucking heard it.
REGGIE: Guys, I wanna go.
Maybe we should go
- [creature howling]
REGGIE: What is that?
Run!
[Dianne panting]
We've just been
running around the mines.
We could hear voices,
but I think we're getting close.
I'm glad we came.
[panting]
At times, um...
I thought Dianne was, um...
not crazy
but hanging onto her grief
too much.
I don't blame her for
being fucked up by that.
It'd be hard for a little girl
to lose her mum like that.
Everything else that's been
happening.
Like, why are we in that
picture?
Did somebody want us here?
Part of me just
feels like I...
I should just bail.
For some reason, I just can't
leave her.
[water splashing]
OSMOND: This is it.
We should set up the cameras,
see if we can capture
anything strange overnight.
Do you ever think that
the photo was a warning?
Maybe we shouldn't be here.
There's something here, Oz.
We need to figure out
what it is.
- Aren't you scared?
- Of course.
[sighs]
That's us dead in the water.
That wasn't real.
Yeah, but what if it's
a premonition
of what will happen if we
don't mind our own business?
We need to find the truth.
[child laughing]
DIANNE: Clara.
OSMOND: This way.
[child laughing]
REGGIE: Rolling.
As we were walking out,
we heard a kid laughing.
It sounded like it came
from in here.
Might be Clara.
I don't think there's anyone
down there.
[stone clattering]
It's deep but not too deep.
That's what she said.
- Sorry.
- Put a camera down there.
[static crackling]
[static crackling]
[player clicks]
[tape winding]
Why would they do that?
If you ask me,
it's a sacrifice.
To what? A demon.
I don't know.
It's easy to call the unknown
a demon.
Why film it?
I think they were
showing others what to do.
Maybe they ran out of
children.
That's a disturbing thought.
Was anyone ever punished
for that?
There was no one left
to punish.
You'd be wise to leave now.
Don't go back there.
Thanks for having us, Nola.
Some secrets are better left
buried.
We'll be leaving tomorrow.
I don't know what
or who woke it up,
but let's hope it goes back
to sleep soon.
Maybe you should leave too.
This is my home.
I've learned to live with it.
I just keep my distance,
and you two should do the same.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I set up a camera in
the house last night,
and there's something
I think you should see.
What is it?
[Osmond chuckles]
You're joking.
That fucking thing was
in your room last night?
DIANNE: Yeah.
Hargraves and now this shit.
Yeah.
I can't sleep after
the last couple of days.
Like, that-that dude
coming into the place.
Looking exactly like me,
like...
what the fuck?
And the Nola woman
has a photo of him.
He's 100 years old.
Like, I've had my doubts
about Dianne early on,
and the whole thing with...
with Clara and her being
arrested.
I was thinking about bailing
back then.
But the shit that's happened
in the last two days...
I gotta...
I gotta hang out and...
and see what's going on
with all this shit,
because it's freaking me out.
But I have to know
what's going on.
[sighs]
It's just too many
coincidences.
It's just...
I can't ignore it.
[door creaks]
[Dianne crying,
footsteps thudding]
[water rushing,
Dianne crying]
Dianne?
Is that you?
You all right?
Dianne, what is it?
Did that horseman come
into your room again?
REGGIE: Dianne?
I was asked that
I record this,
even if just for myself.
I had a nightmare.
A very vivid nightmare
about my mother.
She was walking into the lake
that we visited today.
Maybe it wasn't a dream.
I don't know.
Anyway,
she looked just like she did
in the photos from when
she went missing.
And when I woke up, it was like
she was right there,
in my ear, whispering.
OSMOND: What did she say?
She was just saying my name,
over and over.
OSMOND: Why did you scream?
Because it wasn't her voice
anymore.
It was something deep,
inhuman.
Oz, I think my mother's
in hell.
You okay?
We should stay tonight.
I knew you were gonna say
that.
There's nothing on the tapes.
We should stay tonight.
[Osmond sighs]
Do you mind grabbing the cameras
and the tripod?
Yeah, no worries.
[water splashing]
[bird calls]
OSMOND: Do you believe in
curses?
Many cultures from
around the world
have a history of belief in
curses.
I just feel like nothing
comes from nothing, you know?
Do you think we should speak
to the local Aboriginal mob?
There are Aboriginal curses,
right?
This is something else.
[person screaming]
Hello?
OSMOND: Where's it coming
from?
DIANNE: I don't know. It sounds
far away but-but close.
OSMOND: Hello?
- [people screaming]
- Oh, shit!
- It's her.
- What? Who?
- Mum.
- What?
Mum? Mum?
Mum! It's me, Dianne!
Mum!
[people screaming]
It's her! I know it!
[people screaming]
[screaming continues]
Show yourselves!
[screaming continues]
I'm worried about Dianne.
I hope we get some answers,
'cause she's just not coping.
[creature growling]
You keep making noise.
When are you gonna come out?
[footsteps]
Is this you?
Is that you in Dianne's room?
[creature growling]
I think we woke it up...
with our mining and fracking.
Who could sleep in this earth?
I mean, maybe the floods
enabled it.
Or we woke it up.
CREW MEMBER: Quiet on set
upstairs.
Ready? Action.
[clack]
Speed.
Set.
REGGIE: They told me to film,
no matter what, so I did.
[camera shatters clicking]
- Enough of that. Nobody else.
- Stop.
WOMAN: I was just doing my job.
MAN: How many bodies?
I didn't think anything would
happen.
[water splashing]
REGGIE: Honestly. I don't think
they drowned,
but they never
came out of the lake.
That's a fact.
NICK: We have no further
information
on their whereabouts.
It wasn't a deep lake.
We used divers and underwater
scanning equipment,
found nothing.
They're not in there.
We do know, however,
that Dianne Wilson visited Ophir
on several occasions
in the past,
despite giving the locals
the impression
that she'd never been there.
I told them not to
go back there.
They were getting too close.
INTERVIEWER: To what?
The truth.
The truth is, Dianne Wilson was
a troubled soul.
She'd never really gotten
over the death of her mother.
And she was known to be
stalking a young child
who'd gone missing
in the area.
She may have been stalking
children for years
and dumping them in that well.
For now, though, people have
to draw their own conclusions.
Or until we can find
Dianne Wilson, of course.
Do I think he's alive?
Yes.
Well, until we find his body,
he's alive, right?
Oz's family came after us,
hard.
They blamed us for everything.
I think it's pretty clear
that Oz made his own choices.
He wasn't forced
to do anything.
As for these mythological
creatures
that she's talking about,
we've got...
I think it's just an
excuse to get into the area
and just look for children,
playing with their heads.
I just feel sorry for
them people's family,
because no one knows
where they gone.
It's up to the language
of land and the spirits.
It's got nothing to do with
people.
Same with all them people that
were taken
by them bad energy,
by that bad water spirit.
They're gone.
Their flesh language
is no longer,
but their spirit remains
and will tell the story of
what happened.
REGGIE: I don't why
I came back here.
I just felt like I had to.
Maybe I am like Dianne,
I want answers.
The police dredged the lake.
People searched the area for
weeks, and no one found this.
[water splashing]
It's the camera Dianne was
holding when she walked in.
It seems to still be intact.
I'm gonna play the footage
for you now.
No matter what, the police
will say it's a hoax,
but...
I'll let you make up
your own mind.
[static crackling]
[Osmond breathing heavily]
DIANNE: Oz, get up.
- I can't see anything.
- We're in a cave.
- Okay. How can you tell?
- The camera?
OSMOND: Let me see.
You brought a camera?
I always keep it in
my pockets, just in case.
OSMOND: Of course you did.
- We gotta go. We gotta go.
- Fuck!
Let's go this way.
Fuck!
[Osmond and Dianne panting]
OSMOND: Do you think it's, like,
a cave under the lake,
and we somehow drifted
in there or something?
Fuck.
[drum banging]
- Is that a drum?
- What?
Shh. Shh.
[Osmond heavily breathing]
What the fuck it that?
Just wait here, and I'm gonna
try and find my way out here.
- Be quick, okay?
- Okay.
[static crackling]
[Osmond breathing heavily]
[drum banging]
I keep seeing little flashes
of light,
but every time I get up to 'em,
they just disappear.
Fuck!
I think we're fucked.
[breathing heavily]
Dianne!
Ah. fuck!
Where are you?
Going round in
fucking circles.
Shit.
What the fuck?
Okay.
Fuck. Fuck.
Dianne?
Dianne?
Oh, fucking...
Dianne! Dianne!
Where are you?
[creature screaming]
Is that you, Dianne?
[static crackling]
[creature growls]
Fuck!
[Diane cackling]
VOICE:
I came to find you.
[Diane screaming]
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did
you sleep last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver the whole night
though
The longest train
I ever saw
Run by Joe Brown's
coal mine
The headlight passed
At six o'clock
The cab came by at nine
My girl, my girl
Where will you go?
I'm going where
the cold wind blows
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I will shiver the whole night
though
My father was
A mining man
Killed a mile and a half
from town
His head was found
In in the drivin' wheel
But his body has never been
found
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep
last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I shivered the whole night
though
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep
last night
In the mines,
in the mines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver
The whole night through
