It was some grab bag of the running, screaming, tent shaking in the middle of the night the bag of tongues and teeth found outside said tent and the lovely arts and crafts left for the unlucky youths in the woods. These kids were actually missing and this footage was proof that some entity or at the very best evil person had hunted them down?! I can’t remember exactly which footage from the movie was shown but I do remember it was what would be considered today a very spoilerish amount. If I heard even the music before bed I was prone to need to watch Fresh Prince or something to shake it off.Įxtremely creeped the hell out on that fateful night, I fought the urge to just turn off the TV, sat there and took it all in. We lived in an age of unsolved mysteries because the internet was in its infancy and also because of the literal show Unsolved Mysteries. It doesn’t help that this realistic type horror footage always freaked me out. This was all presented as a real documentary. Footage that had been found in the woods where three students had vanished looking for a goddamn witch. Then, the TV program explained in that haunting Dateline type voice-over that we were currently watching real footage. The person holding it was running through the woods, screaming for their lives before falling over and the picture going black. It would also send me on a weeks long goose chase of pure unadulterated fear and culminate in me feeling extremely stupid.īack to my house in the middle of the country alone at home at night, I witnessed or rather was assaulted by the black and white footage from a camera being swung around in a frenzy. Instead, what I was about to see scared the living shit out of me the same way I would imagine witnessing a murder in the middle of the woods would. Then I’d hop on Twitter to see what everyone thinks. Today I would just whip out my phone and Google it and understand this situation. Now, what I was about to experience could not have happened today. Then I hear blood curdling screams and the TV finally catches my attention. I’m loafing around, snacking or whatever. I flipped on the cable TV with the clicker, not even bothering to find a channel. I had just gotten home from a friend’s house after dark and noticed my parents weren’t home.
