In the fall of 1996, a group of friends set out on a road trip through rural Virginia, driven by an obsession with local legends and folklore. Determined to separate fact from fiction, they documented their journey through journals, cassette recordings, and camcorder footage as they explored sites tied to mysterious creatures, chilling histories, and long-whispered tales.
Before they could complete their trip, they vanished without a trace.
Two weeks later, an abandoned vehicle with their belongings was discovered on the side of the road. Among the items was a backpack containing what appeared to be human bones and a crude poppet made of human hair. Nearby, a smashed camcorder with a damaged tape was recovered deep in the woods.
For decades, the footage remained lost.
Now, with modern restoration technology, it has finally been recovered.
Thirty years later, the truth behind their disappearance is ready to be revealed. Are you brave enough to view the footage?
