The next morning, James is sleeping with Lisa as they hear Ashley scream.

Ashley: You guys, get out here!

James unzips the tent and comes outside.

Ashley: No. No, no, no, I'm getting out of here. I'm packing, I'm leaving. This is fucked up.

They see strange stick figures dotted all over the camp.

James: Holy shit.

Ashley: I wanna go home, okay?

James: Where'd this stuff come from?

Peter: Someone must've put these things up while we were asleep.

Lane: Why, what's going on? What's wrong?

Lane comes out of the tent.

Ashley: What do you think?

Lane: We should film these. Talia, get the camera. You guys should be taking pictures!

Lisa: What is it?

Lisa comes out of the tent as Lane gets the camera.

Lane: Thank you.

Talia: What? What is it?

Ashley: You guys, seriously I want to go home now. We need to get out of here.

Peter: Hey, James, that's not a bad idea, okay? We're not prepared for this.

James: Okay, I've seen this stuff before. This was in Heather's footage, guys.

Peter: Shit, there's another one back here.

Lane: That's my tent!

James: Does anybody know what time it is? My watch is sayin' 2:00 p.m.

Ashley: What? How is it even possible we just woke up?

Peter: Look, I know I was tired, but how did we sleep till 2:00 in the afternoon?

Ashley: Can we please get out of here?

James: You know what? Ashley's right. Let's just pack up our stuff and get back to my car, okay?

Lisa: No, no, no, wait, wait. Are you sure?

James: Yeah, yeah, this is too weird. I dunno, we found something, right? Like, we can show the footage to the police. Maybe they'll reopen Heather's case.

Talia begins to take one of the stick figures.

Lane: Wait, I wanna get that on camera.

Talia: I think it's just...

Ashley: Just rip it off the tree, for Christ's sake.

Talia unties the stick figure.

James: Oh, holy shit.

Lane: Wait, wait, that's the shot, that's the shot.

Ashley: I have an idea. Why don't you stay here and get all the footage you want?

Peter: All right, that's it. Come on, turn it off. Turn it off. Let's go!

Lane: I wanna get a shot of it, okay?

They all then begin to take down their tents.

Ashley: Oh, fuck this.

After taking down the tents they all begin to leave.

Lisa: So, hey, what kinda camera is that, man?

Lane: Oh, it's a DV camera.

Lisa: Oh, yeah?
