00:00People think a wrong turn is a simple mistake, a missed exit at the tour.
00:06But some wrong turns are more than accidents.
00:09They're invitations, doors you open without realizing the price you'll pay for stepping through.
00:15This is the story of one such wrong turn.
00:18The night a small team of creators drove out searching for a story,
00:22and came back with something no audience should ever hear.
00:26Ava Merza was the leader.
00:28A determined podcaster chasing whispers of forgotten places.
00:32Rafi, her cameraman, was loyal but skeptical.
00:36Maya, their researcher, didn't believe in curses.
00:41Omar, the driver, said nothing good comes from roads people stop using.
00:46But curiosity is hungrier than caution.
00:49Ava explained what brought them there.
00:52She had received a package with no return address.
00:55Inside was a photograph of a boy fading into the trees, and a note that read,
01:01They say the road eats the lost.
01:04Along with it was a burned map marked with a lodge deep in hollow ridge.
01:08Maya scoffed, saying it was a prank.
01:11Rafi thought it was marketing bait.
01:13But Omar looked at the photo too long, as if something in it stirred recognition.
01:19He said nothing.
01:21And there, under the fading light of a cracked lamp, they decided to follow the map.
01:27The group drove out toward hollow ridge.
01:30The road narrowed with every mile.
01:32Trees bent inward as though trying to erase the path.
01:35Their GPS glitched and finally froze, leaving only a pulsing arrow.
01:40The arguments began.
01:43Maya wanted to turn back.
01:45Ava pressed forward.
01:47Rafi tried to calm them down.
01:49Omar drove silently, jaw tight.
01:52Then the forest opened into a small clearing.
01:55A weathered sign leaned to one side, carved with deep letters.
01:59Welcome to hollow ridge.
02:01Beware the watcher.
02:02Rafi laughed nervously.
02:04Ava filmed the sign.
02:06But Omar muttered under his breath.
02:08It's still here.
02:10At the end of the path, they found it.
02:13The hollow ridge lodge.
02:15Once a hunting retreat.
02:16Now a shell sinking into the mud.
02:19Windows cracked.
02:20Wood warped.
02:21Roof slanting.
02:23It looked less like a building and more like something the forest wanted to bury.
02:28A figure stepped out from the porch.
02:30Sheriff Daniel Hale.
02:32His uniform was faded.
02:34His eyes sharp, but weary.
02:36He told them to leave.
02:38You don't want to stay after dark.
02:41Ava smiled politely, thanked him, and said they were only documenting history.
02:47Hale studied them for too long before turning away.
02:50His boots crunched on gravel until the night swallowed the sound.
02:55Inside the lodge, they found a guest ledger.
02:58Pages filled with names.
02:59Most of them violently scratched out.
03:03At the back door, muddy footprints trailed out into the forest, but ended abruptly.
03:08As if the walker had simply vanished.
03:11Night fell quickly.
03:12They set up equipment in the lounge, reviewing early footage.
03:16Then Roofie noticed something.
03:19From one frame, a long distorted shadow passed across the window.
03:23Too tall.
03:24Too thin.
03:25It stretched unnaturally, then vanished in the next second.
03:30Ava checked her audio recorder.
03:32A faint word bled through static.
03:34Stay.
03:35The group panicked.
03:36Maya demanded they leave, but when they tried the car, its battery was drained.
03:43They huddled by the lodge to Orodot above them came footsteps.
03:47Slow.
03:48Deliberate.
03:49Heavy.
03:50The sound of someone walking across the roof.
03:53Then a dragging noise.
03:55Like cloth across Orodot Omar.
03:57Restless.
03:58Went out to check.
04:00Minutes passed.
04:01Silence.
04:01When the others finally stepped outside, they saw Omar's boots, standing neatly in the mud.
04:09But Omar was gone.
04:11Tied to a tree nearby was a white ribbon, marked with a crude black eye.
04:16Panic fractured the group.
04:18Ava tried to steady them, insisting Omar might be playing a prank.
04:23But Maya screamed at her.
04:25Omar wasn't the type.
04:27They tried calling out.
04:28Their voices swallowed by the trees.
04:30No echo returned.
04:33Only a whisper of branches moving.
04:36The night pressed heavier.
04:38Rafi replayed audio again.
04:40This time more words emerged.
04:43Faint.
04:44Layered.
04:44Wrong.
04:45He watches.
04:46Don't.
04:47Look.
04:48Maya wanted to run into the woods, but Ava stopped her.
04:51If we split, we're finished.
04:54The camera flickered.
04:56For a moment, a tall shape appeared at the edge of light.
05:00Too far to see clearly.
05:02But there, they retreated into the lodge.
05:05Barricading the doors dot inside.
05:08They discovered claw marks raked along the hallway walls.
05:12Not fresh, but deep enough to split wood.
05:15Maya whispered that this wasn't human.
05:17Ava shushed her, but her own voice trembled.
05:22Upstairs, they found a child's room untouched by time.
05:26A broken crib.
05:28A stuffed rabbit missing an eye.
05:30On the wall, written in faded crayon.
05:33Don't look out the window.
05:35Rafi aimed his camera at the cracked window.
05:37In the glass reflection, a figure stood in the doorway behind them.
05:43But when he turned, the doorway was empty.
05:46They huddled together, whispering about leaving at dawn.
05:50But dawn never came.
05:53The clock ticked.
05:54Hours passed.
05:55Yet the sky outside remained locked in night.
05:58Ava realized the forest wasn't just surrounding them.
06:02It was keeping them.
06:04Then came the knockin' dot soft, patient.
06:07Not at the door, but on the walls.
06:11From every side.
06:13When they peeked out the window, ribbons marked with black eyes hung from every tree.
06:18Hundreds of them swaying in a wind they couldn't feel that the watcher had circled them.
06:23Maya snapped.
06:24She ran outside, screaming for Omar Dot.
06:27The others chased her, but stopped dead.
06:29She had vanished into the fog within seconds.
06:32Her screen cutting off as if swallowed.
06:35On the ground where she'd stood lay her phone.
06:37Screen cracked.
06:39Camera's still recording.
06:41Ava picked up the phone.
06:43On the last seconds of video, Maya's face filled the frame.
06:47Eyes wide and terror dot behind her.
06:50Something impossibly tall bent out of the fog.
06:53Long fingers reaching.
06:55The screen cut to black.
06:57Now only Ava and Rafi remained.
07:00They argued bitterly.
07:02Ava insisted they document everything.
07:05Rafi shouted that documenting wouldn't matter if they died dot as they argued.
07:09The sound of Omar's voice echoed from the forest.
07:13Come back.
07:14Please.
07:16Ava froze.
07:17Rafi whispered.
07:18That's not him.
07:20The voice grew louder.
07:21Now overlapping with Maya's cries.
07:24Distorted.
07:25Echoing in layers.
07:27The forest was speaking in their friends' voices.
07:30Rafi dropped his camera in terror.
07:33The audio kept recording.
07:35Feint whispers filled the tape.
07:37Stay.
07:38Forever.
07:39Watch with us.
07:40They tried escaping through the woods.
07:43But the forest twisted.
07:45Every path bent back toward the lodge.
07:48Their footprints circled endlessly dot finally.
07:51They stumbled upon Omar's jacket hanging from a branch.
07:55Beneath it.
07:56No body.
07:57Only bones arranged neatly in the shape of an eye.
08:01They ran until breathless.
08:03The lodge appeared ahead again.
08:05No matter which way they turned.
08:07Ava whispered.
08:08He wants us here.
08:10Rafi broke down.
08:12Sobbing.
08:13Refusing to go back inside.
08:15But the lodge door creaked open on its own.
08:18Inside.
08:19The rooms had changed dot walls bled with ink-like stains forming crude eyes.
08:24The ledger now displayed their own names.
08:27Freshly written.
08:28Omar and Maya's names were already crossed out.
08:32Only Ava and Rafi remained.
08:34Rafi tried destroying the ledger.
08:37Pages wouldn't tear.
08:39Fire wouldn't catch.
08:40The ink only spread further across his hands.
08:44Ava recorded him.
08:45Whispering that maybe documenting was the only weapon they had.
08:49That night.
08:51Ava woke to find Rafi gone.
08:54His camera was left behind.
08:56Still recording.
08:57The final frame showed him walking calmly into the forest.
09:01Eyes wide open.
09:03Lips moving soundlessly.
09:05Now Ava was alone.
09:08She whispered into her recorder.
09:09If anyone finds this, don't follow.
09:13Don't listen.
09:14The watcher doesn't hunt.
09:16It waits.
09:17Then a shadow fell across her.
09:19Her final recording ended mid-sentence.
09:23The screen flickered.
09:24Showing only the black eye symbol repeated endlessly.
09:28Then silence.
09:29Weeks later.
09:31Hikers found the abandoned lodge.
09:33The cameras were recovered.
09:36The footage leaked.
09:37But Ava, Omar, Maya and Rafi were never found.
09:42Locals say Hollow Ridge is still there.
09:45And the wrong turn is waiting.
09:47For the next traveler curious enough to take it.
