Oh, shit!
Did you see Shay?

What the hell happened?
I was in the woods.
I heard something getting close to me, but I couldn't see it
and it's so damn dark in there.
The trail camera flashes went off.
I was surrounded.
By who?
I could only see them for split seconds, in the flashes.
♪
They grabbed me.
Who's they?
I can't really describe them.
It's like they weren't even there.
They were transparent almost.
It was a nightmare.
It was like it wasn't real, and I was just going to wake up.
-You know? -Where were you?
I... I don't know.
Think.
It was like a cave. It might've been a cave.
Go get Grady.
We need to know if there's a cave around here anywhere.
Okay, when you went after Laurie
you were headed west, did you keep going that way?
Maybe. I don't know.
The things that grabbed you, did they look
like the images on the trail camera?
I don't know.
Did they speak?
Not in English.
In what, Native American?
"Wendigo," did you hear that word, "Wendigo?"
No.
He's gone.
He must have gone after Laurie.
So what's the plan?
Nothing until sunrise.
-I think we should go now. -Now?
You want to try to find a cave in pitch black?
It's impossible.
We'll have better luck in daylight.
And what if that's too late? Huh?
Walking around blind all night isn't going to speed things up.
It's all relative.

You really can be an asshole, man.
Your brother is an asshole.
Always has been.

Hey!
[Dan] Where'd they go?
- Who's that? -Ahh!
Damn, you scared the hell out of me.
Where were you?
In the woods.
I thought I heard Laurie.
Why didn't you tell us where you were going?
What?
You guys never went after her, so I left.
I couldn't just leave her out there all alone.
She'd never survive.
He's right.
Carson went after her, too.
-No, Carson's in the cabin. -No.
When you guys went down there, he went in there.
Shit. Carson!
Carson!
He said he wanted to go after the cave.
What the hell?
We might as well go in after him, right?
No, don't you get it?
Whatever this thing is, it's sinister.
We don't know how to fight it okay?
Going after Carson is exactly what it wants us to do.
But how do you know that?
Because we're all scattered.
Nobody knows where anybody is.
We should have stayed together.
I agree with Mark.
It's useless.

Hey, we found Shay.

[Grady] Not in a helping mood?
Oh, you have a camera.
One of those no-flash infrared things.
I like the flash cameras better.
They... alert me.
Oh, come now.
What is Wendigo?
A demon of the Algonquin.
It kills people and eats them.
It can assume their identities.
[multiple voices] I can assume their identities.
Wendigo.
[Grady] At your service.
I've lived here for hundreds of years.
And the lake people?
Settlers killed in a Huron raid at this very spot.
They were trying to warn you, you know,
with all the "leave, go to the woods to safety,"
shit like that.
Not really original, if you ask me.
-Who lived in the cabin? -A Mr. Harris.
Back in the 1880s, he fell in love with a beautiful woman,
and during an especially brutal winter, she ate him.
So now whenever she gets hungry, she rents it out.
And that would be you.
Now you're getting it.
Who put all the cameras up?
Wendigo hunters... they were onto me...
thought they could destroy me, which was comical.
So the smudgings and the water blessings, didn't work?
Oh, it worked on the trail cameras.
I can't touch those.
They should have blessed themselves.
They'd still be here.
The bonfire?
[Wendigo] A visual masterpiece, if I might say.
Took a lot of energy to conjure that up
while I was still in Grady form.
Who was Grady?
Just a hiker, long missing, long forgotten.
Shay, Laurie, Carson, Dan, they were all
really nice people and yummy, too.
They'll get me through the winter.
You, however, are not a nice person, which is why
I saved you for last.
Your ancestors killed my ancestors.
They desecrated our burial land and destroyed our culture,
