Highlights
The team discusses the baffling disappearance of an old woman, described as a 'witch,' who vanished seemingly into thin air. They rationalize that a human or animal would leave tracks, leading them to believe they might be dealing with something otherworldly. They then discover a 'witching rock' at the location where the woman was last seen, which one member claims is a portal to the spirit world, allowing for disappearance and reappearance.
Following the witch's pointed direction, the team uncovers a gruesome find: a liver wrapped in old cloth, appearing to have been eaten. Embedded within the liver is a piece of obsidian. This discovery connects to a local Cherokee legend of the 'spear finger woman,' who stabs people in the liver with her long finger and eats them. This realization leads them to believe they are now hunting this legendary creature.
Amidst the growing strangeness, the group receives a call about a trail camera video showing what appears to be a Bigfoot's hand. Deciding they need a break from the current eerie investigation, they enthusiastically agree to pursue this new lead, hoping for a definitive Bigfoot sighting and a change of pace.
On their Bigfoot hunt, they find evidence of a large creature, including a broken tree that required significant force to snap, indicating an older event. They also find mushrooms with bite marks. While the signs are intriguing, they appear to be old, suggesting the Bigfoot may have moved on.
The team discovers a severely damaged trail camera, with the SD card still intact, hoping it contains footage of what destroyed it. They decide to split up to try and surround the creature, increasing their chances of an encounter and capturing footage.
While alone, Buck experiences strange occurrences, including hearing his dad's voice and other unusual noises. He attempts to lure a Bigfoot with various calls, including country music. The experience leaves him disoriented and overheated, leading to concerns about a heat stroke.
Bill and another teammate realize Buck is missing from their meetup point, and his radio is found on the ground. When they locate him, Buck is disoriented, believing he's only been alone for a short time, while an hour has passed. He describes feeling unwell and hearing strange noises, reinforcing the idea of a heat-induced hallucination.
As they prepare to leave, the team discovers the box containing their mysterious journal has been partially opened, with dirt on the lid. This unexpected tampering suggests someone, or something, was trying to get into their truck and access the journal, adding another layer of mystery to their already eventful night.
