Someone stay with them at all time.

If bodies alone, the

spirit scream all night.

(lock clanking)

(woman speaking Japanese, muffled)

Sorry. Two second.

You wait.

(headphones:
pop)

(conversation in Japanese, muffled, faint)

(inhales)

(inhales)

(speaking Japanese)

- It's not her.

- No?

- It's not her.

- Good. Good news.

Is there someone who could

help me search the forest?

The forest is very dangerous.

Do not leave the path.

- Can get lost.

- I understand.

- What if I want to hire a guide?

- No guide. Come back.

- Maybe more bodies.

- No.

She's lost. She's not dead.

Do not leave the path.

Sh*t.

Hey. It's mountain.

Lots of metal. Cell

phone do not work up here.

Do you know the forest?

Could you take me in? I'd pay you.

The forest has yurei.

Everybody know that.

Yurei.

You mean ghosts?

Yurei.

Different from ghost.

The forest use them to trick you.

Do you know why "do not leave the path"?

Because if you get lost

and you have sadness in your heart,

they will use it against you.

Yurei come find you

and make you see things

and make you want to die.

And you do it yourself.

Okay.

Thanks for that.

If the yurei are looking

for me, I'll be at my hotel.

(rustling)

(girls giggling)

(people chattering)

- (chattering continues)

- (speakers:
dance pop)

- (Japanese)

- Thanks.

You look familiar. Have we met?

Here? Four days ago?

Uh, hey, sorry.

I don't know you. I was

just a line to start a chat.

"Have you ever been to Greece? Did you go

to Camp Minnehaha in the Rocky Mountains?"

- That kind of thing.

- Right.

I thought you might

have met my sister, Jess.

She came here... and disappeared.

Do you know about the forest?

Yeah.

Is that a possibility with your sister?

We're identical twins. If she

were dead, I would just know.

What do you think she's up

to then, if she's out there?

I think she's struggling with her demons.

Yeah, it happens.

Some people go in. They do sort

of a walkabout, think it over.

Sometimes they come back out again.

I'm Aiden, by the way.

Oh. Sara.

Sara. Pleasure to meet you.

You too.

That's her, a couple of years ago.

- Same, right?

- Identical.

Uh... (Japanese)

- Sisters.

- (Japanese)

- No.

- No, he's never seen her.

Are you fluent?

Yeah. I live in Tokyo. I write for

a travel magazine out of Australia.

- So, did you?

- Huh?

Go to Camp Minnehaha

in the Rocky Mountains?

(laughs) No.

No, I was lucky. I... I went to space camp.

- Oh, space camp.

- Yeah. Lots of fun.

(both laughing)

- All alone?

- Yeah.

- What?

- (laughing) No.

- What?

- No, you'll get lost.

- (mutters)

- Trust me.

Trust me. You will. I've been

in the forest a hundred times.
