Their next episode is about a legendary box wrapped in chains in a cave. They set up an interview with Jeff, whose run down house in the middle of nowhere. He doesn’t want them inside and tells them to go out back.
Jeff’s father and his friend Bob found the box while hunting. They headed home to get some tools to open it, but Jeff’s mother was in labor and they never went back. Later that year Bob killed himself and Jeff’s father died, prompting the story the box was cursed.
But what is the story? Two guys found a box? What was in it? Did anyone ever see it again? How did this group hear of this story? We’re twenty three minutes in and we have no idea what the legend.
The group asks if the curse is real and where they can find the cave. Jeff agrees to help them locate it, even though there was conflict with the group. For some reason Stephanie wanders around the house and finds an old woman in a room. Everyone freaks out because Jeff said no one else was there, and the woman is screaming they’re all going to die. Jeff is mad because he said he didn’t want them in his house and says they upset his dementia addled grandmother.
The next day they head into the woods with Jeff, and we’re left wondering why they would spend the night in the woods with a man they know they can’t trust. Jeff disappears which is never explained. The group finds the cave, but the opening is made out of concrete. It’s confusing why this wouldn’t have made it easy to locate. They go into the cave and as expected, things go horribly wrong.
The footage is often out of focus. Many times the background is sharp and the foreground blurry. It happens enough so that you start watching and waiting for it to happen again. You don’t care about the characters and they make some questionable decisions.

| Hey guys, only the background is in focus. |

| Hey guys, nothing is in focus. Should we reshoot it? |
