Grabbing his flashlight, Detective Mike Smith notices a woman slumped over.  He shines the light into her eyes and notices that she has no pupils.   Looking a little closer, he notices that an “X” is carved in her forehead with a knife.  With blood dripping out her mouth, she raises a large knife and charges at him.  In a moment of terror, this strange woman vanishes from his sight.

Mike settles down at the cabin and decides to look around the property.  Using his camera, he notices a large X with circle around it drawn in blood.  He immediately notices two apparitions on each side of the X.  On one side of the X, there was a woman dressed scantily with her index finger pointed toward the X.  Her eyes shines an eerie orange color.  She has the expression of horror on her face.  The woman on the other side is dressed  in clothing similar to that of a Quaker or Puritan.  A blinding white light shines from her eyes as she points at the X with an expression of peace.  Capturing this astounding sight with his camera, Mike realizes that what he is seeing is a premonition of things to come.
