This is Sam Bailey Log, October 25th, 2019.

It's been a few days since I last got out of the cabin.

After my running with that, whatever caused the fire, it's been hard to want to go outside.

Not that I've been able to get it out of my head by staying inside either.

I mean, what even was it? Is it something I need to be worried about

running into out here? Did I stop it? Send it away? Is it even something I can stop? I don't know.

I just finally got to feeling like I couldn't stay cooped up inside any longer, so here I am.

Maybe I'll find it again. Maybe I'll find nothing. Hopefully it's the latter.

As much as I want to figure this stuff out, I need a break from the supernatural for the time

being. Not that I'm helping matters by wandering around out here, looking for it.

I decided to take my recorder with me this time.

If something does happen, I'd prefer to capture it as it's happening,

instead of relying on my memory, or my ability as a storyteller.

Not that an unnatural force fire would read much better on tape, but...

Well, it made more sense when I left the cabin.
