I weirdly don’t find this creepy, and I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s because the terrain is difficult and it’s very perfect timing, but not creepy?
Before I read it, I thought it was going to be some deserted island and a living person, who wasn’t them, made it for them. Kinda like a “get off my island” type deal, but creepy because they didn’t know a living person was nearby, which could’ve been bad.
But instead it’s just lost people get lost close to a place where someone got lost previously, and it just so happens a helicopter flew by and saw the sign from the previous person.
Just make SOS signs whenever you’re going on a hike in case someone gets lost there. It’s just being nice to your fellow hikers.
Holy creepers. The wiki is horrifying. Your movie script is set, just don’t have the helicopter show up until after the unwinding of the horror is complete, maybe throw in a caretaker or local perp still active in the area.
Still missing mans belongings stuffed in a tree with a female (maybe?) skeleton found near the sign, man deemed far to weak to have built the sign. No tools found, a recording of a man screaming for help, and the felled birch tree sign made of logs thats estimated to have taken 2 days to build. Sign was estiamted to be built 2 yrs before.
Better than most horror movies plots.
