Some things in the woods don’t want to be seen. They want to be heard.

Tonight’s episode is all about The Mimic — voices in the forest that sound familiar, comforting… and wrong. Friends calling your name when they aren’t there. A woman singing where no one should be. Voices that repeat themselves, answer questions no one asked, or come from places that don’t make sense.

Across these stories, the pattern is clear: The voice knows you. The tone is off. And every instinct says the same thing — don’t answer.

These encounters span deep Appalachian woods, remote trails, rural backyards, and isolated campsites. Different places, same feeling. A sense of being watched. The realization that the voice isn’t the threat — it’s the lure.

Because whatever’s out there doesn’t need to chase you.

It just needs you to take one step off the path, and follow what you are hearing.
