Summary
The Snipe Hunt is a right of passage in most rural communities. A young child is taken to the middle of the woods to find the elusive "Snipe" a nocturnal creature which is said to be a foul that moves faster than a hummingbird and whose legacy is on par with Big-Foot or the Loch Ness monster. To story proclaims that whether or not the child is successful in finding the Snipe the outcome is always the same implying that no one has ever managed to survive an encounter with the creature.

The episode is shot in pseudo first person perspective as we the viewer search through the woods with the sound of our own heartbeat growing louder and louder as the story progresses. Strange sounds are heard in the distance which then suddenly get closer before the camera violently gets knocked over and quickly dragged away.
