In 2009 four young friends found a lost urn in a particular area of Leiria pine forest, known as "Firefly Valley"
Far from imagining that by opening the urn they would release a terrible secret.
THE SECRET OF THE FIREFLY VALLEY
Baby what about taking some pictures over there? Do you know this place?
I don't think so. Where are we?
"Fonte da Felicia" (Felicia Fountain ) but we are going a bit further down.
I have to lock the car...
But you are going to like this, it's nice and we will take some pictures for facebook.
This is really beautiful!
Do you see this? It is "Fonte da Felicia". But we are not going to stay here…
We're going further down...
This is really nice!
It is! I don’t know how you never came here.
Do you see that path? We are going to the "Firefly Valley"
Firefly Valley?
Yes, do you know it?
I've never been there and I don’t know if I'll like it.
Why?
Nobody told you the Firefly Valley story?
No… but tell me!
My grandma told me that a family came here once to have a picnic.
They had a daughter, a little girl that disappeared and was never found.
Do you believe in that kind of stories? It makes no sense!
You never know…
That's nonsense. Come on, let's keep going!
Wait!
There's more.
I read in a blog that some friends came here and found some rotten fruits, some flowers…
That is all made up!
No it's not! They also found an urn.
Don’t tell me that the spirit of the girl came out…
It looks more like a satanic ritual…
You believe in anything!
But those supernatural and secret things scare me.
It makes no sense.
You know, they make up those stories so people don’t come here...
...and they can smoke some joints. And then of course they see people and things!
Still… they are crazy if they see people… That scares!
Watch out here…
And I'm the one who has to watch out!
I fell, this is dangerous!
Only you to make me laugh.
What's wrong? Aren't you coming?
I thought I heard something…
It is the little girl laughing at you?
Don't play with that, I push you!
Just try it!
Hey baby are you tired?
Yes… are we still far?
No, it's right over there, come on it's nice.
Hey don't fall again.
No, I better not.
Oh, look we can’t go through, let's go back.
The path is here…
Watch out…
Watch out, your head!
Don't hurt yourself.
We are almost there.
I hope it is beautiful. I'm tired!
It is and we are going to take some nice pictures, you'll see.
See? This is the "Firefly Valley"… Do you think this scares anyone?
No!
And do you think that are here scary little girls?
Don't start again!
This is really beautiful.
Ok! Go over there...
You know I don't have skills for this.
Me neither!
What do you want me to do?
Sit down…
Ok… smile… a pretty face…
Smile for me...
Now with both hands...
Let's go over there what do you think? To take a picture with the lake behind?
Ok. Where?
There, next to the trunk.
One more…
Can you climb the trunk?
I think so!
Are you sure? Don't fall!
Can I shoot?
Yes… I'm ready!
Don't want to take you to the hospital.
Ok…
One more… smile...
As you see it's not that difficult…
Exactly!
One more...
Stay as you are...
Now put your hand on your right knee…
What is that???
What?
I saw a kid! A kid?
Yes, on the bridge!
I'm not seeing anything…
I'm serious! I'm not kidding.
No you're not! You're messing with me!
No, I swear! I saw!
I told you the story now you're trying to scare me!
No, I'm not! Believe me!
I don't see anything.
We better go over there take some more pictures…
You are already seeing things…
Go behind that trunk.
Here?
Ok… Baby put you hand on your face. Like this?
Yes!
Wait… now I'm sure I saw… I… I saw someone again!
Again a little girl? I don't see anything.
I don't know… it was a bit strange... I swear I saw it!
I still can't see her…
I swear, I took a picture and I saw her on the machine.
You saw her there? Let me see…
Really but now I can't see her.
You saw her over there?
Yes!
So take a picture to see if she appears again.
Now I can't see…
Didn't you saw her on the bridge?
Yes…
So… take a picture!
Ok!
Look… I can't see her now!
Get closer!
I can't see anything.
You're trying to scare me! Give me the machine, I'm taking pictures now.
Stay here!
Here? Like this?
Yes!
All this time to take a picture… and put your hand under the machine!
I know nothing about photography!
Yeah, I can see that!
Come here!
Here?
Yes!
What's wrong?
I saw the girl, let's leave!
PETER! PETER!
SUSAN!
SUSAN!?
SUSAN! SUSAN?!
Nobody knows how to explain what happened that day…
The police was called to investigate Peter's accident and Susan's disappearance.
Susan whereabouts are unknown until today as well as the accident causes.
The only one that could explain what happened that day was Peter...
...but after the accident he was never the same.
6 months later
Residence with assistance for mental recovery
Peter…
It's ok. It's just me. That are only things from your head.
Let's get up.
It's time for medication.
Let's put on the slippers…
...the other.
Come on, you've got to help me.
Very good!
One more...
Water!
Let me see… Very good! You're already taken your medication.
Let's get up to go to the bathroom…
Yesterday you went... come one!
Yesterday you went by yourself. I'll be right here, if you need something call me, ok?
And after that we go to sleep… I'm here Peter!
