The man has green eyes and is called “Billy”; his daughter is called “Eve”. The tattoo on the doll is apparently a symbol in the shape of a rose petal.
The villagers are at a loss for answers, until the man speaks. He tells the village that he works for a secret organisation that investigates supernatural events. At the same time he begins to have hallucinations, hearing voices and seeing visions. The village believes he has gone insane. The man begins to kill people, then to drive them into a wood, to hide them there for good.
