Plot
The film begins with a mother and young daughter mushroom-hunting in the forest of the Swiss Alps. While searching for more mushrooms, the girl finds a mysterious boy shining a light, directing her to a cluster of mushrooms. As she collects the mushrooms, she discovers a human skeleton in the cluster and screams in horror. The police arrive at the location to investigate the skeleton, which the autopsy confirms that a man died on the spot about thirty years ago. To identify the youth she encountered, the police officer present the girl photos of boys who were reported missing, which she points to the image of the boy she witnessed identified as Albert Parpan, who was reported missing in 1975. The police officer believed that the girl has seen a ghost, as the youth was reported missing about thirty years ago. The girl's mother tells the officer a story of another police officer who didn't believe in ghosts.
