22mins 40 seconds during the fibreoptic call, the screen flashes several times and fills with static. Full-screen flashes. Stops after 30 seconds or so. 24 minutes in whilst swimming through the tunnel there are 2 or 3 isolated flashes of a camera as someone is taking photos underwater.

“Demons” are depicted in a mural inside of a church. The creatures are considered demons by whoever created the mural.
A part of the cave resembles hell due to methane gas and fires.
