Trivia
Wade Davis is mentioned in this episode. He wrote "The Serpent and the Rainbow" based on his experiences in Haiti. That book inspired the film The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) with similarities to this episode.

Goofs
Several Marines are seen wearing their uniform without a t-shirt, including Col Wharton. This would never happen because the t-shirt is a mandatory part of the uniform, it is not optional.

Colonel Wharton: Sorry, I'm having my breakfast.
Fox Mulder: That's alright, we already ate.

Voodoo refugees

I know that the summary is not very impressive, but this chapter is. At the beginning of this chapter, a soldier working on a refugee camp crashes after watching some disturbing images of himself.

This would seem like a suicide of a paranoid soldier, or drug addiction, or something similar. But a voodoo-related symbol marked in the tree the soldier crashed on leads to thing into something else.

The refugee camp is being commanded by some international rights law-breaking militar, and the Haitians there are taking it's revenge.

Finally, Mulder and Scully are having to bypass some serious hazardous situations, including the fact that they'll have to fight agains the same symbol found in the tree.
