Bird Leg Cabin is located in the middle of Cauldron Lake. It received its name after the island's shape, a bird's claw. The name is also related to the myth of Baba Yaga which inspired the character Barbara Jagger.
The cabin once belonged to Thomas Zane and Barbara Jagger until a volcano eruption sunk the island in the early 1970s. After Jagger drowned in the lake, Zane rededicated his life to bringing her back with his poems. She returned but as a puppet controlled by the Darkness to drive Zane to write more poems to make it stronger. Zane realised his mistake and in the end wrote the destruction of Diver's Isle.
The cabin has four main rooms; the living room, kitchen, bedroom and study. The living room contained a shoebox filled with poetry books by Thomas Zane. The books were incorporated into Wake's own text.In the bedroom is a calendar with the date; July 4th, 1970. Alan will also mention how the entire building looks like a time capsule from the seventies. If you decide to enter the cabin without Alice, and you enter the study, Alan will have a vision of the antagonist before the kidnapping.
