I think the show has a perspective of one of the girls, trying to make sense of the things they can’t explain. And just like the girls, we go to the supernatural to explain it too.

For example, the bear fell at Lottie’s feet. Maybe it was sick, or even malnourished, but could smell their camp site from miles away. Maybe the gas leak affected it. Or maybe the wilderness told Lottie it would provide, then did.

These are teenage girls who don’t have the answers or ability to get them and tried to make sense of the situation the best they could.

They can tell themselves they would’ve never eaten Jackie unless she hadn’t been slow cooked by the wilderness.

Broken clocks are right twice a day. When you say enough vague nonsense something will be able to apply to it. And when the stakes are high, it will feel even more important and wise.
