List of The X-Files episodes

"Chinga" is the tenth episode of season 5 of the television series The X-Files. Scully takes a vacation to Maine, where she encounters a bizarre case where the victims appear to have inflicted wounds upon themselves — apparently at the behest of a strange young girl.

[edit] Production

The phone conversation is a reversal of the season 3 episode "War of the Coprophages". This time Scully is on the case and is consulting Mulder for his opinion.
Stephen King first expressed interest when he was on an episode of Jeopardy! with David Duchovny. He told Duchovny that he loved the show and he'd like to write an episode.
This episode was titled "Bunghoney" in the U.K. and other markets.
