Question: Why did Jason go into the children's cabin the first and second times? And why did he just draw close to Nancy when she saw him?

Answer: Yes, I don't believe he was trying to scare her; I think he was just looking at her out of genuine curiosity.

Chosen answer: The first and second visits are unexplained. However he drew close to Nancy to install fear in her.

Answer: In all his attacks he's never killed children, it's like he's never seen them before. Plus, it's almost he trying to recall memories of what he's looking at. "Where have I seen these little people before."

The children might possibly remind Jason of his own days at the camp when he was a child, before he drowned.
