Tape Content Description:
Upon the first viewing of this tape, I really thought it would just be empty like the majority of the others I have stored. This one stood out in a frightening way. After constant cleaning and repairing on the tape, it finally played through. It started out in a dark, ominous room, with only a wooden floor visible on the recording. I began to hear heavily distorted mumbling in the background of the audio, which became louder as it went on. Still, nothing seemed to be happening on the screen. The next thing to catch my attention was what seemed to be muffled crying, with periodic heavy breathing. This would continue to go on for another 3 minutes. Light static appears and eventually covers the entire screen. The static cuts out. The dark room had turned a dark maroon, and was slowly becoming darker. Then, a mysterious figure appears. A lifeless, red, and distorted face. A strange, unnerving sound begins to play. Strange messages begin to appear on screen. The ones I could make out to be were "Do Not Pretend I Am Not Real.", "I Have Returned.", "Let It Consume You.", and "I Am Watching." The messages disappear and the noise stops. A final message plays that read, "I Am Here." Suddenly, the TV screen turns to complete static, which seemed to be all spiraling toward the middle of the screen. Then, the red figure appeared physically in front of me. I began to tremble. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It disappears, and the tape is automatically ejected. I attempted to play the tape again, but the contents of the tape seemed to be wiped, except for the dark room. The mumbling and crying audio was gone, and watching the tape for 5 minutes to make sure that it wasn't the same, the strange figure never appeared. The only thing I wonder is where the figure went, and if the figure is COR.
