CreativityTranscript
00:00It started with a sound, not a scream or a crash, but a low, guttural hum, like the earth itself was exhaling.
00:08I heard it at 3.17 a.m., lying in bed, staring at the ceiling of my new apartment.
00:14The noise wasn't loud, but it was wrong, a vibration that crawled up my spine and settled in my skull.
00:20I sat up, heart pounding, and listened.
00:22It came again, softer, from beneath the floorboards.
00:26I lived on the ground floor.
00:27There shouldn't have been anything under me but dirt and concrete, yet there was humming like a machine buried deep, alive and waiting.
00:36I'd moved into the apartment two weeks ago, a cheap rental in a decaying industrial town in Michigan.
00:42The building was old, a squat brick relic from the 1940s, once a factory workers' tenement.
00:49The landlord, a wiry man with yellowed teeth, had rushed me through the lease signing, muttering about good bones and quiet neighbors.
00:56The place was a steal, $1.400 a month for a one-bedroom, but it felled off.
01:02The walls were stained with faint, irregular patches, like water damage that never fully dried.
01:08The air smelled faintly of rust and something sour.
01:12My neighbors, the few I'd seen, moved like shadows, slipping in and out of their units without a word.
01:18I didn't care much at first.
01:20I was 24, fresh out of bad breakup, and just needed a place to crash while I figured out my next move.
01:27That night, the humming didn't stop.
01:29It pulsed, irregular, sometimes fading to a whisper, sometimes sharp enough to rattle my teeth.
01:36I got out of bed, barefoot, and pressed my ear to the floor.
01:39Cold would have been into my skin.
01:40The sound was clearer now, almost rhythmic, like a heartbeat.
01:44I told myself it was pipes, maybe a furnace in the basement.
01:48But this building didn't have a basement.
01:50At least, that's what the landlord said.
01:52I grabbed my phone, turned on the flashlight, and scanned the room.
01:56Nothing.
01:57Just my thrift store furniture and unpacked boxes.
02:00The hum grew louder, and for a split second, I swore I heard a voice woven into it.
02:06A faint, garbled whisper, like someone speaking underwater.
02:10I didn't sleep.
02:11By morning, the sound was gone, but my nerves were shot.
02:15I checked the apartment, looking for vents or cracks where the noise might have come from.
02:20The floorboards were solid, no gaps.
02:22The walls, though, had those stains, fainter in daylight, but still there, like bruises under the paint.
02:29I called the landlord, but he didn't answer.
02:32Typical.
02:32I left a voicemail, asking about the noise, and went to work at the diner down the street, trying to shake the unease.
02:40At the diner, I mentioned the hum to my co-worker, Jess, a chain-smoking woman in her 40s who'd lived in town her whole life.
02:47She froze mid-pour, coffee splashing on the counter.
02:51You hear it too?
02:52She asked, her voice low.
02:54I nodded, expecting her to laugh it off.
02:57Instead, she leaned closer, her breath sour with nicotine.
03:01Don't mess with it.
03:03Folks around here, they say this town's built on something bad.
03:06Old mines, collapsed tunnels.
03:08Things down there don't like being disturbed.
03:10Her eyes darted to the window, like she expected something to be watching.
03:15I pressed her for details, but she clammed up, muttering about customers waiting.
03:20That night, the hum returned, louder.
03:23It wasn't just under the floor now.
03:24It vibrated through the walls, the air in my bones.
03:28I tried to ignore it, blasting music through my headphones, but it cut through, relentless.
03:34Around 2 a.m., I noticed something new.
03:37A smell, faint at first, like damp earth and decay.
03:40It grew stronger, seeping from the corner of my bedroom, where the stains were darkest.
03:46I knelt by the wall, sniffing like an idiot, and saw it, a hairline crack, barely visible, running vertically from floor to ceiling.
03:55I touched it, and the plaster felt soft, almost wet.
03:59The hum spiked, and I yanked my hand back, heart hammering.
04:03Something was wrong with this place.
04:05Really wrong.
04:06The next day, I bought a crowbar from the hardware store.
04:09If the landlord wouldn't answer, I'd figure this out myself.
04:13Back home, I pried at the baseboard near the crack.
04:16The wood splintered easily, revealing a patch of concrete beneath.
04:20But it wasn't normal concrete.
04:22It was uneven, pockmarked, and streaked with dark, oily stains.
04:27The hum was louder here, almost deafening, and the smell hit me like a punch.
04:32Rot, thick and cloying, like something long dead.
04:35I dug further, pulling up more floorboards, and found a metal plate, rusted but solid, embedded in the concrete.
04:43It was about two feet square, with no handle, no markings, just a faint etched symbol in the center, like a spiral with jagged edges.
04:52I should have stopped.
04:53Every instinct screamed to walk away, to move out, to burn the lease, and never look back.
04:59But I couldn't.
05:00The hum was in my head now, pulling me toward that plate.
05:03I grabbed a hammer and chisel from my toolbox, and started chipping at the concrete around it.
05:09Hours passed, my arms aching, sweat mixing with the stench.
05:14Finally, the plate loosened.
05:16I wedged the crowbar under it, and heaved.
05:18It popped free with a sickening screech, revealing a hole.
05:22Not a basement, not a crawlspace, just a black, yawning void.
05:26The hum roared now, a deep, primal drone that made my vision blur.
05:32I shoved my flashlight down, but the beam caught nothing.
05:35The hole seemed to swallow light itself.
05:38I don't know why I did it.
05:39Maybe it was the hum, or maybe I'm just stupid.
05:41But I tied a rope to my bed frame, secured it around my waist, and lowered myself into the hole.
05:48The air was cold, damp, and heavy with that rotting smell.
05:51My flashlight flickered as I descended, the walls slick with something slimy.
05:56About ten feet down, my feet hit solid ground.
06:00I was in a tunnel, narrow and rough-hewn, stretching into darkness in both directions.
06:05The hum was everywhere now, vibrating through the stone, through me.
06:11I took a step forward, and my shoe crunched on something.
06:14I looked down, a small, brittle bone, human-looking, half-buried in the dirt.
06:19Panic clawed at me, but I couldn't climb back up yet.
06:22The hum was pulling me forward, like a hook in my chest.
06:25I walked, the tunnel sloping downward, the air growing colder.
06:30The walls were carved with symbols, spirals like the one on the metal plate,
06:34but larger, deeper, some smeared with what looked like dry blood.
06:39I found more bones, fingers, ribs, a skull with a jagged hole in it.
06:44My flashlight started to fail, flickering wildly, and in the strobing light, I saw something
06:50move ahead, a shadow, too tall, too thin, and slipping around a bend.
06:56I froze, my breath loud in the silence.
07:00The hum stopped.
07:01For a moment, there was nothing but my heartbeat.
07:04Then a whisper, not from the tunnel, but inside my head.
07:07You found us, it said, low and rasping, like gravel dragged across glass.
07:14I turned to run, but my rope snagged.
07:17I yanked at it, desperate, and heard a snap.
07:20The rope had come loose.
07:21I was trapped.
07:23The shadow moved again, closer now, its shape wrong.
07:27Limbs too long, head too small, jerking like a puppet with cut strings.
07:31I bolted, flashlight dying, plunging me into darkness.
07:35I ran blind, scraping against the walls, tripping over bones.
07:40The whisper grew louder, joined by others, overlapping, chanting words I couldn't understand.
07:46My hands found a ladder, rusted, cold metal.
07:50I climbed, sobbing, until I hit another metal plate.
07:54I pounded on it, screaming, and it gave way, dumping me into a basement I hadn't known existed.
08:00I scrambled out, slamming the plate shut, and ran to my apartment, locking every door.
08:06I didn't sleep for days.
08:08The hum was gone, but the silence was worse.
08:11I called Jess, told her everything.
08:13She didn't laugh.
08:14Get out, she said.
08:16That place, it's not right.
08:17People used to work in those mines, back in the twenties.
08:20They'd go down and never come up.
08:22The company sealed the tunnels, said it was cave-ins.
08:25But folks around here, they knew.
08:27Something was down there.
08:29Something hungry.
08:30I wanted to leave, but I couldn't afford to.
08:33I nailed the floorboards back down, covered the metal plate with a rug, and tried to pretend
08:37it never happened.
08:39But things got worse.
08:40The stains on the walls grew darker, spreading like ink blots.
08:44The smell never left, even with every window open.
08:48At night, I'd hear scratches under the floor, slow and deliberate, like nails on wood.
08:53Once, I woke to find my bedroom door open, though I'd locked it.
08:57Footprints, bare, too large, smeared with dirt, led from the door to the rug over the
09:03metal plate.
09:04I started researching the building.
09:05Old newspaper articles from the library talked about the town's mining days.
09:10In 1923, a collapse trapped 17 workers.
09:14The company didn't even try to dig them out, just sealed the shaft and moved on.
09:18Locals claimed the miners weren't dead, that they'd found something in the tunnels.
09:22Something they started worshipping.
09:25There were stories of disappearances, of people hearing voices from the ground, of shadows
09:30seen in the mines before they were closed.
09:33One article mentioned a cult, a group that believed the earth held guardians that demanded
09:37offerings.
09:38They'd been run out of town, but not before leaving behind symbols, spirals, etched in stone.
09:45I couldn't stay.
09:46I broke my lease, packed my car, and moved in with a friend across town.
09:50But the hum followed me.
09:52Not loud, but there in quiet moments, buzzing in my head.
09:56I'd see the spiral symbol everywhere.
09:58Scratched into bus seats.
10:00Painted on walls.
10:01Even in my dreams.
10:03And the shadow.
10:04I'd catch glimpses of it.
10:06Always at the edge of my vision.
10:07Always gone when I turned.
10:09Hey!
10:10If you're gripped by this story, do me a favor.
10:13Smash that like button and hit subscribe.
10:14It helps keep these creepy tales coming.
10:17And trust me, it gets wilder from here.
10:20Let's die back in.
10:21Six months later, I thought I'd escaped.
10:23I had a new job.
10:25A new place.
10:26A new life.
10:27But the hum never left.
10:28It was faint like a distant radio signal.
10:31But it was always there.
10:32I started having nightmares.
10:34Vivid.
10:35Suffocating once.
10:37I'd be back in the tunnel.
10:38The shadow looming over me.
10:40Its face a void.
10:42Its voice whispering my name.
10:43I'd wake up sweating.
10:45My room smelling of damp earth.
10:47Once, I found dirt under my fingernails.
10:49Though I hadn't been outside.
10:51I went back to the library.
10:52Digging deeper.
10:54I found a journal.
10:55Tucked away in the archives.
10:57Written by a miner named Elias Hart.
10:59In 1922.
11:00His entries started normal.
11:02Work logs.
11:03Complaints about the cold.
11:04But they changed.
11:06He wrote about the hollow.
11:08A chamber deep in the mine where the air fell alive.
11:11He described voices.
11:12Not human.
11:14Promising power.
11:15Knowledge.
11:16Eternity.
11:17The last entry was a single line.
11:19They want us to join them.
11:21They want us all.
11:22I tracked down a landlord.
11:23He was holed up in a trailer on the edge of town.
11:26Drunk and paranoid.
11:27When I mentioned the apartment.
11:29He laughed.
11:29A bitter, broken sound.
11:31You found it, didn't you?
11:32He said.
11:33The plate.
11:34The hole.
11:35I told him not to rent that unit.
11:37But money's money.
11:38He admitted the building was built over a sealed mine shaft.
11:42The company had lied about the collapse.
11:44There was no cave-in.
11:46The miners had refused to come up.
11:48Chanting in the dark.
11:49Carving spirals into the walls.
11:52The company sealed them in a live to stop whatever they'd started.
11:55I didn't want to believe it.
11:56But the evidence was piling up.
11:58The hum.
11:59The shadow.
12:00The symbols.
12:01They weren't random.
12:02Something was still down there.
12:04And it had seen me.
12:05I started noticing people watching me.
12:07Strangers with blank faces.
12:09Standing too still.
12:11And their eyes locked on me.
12:12Once at a gas station.
12:14A woman approached me.
12:15Her smile too wide.
12:17You've seen the hollow.
12:18She said.
12:19Then walked away before I could respond.
12:22Last week.
12:23I went back to the apartment building.
12:24I don't know why.
12:26Maybe I needed closure.
12:27Or maybe it was the hum.
12:29Pulling me back.
12:30The place was condemned now.
12:32Windows boarded.
12:33Walls tagged with graffiti.
12:35But one tag stood out.
12:37A spiral.
12:38Fresh and black.
12:39Painted over my old unit's door.
12:41I broke in.
12:42Heart pounding.
12:43The apartment was empty.
12:44The rug gone.
12:45The metal plate exposed.
12:47It was open.
12:48Just a crack.
12:49And the hum poured out.
12:51Louder than ever.
12:52I didn't look inside.
12:53I couldn't.
12:54But I heard it.
12:55A whisper.
12:56My name.
12:57Over and over.
12:58I ran.
12:59But it's not over.
13:00The hum is louder now.
13:01Even miles away.
13:03The shadow is closer.
13:04Slipping into my peripheral vision.
13:06Standing at the foot of my bed in the dark.
13:09I've started carving spirals.
13:11On paper.
13:12On my desk.
13:13On my skin.
13:14I don't know why.
13:15It feels right.
13:16Like it's what I'm supposed to do.
13:17Last night.
13:18I woke to find my bedroom floor covered in dirt.
13:21A spiral drawn in it.
13:23Pointing to my door.
13:24I don't think I can outrun this.
13:26The hollow wants me.
13:27It wants you to.
13:28If you hear the hum.
13:30If you see the spiral.
13:31Don't follow it.
13:32Don't look.
13:33Because once you do.
13:34It knows you.
13:35And it doesn't let go.
