00:00In the quiet, fog-choked town of Black Hollow, people whispered of many strange things, old houses with eyes in their walls, streets that ended in places not marked on any map.
00:14But of all the unsettling stories, none was more feared than that of Elias Cain, the man who spoke to shadows. He lived in a house older than memory, perched at the edge of town, where the road ended abruptly in a crumbling stone wall.
00:33The curtains were always drawn, the doors always locked. Yet, at night, if you dared to pass by, you would see him standing alone, speaking softly into the darkness, as though it answered back.
00:48No one knew when Elias arrived in Black Hollow. Some said he had always been there, living quietly, aging slowly. Others believed he came after the accident, though no one could agree on what that was.
01:06But all agreed his house was wrong. Even in daylight, shadows clung to its walls, as if unwilling to let go.
01:16Children dared each other to knock on his door, but none lasted longer than a few seconds before running away.
01:24One boy swore he saw something reach out from under the door, a hand made of black smoke.
01:31Elias worked nights at the library. No one liked closing shifts with him, not because he was cruel, but because strange things happened when he was there.
01:43Books would fall, without reason. Lights would flicker. The shadows between the shelves moved when you weren't looking.
01:51He wasn't an unkind man, but his eyes carried a heaviness, as if they had seen too much.
01:58Then one evening, Daniel Harker disappeared. He was twelve, last seen carrying groceries home.
02:06His route took him past Elias Kane's house. The police searched for days.
02:12The only thing they found was a black smear on the pavement near the front gate.
02:18It was cold to the touch, and seemed to drink in the light.
02:22After that, people locked their doors before sunset, and parents told their children to take the long way home.
02:32But disappearances continued, always at night, always near deep shadows.
02:38Marla Jennings, a journalist from the city, came to investigate.
02:42She laughed off the stories, as rural superstition, until she met Elias.
02:48He opened the door, before she could knock, as though expecting her.
02:53Inside, the curtains were drawn, and a single oil lamp lit the room, yet the shadows were thick, and almost alive.
03:02Elias told her,
03:04They're not mine, they just found me.
03:06He explained, that decades ago, he had been walking home late, through a narrow alley,
03:12when the darkness there, seemed heavier than usual.
03:16A voice spoke to him, not aloud, but inside his mind.
03:21It offered comfort, companionship, knowledge, and only asked for a small piece of him in return.
03:28He thought it was a dream, but the voice came back, and the shadows began to follow him home.
03:35They showed him things no human should see, and over time, they began to hunger, not for him, but for others.
03:43Marla's skepticism faded, as she listened.
03:47Something moved in the corner, like a ripple in water.
03:51She tried to tell herself it was a trick of the light, but then she saw a pale face emerge from the darkness.
03:59Mouth open, in a silent scream, before melting back, into the wall.
04:05Elias told her,
04:06Once they touch you, you're theirs.
04:09They'll wait, sometimes for years, but they never forget.
04:13She left that night, but the streets felt wrong.
04:17Shadows stretched toward her feet, and every corner seemed to watch her.
04:23In the days that followed, she began to hear her name whispered when she was alone.
04:28At first it was faint, then louder, and sometimes she saw shapes crawling across her walls.
04:36She returned to Elias' house for answers, but the windows were boarded, and the door locked.
04:43Neighbors said he had left in the night.
04:46No one saw him go.
04:48Some say Elias still wanders, speaking to shadows, in other towns.
04:53If you ever hear someone whisper your name from the darkness, do not turn, do not answer, and never, ever follow.
