00:00I'm not scared of the dark. I'm scared of what hides in it. It's become a ritual for me,
00:06you know. Every single night, before I even think about sleep, I check my security feed.
00:13Just a quick glance on my phone to make sure everything's locked down and quiet.
00:17Tonight was no different. I pulled up the app, and the camera feed from the hallway was perfect.
00:24Crystal clear. An empty hall, the familiar shadow of the coat rack and nothing unusual.
00:30But then my blood ran cold. My eyes were glued to the screen, but in the reflection,
00:35I saw it. A figure. Standing directly behind me in the live camera view on my phone.
00:41Watching me watch the screen, it was perfectly still. A dark silhouette against the glow.
00:47And then I heard its whisper, not from the phone, but from right behind my ear. It was too late.
