This is Case File #0002. The recording you are about to hear is... well, it's something different. Not a bodycam, not a professional recording, but a standard microcassette I found in a box of old office supplies from a car boot sale. The label just says "Home."

It's an answering machine tape. A time capsule of domestic life from the late 1990s, full of the everyday messages we all used to leave. But... it also recorded something else.

You will hear the tape in its entirety. You will hear the mundane calls from family... and then... the other calls. The static. You will hear the homeowner, Sarah, as her terror escalates in real-time, captured live by the machine.

I'm presenting this recording exactly as I found it. Listen closely to the progression. Listen to what happens when the static stops... and the voice gets through.
