[VIDEO TRANSCRIPT – URBAN EXPLORER’S FINAL LIVE STREAM]

USER: @GhostHunterJake

LOCATION: Blackwood Asylum (abandoned psychiatric hospital)

DATE: October 30, 2023

TIME: 11:47 PM

[LIVE STREAM BEGINS – 1,243 VIEWERS]

(Jake’s face appears, illuminated by his flashlight. The camera flickers occasionally, picking up static.)

JAKE (whispering): "Yo, guys, we’re inside Blackwood Asylum. This place shut down in 1983 after some messed-up experiments. Locals say you can still hear patients screaming at night. Chat, let me know if you see anything weird."

(He pans the camera down a decaying hallway. Graffiti covers the walls—names, pleas for help, and strange symbols. A distant thud echoes.)

JAKE (nervous chuckle): "Probably just the wind… or rats. Big rats."

(The chat scrolls fast—viewers spotting shadowy figures in the corners. Jake ignores them, pushing deeper into the asylum.)

JAKE: "Check this out—patient records. Some of these files are redacted… Wait, this one just says ‘Subject 12: Do Not Open.’"

(He flips it open. The page is covered in frantic handwriting: "THEY’RE NOT PATIENTS. THEY NEVER WERE.")

(A loud bang comes from down the hall. Jake jumps.)

JAKE: "Okay, that wasn’t me. Chat, should I leave? Poll up now—STAY or GO?"

(The poll votes 87% STAY. Jake exhales.)

JAKE: "Alright, one more room."

(He enters a padded cell. The walls are scratched raw. A child’s voice suddenly giggles from nowhere. The camera distorts.)

VIEWER COMMENT: "DUDE SOMETHING JUST MOVED BEHIND YOU"

(Jake spins—nothing there. Then, a whisper right into the mic:)

UNKNOWN VOICE: "Jake… we’ve been waiting."

(Silence. The camera glitches, showing a pale figure standing behind him—then cuts to static.)

[LIVE STREAM DISCONNECTED]

[FOOTAGE RECOVERED – 12:03 AM]

(The camera turns back on, lying on the floor. Jake is gone. Heavy breathing fills the audio. The lens is smeared with something dark. A hand drags across the floor just out of frame. Then, a final whisper:)

UNKNOWN VOICE: "You’re next."

(The feed cuts permanently.)

[POST-STREAM UPDATE]

Jake’s phone was found the next morning at Blackwood’s entrance. The battery was drained, the screen cracked. His last search history:

"How to survive a demonic attachment"

"Why do spirits mimic children’s voices?"

"Subject 12 Blackwood Asylum"

His body was never recovered.

Police marked the case "unsolved." Urban explorers swear they still see his figure in asylum windows… watching, waiting for the next visitor.

DON’T GO ALONE.

The Last Broadcast: The Return of Subject 12

[VIDEO TRANSCRIPT – USER @ParanormalAmy’S LIVE STREAM]
USER: @ParanormalAmy
LOCATION: Blackwood Asylum (same as @GhostHunterJake’s disappearance)
DATE: November 15, 2023
TIME: 11:58 PM

[LIVE STREAM BEGINS – 5,892 VIEWERS]

(Amy’s face is tense, her flashlight shaking slightly. The chat is already exploding with mentions of Jake.)

AMY: "Guys, I know what happened to Jake. I found his backpack near the asylum’s boiler room. Inside was this…"

(She holds up a small tape recorder. The moment she presses play, a distorted voice whispers:)

JAKE’S VOICE (recorded, frantic): "Subject 12 isn’t a patient—it’s something they made. It mimics voices. It wants more."

(A loud screech cuts the recording off. The chat floods with "OMG" and "GET OUT NOW.")

AMY: "I also found this."

(She unfolds a yellowed patient intake form. At the top: "SUBJECT 12: PATIENT ZERO – DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE." The rest is blacked out… except for a single line at the bottom:)

"If you hear it laughing… it’s already in your head."

(Silence. Then—a faint giggle from somewhere down the hall. Amy freezes.)

AMY (whispering): "That wasn’t me."

(The camera flickers. For half a second, a gaunt figure stands at the end of the hallway—too tall, limbs too long. Then it’s gone.)

VIEWER COMMENT: "AMY TURN AROUND HOLY—"

(She spins. The door behind her slams shut. The giggle comes again—closer.)

AMY (panicking): "Chat, I need help—what do I—"

(The flashlight dies. The camera’s night vision kicks in, casting everything in eerie green. A shadow crawls along the ceiling. The giggle turns into a wet, choking sound.)

UNKNOWN VOICE (mimicking Jake): "Amy… we missed you."

(A hand snatches the camera. The last thing captured is Amy’s scream—cut off* by a sound like bones snapping.)*

[LIVE STREAM DISCONNECTED]

[FOOTAGE RECOVERED – 12:17 AM]
(The camera is found in the asylum’s courtyard, still recording. Amy is nowhere. The lens is cracked, smeared with something dark. The audio picks up ragged breathing—then a new voice, barely human:)

SUBJECT 12 (distorted, multi-layered): "More… viewers… next."

(The feed cuts to static. But in the final frame—a reflection in the lens—something smiles.)

[POST-STREAM UPDATE]
Police found Amy’s phone still broadcasting in the courtyard. Her last search:

"How to unsee something"

"Subject 12 patient zero experiments"

"Why is it copying Jake’s voice?"

Her social media accounts updated 3 hours after her disappearance. A single post:

@ParanormalAmy: "I’m still here. Come find me. 😊" (Attached: a photo of Blackwood’s entrance… with a shadowy figure waving from the doorway.)

Urban explorers have reported hearing two voices now—Jake’s and Amy’s—luring people deeper into the asylum.

WARNING: Authorities have sealed Blackwood Asylum. Anyone caught trespassing will be prosecuted.
