The Radish Man -- TAPE 19

Through a series of chilling recordings, police reports, and lost audio logs -- sent anonymously to an Investigative Reporter -- "The Radish Man" unfolds as a found-footage horror mystery, documenting one man’s descent into madness as he fights to save his family from an unstoppable terror. But the deeper he digs, the more the truth becomes clear: no one escapes The Radish Man. No one ever has.

There's gotta be something that I'm missing. Something that escaped me the first time I was out here. And although rationality is screaming, why the fuck am I doing this? Everything else tells me that I have no choice. Things are getting worse.

I mean if you if you can believe that. We're all we're seeing things now. Shadow figures, orbs of light in our peripheral. Electronics turn off and on, doors open and shut. There are there are voices. Whispers in the dark. It's like we're being haunted. But the thing is that this isn't a ghost or a spirit. This is different. We know this is different. While all these other phenomena are piggybacking onto this thing, I I I don't I don't know. Sitchels in the trees now. I don't know. Maybe the veil has thinned because of our proximity. Maybe it's because we know its name. What is this? I don't know. Maybe it's because he he threw a rock at it. I d I don't know, honestly. I just I don't know. Man, like I I love this genre. I love this genre of fiction, but it it's fiction. What are you? Not this. This is this is real life. What are you? Film, movies like like poltergeist, shows like the like the X-File.

Help. I know its fucking name. I get it. But what is it? Right like what is this? My gravesite. Like what what is this? Because there are no rules here. And and for this? Whatever this is, like fuck the movies. Because in our experience, daylight is just as fucking scary as night. Trust me. Doesn't matter if the sun is shining. It still comes.
