๐ŸŽ™๏ธ WHAT HAPPENS:

Jessica's call starts as a strange experience, missing time, a faceless figure, temporal anomaly. But when Vince calls back, the horror escalates. The entity speaks through her. Then the REAL Jessica breaks through, she's still there, still drowning, trapped for three decades. The Coast Guard confirms: Jessica drowned in 1996. She's been calling from the water ever since. How many other callers are already dead?


This is the episode where Vince realizes the calls aren't just stories. They're distress signals from the drowned.

The Reflection

Episode 9 of 14


๐ŸŽ™๏ธ WHAT HAPPENS:

Eleanor Pritchard is seventy-three years old. She's been listening to WYAL-FM for eleven years. Every night. Without exception.


Her husband Harold passed in 1988. Since then, Vince's voice has been her company. Her routine. Her comfort in the dark hours when sleep won't come.


She's never called before. But three nights ago, something happened that she can't explain. Something she needs Vince to know about.


Eleanor's call is deeply personal horror. An elderly widow whose one source of comfort, Vince's nightly broadcasts has been weaponized against her. The entity broadcasting from the lighthouse knows everything about her. It can describe her life in perfect detail. It opened her door. Left wet footprints. And it will return.


This is the episode where Vince decides to ascend. To see what's in the transmitter room. To confront what's been using his voice.


โฑ๏ธ RUNTIME: 6 minutes, 38 seconds


โš ๏ธ CONTENT WARNING: Home invasion themes, stalking, surveillance, elderly person in danger, gaslighting, isolation, loss of safe spaces

Episode 8 of 14

Father Thomas Michaels has been a priest at St. Catherine's Parish for thirty years. He's heard thousands of confessions. Baptized children. Buried the dead. Counseled the grieving.


But for the past three weeks, he's been hearing something that terrifies him.


๐ŸŽ™๏ธ WHAT HAPPENS:

Father Michaels brings theological weight to the cosmic horror. Forty-three people sharing the same prophetic dream.



โฑ๏ธ RUNTIME: 8 minutes, 6 seconds

Marked by the Signal

Episode 7 of 14


๐ŸŽ™๏ธ WHAT HAPPENS:


Before taking the next call, Vince finds something in the engineering cabinet. Logs. Entries going back months. His signature is on them, but he doesn't remember writing any of it.

Vince discovers engineering logs revealing months of strange behavior he doesn't remember. Carl's call introduces the rogue signal, a beacon that's been marking listeners with their names, spoken in Vince's voice. The horror escalates: Vince's voice is broadcasting things he's not saying. The signal is alive. It's aware. And it knows who's listening.


This is the episode where the scope expands. This isn't just about the lighthouse. Everyone who's tuned in has been marked.

Nina Costa is a nurse at Mercy Hospital. She's exhausted. She's been working double shifts. And she needs someone to confirm she's not losing her mind.


Nina's call is exhausted, desperate, confused. She's a medical professional trying to make sense of something impossible. A patient who repeats a message about tonight's broadcast. A newspaper from the future that's somehow decades old. The loop is beginning to close. Time is fracturing. And someone from the futureโ€”or the pastโ€”is trying to warn Vince.


The chronology is breaking down.
