  Speaker 1: I always loved the quiet of the night shift to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Dunkin Donuts. The place transformed after midnight, the usual hustle
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and bustle giving way to a serene calm at forty two.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I appreciated these peaceful hours. It gave me time to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: think to unwind. So when weird customers dropped unannounced amidst
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: my break, I used to get really pissed, And this
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: one time I got really pissed, which kind of backfired
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: on me. I was about to close the place when
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the bell above the door jingled. I looked up to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: see a gaunt, disheveled man enter. His clothes hung loosely
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: on his thin frame, and his eyes darted around the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: shop with a nervous energy. He approached the counter, his
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: lips twitching into an uneasy smile. From that very moment,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I got creeps. Welcome to Dunkin Donuts when you want.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I was so tired that I didn't even try to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: sound nice. The man stared at me blankly for a minute,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: straight ahead, then asked what should I have. It sounded
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: so idiotic that I lost it. Decide for yourself. I'm
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: not your dad, I answered rudely. Is left twitched with
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that reply, and then finally he asked for a coffee
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in a plane donut. As I prepared the order, I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: could feel his eyes boring into my back. It was unsettling,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: but I brushed it off, attributing it to the late
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: hour and the stranger's odd demeanor. I placed the coffee
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and doughnut on the counter. Here you go, I said,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: offering a nod. He grabbed the items without a word
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and shuffled towards the seating area. As I turned back
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to the counter, I heard a noise behind me, a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: strange shuffling sound. I spun around, and my heart nearly stopped.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The man was on all fours, sitting like a dog,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: with a maniac grin plastered across his face.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I didn't kill him, the.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Man wailed, his voice echoing through the empty shop.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: My blood ran cold.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: As the man I produced a knife from his coat pocket,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: waving it erratically. I scrambled to the back of the shop,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: my mind racing. The man began to crawl, dragging himself
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: forward with a terrifying determination. I bolted out the back door,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: my breath coming in ragged gasps. I glanced over my
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: shoulder and saw the man still crawling, the knife glinting
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in the dim light. I ran to my car, fumbling
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: for my keys. I managed to get inside and lock
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the doors. Just as he reached the vehicle, he slammed
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: his head against the car's windows, the knife clunking against
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the glass.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't kill him, he screamed, his eyes wild with desperation.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: My hands shook as I tried to start the car,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but it wouldn't turn over. The fuel gauge read empty.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Just my rotten luck. Panics surged through me. I reached
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: from my phone and dialed nine to one one, my
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: fingers trembling. There's a man with a knife trying to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: kill me, I gasped, Humma, Duncan Donuts three two.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Four Main Street, Please hurry.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I dropped the phone and slumped back into my seat,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: watching in horror as the man continued to assault the car.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The knife scratched the glass, the sound grating on my nerves.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't kill the man kept repeating, his voice growing
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: more frantic.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: My vision blurred and the world started to spin.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: The last thing I saw before I blacked out was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: his crazed eye staring into mine. When I returned to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: my senses. I was surrounded by a flashing lights of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: police cars. Officers were milling around, and paramedics were checking
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: my vitals. I sat up, my head pounding and looking around.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: The creepy man was in handcuffs, being led away by
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: two officers.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: He was still muttering I didn't kill him.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: A detective approached me. Are you okay, he asked, with
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: concern in his voice. I nodded, still trying to process
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what had happened. What's along with him?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Who? Who is he?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I managed to ask. His name is Andrew Smith. He
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: has a history of severe mental illness. We did some
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: digging and found out he had a traumatic past. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: listened as the detective recounted Andrew's story. When Andrew was ten,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: he had a younger brother who was just two years old.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: One day, Andrew took his brother out to play and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a car hit the little boy, killing him instantly. The
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: accident left Andrew shattered. His father blamed him for the tragedy,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: subjecting him to years of abuse and neglect before abandoning
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: him altogether.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Since then, Andrew had been in and.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Out of psychiatric facilities, haunted by the memory of his
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: brother's death. He's reliving the trauma, the detective explained. He
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: didn't kill his brother, but in his mind, he's been
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: trying to atone for it ever since tonight, he snapped.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I shuddered, the horror of the night settling over me.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I glanced over at Anne, sitting in the back of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a police car, rocking back and forth. Who will he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: get help, I asked, my voice barely a whisper. The
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: detective nodded, will make sure he does. He's not evil,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just broken. As the paramedics helped me to my feet,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I couldn't stop but feel bad for Andrew. The daunting
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: realization that me being rude to Andrew by mentioning his
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: dad must have triggered his old traumas, hence he reacted
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the way he did. I hope Andrew's getting the help
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he needs. The night shift at dunkin Donuts would never
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: feel the same, But I request everyone watching this please
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be nice to strangers, because you might not know what
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: storms that person's fighting inside. Moving into a new house
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is always a bit unsettling, but our new place was
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: next to an abandoned dunkin Donuts which had burned down
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: almost a decade ago, which was infamous for being haunted,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: adding an extra layer of eeriness. My wife Lisa and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I had just settled into our routine when suddenly one
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: morning I found a box of donuts placed before my door.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It had no label nor any mention of the sender.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I found it weird. Lisa had a watery mouth when
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I brought it in, but I have a strict policy
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of not accepting food from strangers, so I threw it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in the bin despite her protest.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Then it became a ritual.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Every morning, a fresh box of a dozen donuts would
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: be sitting on our doorstep. At first I thought it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was a friendly gesture from the neighbors, but when I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: brought it up, they simply had no idea. I kept
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: throwing the boxes away, but the donuts kept arriving. Growing frustrated,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I even installed a camera to catch the culprit, but
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the footage showed nothing. One moment, the porch was empty,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the next a box of donuts appeared, as if by magic. Lisa,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we need to find out who's doing this. It's starting
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to get weird. Lisa just laughed. She loved donuts, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to her it seemed like a harmless Miss.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe whoever is being benevolent will stop once we actually
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: eat it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: No food from strangers.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: These pranksters will mix in laxatives to get reaction pranks
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: on YouTube.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I don't trust them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But then one morning, as I entered the kitchen, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: caught her sneaking a doughnut from the box. She smiled,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: powdered sugar on her.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Lips, relaxed, John, They're just donuts.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That was the night things took a turn for the worse.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I woke up to the sound of knocking on the windows.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: At first I thought it was just the wind, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the knocking was rhythmic. Three knocks, a pause, then two knocks.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I got up to check but found nothing. As I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: laid back down, I heard footsteps in the hallway, followed
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: by a soft, eerie bell sound. It sounded like those
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: bells you see at a hotel reception. Lisa, did you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: hear that? She mumbled in her sleep, turning away from me.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I felt a chill run down my spine. Over the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: next few days, the sturbances became more frequent. The knocking,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the footsteps, the bell. It was like we were living
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in a nightmare. Lisa started acting strange. She was distant,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: often staring blankly at the wall. One night I found
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: her in the kitchen, standing perfectly still, clutching a knife. Lisa,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? And out of nowhere, the same
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: bell sound came.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Suddenly.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: She turned to me, her eyes vacant, then suddenly lunched.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I barely managed to avoid the blades, stumbling backwards. After
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: then she ran at me like a madness had taken
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: over her. She chased me through the house, her movements
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: jerky and unnatural, stopping growling to herself, and then chasing again.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: But as soon as I reached the front door and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: threw it open, she stopped abruptly, her neck twisted and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: just looking at the abandoned dunkin Donuts restaurant.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Lisa, what's happening to you? She didn't respond.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Instead, she began walking slowly towards the burnt out building.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I followed her, keeping a safe distance. By this time,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: some people from the neighborhood started coming out of their houses.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: An old man approached me. I don't know if you
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: know this, sun, but something is wrong with that place.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It burned down ten years ago, killed six men. Lisa
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: continued her slow march to the building, oblivious to everything
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: around her. She reached the entrance, which was nothing more
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: than a charred frame, and walked inside, stepping over the rubble,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: heading straight for the old counter. I ran after her,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: yelling out her name. She stopped, bent down and picked
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: something up from the debris.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Lisa, please.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: She emerged with a small, tarnished bell, the kind you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: find at a hotel lobby. She placed it on the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: old counter, kept looking at it like stuck in a delusion,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and then ring, ring, ring. I felt a deep, cold
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: fear grip my heart. I called nine one one, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: by the time help arrived, Lisa was still standing there,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: ringing the bell, her face a blank mask. They had
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to sedate her to get her to the hospital. Lisa
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was later admitted to a mental health facility. It's been
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: two years now and she hasn't opened her eyes since.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I wish she hadn't eaten those donuts that day. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: don't know how, but somehow that is what led to everything.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'd never seen anything quite like her. It was a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night, a dead shift at Dunkin Donuts, and I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was stuck closing up. My name is Melania, and I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: had worked at that place for two years. The hours
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: were long, the pay was crap, but it was a job.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: That night, the usual routine of working like a zombie
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: took a turn because.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Of a strange woman.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: She sat in the corner booth alone, a strange looking woman,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: wrapped in a scarf, wearing sunglasses. Despite the late hour,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it was nearly midnight, and she had been there for hours,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: ordering large coke after large coke, eleven in total.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Who drinks that much soda?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: There was a basket which she had placed on the table,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: covered completely with small holes to the side. Something about
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: her felt off. As the hours passed. I approached her cautiously,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: my nerves on.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Edge, ma'am or clothing.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Soon she looked up, her face hidden behind those dark glasses,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and set I.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Will be dead when the clock strikes twelve. But first
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I need to tell you three secrets. Are you okay?
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Do you need help?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: She ignored my questions instead, continuing her voice a flat monotone.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Tonight I seduced and murdered a congressman.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: My breath caught in my throat.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: She leaned in closer, her presence almost suffocating.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Congressman Harold Green.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I approached him at the hotel bar, charmed him with
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: lies and promises.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: He never suspected a thing.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: We went up to his room, and while he poured
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: us drings, I injected him with a poison derived from
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: a plant native to my homeland.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: It was painless. He didn't even see it coming.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I felt a chill run down my spine.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: She smiled, a cruel twist of her lips, visible beneath
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the scarf.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I had to do it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: He was too close bringing in a policy which would
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: upset the status quo between my people and yours.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: We couldn't allow that your.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: People, I echoed, in disbelief.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: She removed her sunglasses, revealing eyes that were not human, large,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: black and reflective.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: As you can see. I am not lying.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: My race has been cooperating with your government for decades.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Push your knowledge technology, then get some things in return.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: But Graham was going to do something. He had to
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: be stopped.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I stepped back, my legs, trembling.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: This is insane. You're crazy.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: She stood up, towering over me, and I realized just
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: how small I was compared to her.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Believe what you will, but know this, there are more
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: like me watching waiting.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: She looked at the clock on the wall, ticking towards
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: mid night, then turned to me with those other worldly eyes,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and for the first time I saw something almost.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Like regret the third secret.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: She began, but a strange sound cut her off, a low,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: humming vibration that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: She froze, her body stiffening like a statue. I reached out,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: my hand, shaking, and touched her arm.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: She was cold, unresponsive.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Then without warning, she turned and walked out of the diner,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: her movements almost robotic. I saw her get out and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: turned to the empty alley behind the diner, but suddenly,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a bright flash of light came out of nowhere and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: blinded me. I rushed out and ran to the back
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of the alley, but she was gone, vanished without a trace.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I returned to the diner, my heart pounding. Her basket
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: was still there. I knew I shouldn't, but I had
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to look carefully. I approached it, lifted the cover. Inside
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: were strange, translucent eggs, pulsing with an eerie glow.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: This is what lack of sleep does.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I reminded myself, wondering if I was just tired and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: imagining things that weren't there. Just then, the TV mounted
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in the corner of the diner flickered to life, a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: breaking news report cutting through the static. The anchor's voice
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: was grim. Congressman Harold Green has been found dead in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: his hotel room. At the moment, it appears that he
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: suffered a stroke while taking a bath. Authorities do not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: suspect any foul play. I left the basket, my hands
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: shaking uncontrollably. This couldn't be real. It had to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: some kind of sick joke, a nightmare. But the evidence
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: was there right in front of me, those eggs. The
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: news report her chilling confession. I went home that night,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: but sleep was impossible. Every time I closed my eyes
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: on her face, those black, strange, soullless eyes staring into mine,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I heard her voice, her final words, echoing in my mind.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: They are more like me, watching, waiting,
