- 0:02Speaker 1: I had just finished a long day of work and
- 0:04Speaker 1: decided to order food from my favorite sushi place. I
- 0:07Speaker 1: was still adjusting to life without Brock, my fiancee, who
- 0:10Speaker 1: passed away under mysterious circumstances six months ago. He was
- 0:15Speaker 1: stuck deep into ritualistic practices ever since he lost his
- 0:18Speaker 1: mom and seeked a way to contact her spirit. His
- 0:22Speaker 1: absence left avoid in my life that nothing could fill.
- 0:26Speaker 1: When the delivery guy arrived that night, he held onto the
- 0:29Speaker 1: bag for a moment longer than usual, staring at me
- 0:32Speaker 1: with an unsettling intensity. His eyes were dark and piercing,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and his demeanor made my skin crawl. He handed me
- 0:40Speaker 1: the bag and left without a word. As I closed
- 0:43Speaker 1: the door, a note fell out from the bag. It read,
- 0:46Speaker 1: Brock is alive. My heart raced, Could it be true?
- 0:51Speaker 1: I rushed outside, but the delivery guy had vanished into
- 0:54Speaker 1: the night. I felt a mixture of hope and dread.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I had to find out more. Over the next thirteen days,
- 1:01Speaker 1: I ordered the same meal from the same restaurant, hoping
- 1:05Speaker 1: to see that delivery guy again. Each night a different
- 1:09Speaker 1: person showed up at my door, and each night I
- 1:11Speaker 1: was left disappointed. On the thirteenth day, he finally arrived.
- 1:17Speaker 2: What did you mean when you said Brock is alive?
- 1:20Speaker 1: The delivery guy looked puzzled. I'm sorry, I don't know
- 1:24Speaker 1: what you're talking about. This is my first time delivering
- 1:27Speaker 1: to you.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Is this a joke, ma'am? I'm just here to deliver
- 1:30Speaker 2: your food. How do you know Brock?
- 1:33Speaker 1: I don't know any Brock. Look, miss, I'm not looking
- 1:37Speaker 1: for any trouble. The food is twelve fifty. I felt
- 1:40Speaker 1: a wave of confusion.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Was he lying?
- 1:43Speaker 1: He left, and I opened the food parcel to find
- 1:46Speaker 1: another note, Brock, can hear us? Please meet me under
- 1:50Speaker 1: the bridge on Mount Boulevard tomorrow evening. At six the
- 1:54Speaker 1: next evening, I stood under the bridge, feeling the cold
- 1:57Speaker 1: wind whipped through my hair. I waited for an hour,
- 2:00Speaker 1: but no one came. Disheartened, I returned home, but to
- 2:04Speaker 1: my shock, my apartment looked like it had been hit
- 2:07Speaker 1: by a hurricane. The wall art was gone, the TV missing,
- 2:12Speaker 1: litter everywhere, and my bedroom drawers were ransacked. I was
- 2:16Speaker 1: in a state of panic, and that is when I
- 2:19Speaker 1: put two and two together. The delivery guy was a scamster.
- 2:23Speaker 1: He probably looked up that I had lost my fiance
- 2:26Speaker 1: and planned the whole thing to get me out of
- 2:27Speaker 1: the house and ransack it. I called nine to one one,
- 2:31Speaker 1: my hands trembling as I dialed. Two cops arrived quickly.
- 2:36Speaker 1: They sat with me, calmed me down, and started talking
- 2:39Speaker 1: the details. They called another unit with the information, who
- 2:43Speaker 1: arrived and brought a news that shook us all. They
- 2:45Speaker 1: found a van in the parking lot of my building
- 2:48Speaker 1: containing all my stolen items. The thief hadn't left with
- 2:52Speaker 1: the loot. Damn, we might still have the thief inside.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Did you check all the rooms? No?
- 2:59Speaker 2: I never looked into the guest bedroom. The police barged
- 3:05Speaker 2: into the guest room.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I heard a gasp from one of the officers while
- 3:08Speaker 1: the other rushed out urgently and started speaking something on
- 3:11Speaker 1: his radio. I peeked in and saw the thief lying
- 3:15Speaker 1: dead on the floor, covered in blood and surrounded by
- 3:19Speaker 1: shards of glass.
- 3:20Speaker 2: What happened here? I was horrified.
- 3:24Speaker 1: The police looked at me with suspicion, but then they
- 3:26Speaker 1: noticed the mirror in the corner.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Written in blood were the words it was brock. I
- 3:32Speaker 2: was in shock.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Was his spirit somehow involved in all this? That night
- 3:37Speaker 1: I fell into a restless sleep at my sister's house
- 3:40Speaker 1: since my place was sealed, my mind swirling with fear
- 3:43Speaker 1: and confusion. All the pain which I had finally started
- 3:46Speaker 1: to avoid surfacing. But in my dream I saw Brock.
- 3:51Speaker 1: He looked just like he did before he died, handsome,
- 3:54Speaker 1: with a gentle smile that always made me feel safe.
- 3:57Speaker 2: He reached out to me, but before I could touch it,
- 4:00Speaker 2: he vanished.
- 4:01Speaker 1: When I woke up, I felt a strange sense of peace,
- 4:05Speaker 1: as if Brock had given me a message. I got
- 4:07Speaker 1: out of the bed and went to the bathroom, where
- 4:10Speaker 1: I saw a faint reflection of Brock in the mirror,
- 4:13Speaker 1: smiling at me. Tears streamed down my face as I
- 4:17Speaker 1: whispered to his reflection.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I miss you so much.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Brook. His reflection slowly faded, but the warmth in my
- 4:25Speaker 1: heart remained. I knew that Brock was somehow still with me,
- 4:29Speaker 1: protecting me. I didn't understand the supernatural events that had unfolded,
- 4:33Speaker 1: but I felt a deep connection to Brock's spirit. I've
- 4:40Speaker 1: been the manager of Harrow Apartments for over a decade.
- 4:43Speaker 1: The building, with its tarnished reputation, is known among delivery
- 4:47Speaker 1: drivers as a place where strange things often happen in
- 4:50Speaker 1: the elevator. Some call it haunted, others say it's curse.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Whatever it is, it's my job to keep things running smoothly,
- 4:58Speaker 1: or at least as smoothly as they can in a
- 5:00Speaker 1: place like this. The rumors started years ago, but the
- 5:04Speaker 1: incidents that cemented Harrow's infamy was hard to dismiss.
- 5:09Speaker 2: The first one was the most shocking.
- 5:11Speaker 1: A young delivery guy, maybe in his early twenties, entered
- 5:14Speaker 1: the elevator with a bag of food. The CCTV footage
- 5:18Speaker 1: showed him looking around nervously. As soon as the doors closed,
- 5:22Speaker 1: he seemed to hear something. Then his eyes widened and horror,
- 5:26Speaker 1: without warning, he burst into flames. Spontaneous combustion, they call it.
- 5:32Speaker 1: One moment he was there, the next gone in a blaze.
- 5:36Speaker 1: How does someone just burst into flames? The second incident
- 5:40Speaker 1: wasn't any easier to explain. Another delivery person, an older
- 5:44Speaker 1: man this time, entered the elevator.
- 5:47Speaker 2: The footage showed him clutching his chest.
- 5:49Speaker 1: As soon as the door shut, he stumbled, gasping for
- 5:52Speaker 1: air and collapsed a stroke. The doctor said, but the
- 5:56Speaker 1: timing was uncanny. Then there was a thought a woman
- 6:01Speaker 1: delivering groceries. She entered the elevator, and as soon as
- 6:04Speaker 1: the doors closed, she started screaming, her eyes fixed on
- 6:08Speaker 1: something invisible in the corner. She banged on the doors,
- 6:12Speaker 1: begging to be let out, then fell to the floor
- 6:15Speaker 1: dead from a heart attack. These incidents never happened to residence,
- 6:19Speaker 1: only to delivery people, and not every delivery person, just some.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And then came Bruce. Bruce was young and care free,
- 6:29Speaker 1: an extrovert. He'd give me a high five whenever he'd
- 6:32Speaker 1: be delivering to one of the residents. We had spoken
- 6:35Speaker 1: about the infamy of the elevators before, but Bruce was
- 6:38Speaker 1: one of those who didn't believe in the stories. Young
- 6:41Speaker 1: and brash, he dismissed the warnings as superstitions. It's just
- 6:45Speaker 1: an old building. Nothing's gonna happen to me. Unless the
- 6:48Speaker 1: elevator wiresnap. Then you'd go to jail, buddy. That day,
- 6:53Speaker 1: he entered the elevator with a bag of takeout. I
- 6:56Speaker 1: wasn't at the reception, but saw these later through the
- 6:58Speaker 1: CCTV record. He pressed the button for the tenth floor,
- 7:02Speaker 1: but the elevator stopped after a few seconds of going up. Confused,
- 7:07Speaker 1: he pressed more buttons rapidly, but nothing happened.
- 7:10Speaker 2: The CCTV footage showed him.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Standing there, perplexed when he suddenly went limp, but remained standing,
- 7:18Speaker 1: kind of like sleeping while being up.
- 7:20Speaker 2: What I saw next?
- 7:22Speaker 1: I mean, I don't believe in all the spirits and shit,
- 7:26Speaker 1: but I saw him suddenly levitate in the air for
- 7:29Speaker 1: a few seconds before collapsing. Bruce woke up and frantically
- 7:34Speaker 1: pressed the buttons again. His eyes widened in terror as
- 7:37Speaker 1: he turned towards a corner of the elevator. He started
- 7:40Speaker 1: screaming and banging on the doors. His face twisted in fear,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and then, for a fraction of a second, the footage
- 7:47Speaker 1: showed a shadowy, almost invisible figure in the corner. Bruce
- 7:52Speaker 1: saw it too and froze. Then the camera glitched and
- 7:56Speaker 1: the screen went black. When the footage resumed, Bruce was gone.
- 8:00Speaker 1: He had entered the elevator but never left it. He
- 8:04Speaker 1: vanished without a trace. What is happening in that elevator?
- 8:08Speaker 2: Oh?
- 8:08Speaker 1: The legend goes back to the building's construction During the
- 8:11Speaker 1: Great Depression. Work halted at the twenty first floor when
- 8:15Speaker 1: funds dried up. The construction workers suddenly jobless, faced hunger
- 8:19Speaker 1: and despair, One worker, in his desperation, jumped from the
- 8:23Speaker 1: twenty first floor into the elevator shaft. His body was
- 8:27Speaker 1: never found, and when the construction resumed two years later,
- 8:31Speaker 1: no one bothered to check for a body at the
- 8:33Speaker 1: bottom of the rubble in the shaft. I've come to
- 8:36Speaker 1: believe that the worker's spirits haunt the elevator. Maybe it's revenge,
- 8:41Speaker 1: or maybe it's something more sinister. The spirit seems to
- 8:44Speaker 1: target only those who are carrying food, perhaps a cruel
- 8:47Speaker 1: reminder of his own hunger and despair. I've tried to
- 8:50Speaker 1: get the elevator inspected, but every time the technicians come,
- 8:54Speaker 1: they find nothing wrong. It's as if whatever haunts the
- 8:58Speaker 1: elevator knows when it's being watched. The residents have their theories.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Some say the worker's spirit is trapped, freeliving his last
- 9:05Speaker 1: moments over and over. Others think it's a curse that
- 9:09Speaker 1: anyone who enters the elevator with food is doomed. I
- 9:12Speaker 1: don't know what to believe, but I do know this.
- 9:15Speaker 1: The elevator isn't safe. I've thought about quitting, but something
- 9:19Speaker 1: keeps me here. Maybe it's the hope that I'll find
- 9:21Speaker 1: a way to end the curse, to put the spirit
- 9:24Speaker 1: to rest or. Maybe it's the fear that if I leave,
- 9:28Speaker 1: I'll never know what really happened. I used to work
- 9:33Speaker 1: for door Dash a few years back. This incident happened
- 9:37Speaker 1: during my last food delivery. I was riding my scooter
- 9:40Speaker 1: into another Saturday night of dodging puddles and shady characters,
- 9:44Speaker 1: all for a few extra bucks. If surviving in this
- 9:47Speaker 1: world was tough, it was tougher in NYC. I stopped
- 9:51Speaker 1: by the restaurant, which was an old Chinese takeout place
- 9:54Speaker 1: I never came across before. A short, bald man came
- 9:58Speaker 1: out from the kitchen hole a parcel. The place reeked
- 10:02Speaker 1: of rotten meat, and I seriously questioned their hygiene and
- 10:05Speaker 1: food quality. Handing me over the parcel, the man said
- 10:09Speaker 1: it was to be delivered to an address named the
- 10:11Speaker 1: Myers House. The old man looked at me with a
- 10:14Speaker 1: blank stare and said, deliver it promptly before midnight. Do
- 10:19Speaker 1: not knock leave it on the doorstep. So should I
- 10:23Speaker 1: make a call or something to let the customer know
- 10:25Speaker 1: that I've you wouldn't want to disturb missus Myers Trust me,
- 10:30Speaker 1: it's for your own good. The man returned to the kitchen,
- 10:34Speaker 1: and I couldn't help but think how weird everything was
- 10:36Speaker 1: about this delivery. The GPS led me down an abandoned road.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Soon a dark shape materialized from the murk, a dilapidated
- 10:45Speaker 1: house with its windows boarded up, staring back like lifeless eyes.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Despite the thick, humid air, I felt a shiver run
- 10:53Speaker 1: down my spine.
- 10:55Speaker 2: I rechecked the address. It matched.
- 10:58Speaker 1: A faint light illuminated the dark porch. There was no doorbell.
- 11:02Speaker 1: I hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the heavy
- 11:05Speaker 1: oak door. The sound cut through the thick silence, but
- 11:08Speaker 1: there was no reply. I tried a few more times,
- 11:12Speaker 1: growing more frustrated. Just as I was about to give up,
- 11:16Speaker 1: the door creaked open. An old woman's partial face appeared
- 11:20Speaker 1: in the crack. Her blue eyes glowed in the dark.
- 11:23Speaker 1: In a raspy voice, she.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Whispered, didn't he tell you not to knock?
- 11:29Speaker 1: He did, but it's so dark out here. I didn't
- 11:31Speaker 1: want to leave your food unattended.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Seems like you're different than the others.
- 11:36Speaker 1: I handed her the package, and her bony fingers brushed
- 11:39Speaker 1: in my hands while taking it her touch was cold
- 11:43Speaker 1: and creepy. Just then, a loud thunder cracked outside and
- 11:47Speaker 1: heavy rain started. I murmured to myself in a low voice,
- 11:52Speaker 1: damn it. Now I have to drive back.
- 11:53Speaker 2: In this weather. Well, you can wait here, maybe have
- 11:58Speaker 2: a glass of wine till the rain slows down. A
- 12:01Speaker 2: glass of wine wouldn't hurt, so I stepped in.
- 12:05Speaker 1: The Inside was a complete turnaround from the creepy exterior.
- 12:08Speaker 1: A roaring fire crackled warmly in a grand stone hearth,
- 12:12Speaker 1: casting a cozy glow over a luxurious living room. Eleanor
- 12:17Speaker 1: introduced herself with an apology and asked me to have
- 12:20Speaker 1: dinner with her. While I ate, Eleanor talked about the
- 12:23Speaker 1: weather and the town. Her eyes, the only part of
- 12:26Speaker 1: her face lit up by the fire, glowed with an
- 12:29Speaker 1: unsettingly bright amber. An eerie sensation started to crawl up
- 12:33Speaker 1: my spine. After finishing the last bite, a strange emptiness
- 12:37Speaker 1: settled in my stomach. Thank you, I said, pushing the
- 12:41Speaker 1: plate away. That was deliciously different. I had no idea
- 12:46Speaker 1: this restaurant served.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Was this good?
- 12:48Speaker 1: Eleanor chuckled, letting out her crooked teeth, and.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Said, yeah, people often judge by the physical appearance. Anyways,
- 12:59Speaker 2: it's time for it.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I raned my hand over my full stomach and told
- 13:03Speaker 1: her I didn't have a place left for dessert. And
- 13:06Speaker 1: that's when her face changed. She grinned and picked up
- 13:09Speaker 1: a sharp steak knife, saying.
- 13:12Speaker 2: The dessert is for me, dear. I'm happy the restaurant
- 13:16Speaker 2: sent a wide guy after such a long time, and
- 13:20Speaker 2: I'm even happier that you knocked on the door. A
- 13:25Speaker 2: sudden wave of dizziness hit me.
- 13:27Speaker 1: My head spun, and the warmth from the fire turned
- 13:30Speaker 1: into an overwhelming heat. Panics surged up my throat. I
- 13:34Speaker 1: tried to stand, but my legs felt like lead. Eleanor
- 13:38Speaker 1: moved towards me with an unsettling hunger and a cruel smile.
- 13:42Speaker 2: She was no longer frail. I'll enjoy slowly.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I promise this wasn't just a bad takeout, this was
- 13:52Speaker 1: something far more sinister. With a jolt of adrenaline, I
- 13:56Speaker 1: grabbed a heavy brass candlestick from a nearby table. As
- 14:00Speaker 1: Illinois lunged, I swung the candlestick, hitting her with a
- 14:03Speaker 1: sickening crack. When she collapsed to the floor, a low
- 14:07Speaker 1: inhuman growl escaped her lips. She still tried to reach
- 14:11Speaker 1: out to me. Taking advantage of the momentary reprieve, I
- 14:14Speaker 1: stumbled towards the door, vision blurry, my hands fumbled for
- 14:19Speaker 1: the handle. Finally finding purchase, I slammed the door open
- 14:23Speaker 1: and dashed into the rain, lung screaming for air. I
- 14:27Speaker 1: didn't look back. I didn't stop until the ragged outline
- 14:30Speaker 1: of civilization reappeared, shimmering like a mirage in the distance.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I saw a car coming, and with all my strength,
- 14:38Speaker 1: I waved my arms and then fainted on the muddy road.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Later at the hospital, the doctors were baffled by my
- 14:47Speaker 1: incoherent ramblings about an old woman who tried to eat me.
- 14:51Speaker 1: They told me they found Roofi's in my stomach, and
- 14:54Speaker 1: I think it came from the wine, because Eleanor and
- 14:57Speaker 1: I ate the same food. What's even more surprise is
- 15:00Speaker 1: that the restaurant from where I picked up Eleanor's order
- 15:03Speaker 1: vanished from the face of the earth.
- 15:05Speaker 2: It was nowhere in the GPS.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I'm certain that underground restaurants are scattered through NYC that
- 15:11Speaker 1: are secretly filling these cannibals.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Midnight craves
