Anomalies 3: Killer Tapes (2023) Movie Script
1
All right.
Hello.
My name is Brandon Stout.
I am a YouTube content
producer here in Los Angeles.
I specialize in making
YouTube content that focuses
on urban exploration, conspiracy
theories, urban myths,
the occult, anything like that.
My friend and colleague,
Jared Anderson,
snuck onto an island called
Nalu Island in the Caribbean.
He went to this island
to explore an urban myth
about a demon called the
Leviathan demon that supposedly
came to this island
and wiped everybody
out, killed all the
population, killed
everyone that lived there.
While Jared was
exploring the island,
I reached out to
a contact of mine
that worked at the White House.
And they gave me
information on a group
called Project Leviathan.
They own that chain of islands
there on the Bermuda Triangle,
including Nalu Island
and were performing
unregulated,
dangerous experiments
on interdimensional travel
and interdimensional portals
on this island.
This sounds insane.
Interdimensional portals,
interdimensional rifts,
you know, things coming
in and coming out.
I know.
I know, I know it sounds crazy.
It sounds like we're
putting on a show,
but that's not-- that's
not what happened.
That's not true.
My contacts send me over
footage of different anomalies
that were coming in
and out of the portals
that Project Leviathan
was testing on.
And we found out
they were wiping out
their entire scientific team.
We found out they were
killing all of their people.
I told Jared he had
to get off the island.
That was six months ago, and I
haven't heard from him since.
I am working now and
investing everything
I have to trying to find
him and figure out what
Project Leviathan is doing.
I'm recording all this so that I
can go live about what is going
on with Project Leviathan.
They're probably
listening to me right now.
They're probably watching
this recording somehow.
But I don't care.
I don't care what happens to me.
I need to figure out
what happened to Jared.
I have to find out
what happened to him.
Not only did my informant
at the White House send me
footage of Project
leviathan's experiments,
detailed documents
explaining what they're
doing on the island,
but they also
let me know that there is
land, several hours outside
of Los Angeles, desert
land, that is owned
by the Project Leviathan group.
I don't know if Jared could
be held there in some facility
or not, but all I know is that
I need to go check it out,
and I need to see
what's happening.
All right.
So it's about 4:15
in the morning.
I have about a three,
four-hour drive ahead of me
out to the desert.
I've got the van
loaded here, production
van, to go check
out the land that
is owned by Project Leviathan.
My plan is to stay out there as
long as I need to stay out there
to find what I need to find.
So we'll see how this goes.
I'm not really keen on
messing with this barbed wire.
So I think I'm gonna just not
make it into this one, I guess.
These are more structures
that are on the land
owned by Project Leviathan.
Yeah, they would
bring young children
here and experiment on them.
Supposedly, if you
come here at night,
the legend has it that you
can see some of the children
still here in the buildings.
Most of them, most of them
were orphans back in the day.
There was some sickness
that came through the town,
and a lot of kids were orphaned.
And so whoever
brought them in worked
for a Project Leviathan group.
And they would experiment on the
kids because there was no one
there to hold them accountable.
You know, whether it was a
cult or interdimensional things
or anything like
that, I don't know,
I assume it was any and all.
Let me go check out a
few more buildings that I
have more information on.
And we'll see what we can find.
To be honest with you, it
feels like a nice little town.
Just kind of through the desert,
came to a nice little town.
I've got my van parked
here by a nice playground.
And then over here is
the shut-down school.
If you keep going over, here is
the old facility of some kind
right there.
All right, so all of
this land that you see,
these mountains, everything
is owned by the Project
Leviathan Corporation.
So it's very strange.
I was driving
through the desert.
I went through this gate
that said "restricted."
Just kept going,
lots of abandoned
buildings, abandoned barns, just
farmland, farmland, farmland.
And then all of a sudden, I
came upon this little town.
It seems to have a lot of
people pretty populated.
The only thing I'm seeing are
these white, unmarked kind
of trucks and SUVs driving by.
So I'm gonna go
over here, and I'm
gonna check out this
abandoned school over here.
It's very strange.
It's all kind of within
this residential area.
Supposedly the story
is 100 years ago,
it caught fire and burnt down.
Nobody knows why.
There just happened
to be a strange fire
that happened and burnt
the whole school down.
The kids were sadly
trapped inside.
They were not able to get out.
Were they being tested on?
Were they chained
to their desks?
What happened?
This is another facility.
That one burnt down more
recently, like 10 to 20 years
ago.
Debris here from the
fire, it looks like.
Old shoe.
Pieces.
There's a snake under there.
Yeah, there's
something under there.
Well, it says "welcome,"
so I guess we'll go in.
All right.
It feels very creepy in here.
"Please let me out.
I'm dying.
He has me stuck in here.
If you see this, I'm" something.
Seems like a big
open courtyard area.
These cars that keep driving
by unmarked vehicles.
Or debris in here, broken glass.
What are the odds that
this place would burn down
and then the Project
Leviathan facility over there
would burn down as well?
It seems pretty crazy.
Whoa, this-- this freaks me out.
I don't know why, but I've
got a really eerie feeling.
There are these holes.
Is anyone down in there?
I don't know.
There's stairs that came down.
This almost feels like
a basement of some kind,
like it's lowered.
Like, this was the floor.
And, like, we're kind
of in a basement area.
It's very creepy
underground tunnels.
I think that one goes all
the way through-- all the way
through to the other room.
It's this is like a toilet
or pottery or something.
Broken glass.
There's a bottle
here, a glass bottle.
Here, let me take that.
It's kind of a cool bottle, but
what's the stuff inside of it?
Chew or something,
maybe like tobacco chew.
It's still liquidy, though.
Kind of dripping still.
It's crazy.
I'll hold on to that.
I feel a little weird
here, but I wouldn't
say it's anything overly
weird other than just
me being freaked out.
That.
It's just like a creepy place.
It's pretty chill.
The only thing is, I keep seeing
these white SUVs drive by,
and that makes me
a little worried
that somebody is keeping
an eye on this place,
and they know that I'm here.
So let's pick it up here.
Everything's pretty
much in pieces.
So I found that bottle.
This is the culprit that
keeps terrifying me.
I keep thinking someone coming
after me or a rattlesnake.
I have these
underground tunnels.
I don't know.
I'll just get out of here.
We'll move on to the next spot.
Oh!
One location down.
I think we're gonna hit
up the bigger facility.
Hand sanitizer after
doing an exploration.
Strange I keep seeing
these, like, white SUVs
circling around.
If they own this land, they
can kick me out at any time.
As soon as I went through
those gates to enter this town
you know, I assume that I'm
kind of an illegal person
in this area.
I don't have
authorization to be here.
So another one of
these SUVs coming by.
They're all white and unmarked.
They don't have plates.
Kind of like I'm
on their territory,
so there's no real
sense in hiding.
If they want to get
me, they can get me.
They're so strange.
They have the fence
around the whole town.
Everyone seems cool with it.
I don't know if they're
employed by Project Leviathan
or if it's just
affordable, cheap housing.
This kind of fascinates
me a little bit.
OK, it's still dripping.
If this is, like, super old,
I don't know how it would
still be kind of liquefied.
My first thought
is that it's, like,
chew, like, like,
chewing tobacco,
like someone spit in here.
It's in my lungs.
It's not chewing tobacco.
Oh!
That black stuff
is still in my--
it's still in my lungs, still--
I'm gonna to go check out
this other facility now.
Let's see what's in there.
I know you love me.
I'm the only one for you.
Baby,
Good.
All right, so this supposedly
burned down about 20 years ago.
The facility span the
entire block here.
They've since, it seems like,
put more houses and things.
So it's become more
residential, it looks like.
Let's get inside and
see what's going on.
There are more cars coming.
I thought there would be a
break in the fence somewhere.
OK, so I found.
There's a break in the fence.
Wow, that sucker's tall.
I wonder if the whole thing,
like, if it was all that tall.
They housed patients here?
Was this a research facility?
What was this?
I don't think I can express to
you how massive this thing is.
Look at this.
Look how big this is.
Eight stories,
something like that.
Seven, eight stories.
These are crazy,
whatever is in here.
It looks like a
lift of some kind.
Look at the snake.
Looks like there's
a door over here.
Let's check this out.
Looks like they sealed it up.
Yeah.
They sealed it up.
Nice snakes in there,
anything like that.
I can't get up
here, so I'm gonna
have to rely on the camera.
Let's see what's in there.
Looks like this is the only
way in and it's blocked off.
There isn't really much.
Down below, is there anything?
I don't really see,
like, a basement.
That doesn't mean anything
because I can't get in there.
Ah, creepy.
It looks like there's
old beds and things.
It's like patient beds.
Creepy.
It looks like it'll
break right through.
It's like a basement.
Did they keep people down there?
Look at that.
There's beds.
As you can see here, there are
these creepy windows going up.
And all I can imagine is
some patients being tested on
by Project Leviathan and
them trapped in the facility,
looking out those windows.
I'm wondering if this is--
where is it?
It's right there.
This is, like, patient
files or something.
I'm gonna try to get it out.
But I'm gonna try to
do it without falling
through this floor,
because that would be bad.
Let's see if this
can hold my weight.
OK, this is something.
Stick it in my bag.
We're gonna get out of here.
Oh, we found a folder.
I don't know what's in it,
but we found something.
Let's go.
OK, so I'm back over
here by the school.
Oh, my van's right there.
Oh!
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if--
if I'm dehydrated or if
I just didn't eat enough,
but my head is killing me.
I was planning on driving
back to LA tonight
and sleeping there,
but I think tonight
I might just have to crash here,
as much as I don't want to.
But my head is just killing me.
It's throbbing.
All right, I gotta
get out of this town.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
I was just.
No, I was just filming--
You've got
permission to be here.
No, I--
You've got permission
to film with that camera?
- No, I was just--
- Who sent you here?
No one.
I was just-- I have
a YouTube channel.
A YouTube channel?
You're a YouTuber?
Yeah, just-- just
talking about the paranormal,
the occult, things like that.
Yeah, I'm by myself.
I heard Hollowmere has
some ghosts and paranormal,
so I was just trying to see,
see what I can see, and yeah.
You wanna know the true
story about Hollowmere?
I mean, do
you know the true story?
Oh, I know the story.
Follow me back to my house.
I'll-- I'll talk to you
about it if you wanna know.
OK, OK.
Follow my truck.
It's just one of
the white trucks?
Yeah.
That keep driving by.
OK.
Yeah, I'll follow
the white truck.
I think I'm just gonna get
out of here now that he's gone.
You coming city boy?
Yeah, I'll be
right behind you.
You don't need to wait up.
I'll be right there.
I don't know what to do.
So, against my better judgment,
I'm following this truck here.
This guy says he knows
something about--
where did he go?
Did he turn there?
OK, I've lost the guy.
I think he's up here.
I don't know anything
about this guy,
so let's just hope that
he doesn't kill me.
He was driving around in
one of these white trucks.
I kept seeing pull by.
There, I think that
was it right there.
But then there's another
white truck over there.
So I'm not sure.
I have no idea what
I'm doing, but it
seems like a nice enough house.
Not too worried that he's
gonna kill me, but, you know.
It's Brandon, the guy that you
just saw at the-- at the park.
Oh, come on in, city boy.
OK.
OK.
Come on out to the garage.
It'll be more comfortable.
OK.
OK.
So yeah, right here
is a good spot.
You get that cool car, that
muscle car in the back here.
Yeah, that's my--
that's my baby.
How long
did it take you to--
oh, sorry.
Are you cool if I mic you?
Mm-hmm.
OK thank you.
Cameras are rolling.
So first off, thank you so
much for having me and inviting
me over to your beautiful home.
You know, for my
viewers, let's just--
if you could just
introduce yourself,
give your name,
what job you have
in town, that would be great.
Well, I'm John McCready.
And I don't have a job anymore.
So you're
unemployed then, just?
You can put it that way.
OK.
Did you-- what job did you
have in town here in Hollowmere
before you were unemployed?
I was hired at the
psychiatric hospital
just out of high school.
And I worked my way
up and became the head
of security for the last
seven years before, you know,
the incident.
What incident are
you talking about?
Thomas was skinny, skinny
and sickly, malnourished.
He was easy to restrain
most of the time.
And then that one night,
Thomas killed his orderly.
Busted out of his room and
made it out to the lobby.
He almost escaped.
But I grabbed him.
He was so strong.
Took the keys from my belt
and stabbed me in the shoulder
with my own keys.
I was able to eventually
get on top of him.
And two other orderlies
were able to help me get him
under control for that night.
Woke up in the hospital.
I was told I was fired, not
allowed back in the building.
And I get my penance
of disability.
Not like the Finches
don't have enough money.
You know, they
started this town.
So the Finches,
who are the Finches?
- Finches.
- Yeah.
Where do you want me to start?
I mean,
at the very beginning
would be great just to kind
of know-- so are they kind of,
like, a wealthy
family in town here?
Oh, they're wealthy.
The Finch family started
this town back in 1872.
They learned that there
was precious metals
and minerals, cobalt,
nickel in the mountains
all around Hollowmere.
They could make even more
money with a mining operation.
So that's what they did.
Bad things started
happening in Hollowmere
The miners started changing.
Some killed their livestock.
Some murdered their
whole families.
We study a lot on the
occult, the demonic.
Did they-- did they unearth
something that was evil?
I don't
know what they did.
But I've heard the
stories of what happened.
The same people that committed
murders and did these things,
apparently, the Finches
noticed that they also
had some special abilities
while they built the orphanage
and those other burnt-up
buildings now that you were at,
and the psychiatric hospital
that I used to work at.
So were people still
affected by these mountains,
even after the mines shut down
Or, if, you know, later on?
I showed up and went to work.
And my job was to keep
the facility secure.
And I did that until
the day I was fired.
What were they doing to people
in the psychiatric hospital?
I don't know what
they were doing.
I know that even as
a head of security,
there were rooms I
wasn't allowed in.
I would hear screams and
blood-curdling yells.
And I still hear 'em.
Skinny Thomas, that
night, he had strength
like no human strength.
He was able to overpower me.
And this guy was
sickly and weak before.
Whatever happened to
him in that room that's
what the Finches were after.
I was fired because I saw
what he could do after.
John, if you don't
mind me asking,
it seems like the entire
town of Hollowmere
has this kind of
sordid past to it.
These terrible things
that have happened here.
Why do people choose
to stay in Hollowmere?
Like, I mean, just
driving into town,
it felt like everybody
was kind of--
What are you trying
to say about Hollowmere?
I'll tell you why we stay
here, because it's our home.
And we're not too
fond of outsiders
like you coming in and talking
about demons and monsters
and all your other
stuff on YouTube
so that the millennials can
sit behind their keyboards,
typing and talking
about Hollowmere
like they know what happened.
They don't know what happened.
You don't know what happened.
And you know what?
I don't got any love
lost for the Finches.
They're-- they're bad people.
But they're better than
people like you and outsiders.
Mm-hmm.
They're
better than people that
come in here,
looking down on us,
acting like we're here
for their amusement.
You know what?
Maybe I should kill
you, cut your belly open
and string your insides
up in my living room
for my Christmas decorations.
John,
I don't think--
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Huh?
I apologize for offending.
I think that we'll
just wrap this in--
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
I think thank you so
much for your time.
Heading out of here?
- I
- think, yeah, I think
- it'd be best for me to go--
- Well.
--and just get on the road.
You might wanna get out
of here before it gets dark.
Mm-hmm.
Why is that?
You don't want the town
cannibals to get a hold of you.
Yeah, I'll head on out.
Are you gonna get me this time--
Before you go, you should
drive out to old hollow drive.
OK.
Up on the top
is the plot where
the Finch's mansion used to be.
But be careful
for the cannibals.
Oh, well.
Yeah, I'll just get
out of your hair.
Thank you for your
interview today.
So I decided to crash
here in the van.
I'm not feeling very good.
And it's probably like 3:00
or 4:00 in the morning.
I don't know.
It's really cold out here.
I pushed Jar in.
I pushed him to fake
some of his videos.
I pushed him to try
to get more followers
and figure out how to do that.
And that made him
go to the island.
It's all my fault. I
pushed him to do it.
And then I was pissed off
when he went to that island
without telling me.
And I'm over here just like, why
am I mad that I have torpedoed
his career by faking things.
And then I push him to make more
episodes and bigger episodes.
And then he goes and does it.
And I'm irritated at
him that he listened
to what I told him to do.
You can't sleep anymore here.
There's one more desert
location I want to hit up.
And then I want to get out
of here because this place
is freaking me out.
Shsss.
I hear something.
What's that?
It feels-- it feels like
something's watching me.
Shsss.
There's something in the bushes.
Do you see this, though?
I'm getting out of here.
I found-- I found something.
Thomas has been a bad.
Tom is a bad boy.
Tom has been bad.
Thomas is a bad boy!
There's a
box here that's tied up.
Why would they tie
up a paper mask?
We have hard drives.
We have film reels,
Polaroid cameras, VHS tapes,
a whole bunch of drawings.
I don't know what
any of this means.
I definitely want to go
through all of this stuff.
But before we get
too far, I definitely
want to get these cameras--
there's a third one--
sent out for development, here.
I know they take a little bit.
Shipped out.
Come on, boot.
I just don't know if these
hard drives are gonna load.
I don't know.
That's the mask that I think
was all-- was all tied up.
I'm seeing things
that I can't unsee.
How is this connected?
I don't understand what this has
to do with Project Leviathan.
What is going on?
What is going on?
What
are you doing?
Life would be so much easier
if you just listen to me!
My baby boy.
My boy.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No!
Boy!
My baby boy.
I'm hearing voices at night.
I can't sleep.
It feels like I'm
losing my mind.
I know it's not real.
I know it's not real.
I just-- I'm hearing voices.
I'm hearing this
singing, this humming.
And I just--
I don't know what
to do about it.
I don't know what to do.
It feels like there's
people watching me.
And I try to sleep, and I just
hear this humming in my head
over and over and over again.
And I just--
I don't know what to do.
My mind just won't
stop thinking.
I'm not used to seeing
such disturbing images.
You know, It's like, you
know, when I produce a show,
it's not like this.
I'm not seeing something
horrific happen. you know,
there's some mystery,
but I know how
the ending is because,
you know, Jared would
come out the other end alive.
The mystery or whatever he was
trying to explore or solve,
you know, wasn't either
real or didn't kill anybody
as far as the people I know.
But when I'm watching this
stuff with this guy, Thomas,
I don't know how the story ends.
I don't know where it goes.
I should have forced him
to leave that island.
I know I told Jared to leave,
but I should have forced him.
I had to call his mom.
I hadn't heard from him.
I had to call his mom
and let her know that I
didn't know where he was.
Brandon, whenever you get
this, I need you to pass
this along to my-- my mom.
Mom, I-- I love you.
That's it.
I love you.
And I know you're always had
my best interest at heart.
And you-- you told
me not to come.
And I think you were right.
I think you were right.
I remember this time you walked
into my room when I was a kid
and you told me that if anything
ever happened to me, if I--
you would crawl into a
hole and you would die.
Then I don't know
what it was, but you
said it just the right time.
You were the one that kept
me from doing stupid things.
I hated feeling
like I couldn't do
something because of a feeling.
And-- and so I would
push the boundaries.
And I think--
I think I've gone too far.
I don't know what
happens after this.
I know there's something very,
very important is happening.
But I don't think it's
happening in this world.
I love you.
We got the photos back.
Let's see what we have on here.
So it looks like they
gave them to us on disk.
Thomas getting beaten, some
sort of fingers getting cut.
There's more Thomas.
Look at that.
There's a few different
masked people.
But who are these other guys?
I don't think these are--
I think these are different
patients that they had.
I think I should get these CDs
imported and take a closer look,
let's see what we got.
This is the bench
that I kept from you.
This.
No.
What would
your parents think?
No way.
Sorry for what?
Where are you?
You're a good boy, Tom.
Thomas, Thomas.
Stop!
Don't!
Don't!
you do what.
It's other late night
going through footage.
I'm very tired.
And I just can't seem
to get myself to sleep.
It's just-- it's a lot to
have to go through and watch
and just watch and
watch and watch
and watch and watch and watch.
They were documenting
all their experiments
that they were
performing on Thomas,
and that they wanted to see
what this pain and torment
was going to bring out of him.
And so they set up cameras
all throughout the compound,
and they filmed him constantly.
What is the point of
Project Leviathan?
What is the point of what
they're trying to do?
Why are they testing, and
why are they doing this?
Like, why?
Why are they just
beating this guy?
I don't know how much
more of this I can take,
but I've got to try
to find an answer.
Not feeling good.
He can kill
us whenever he wants to.
I don't wanna see
these things, man.
I don't wanna see these things.
I can't unsee the
things that I'm seeing.
I never should have
opened the box.
I don't want these
things in my head.
I don't want these
things in my head.
Thomas, so you've been
having trouble getting
along with the other guests.
Why do you think that is?
Thomas is not here.
Who is it
that I'm talking to then?
Barbara.
I normally
speak with Tom.
Thomas, I need to know if
you're capable of getting
along with the
other patients here.
Stop clicking the pen.
Do you want to be part
of our family here or Not
This doesn't need a family.
OK, so who's this guy?
Another patient, it looks like.
It is in my blood.
It is in my blood.
It is in me.
It is in my blood.
Substances in his blood.
It is in my blood.
Substance.
It's the black stuff in the--
is this what he's talking about?
You have to kill me.
You have to remove the creature.
You must take my
blood and kill me.
She comes to me.
She finds me.
Kill me, kill me, kill me,
kill me, kill me, kill me.
Kill me.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
Please, please, please.
I can feel it in my chest.
Oh, yeah!
Kill me.
All right, I'm gonna stay
up and watch more of this.
I think there's a
whole tape of this guy.
I had to
get out of the house
for a bit because
I feel like I was
losing my mind and going crazy.
I came to my favorite coffee
shop here, feeling better today.
I'm feeling awake.
If I was watching so much
of that footage of Thomas
getting beaten, I feel like
it just kind of consumed me.
And I completely forgot
that we found these files.
"Project Leviathan--
Classified Patient Profile."
"Patient PL-098b."
"Grant."
"Subject was discovered
post-suicide attempt with deep
inflicted lacerations
on both wrists,
with erratic speech
about visions being too
strong and seeing too much."
"Black vein syndrome."
"The anomalous
substance is present,
but in lower concentration
than in PL-097X, Shaw."
PL-097X, Shaw.
"Subject experienced
fragments vision"--
my gosh.
I got it.
OK.
"Subject experiences
fragmented visions
of future events with lower
accuracy compared to Shaw."
"Attempts at forced extraction
of the black substance
have yielded partial success."
"Though the substance
rapidly degrades
outside of the living host."
"Project Leviathan may require
continued live specimen
harvesting, either keeping the
hosts of this black substance
alive at facility Theta 12."
The big silos that
I went to where
I found this, that
must have been
where they were keeping them.
Let's see.
OK, Shaw.
"Subject reports
reoccurring hallucinations."
Come on.
Black vein syndrome
is the same thing.
"Foreign black viscous substance
circulates through the subject's
bloodstream.
Black substance is theorized
to be an interdimensional
pathogen or symbiotic entity."
Oh, gosh.
It's burnt.
"Initial field tests indicate
the substance amplifies energy
fluxations within portals,
possibly acting as a key
or stabilizer for the portals."
Barbara Finch was the
doctor experimenting on him.
These are two patients
that were held
at Project Leviathan's, what was
it called, Facility Theta 12.
It seems like they
were there to harvest
this black substance
that was reacting
to the interdimensional portals.
OK.
This is Thomas.
We have Thomas now.
PL-099T, Thomas.
"Subject was acquired as an
infant through undisclosed means
and raised under Project
Leviathan's covert
development program."
Black vein syndrome,
same thing here.
"Dormant until activation.
Unlike other subjects,
the black substance
in Thomas's blood remains
inert until external
triggers were introduced."
That's why they're beating him.
"Subject was exposed to extreme
psychological and physical
trauma to force activation."
"Subject was forced to kill
under controlled conditions,
triggering activation for
the first time at age 19."
"Subject refuses to remove
a custom designed mask,
believing it to be the key
to controlling the dark."
"Readings confirm
a heightened neural
response when mask
is worn, aligned with
black substance activation."
That's why he wears the mask.
"When activated,
the subject displays
abnormal strength and agility
beyond natural human limits."
"Lethality-- subject's combat
abilities emerge only when
a kill-or-be-killed scenario."
"Dr. Barbara Finch, deceased."
Dr. Barbara Finch.
Dr. Barbara Finch, who
was the doctor for Shaw.
"Subject attempted escape
from the Facility Theta 12
during a psychological
breakdown.
Barbara Finch was killed
in the confrontation."
"Subject breached
security level 3
but was wounded
during confrontation.
He remains at large,
though likely weakened."
"Recovery of both the substance
and the mask is a top priority."
So Thomas, Shaw, and Grant were
all subjects held at the Theta
12 facility and were patients of
Dr., what was it, Barbara Finch.
But the only one that had
their blood taken was Grant.
"Attempts at forced extraction
have yielded partial success,
though the substance
rapidly degrades
outside of a living host."
That-- that's what's
in the glass jar.
"Subject PL-113J.
Jared Anderson."
"Jared Anderson is a
YouTube content creator.
Subject illegally entered
project leviathan's
restricted island
under the guise
of exploring an abandoned site.
Surveillance team initially
maintained passive observation,
but biometric scans
indicated traces of the Black
substance in his bloodstream."
So this is saying that Jared
already had the black substance
in his blood.
"Extraction teams
engaged at 8:42 AM.
Upon pursuit, subject exhibited
a sudden and unexpected energy
signature near rift site omega,
an unstable interdimensional
anomaly on the island.
Subject escaped through an
active portal before recovery
units could secure him."
"High-profile anomaly."
"All known associates and online
activity under surveillance
for potential contact."
I told you, they're
already watching me.
"Let's continue
monitoring of Nalu
Island's rift site omega for
signs of potential reentry."
So they think he's going to
come back through on the island.
So what connects them all
and activates their abilities
and has them be able to see
visions of other dimensions
or go in through portals is
this black vein substance.
The black substance in their
veins, black vein syndrome.
And I have his.
If we know that this
black ooze is kind
of like an interdimensional
contaminant of some kind,
something, it needs blood.
And I want to see
if I can get some
of this black goop
out of here and give
it something to feed on.
OK.
So we've got a little drip
of this black substance
of some kind.
OK.
OK.
So I fed it some
of my own blood.
Let's see what happens.
I'll be back.
So it has been three hours
since I added my blood
to the black substance.
And this has grown
exponentially.
Are you seeing this?
Like, it's got substance
compared to, like, the
dried out version here.
This has substance.
So it seems to really feed
off of the host's blood.
I have this theory as
to why it gets activated
at these different
Project Leviathan sites,
because Nalu island is located
near the Bermuda Triangle.
That has been known to have
crazy magnetic interference
on planes and things.
So I think it reacts to magnets.
The location was at Theta 12
or Theta 13 that I went to,
is near mountains.
Mountains have metals
inside them that
have weird magnetic energy.
So I have a magnet here
and I'm going to see.
Well, that definitely reacted.
Wow.
Did you see it grab on to it?
Let's see how far it'll go.
See it reaching?
Wow.
It's definitely
following the magnet.
Wow.
You see that?
It's definitely following it.
You see that?
Whoa.
Not wanting to let
go of me either.
So what I did here is I put
some of that black substance
in a bottle of medical alcohol.
And look, it's become
even more, like, liquidy.
You see that?
It's very liquidy.
And then I'm gonna see how
it reacts to the magnet.
It doesn't seem to.
Whoa!
OK, there we go.
Do you see that?
Whoa, look at that.
That's crazy.
So it's definitely reacting
to magnetic fields.
That's why it activates
near these different sites.
You see how much
it's just when it's--
nothing going on.
Just chill.
And then you bring a magnet into
the equation, and look at that.
It starts activating.
Wow.
It wants to get out.
It wants to get to that.
It doesn't seem to like
that I'm taking it off.
It's not wanting to
come off the magnet.
It's not wanting
to come off of me.
Stop.
OK.
OK.
OK.
It's definitely reacting.
OK.
OK.
It definitely
reacted to my blood,
and it definitely reacted
to magnetic signals.
I think that it
explains why Project
Leviathan has gotten
these areas with
strange magnetic frequencies.
The magnetic frequencies seem to
be what gets the black substance
to respond in some way.
I'm trying to get this
black stuff off me,
and it is just not
wanting to come off.
Like here, coming down my arm.
It's just not
wanting to come off.
I'm gonna keep scrubbing at it.
And hopefully, it'll come off.
I think it wants my blood.
Hot water seems to help.
But it's burning.
Oh, OK.
OK, I gotta get this stuff off.
Hand drawings, faces,
faces, faces, faces.
OK, this is Thomas.
We've got a drawing of Thomas.
I wonder if this is, like,
a self-portrait that he did.
Barbara, I think that's Barbara
Finch that he's talking about.
Other than a self-portrait
of Thomas, a few more masks,
just a lot of eyes and faces.
Got three more tapes
to look through.
A few of them have been blank.
Yeah, this one looks like
it hasn't even been used.
So this tape looks used, and
an SD card just fell out of it.
Let me check these real quick.
Yeah, see, look, that one
looks like it hasn't been used.
Let's check that out.
All right, let's see
what's on this thing.
It's not mounting.
Oh, now it mounts, mounted.
So it's a Canon video
card, it looks like.
Let's see what we got on here.
All right.
Looks a little rough out there.
We'll see what we can get.
It's Jared.
Here we go.
That was wild.
I've heard of all these, like,
stories of Bermuda Triangle,
but it's-- it's--
it's crazy to see it.
Magnetic forests or supernatural
pull, pulling ships to the reef,
pulling planes out of the sky.
Can you feel it?
Do you feel the pull?
This is footage from
Jared on the island.
How-- how does this
make sense, though.
Come back, come
back, come back.
Come back, come back, come back.
Somebody can do
something with these.
Thank you.
You didn't get them from me.
What is this?
OK.
Brandon, pick up.
Brandon, I don't know why
you're not picking up right now.
I hope it's not because
you're mad at me.
I'm sorry that I hung
up on you the other day.
See, look, I--
I can't figure it out.
OK?
I mean, I'm reading
these, and I just don't
understand what they're saying.
I could really, really use
your expertise on this.
I'm-- I'm gonna try.
What the fuck?
Hello.
OK, y'all, I think I know
where I'm getting these
strange injuries from now.
Apparently, I am--
I'm sleepwalking.
I know I laid down in this bed,
and I fell asleep last night.
But this morning I woke up on--
on-- on-- on-- on that coral.
And I'm starting
to remember things.
I-- I have these strange
dreams, very real to me.
This place that's--
everything around me is--
is a part of me.
There's this surge with
the bright white light.
And I'm in this extremely
clean place, stark white.
We know the black
substance was in his blood
before he came to the island.
So it was in his
blood the entire time.
That's why every time he went
to the coral, he passed out.
It was like working
as like a key for him
to jump dimensions
without even knowing it.
And then my reality, my
physical world forms around me
with with my thoughts.
I mean, whatever I ask, whatever
I need, whatever I feel, it's--
it's-- it's there.
I asked for success in
this place, in this dream,
in this realm.
And then-- and I felt the
warmth and the gratitude.
I felt it all.
And it was amazing.
And it-- and when I get
back here, none of it
feels as real as when I'm there.
I feel dead inside.
I couldn't hear the voice.
It was just-- it was in my head.
It was a conversation going.
The nexus, that's
what I kept hearing.
What is this nexus?
Nexus.
The nexus of all things,
of all reality, of all--
of all dimensions.
I know this is the real world.
But the leaves don't sing
quite as brightly here.
The air is not as sweet here.
This is what Project
Leviathan wants.
They want the resources
from this nexus place.
If it's much more beautiful
and abundant in the nexus,
then that is what
Project Leviathan wants.
They want to get there.
And I think they want to
take the resources from it.
--everything than I'm
supposed to have here.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I have no idea how
this card got in there.
I don't know how it got
in with the VHS tapes.
My only guess is
that the dimensions
do not give a crap about time.
And things all
just get mixed up.
But Jared is alive.
Whatever this nexus
place is, I gotta
figure out how to get there.
Just spitballing here.
I'm thinking that if I can get
enough of this black substance
and pair it with a
mask, if that really
is a trigger for
the substance, I'm
wondering if I can go
back to that location,
Theta 12, the silos.
And if I can get through the
portal and get Jared back,
it's definitely worth trying.
And tonight,
Jared's coming back.
All right.
OK, I've kind of performed a
little science experiment here.
I-- I've put some of this.
It's kind of starting to turn
green, green-blackish liquid.
I put it in with
some of my blood.
And as you can see, it
has started to grow.
The black substance is growing.
I didn't know how
much I needed, so I
just kept draining my blood.
And I've got three
containers here.
It's starting to
push its way out.
Black ooze is already
starting to fill.
I've been feeling
pretty lightheaded.
Oh!
Oh!
It's in my blood.
My blood.
I tried.
All right.
Hello.
My name is Brandon Stout.
I am a YouTube content
producer here in Los Angeles.
I specialize in making
YouTube content that focuses
on urban exploration, conspiracy
theories, urban myths,
the occult, anything like that.
My friend and colleague,
Jared Anderson,
snuck onto an island called
Nalu Island in the Caribbean.
He went to this island
to explore an urban myth
about a demon called the
Leviathan demon that supposedly
came to this island
and wiped everybody
out, killed all the
population, killed
everyone that lived there.
While Jared was
exploring the island,
I reached out to
a contact of mine
that worked at the White House.
And they gave me
information on a group
called Project Leviathan.
They own that chain of islands
there on the Bermuda Triangle,
including Nalu Island
and were performing
unregulated,
dangerous experiments
on interdimensional travel
and interdimensional portals
on this island.
This sounds insane.
Interdimensional portals,
interdimensional rifts,
you know, things coming
in and coming out.
I know.
I know, I know it sounds crazy.
It sounds like we're
putting on a show,
but that's not-- that's
not what happened.
That's not true.
My contacts send me over
footage of different anomalies
that were coming in
and out of the portals
that Project Leviathan
was testing on.
And we found out
they were wiping out
their entire scientific team.
We found out they were
killing all of their people.
I told Jared he had
to get off the island.
That was six months ago, and I
haven't heard from him since.
I am working now and
investing everything
I have to trying to find
him and figure out what
Project Leviathan is doing.
I'm recording all this so that I
can go live about what is going
on with Project Leviathan.
They're probably
listening to me right now.
They're probably watching
this recording somehow.
But I don't care.
I don't care what happens to me.
I need to figure out
what happened to Jared.
I have to find out
what happened to him.
Not only did my informant
at the White House send me
footage of Project
leviathan's experiments,
detailed documents
explaining what they're
doing on the island,
but they also
let me know that there is
land, several hours outside
of Los Angeles, desert
land, that is owned
by the Project Leviathan group.
I don't know if Jared could
be held there in some facility
or not, but all I know is that
I need to go check it out,
and I need to see
what's happening.
All right.
So it's about 4:15
in the morning.
I have about a three,
four-hour drive ahead of me
out to the desert.
I've got the van
loaded here, production
van, to go check
out the land that
is owned by Project Leviathan.
My plan is to stay out there as
long as I need to stay out there
to find what I need to find.
So we'll see how this goes.
I'm not really keen on
messing with this barbed wire.
So I think I'm gonna just not
make it into this one, I guess.
These are more structures
that are on the land
owned by Project Leviathan.
Yeah, they would
bring young children
here and experiment on them.
Supposedly, if you
come here at night,
the legend has it that you
can see some of the children
still here in the buildings.
Most of them, most of them
were orphans back in the day.
There was some sickness
that came through the town,
and a lot of kids were orphaned.
And so whoever
brought them in worked
for a Project Leviathan group.
And they would experiment on the
kids because there was no one
there to hold them accountable.
You know, whether it was a
cult or interdimensional things
or anything like
that, I don't know,
I assume it was any and all.
Let me go check out a
few more buildings that I
have more information on.
And we'll see what we can find.
To be honest with you, it
feels like a nice little town.
Just kind of through the desert,
came to a nice little town.
I've got my van parked
here by a nice playground.
And then over here is
the shut-down school.
If you keep going over, here is
the old facility of some kind
right there.
All right, so all of
this land that you see,
these mountains, everything
is owned by the Project
Leviathan Corporation.
So it's very strange.
I was driving
through the desert.
I went through this gate
that said "restricted."
Just kept going,
lots of abandoned
buildings, abandoned barns, just
farmland, farmland, farmland.
And then all of a sudden, I
came upon this little town.
It seems to have a lot of
people pretty populated.
The only thing I'm seeing are
these white, unmarked kind
of trucks and SUVs driving by.
So I'm gonna go
over here, and I'm
gonna check out this
abandoned school over here.
It's very strange.
It's all kind of within
this residential area.
Supposedly the story
is 100 years ago,
it caught fire and burnt down.
Nobody knows why.
There just happened
to be a strange fire
that happened and burnt
the whole school down.
The kids were sadly
trapped inside.
They were not able to get out.
Were they being tested on?
Were they chained
to their desks?
What happened?
This is another facility.
That one burnt down more
recently, like 10 to 20 years
ago.
Debris here from the
fire, it looks like.
Old shoe.
Pieces.
There's a snake under there.
Yeah, there's
something under there.
Well, it says "welcome,"
so I guess we'll go in.
All right.
It feels very creepy in here.
"Please let me out.
I'm dying.
He has me stuck in here.
If you see this, I'm" something.
Seems like a big
open courtyard area.
These cars that keep driving
by unmarked vehicles.
Or debris in here, broken glass.
What are the odds that
this place would burn down
and then the Project
Leviathan facility over there
would burn down as well?
It seems pretty crazy.
Whoa, this-- this freaks me out.
I don't know why, but I've
got a really eerie feeling.
There are these holes.
Is anyone down in there?
I don't know.
There's stairs that came down.
This almost feels like
a basement of some kind,
like it's lowered.
Like, this was the floor.
And, like, we're kind
of in a basement area.
It's very creepy
underground tunnels.
I think that one goes all
the way through-- all the way
through to the other room.
It's this is like a toilet
or pottery or something.
Broken glass.
There's a bottle
here, a glass bottle.
Here, let me take that.
It's kind of a cool bottle, but
what's the stuff inside of it?
Chew or something,
maybe like tobacco chew.
It's still liquidy, though.
Kind of dripping still.
It's crazy.
I'll hold on to that.
I feel a little weird
here, but I wouldn't
say it's anything overly
weird other than just
me being freaked out.
That.
It's just like a creepy place.
It's pretty chill.
The only thing is, I keep seeing
these white SUVs drive by,
and that makes me
a little worried
that somebody is keeping
an eye on this place,
and they know that I'm here.
So let's pick it up here.
Everything's pretty
much in pieces.
So I found that bottle.
This is the culprit that
keeps terrifying me.
I keep thinking someone coming
after me or a rattlesnake.
I have these
underground tunnels.
I don't know.
I'll just get out of here.
We'll move on to the next spot.
Oh!
One location down.
I think we're gonna hit
up the bigger facility.
Hand sanitizer after
doing an exploration.
Strange I keep seeing
these, like, white SUVs
circling around.
If they own this land, they
can kick me out at any time.
As soon as I went through
those gates to enter this town
you know, I assume that I'm
kind of an illegal person
in this area.
I don't have
authorization to be here.
So another one of
these SUVs coming by.
They're all white and unmarked.
They don't have plates.
Kind of like I'm
on their territory,
so there's no real
sense in hiding.
If they want to get
me, they can get me.
They're so strange.
They have the fence
around the whole town.
Everyone seems cool with it.
I don't know if they're
employed by Project Leviathan
or if it's just
affordable, cheap housing.
This kind of fascinates
me a little bit.
OK, it's still dripping.
If this is, like, super old,
I don't know how it would
still be kind of liquefied.
My first thought
is that it's, like,
chew, like, like,
chewing tobacco,
like someone spit in here.
It's in my lungs.
It's not chewing tobacco.
Oh!
That black stuff
is still in my--
it's still in my lungs, still--
I'm gonna to go check out
this other facility now.
Let's see what's in there.
I know you love me.
I'm the only one for you.
Baby,
Good.
All right, so this supposedly
burned down about 20 years ago.
The facility span the
entire block here.
They've since, it seems like,
put more houses and things.
So it's become more
residential, it looks like.
Let's get inside and
see what's going on.
There are more cars coming.
I thought there would be a
break in the fence somewhere.
OK, so I found.
There's a break in the fence.
Wow, that sucker's tall.
I wonder if the whole thing,
like, if it was all that tall.
They housed patients here?
Was this a research facility?
What was this?
I don't think I can express to
you how massive this thing is.
Look at this.
Look how big this is.
Eight stories,
something like that.
Seven, eight stories.
These are crazy,
whatever is in here.
It looks like a
lift of some kind.
Look at the snake.
Looks like there's
a door over here.
Let's check this out.
Looks like they sealed it up.
Yeah.
They sealed it up.
Nice snakes in there,
anything like that.
I can't get up
here, so I'm gonna
have to rely on the camera.
Let's see what's in there.
Looks like this is the only
way in and it's blocked off.
There isn't really much.
Down below, is there anything?
I don't really see,
like, a basement.
That doesn't mean anything
because I can't get in there.
Ah, creepy.
It looks like there's
old beds and things.
It's like patient beds.
Creepy.
It looks like it'll
break right through.
It's like a basement.
Did they keep people down there?
Look at that.
There's beds.
As you can see here, there are
these creepy windows going up.
And all I can imagine is
some patients being tested on
by Project Leviathan and
them trapped in the facility,
looking out those windows.
I'm wondering if this is--
where is it?
It's right there.
This is, like, patient
files or something.
I'm gonna try to get it out.
But I'm gonna try to
do it without falling
through this floor,
because that would be bad.
Let's see if this
can hold my weight.
OK, this is something.
Stick it in my bag.
We're gonna get out of here.
Oh, we found a folder.
I don't know what's in it,
but we found something.
Let's go.
OK, so I'm back over
here by the school.
Oh, my van's right there.
Oh!
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if--
if I'm dehydrated or if
I just didn't eat enough,
but my head is killing me.
I was planning on driving
back to LA tonight
and sleeping there,
but I think tonight
I might just have to crash here,
as much as I don't want to.
But my head is just killing me.
It's throbbing.
All right, I gotta
get out of this town.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
I was just.
No, I was just filming--
You've got
permission to be here.
No, I--
You've got permission
to film with that camera?
- No, I was just--
- Who sent you here?
No one.
I was just-- I have
a YouTube channel.
A YouTube channel?
You're a YouTuber?
Yeah, just-- just
talking about the paranormal,
the occult, things like that.
Yeah, I'm by myself.
I heard Hollowmere has
some ghosts and paranormal,
so I was just trying to see,
see what I can see, and yeah.
You wanna know the true
story about Hollowmere?
I mean, do
you know the true story?
Oh, I know the story.
Follow me back to my house.
I'll-- I'll talk to you
about it if you wanna know.
OK, OK.
Follow my truck.
It's just one of
the white trucks?
Yeah.
That keep driving by.
OK.
Yeah, I'll follow
the white truck.
I think I'm just gonna get
out of here now that he's gone.
You coming city boy?
Yeah, I'll be
right behind you.
You don't need to wait up.
I'll be right there.
I don't know what to do.
So, against my better judgment,
I'm following this truck here.
This guy says he knows
something about--
where did he go?
Did he turn there?
OK, I've lost the guy.
I think he's up here.
I don't know anything
about this guy,
so let's just hope that
he doesn't kill me.
He was driving around in
one of these white trucks.
I kept seeing pull by.
There, I think that
was it right there.
But then there's another
white truck over there.
So I'm not sure.
I have no idea what
I'm doing, but it
seems like a nice enough house.
Not too worried that he's
gonna kill me, but, you know.
It's Brandon, the guy that you
just saw at the-- at the park.
Oh, come on in, city boy.
OK.
OK.
Come on out to the garage.
It'll be more comfortable.
OK.
OK.
So yeah, right here
is a good spot.
You get that cool car, that
muscle car in the back here.
Yeah, that's my--
that's my baby.
How long
did it take you to--
oh, sorry.
Are you cool if I mic you?
Mm-hmm.
OK thank you.
Cameras are rolling.
So first off, thank you so
much for having me and inviting
me over to your beautiful home.
You know, for my
viewers, let's just--
if you could just
introduce yourself,
give your name,
what job you have
in town, that would be great.
Well, I'm John McCready.
And I don't have a job anymore.
So you're
unemployed then, just?
You can put it that way.
OK.
Did you-- what job did you
have in town here in Hollowmere
before you were unemployed?
I was hired at the
psychiatric hospital
just out of high school.
And I worked my way
up and became the head
of security for the last
seven years before, you know,
the incident.
What incident are
you talking about?
Thomas was skinny, skinny
and sickly, malnourished.
He was easy to restrain
most of the time.
And then that one night,
Thomas killed his orderly.
Busted out of his room and
made it out to the lobby.
He almost escaped.
But I grabbed him.
He was so strong.
Took the keys from my belt
and stabbed me in the shoulder
with my own keys.
I was able to eventually
get on top of him.
And two other orderlies
were able to help me get him
under control for that night.
Woke up in the hospital.
I was told I was fired, not
allowed back in the building.
And I get my penance
of disability.
Not like the Finches
don't have enough money.
You know, they
started this town.
So the Finches,
who are the Finches?
- Finches.
- Yeah.
Where do you want me to start?
I mean,
at the very beginning
would be great just to kind
of know-- so are they kind of,
like, a wealthy
family in town here?
Oh, they're wealthy.
The Finch family started
this town back in 1872.
They learned that there
was precious metals
and minerals, cobalt,
nickel in the mountains
all around Hollowmere.
They could make even more
money with a mining operation.
So that's what they did.
Bad things started
happening in Hollowmere
The miners started changing.
Some killed their livestock.
Some murdered their
whole families.
We study a lot on the
occult, the demonic.
Did they-- did they unearth
something that was evil?
I don't
know what they did.
But I've heard the
stories of what happened.
The same people that committed
murders and did these things,
apparently, the Finches
noticed that they also
had some special abilities
while they built the orphanage
and those other burnt-up
buildings now that you were at,
and the psychiatric hospital
that I used to work at.
So were people still
affected by these mountains,
even after the mines shut down
Or, if, you know, later on?
I showed up and went to work.
And my job was to keep
the facility secure.
And I did that until
the day I was fired.
What were they doing to people
in the psychiatric hospital?
I don't know what
they were doing.
I know that even as
a head of security,
there were rooms I
wasn't allowed in.
I would hear screams and
blood-curdling yells.
And I still hear 'em.
Skinny Thomas, that
night, he had strength
like no human strength.
He was able to overpower me.
And this guy was
sickly and weak before.
Whatever happened to
him in that room that's
what the Finches were after.
I was fired because I saw
what he could do after.
John, if you don't
mind me asking,
it seems like the entire
town of Hollowmere
has this kind of
sordid past to it.
These terrible things
that have happened here.
Why do people choose
to stay in Hollowmere?
Like, I mean, just
driving into town,
it felt like everybody
was kind of--
What are you trying
to say about Hollowmere?
I'll tell you why we stay
here, because it's our home.
And we're not too
fond of outsiders
like you coming in and talking
about demons and monsters
and all your other
stuff on YouTube
so that the millennials can
sit behind their keyboards,
typing and talking
about Hollowmere
like they know what happened.
They don't know what happened.
You don't know what happened.
And you know what?
I don't got any love
lost for the Finches.
They're-- they're bad people.
But they're better than
people like you and outsiders.
Mm-hmm.
They're
better than people that
come in here,
looking down on us,
acting like we're here
for their amusement.
You know what?
Maybe I should kill
you, cut your belly open
and string your insides
up in my living room
for my Christmas decorations.
John,
I don't think--
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Huh?
I apologize for offending.
I think that we'll
just wrap this in--
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
I think thank you so
much for your time.
Heading out of here?
- I
- think, yeah, I think
- it'd be best for me to go--
- Well.
--and just get on the road.
You might wanna get out
of here before it gets dark.
Mm-hmm.
Why is that?
You don't want the town
cannibals to get a hold of you.
Yeah, I'll head on out.
Are you gonna get me this time--
Before you go, you should
drive out to old hollow drive.
OK.
Up on the top
is the plot where
the Finch's mansion used to be.
But be careful
for the cannibals.
Oh, well.
Yeah, I'll just get
out of your hair.
Thank you for your
interview today.
So I decided to crash
here in the van.
I'm not feeling very good.
And it's probably like 3:00
or 4:00 in the morning.
I don't know.
It's really cold out here.
I pushed Jar in.
I pushed him to fake
some of his videos.
I pushed him to try
to get more followers
and figure out how to do that.
And that made him
go to the island.
It's all my fault. I
pushed him to do it.
And then I was pissed off
when he went to that island
without telling me.
And I'm over here just like, why
am I mad that I have torpedoed
his career by faking things.
And then I push him to make more
episodes and bigger episodes.
And then he goes and does it.
And I'm irritated at
him that he listened
to what I told him to do.
You can't sleep anymore here.
There's one more desert
location I want to hit up.
And then I want to get out
of here because this place
is freaking me out.
Shsss.
I hear something.
What's that?
It feels-- it feels like
something's watching me.
Shsss.
There's something in the bushes.
Do you see this, though?
I'm getting out of here.
I found-- I found something.
Thomas has been a bad.
Tom is a bad boy.
Tom has been bad.
Thomas is a bad boy!
There's a
box here that's tied up.
Why would they tie
up a paper mask?
We have hard drives.
We have film reels,
Polaroid cameras, VHS tapes,
a whole bunch of drawings.
I don't know what
any of this means.
I definitely want to go
through all of this stuff.
But before we get
too far, I definitely
want to get these cameras--
there's a third one--
sent out for development, here.
I know they take a little bit.
Shipped out.
Come on, boot.
I just don't know if these
hard drives are gonna load.
I don't know.
That's the mask that I think
was all-- was all tied up.
I'm seeing things
that I can't unsee.
How is this connected?
I don't understand what this has
to do with Project Leviathan.
What is going on?
What is going on?
What
are you doing?
Life would be so much easier
if you just listen to me!
My baby boy.
My boy.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No!
Boy!
My baby boy.
I'm hearing voices at night.
I can't sleep.
It feels like I'm
losing my mind.
I know it's not real.
I know it's not real.
I just-- I'm hearing voices.
I'm hearing this
singing, this humming.
And I just--
I don't know what
to do about it.
I don't know what to do.
It feels like there's
people watching me.
And I try to sleep, and I just
hear this humming in my head
over and over and over again.
And I just--
I don't know what to do.
My mind just won't
stop thinking.
I'm not used to seeing
such disturbing images.
You know, It's like, you
know, when I produce a show,
it's not like this.
I'm not seeing something
horrific happen. you know,
there's some mystery,
but I know how
the ending is because,
you know, Jared would
come out the other end alive.
The mystery or whatever he was
trying to explore or solve,
you know, wasn't either
real or didn't kill anybody
as far as the people I know.
But when I'm watching this
stuff with this guy, Thomas,
I don't know how the story ends.
I don't know where it goes.
I should have forced him
to leave that island.
I know I told Jared to leave,
but I should have forced him.
I had to call his mom.
I hadn't heard from him.
I had to call his mom
and let her know that I
didn't know where he was.
Brandon, whenever you get
this, I need you to pass
this along to my-- my mom.
Mom, I-- I love you.
That's it.
I love you.
And I know you're always had
my best interest at heart.
And you-- you told
me not to come.
And I think you were right.
I think you were right.
I remember this time you walked
into my room when I was a kid
and you told me that if anything
ever happened to me, if I--
you would crawl into a
hole and you would die.
Then I don't know
what it was, but you
said it just the right time.
You were the one that kept
me from doing stupid things.
I hated feeling
like I couldn't do
something because of a feeling.
And-- and so I would
push the boundaries.
And I think--
I think I've gone too far.
I don't know what
happens after this.
I know there's something very,
very important is happening.
But I don't think it's
happening in this world.
I love you.
We got the photos back.
Let's see what we have on here.
So it looks like they
gave them to us on disk.
Thomas getting beaten, some
sort of fingers getting cut.
There's more Thomas.
Look at that.
There's a few different
masked people.
But who are these other guys?
I don't think these are--
I think these are different
patients that they had.
I think I should get these CDs
imported and take a closer look,
let's see what we got.
This is the bench
that I kept from you.
This.
No.
What would
your parents think?
No way.
Sorry for what?
Where are you?
You're a good boy, Tom.
Thomas, Thomas.
Stop!
Don't!
Don't!
you do what.
It's other late night
going through footage.
I'm very tired.
And I just can't seem
to get myself to sleep.
It's just-- it's a lot to
have to go through and watch
and just watch and
watch and watch
and watch and watch and watch.
They were documenting
all their experiments
that they were
performing on Thomas,
and that they wanted to see
what this pain and torment
was going to bring out of him.
And so they set up cameras
all throughout the compound,
and they filmed him constantly.
What is the point of
Project Leviathan?
What is the point of what
they're trying to do?
Why are they testing, and
why are they doing this?
Like, why?
Why are they just
beating this guy?
I don't know how much
more of this I can take,
but I've got to try
to find an answer.
Not feeling good.
He can kill
us whenever he wants to.
I don't wanna see
these things, man.
I don't wanna see these things.
I can't unsee the
things that I'm seeing.
I never should have
opened the box.
I don't want these
things in my head.
I don't want these
things in my head.
Thomas, so you've been
having trouble getting
along with the other guests.
Why do you think that is?
Thomas is not here.
Who is it
that I'm talking to then?
Barbara.
I normally
speak with Tom.
Thomas, I need to know if
you're capable of getting
along with the
other patients here.
Stop clicking the pen.
Do you want to be part
of our family here or Not
This doesn't need a family.
OK, so who's this guy?
Another patient, it looks like.
It is in my blood.
It is in my blood.
It is in me.
It is in my blood.
Substances in his blood.
It is in my blood.
Substance.
It's the black stuff in the--
is this what he's talking about?
You have to kill me.
You have to remove the creature.
You must take my
blood and kill me.
She comes to me.
She finds me.
Kill me, kill me, kill me,
kill me, kill me, kill me.
Kill me.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
Please, please, please.
I can feel it in my chest.
Oh, yeah!
Kill me.
All right, I'm gonna stay
up and watch more of this.
I think there's a
whole tape of this guy.
I had to
get out of the house
for a bit because
I feel like I was
losing my mind and going crazy.
I came to my favorite coffee
shop here, feeling better today.
I'm feeling awake.
If I was watching so much
of that footage of Thomas
getting beaten, I feel like
it just kind of consumed me.
And I completely forgot
that we found these files.
"Project Leviathan--
Classified Patient Profile."
"Patient PL-098b."
"Grant."
"Subject was discovered
post-suicide attempt with deep
inflicted lacerations
on both wrists,
with erratic speech
about visions being too
strong and seeing too much."
"Black vein syndrome."
"The anomalous
substance is present,
but in lower concentration
than in PL-097X, Shaw."
PL-097X, Shaw.
"Subject experienced
fragments vision"--
my gosh.
I got it.
OK.
"Subject experiences
fragmented visions
of future events with lower
accuracy compared to Shaw."
"Attempts at forced extraction
of the black substance
have yielded partial success."
"Though the substance
rapidly degrades
outside of the living host."
"Project Leviathan may require
continued live specimen
harvesting, either keeping the
hosts of this black substance
alive at facility Theta 12."
The big silos that
I went to where
I found this, that
must have been
where they were keeping them.
Let's see.
OK, Shaw.
"Subject reports
reoccurring hallucinations."
Come on.
Black vein syndrome
is the same thing.
"Foreign black viscous substance
circulates through the subject's
bloodstream.
Black substance is theorized
to be an interdimensional
pathogen or symbiotic entity."
Oh, gosh.
It's burnt.
"Initial field tests indicate
the substance amplifies energy
fluxations within portals,
possibly acting as a key
or stabilizer for the portals."
Barbara Finch was the
doctor experimenting on him.
These are two patients
that were held
at Project Leviathan's, what was
it called, Facility Theta 12.
It seems like they
were there to harvest
this black substance
that was reacting
to the interdimensional portals.
OK.
This is Thomas.
We have Thomas now.
PL-099T, Thomas.
"Subject was acquired as an
infant through undisclosed means
and raised under Project
Leviathan's covert
development program."
Black vein syndrome,
same thing here.
"Dormant until activation.
Unlike other subjects,
the black substance
in Thomas's blood remains
inert until external
triggers were introduced."
That's why they're beating him.
"Subject was exposed to extreme
psychological and physical
trauma to force activation."
"Subject was forced to kill
under controlled conditions,
triggering activation for
the first time at age 19."
"Subject refuses to remove
a custom designed mask,
believing it to be the key
to controlling the dark."
"Readings confirm
a heightened neural
response when mask
is worn, aligned with
black substance activation."
That's why he wears the mask.
"When activated,
the subject displays
abnormal strength and agility
beyond natural human limits."
"Lethality-- subject's combat
abilities emerge only when
a kill-or-be-killed scenario."
"Dr. Barbara Finch, deceased."
Dr. Barbara Finch.
Dr. Barbara Finch, who
was the doctor for Shaw.
"Subject attempted escape
from the Facility Theta 12
during a psychological
breakdown.
Barbara Finch was killed
in the confrontation."
"Subject breached
security level 3
but was wounded
during confrontation.
He remains at large,
though likely weakened."
"Recovery of both the substance
and the mask is a top priority."
So Thomas, Shaw, and Grant were
all subjects held at the Theta
12 facility and were patients of
Dr., what was it, Barbara Finch.
But the only one that had
their blood taken was Grant.
"Attempts at forced extraction
have yielded partial success,
though the substance
rapidly degrades
outside of a living host."
That-- that's what's
in the glass jar.
"Subject PL-113J.
Jared Anderson."
"Jared Anderson is a
YouTube content creator.
Subject illegally entered
project leviathan's
restricted island
under the guise
of exploring an abandoned site.
Surveillance team initially
maintained passive observation,
but biometric scans
indicated traces of the Black
substance in his bloodstream."
So this is saying that Jared
already had the black substance
in his blood.
"Extraction teams
engaged at 8:42 AM.
Upon pursuit, subject exhibited
a sudden and unexpected energy
signature near rift site omega,
an unstable interdimensional
anomaly on the island.
Subject escaped through an
active portal before recovery
units could secure him."
"High-profile anomaly."
"All known associates and online
activity under surveillance
for potential contact."
I told you, they're
already watching me.
"Let's continue
monitoring of Nalu
Island's rift site omega for
signs of potential reentry."
So they think he's going to
come back through on the island.
So what connects them all
and activates their abilities
and has them be able to see
visions of other dimensions
or go in through portals is
this black vein substance.
The black substance in their
veins, black vein syndrome.
And I have his.
If we know that this
black ooze is kind
of like an interdimensional
contaminant of some kind,
something, it needs blood.
And I want to see
if I can get some
of this black goop
out of here and give
it something to feed on.
OK.
So we've got a little drip
of this black substance
of some kind.
OK.
OK.
So I fed it some
of my own blood.
Let's see what happens.
I'll be back.
So it has been three hours
since I added my blood
to the black substance.
And this has grown
exponentially.
Are you seeing this?
Like, it's got substance
compared to, like, the
dried out version here.
This has substance.
So it seems to really feed
off of the host's blood.
I have this theory as
to why it gets activated
at these different
Project Leviathan sites,
because Nalu island is located
near the Bermuda Triangle.
That has been known to have
crazy magnetic interference
on planes and things.
So I think it reacts to magnets.
The location was at Theta 12
or Theta 13 that I went to,
is near mountains.
Mountains have metals
inside them that
have weird magnetic energy.
So I have a magnet here
and I'm going to see.
Well, that definitely reacted.
Wow.
Did you see it grab on to it?
Let's see how far it'll go.
See it reaching?
Wow.
It's definitely
following the magnet.
Wow.
You see that?
It's definitely following it.
You see that?
Whoa.
Not wanting to let
go of me either.
So what I did here is I put
some of that black substance
in a bottle of medical alcohol.
And look, it's become
even more, like, liquidy.
You see that?
It's very liquidy.
And then I'm gonna see how
it reacts to the magnet.
It doesn't seem to.
Whoa!
OK, there we go.
Do you see that?
Whoa, look at that.
That's crazy.
So it's definitely reacting
to magnetic fields.
That's why it activates
near these different sites.
You see how much
it's just when it's--
nothing going on.
Just chill.
And then you bring a magnet into
the equation, and look at that.
It starts activating.
Wow.
It wants to get out.
It wants to get to that.
It doesn't seem to like
that I'm taking it off.
It's not wanting to
come off the magnet.
It's not wanting
to come off of me.
Stop.
OK.
OK.
OK.
It's definitely reacting.
OK.
OK.
It definitely
reacted to my blood,
and it definitely reacted
to magnetic signals.
I think that it
explains why Project
Leviathan has gotten
these areas with
strange magnetic frequencies.
The magnetic frequencies seem to
be what gets the black substance
to respond in some way.
I'm trying to get this
black stuff off me,
and it is just not
wanting to come off.
Like here, coming down my arm.
It's just not
wanting to come off.
I'm gonna keep scrubbing at it.
And hopefully, it'll come off.
I think it wants my blood.
Hot water seems to help.
But it's burning.
Oh, OK.
OK, I gotta get this stuff off.
Hand drawings, faces,
faces, faces, faces.
OK, this is Thomas.
We've got a drawing of Thomas.
I wonder if this is, like,
a self-portrait that he did.
Barbara, I think that's Barbara
Finch that he's talking about.
Other than a self-portrait
of Thomas, a few more masks,
just a lot of eyes and faces.
Got three more tapes
to look through.
A few of them have been blank.
Yeah, this one looks like
it hasn't even been used.
So this tape looks used, and
an SD card just fell out of it.
Let me check these real quick.
Yeah, see, look, that one
looks like it hasn't been used.
Let's check that out.
All right, let's see
what's on this thing.
It's not mounting.
Oh, now it mounts, mounted.
So it's a Canon video
card, it looks like.
Let's see what we got on here.
All right.
Looks a little rough out there.
We'll see what we can get.
It's Jared.
Here we go.
That was wild.
I've heard of all these, like,
stories of Bermuda Triangle,
but it's-- it's--
it's crazy to see it.
Magnetic forests or supernatural
pull, pulling ships to the reef,
pulling planes out of the sky.
Can you feel it?
Do you feel the pull?
This is footage from
Jared on the island.
How-- how does this
make sense, though.
Come back, come
back, come back.
Come back, come back, come back.
Somebody can do
something with these.
Thank you.
You didn't get them from me.
What is this?
OK.
Brandon, pick up.
Brandon, I don't know why
you're not picking up right now.
I hope it's not because
you're mad at me.
I'm sorry that I hung
up on you the other day.
See, look, I--
I can't figure it out.
OK?
I mean, I'm reading
these, and I just don't
understand what they're saying.
I could really, really use
your expertise on this.
I'm-- I'm gonna try.
What the fuck?
Hello.
OK, y'all, I think I know
where I'm getting these
strange injuries from now.
Apparently, I am--
I'm sleepwalking.
I know I laid down in this bed,
and I fell asleep last night.
But this morning I woke up on--
on-- on-- on-- on that coral.
And I'm starting
to remember things.
I-- I have these strange
dreams, very real to me.
This place that's--
everything around me is--
is a part of me.
There's this surge with
the bright white light.
And I'm in this extremely
clean place, stark white.
We know the black
substance was in his blood
before he came to the island.
So it was in his
blood the entire time.
That's why every time he went
to the coral, he passed out.
It was like working
as like a key for him
to jump dimensions
without even knowing it.
And then my reality, my
physical world forms around me
with with my thoughts.
I mean, whatever I ask, whatever
I need, whatever I feel, it's--
it's-- it's there.
I asked for success in
this place, in this dream,
in this realm.
And then-- and I felt the
warmth and the gratitude.
I felt it all.
And it was amazing.
And it-- and when I get
back here, none of it
feels as real as when I'm there.
I feel dead inside.
I couldn't hear the voice.
It was just-- it was in my head.
It was a conversation going.
The nexus, that's
what I kept hearing.
What is this nexus?
Nexus.
The nexus of all things,
of all reality, of all--
of all dimensions.
I know this is the real world.
But the leaves don't sing
quite as brightly here.
The air is not as sweet here.
This is what Project
Leviathan wants.
They want the resources
from this nexus place.
If it's much more beautiful
and abundant in the nexus,
then that is what
Project Leviathan wants.
They want to get there.
And I think they want to
take the resources from it.
--everything than I'm
supposed to have here.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I have no idea how
this card got in there.
I don't know how it got
in with the VHS tapes.
My only guess is
that the dimensions
do not give a crap about time.
And things all
just get mixed up.
But Jared is alive.
Whatever this nexus
place is, I gotta
figure out how to get there.
Just spitballing here.
I'm thinking that if I can get
enough of this black substance
and pair it with a
mask, if that really
is a trigger for
the substance, I'm
wondering if I can go
back to that location,
Theta 12, the silos.
And if I can get through the
portal and get Jared back,
it's definitely worth trying.
And tonight,
Jared's coming back.
All right.
OK, I've kind of performed a
little science experiment here.
I-- I've put some of this.
It's kind of starting to turn
green, green-blackish liquid.
I put it in with
some of my blood.
And as you can see, it
has started to grow.
The black substance is growing.
I didn't know how
much I needed, so I
just kept draining my blood.
And I've got three
containers here.
It's starting to
push its way out.
Black ooze is already
starting to fill.
I've been feeling
pretty lightheaded.
Oh!
Oh!
It's in my blood.
My blood.
I tried.
