A man went missing while out mountain climbing alone.
Three years later. Three years later, the man’s remains were found in a marshy area and his belongings were recovered, among which was a tape recorder.
On the tape was a recording of the man yelling for help.
The man was apparently injured in some way and was unable to move.
The tape was released to the media, but both the family and police officials were reluctant to release it.
The tape also contained a different message than the call for help.
It was the voice of a man who was very frightened about something.
Apparently something was happening at night.
The man frantically dictated into the tape.
Day 1
“‘At night I hear people’s voices … calling …
In the middle of the night like this… in the middle of nowhere… with no one around…”
Day 2
“Help me… I hear voices.
He comes to me at night.
It’s calling to me from the dark … closer than yesterday …
I’m scared… Please, save me…
I’m so scared, so scared… Somebody help me…”
Day 3
“They`re getting close…
Help…
・・・・・ is scary… It’s getting closer…
Please, save me… Please, save me… Please, save me…
No one…
He’s… he’s… he’s… he’s… he’s… he’s… he’s… he’s scary.
I’ll be right there. Help me.
I can hear…
Please, … he ・・・・ lp.”
Thus the tape is cut there.
Thereafter, the man recorded nothing on the tape.
The police analyzed the tape in detail.
The tape contained only the man’s voice the entire time, and no other suspicious noises.
However, on the third day, at the end of the tape, a different sound was recorded.
It was not the voice of the man in distress, but that of another person.
It was made very close to the recorder.
It was as clear as if it had been whispered in his ear.
“Oi.”
