    Shadows of the Fort and Facility 112

    This collection of horror stories weaves together multiple unsettling narratives centered on secretive locations, otherworldly entities, and escalating psychological dread. One story follows a security guard stationed at a hidden research facility, where a gigantic, hypnotic moth-like being slowly warps the minds and bodies of those assigned to contain it. Another focuses on a tormented artist whose paintings of disasters mysteriously predict future tragedies, condemning him to watch events unfold exactly as he has depicted them.A third narrative, framed through recovered journal entries, recounts a 1950s desert expedition that stumbles upon an ancient stronghold inhabited by grotesquely transformed soldiers bound to a demonic force. The final story follows a park ranger struggling to survive in a forest governed by irrational, deadly rules, enforced by an unseen and merciless presence.Together, these accounts explore themes of inescapable destiny, the erosion of identity, and the fatal cost of confronting forces beyond human understanding.

    The Hunter That Uses Compassion

    A volunteer joins a mountain search and rescue team and is drawn into a terrifying supernatural reality while searching for a missing child. Under the guidance of a seasoned rescuer named Riker, the narrator learns that the girl is not human but a predatory entity that weaponizes compassion, mimicking lost children to lure rescuers into the wilderness. The creature imitates voices, appearances, and behaviors with disturbing accuracy, leading its victims into deadly ambushes hidden deep in the forest. When Riker sacrifices himself to save the narrator, the entity ultimately consumes and impersonates him, proving its ability to evolve through its kills. The story ends with the narrator taking up Riker’s equipment and mission, returning to the mountains to hunt the monster alone. The narrative serves as a grim inversion of the instinct to help, portraying empathy itself as the monster’s most effective weapon.

    Trapped Satellite Whispers a Perfect Lie

    A team of contracted cleanup workers is dispatched to a desolate region of Kazakhstan to recover what authorities describe as harmless satellite debris. From the moment they arrive, the mission feels wrong. Their instruments pick up a human voice echoing from far beneath the ground—an impossibility, given repeated assurances that the object was unmanned.As excavation begins, the voice grows clearer and more personal. It speaks differently to each member of the crew, exploiting private fears, guilt, and unresolved trauma, slowly turning them against one another. Tension escalates into paranoia, and trust within the team collapses.The truth is revealed when they breach the structure’s core. Inside, they find a dead crew member, sealed within an organic, pod-like chamber that appears almost alive—designed not to restrain, but to invite. It becomes clear the entity was never passive; it was calling, manipulating human psychology to secure a host.Before the survivors can fully comprehend what they’ve uncovered, government forces arrive, locking down the site and erasing all official records of the mission. The survivors are released under threat and silence.The story ends with a chilling implication: the cleanup team was never meant to retrieve wreckage. They were the final test—and whatever was buried in the ground may no longer be contained.

    The Vault

    Revolve around the weight of inheritance and the terrible truths buried within isolated communities. In each tale, ordinary people are forced into unnatural roles they never chose—becoming caretakers of ancient entities, guides for the dead, or guardians of boundaries that should never be crossed. These duties are not symbolic. They are physical, violent, and inescapable. Deep beneath forests and towns, things that should not exist demand offerings. Voices speak where no mouths remain. The land itself warps, tearing holes in reality that bleed into the present. What begins as tradition slowly reveals itself as a prison built by generations afraid to break their promises. The characters soon learn that these roles are inherited, not earned. Families and towns survive only by sacrificing one of their own, binding them to rituals meant to keep far worse horrors contained. Attempts to escape this fate never end well. Defiance does not break the cycle—it accelerates it. In the end, the stories deliver a single, grim truth: destiny cannot be outrun. Those who refuse their inherited burden do not free themselves—they doom everyone around them You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms: https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales Produced by: https://www.podcaistudio.com/

    The Hatch, the Explorer, and the Straightjacketed Horror

    A thrill-seeking narrator obsessed with imitating a famous urban explorer. Driven by obsession, he illegally enters an abandoned hospital in search of a hidden basement hatch. Inside the decaying service wing, he discovers a broken camera, signaling that someone had already gone before him—and likely never returned. As he descends deeper into the flooded, pitch-black lower levels, he encounters a terrifying inhuman figure bound in bandages and a restraint jacket. The creature immediately gives chase through collapsing corridors and rusted stairwells, displaying unnatural speed and strength. Cornered at a ladder, the narrator barely escapes by breaking the supports, sending the creature crashing into the darkness below. Traumatized, he abandons his reckless obsession completely—and the explorer he once idolized is never seen again.

    A young resident of the isolated town of Door Veil, where every person receives a mysterious Box on their 18th birthday that assigns them an irreversible Role for life. Some roles are harmless. Others are feared. The narrator receives the most dreaded one of all: Shepherd—a forgotten position no one speaks about. To understand the task, the narrator is forced to seek out the town’s previous Shepherd, an older, broken recluse who reveals the horrifying truth. The Shepherd’s duty is to protect the town’s Boundary by hunting and destroying Husks—the corrupted, lingering bodies of the dead that refuse to pass on. These exorcisms must be carried out in secret, even when the Husk still wears the face of someone the Shepherd once knew. When the narrator attempts to escape the town, reality itself bends to stop them, proving the Role is inescapable. With the old Shepherd’s death, the responsibility fully transfers. The story ends with the new Shepherd standing alone at the edge of civilization, watching dark figures gather beyond the Boundary—now fully bound to a lonely lifetime of guardianship, violence, and silence.

    Protocols, Anomalies, and the Collapse of Reality

    A series of detached first-person horror accounts, each centered on a disturbing anomaly that fractures reality in a different way. One story follows a lonely night-shift gas station worker who encounters a man trapped in a time loop, endlessly attempting to refuel a charred, nonfunctional car deep in the surrounding forest, unaware that his fate is already sealed. Another narrative unfolds in the isolated town of Elliot’s Hollow, where a mysterious, sorrowful radio transmission begins broadcasting without a known source. As the signal spreads, residents suffer from growing memory erosion and identity blending, slowly losing any sense of who they originally were. The true horror emerges when the phenomenon is revealed to be the result of a hidden, long-running experimental program manipulating the entire population. A third account shifts to a group of teenagers who stumble upon an abandoned building rumored to be empty. Instead, they encounter a grotesque, hyper-aggressive entity, leading to a sudden and brutal confrontation that only one survives. The final segment moves into a fortified, secretive facility, where a prison guard details the relentless routines required to contain supernatural and highly dangerous inmates. Every procedure is precise, every mistake catastrophic. The story emphasizes how thin the barrier truly is between global stability and absolute collapse.
