    Don’t Open After 11:43

    When my mother left me alone in our old farmhouse, I thought the worst part would be the silence. Then came three slow knocks at the front door. A strange girl on the porch warned me not to let her know I’d seen her—and seconds later, I heard my mother calling my name from upstairs, even though she was hours away. What was inside that house knew who I was, and it had been waiting for me to be alone.

    The dark thoughts

    Elias thinks something is wrong with him. He blames the exhaustion. The anxiety. The strange gaps in his thoughts and the way his reflection sometimes feels… delayed. But the truth is far worse—and far older. Because Elias is not alone. Told from the voice inside him, this episode follows the slow, quiet unraveling of a man being watched, studied, and gently reshaped from within. What begins as a whisper becomes influence… then control… as the presence learns how to think, speak, and exist through him. It doesn’t need to take over. It just needs to be accepted. In this episode of Dead Air, a demon doesn’t arrive in darkness—it unfolds in the light… and discovers that the most terrifying place to hide is inside a human mind.

    Before Sunrise

    I got a message at 2:13 a.m. from an unknown number. It told me to forward it to someone before sunrise… or something would come for me if I didn’t. I laughed. Deleted it. Blocked the number. I thought it was nothing. But after that, things started to change. Reflections that didn’t match reality. Movement at the edge of my vision. Footsteps where no one should be. I told myself I was imagining it. Now I’m not so sure. Because whatever sent that message… didn’t stop just because I ignored it. And sunrise is getting closer.

    Don’t Listen Twice

    A podcaster receives an anonymous audio submission with no name, no context, and only one instruction: don’t play it. It should have been ignored like most of the strange files sent in by listeners looking for attention or a scare. But something about this one feels different—too clean, too deliberate, like it was made to be heard by exactly the right person. Against better judgment, it gets played. At first, nothing unusual. Just silence. Then subtle sounds begin to surface in the recording—things that don’t belong in a file meant to be digital. And when the episode is released, the podcaster notices something unsettling: the silence that follows no longer feels empty. It feels occupied. And new recordings keep appearing in the folder that shouldn’t be accessible anymore.

    Don't open your eyes

    It starts with a simple moment—eyes closed under running water. Then everything changes. When the world begins to distort and something unseen creeps closer, she’s forced to question what’s real… and what she might have already let in. A dark psychological horror where fear doesn’t come from the outside— but from the moment you realize it was never just you.

    The Third Knock

    A late-night knock at the door should be easy to ignore—until it starts happening every night at exactly 2:17 AM. At first, it’s just a sound. Then a shadow. Then something far worse. As reality begins to slip, one man discovers that whatever is knocking isn’t outside his door… it’s trying to get in from somewhere much closer. And when the third knock comes, there may be no way to stop what’s already inside.

    Dead Air

    Chanett and Jake sit down to record the very first episode of their new horror podcast. What begins as playful banter and a simple story about strange transmissions quickly turns into something neither of them can explain. The recording starts before they press play. Voices speak ahead of them. Devices begin streaming an episode that hasn’t been finished. And as listeners around the world report hearing the same signal, one terrifying truth becomes clear: They were never recording the podcast. The podcast was recording them.
