Don’t Stop for Voices on Dirt Roads - 15 - Underworld Catalog

A field auditor travels along isolated rural routes at twilight when he is struck by a sharp, heavy odor of rot buried under fresh soil, while small lantern lights move with clear intention between the trees at the edge of a dark field. He answers the call of a desperate farmer named Vitor, who reports an inexplicable contamination in the silos, animals refusing to eat, and workers fleeing in terror. Arriving at the warehouse after dark, the protagonist finds an oppressive scene illuminated by a single yellow bulb that sways without wind, attracting frantic moths, and a harsh scraping sound of something heavy dragging itself across the concrete in the dark. The threat hides in a subterranean chamber dug beneath the warehouse floor, a damp and warm pit smelling of wet hair, with support beams covered in deep, vertical scratch marks. At the bottom of the pit dwells a pale creature with excessive joints and an absurd number of teeth that tries to perfectly mimic the voices of known and loved people to force the victim to answer its call. The physical horror reaches its peak when the warehouse loses all lighting and the entity reveals its long limbs and a blind face, covered only by folds of healed skin where the eyes should be, pointing toward the protagonist and whispering in the exact tone of his mother's voice from his childhood.

Every Time I Look, It’s Closer - 14 - Underworld Catalog

A decaying farmhouse sits at the end of a rural dirt road, surrounded by crops and trees that cast long, thin shadows at sunset. Upon returning to his late father's old home to organize his belongings, the protagonist unlocks the doors to an analog photography studio that had remained sealed for years, releasing stagnant air smelling of vinegar, mold, and sour chemicals. Among developing trays and hanging lines under a faint red light, he finds an ordinary photograph from his childhood, posing in front of the barn door. The nightmare comes alive when he notices a tall humanoid silhouette with hunched shoulders hidden in the deep shadows directly behind the boy in the photo. The tension turns to panic as the protagonist realizes that the printed image is physically changing and the ink on the paper moves with every new glance, bringing the creature closer as the haze obscuring its features begins to fade. The entity in the photo displays deep black eyes like burned holes in the paper and an almost human face, bizarrely misaligned as if drawn from memory. As the actual environment of the house cools down until the protagonist can see his own breath in the mirror, the fire of the gas stove refuses to burn the center of the paper, revealing that the boy in the image now has his current adult face, trapped in a chair inside that exact photography studio, accompanied by a desperate warning written on the back: "DON’T LET IT BEHIND."

He Wore My Face to Enter the House - 13 - Underworld Catalog

The horror begins on a deserted dirt road under a moon that feels too bright and too watchful, turning every sound of footsteps into a loud confession crossing the open fields. The protagonist takes a temporary job to help an isolated family at the edge of a deep valley, repairing fences and rooftops on a property surrounded by a suffocating silence. The rural atmosphere quickly turns hostile, marked by a disturbing smell of old metal, damp fur, and rotting leaves, alongside slow, rhythmic tapping against the wooden walls directly beneath the bedroom window. The physical threat is the Watchman, a figure of wrong proportions wearing a coat that, up close, reveals itself to be made of stretched, cured human skin stitched together with thick, scar-like thread. He has long hands with dark, blunt nails, and a face that looks remade and pressed too many times, with eyes that reflect flashlight beams with a sickening, animal shine. The true psychological terror takes form near an old, deactivated stone well swallowed by weeds, where the temperature suddenly drops and a humanoid creature with long limbs emerges from the depths, displaying a distorted, pale, and imperfect copy of the protagonist's own face, begging for help in his exact tone.

Every nightmare begins with a simple mistake. Welcome to the Underworld Catalog, where haunted mirrors, forbidden rituals, strange entities, abandoned roads, and forgotten places hide just beyond reality. Every episode is a chilling first-person horror story about curiosity, fear, and the consequences of crossing the wrong line.
