1 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,919 Speaker 1: From the journal of Private George Gall one hundred and 2 00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:15,039 twelfth Regiment, US Army. These documents were stolen from a 3 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,559 secure vault in Fort Leavenworth Prison, Kansas City, Kansas, in 4 00:00:19,679 --> 00:00:25,079 nineteen seventy four. It is November twelfth, twenty nineteen. At 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,920 the time of this posting, George Gall would be almost 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,600 one hundred years old. Now, the US Army has no 7 00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:36,000 record of George Gall serving in the years in question. 8 00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,679 We believe he is still being held in Fort Leavenworth Prison. 9 00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:47,280 Stamped on the stolen file is Prisoner nine one two 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,520 two five five seven Top Secret. Filed twenty sixth June 11 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,159 nineteen fifty. Note to reader, I have transposed the Journal 12 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,120 entries manuscript to a digital word file. The original manuscript 13 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:13,079 is locked away. Journal Entry twenty four September nineteen forty nine. 14 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,799 We left Kansas in a plane two hours ago. It's 15 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,519 good to be out eleven Worth and breathing free air. 16 00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:25,120 This plane is uncomfortable and cold. We're en route to Europe. 17 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,599 I heard one of the officers say Poland we are 18 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,200 a sorry looking lot of criminals. Everyone on this plane 19 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,040 has been sentenced to death, but the sentences have been 20 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,599 commuted if we agree to this mission. We don't know 21 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,359 what the mission is. I suppose we'll find out soon enough. 22 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,760 It's better than being hung or shot. Though I was 23 00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:55,159 a demolition specialist before I killed that officer. I guess 24 00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:59,879 they need someone to blow something up. Journal entry to 25 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,959 twenty nine September nineteen forty nine. We arrived yesterday at dark. 26 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,000 The town we flew into was big. I heard the 27 00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:13,840 word strosen. There was a lot of traffic as we 28 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,759 left the city into the countryside in a deuce and 29 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,439 a half. We've been told not to ask questions and 30 00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:24,479 not to associate with locals. The truck ride beat us 31 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,199 to death. Some roads are still not repaired from the war. 32 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,479 It took four hours to get here. I don't know 33 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,240 where we are. The place was abandoned by the Poles 34 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,800 years ago, maybe a plague. The Germans built concrete structures 35 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,520 underground in nineteen forty two. This place isn't even on 36 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,840 our maps. But here we are. The old German facility 37 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,560 in the little town are abandoned. We are the first 38 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,960 to arrive. We have Captain Decker, he's in charge of security, 39 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:04,319 Smith who's in charge of something, and Major Flynn he's 40 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,199 in charge of everything, whatever that might be. For the 41 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,080 time being, I have only spoken to Captain Decker. He 42 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,080 wouldn't tell me why we're here or what the mission is. 43 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,800 Fifteen men here. No one answers my questions. Journal entry, 44 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,719 three October nineteen forty nine. More men arrived the last 45 00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:33,400 couple of days. We're close to eighty in total, criminal 46 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:37,319 soldiers and scientists. I don't know what's going on, but 47 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,840 apparently we're waiting for more men and supplies, and then 48 00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:47,479 we go to work. Something feels off. Journal entry, nine 49 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:53,560 October nineteen forty nine. Today Major Flynn gave us a 50 00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:58,719 heads up, not much detail. Seems like we're after something 51 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:03,039 the Germans left behind. We don't know what or where. 52 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:06,719 It's important to them, though so important. They burned the 53 00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:12,240 whole city when we arrived. It's smoldering. Days later the 54 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,040 town had been abandoned, not much of a loss. I've 55 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,360 been speaking with some of the new guys, and most 56 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,720 of them are all sentenced to death. Everyone was sentenced 57 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,519 for different crimes, but we were all about to go 58 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,120 to the wall and be shot when we were offered 59 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,720 this mission. I was assigned to a squad earlier today 60 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:38,399 where a bunch of misfits and deviants. Every man here 61 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:42,639 is a criminal. Most are murderers. I've met a couple 62 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,319 of arsonists. The firebugs give me the creeps. Dutch was 63 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:53,160 named squad leader the High Nco among us. He knew 64 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:55,480 the job well enough, so no one said a word 65 00:04:56,399 --> 00:05:00,480 killers being led by a killer. This should go real well. 66 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:08,040 Journal Entry, eleventh October nineteen forty nine. We finally went 67 00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:12,160 on patrol to the abandoned German structure. It felt like 68 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,360 it was back in the war. The woods around the 69 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:19,399 place looked exactly like Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge. 70 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:23,959 The only difference is the weather. It was freezing back there. 71 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,439 It's not too bad here. We're armed for combat on 72 00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:33,120 this little secret mission. Lots of boom booms and bang bangs. 73 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,560 We loaded up on as many rounds and grenades as 74 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,399 we could carry. Old habits die hard, especially when you've 75 00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,360 been in a fight. I don't know what we're looking 76 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:48,360 for here. As we were leaving camp, I turned around 77 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,720 and gave it a good look. The barracks at the back, 78 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,240 the mess hall next to them, the officers quarters, and 79 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,319 all the shit we brought with us. The place had 80 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,959 grown in the two weeks since we are trenches surround 81 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,519 the town and the concrete structures. Me and Jenkins dropped 82 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,120 inside to check, but we found nothing interesting. The tunnels 83 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,040 were blown out and blocked, so we left. We did 84 00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:19,920 a sweep of the town. Everything was burned. I walked 85 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,720 inside one of the houses that used to be and 86 00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:26,759 I kicked a skeleton. Only thing was left was bones 87 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,040 and a rusty lugar next to a skull. What happened here? 88 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,839 Journal entry, twenty three October nineteen forty nine. Our squad 89 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:43,279 is overseen patrolling around the town for days. We wake up, 90 00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,879 we have some chow, and then patrol the same trails 91 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,720 we were on yesterday. In the days before, we come 92 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,240 back at dusk and we get some chow and repeat 93 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,439 the process. We're not the only ones doing it, though. 94 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,839 I spoke with some men from another squad watching the 95 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,319 west flank. One of them told me that we're searching 96 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,199 for something the Nazis were trying to use for the war, 97 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,199 maybe a weapon. I didn't care. If I hadn't come along, 98 00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:15,879 I'd be a dead man by now. I finally heard 99 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,879 Dutches's story today. He was the only survivor of a 100 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,079 plane crash on D Day. The Germans were looking for survivors, 101 00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,040 so he hid under rubble and the bodies of his 102 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:32,040 buddies for three days. Our boys showed up and he 103 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:37,600 came out. I understand why it affected him mentally. Anyone 104 00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:41,279 else would have killed themselves, but he survived it. I 105 00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,680 don't think I could have done it. Last night I 106 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,279 overheard some doctors talking about something called Project Morphous. They 107 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,040 said that we're close to finding something we aren't supposed 108 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,680 to ask questions. But his days pass. I'm beginning to 109 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:03,920 wonder what exactly are we're looking for. Journal entry, twenty 110 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,160 three November nineteen forty nine. I haven't been on patrol 111 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,959 in weeks. My squad has become manual labor. We've been 112 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,959 digging day in and day out. We eat, sleep, and dig. 113 00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:23,639 Two weeks ago Major Woodward gave the order to start digging. 114 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,519 We haven't stopped since. I wish they would call in 115 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,399 some heavy equipment. This would go a lot faster, but 116 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:34,679 it's the Army where it is. We're searching for the 117 00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:39,159 right bunker. We found several structures, but when we get 118 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,279 close to clearing the dirt away, the structure collapses we 119 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,840 moved to a new site. They've ordered some of the 120 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,360 manual labor into town to begin excavating there. Maybe we'll 121 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:55,279 find what we're looking for. This is killing me. Journal 122 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,440 entry one, December nineteen forty nine. We found round it. 123 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,120 I guess it's the one the scientists have been looking for. 124 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,879 I heard a team in white lab coats went in. 125 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,440 They spent two days hauling stuff out. We weren't allowed 126 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,600 to observe earlier Today me and other demolition guys went 127 00:09:17,639 --> 00:09:21,519 down the hole and placed explosives in the bunker. It 128 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,960 was close to a yard of concrete in the walls 129 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,440 and ceiling. Nothing well placed charges couldn't handle. The whole 130 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,919 valley roared with the explosion, and I must say that 131 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:39,399 after digging like crazy, blowing something up was great. Journal entry, 132 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,360 eighteen December nineteen forty nine. The whole town is slowly 133 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,080 becoming an experiment. We haven't seen any of the scientists 134 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,480 in weeks. They're all down in another bunker inside the town. 135 00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:59,519 We've seen trucks loaded with machinery and mysterious boxes come 136 00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,960 in and out. The genius has figured out that heavy 137 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,960 equipment will make this all go faster. We're a mile 138 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,159 away from the town. But when you lay on your 139 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,519 head on your bed, you can hear the machines. Digging 140 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:19,879 Journal entry twenty four December nineteen forty nine. It's Christmas 141 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,799 and snow's been falling. It's gotten deep outside. Now it's 142 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,799 like the bulls. We're not allowed to send or received letters. 143 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,799 So the major decided to throw a party for everybody. 144 00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:36,240 We have some booze and we're having turkey later today 145 00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:43,159 Journal entry too January nineteen fifty Last night, an earthquake 146 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120 caught us sleeping. We jumped out of our bunks and 147 00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:50,919 looked outside. Lights were coming from the town. A beam 148 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,080 made of colors like a rainbow, was swirling in the sky. 149 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,440 The light grew bright and blinded us. Then it was gone. 150 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,679 I couldn't see much for the rest of the night, 151 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,759 but my eyes are improving. We asked some of the 152 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:08,960 officers about those lights, and the answer we got was 153 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:13,279 what lights. Most of us were deemed paranoid or with 154 00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:17,519 some mental disorder. We were all given meds each day. 155 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,360 None of us took them. I would find little pills 156 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,320 scattered all over made me laugh, but the officers never 157 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,399 said anything about it. What were those lights, Journal entry, 158 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:38,159 five January nineteen fifty. Four days ago, a patrol squad vanished. 159 00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:43,399 We couldn't find them or make radio contact. They were 160 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,320 found late today. Some supply guys stumbled on them. They 161 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,039 were covered with snow and not obvious to anyone. Soon 162 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,799 the corpses were hauled into camp. I looked at them 163 00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:00,279 and they were ripped to pieces. Officers said that was 164 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,600 a pack of wolves. I knew wolves didn't do that 165 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:08,080 to people. No predator rips bodies apart like that without 166 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,960 eating them. A sense of dread washed over the camp, 167 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,879 and morale dropped like a hammer. What had killed all 168 00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:23,039 these men? Journal Entry, seventh January nineteen fifty There have 169 00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:26,840 been more killings around the camp. Everyone is afraid to 170 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:30,159 go on patrol now. We don't know what the hell's 171 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,320 going on. Every night someone disappears, and every day we 172 00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:38,559 find a new corpse somewhere. All of them look the same. 173 00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:44,960 They're eyeless, gutless and tongueless, ripped to pieces. Some are decapitated. 174 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,519 The major has ordered every man to perimeter duty, night watches, 175 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,840 a rotation system. I was on watch every five days. 176 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,360 Now it's every other night. We've dug foxholes and we've 177 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,159 pulled out the big guns. Fifty cows were placed at 178 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,000 fifty yard intervals. We all carried double ammo on watch. 179 00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:14,519 Nothing has approached. I hope it stays quiet. Journal entry, 180 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:20,559 eleven January nineteen fifty. Tonight, we saw it. We saw 181 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:24,440 the thing that's been killing our guys. It was nothing 182 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,720 made by God. It attacked a patrol that was about 183 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,720 to enter the wire. As soon as we saw it, 184 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:36,200 we opened fire. Hundreds of rounds were fired at this thing. 185 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,519 Someone had to have hit it. Every time I closed 186 00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:42,840 my eyes, I still see the fire of the machine 187 00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:46,440 gun lighting up that thing. It had long arms and 188 00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:49,519 short legs, and it was hairless and had dark skin, 189 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,639 and the sound it made it was very strange. We 190 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,159 managed to pull two men away from the attack and 191 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,759 inside the wire. They're in pretty bad shape. One of 192 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:04,320 them is unconscious and the other was bitting on the 193 00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:09,639 arm right now. He's delusional with fever, probably an infection 194 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:14,440 from that animal. He keeps saying over and over, he's coming, 195 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:19,440 He's coming. I couldn't sleep all night. At first light, 196 00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:23,399 my squad left a search for the monster. We didn't 197 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240 find it, but we found the trail of blood it left. 198 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,120 The blood was black like crude oil. What are we 199 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:39,000 doing here? Journal entry twelve January nineteen fifty. Another earthquake 200 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,559 woke us, and, like the last time, a beam of 201 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,559 light turned the night today for a second. I closed 202 00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:50,720 my eyes before it blinded me again. It's good move, Davis. 203 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:55,279 The guy we rescued yesterday, he killed himself. He smashed 204 00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:58,559 his head against the floor of the nursery. I didn't 205 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:03,039 know a human could kill himself that way, Nicholson, he's 206 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,480 the unconscious guy. Well he was gone. He had totally vanished. 207 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,320 Later we found him in the shower. He had cut 208 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,480 his own throat with a knife, and on the shower 209 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:19,279 wall in blood, he had written with his finger, He's coming. 210 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,960 I've been afraid before, but never like this. Journal entry 211 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:31,679 twenty seven January nineteen fifty. Things have gone from bad 212 00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:36,600 to worse. No one patrols at night anymore. When the 213 00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:39,919 sun goes down, we all jump into our foxholes and 214 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960 load our rifles and freeze all night and pray nothing 215 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:48,360 comes for us. But the killing continues. We found two 216 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:52,279 missing men today. Something ripped out their hearts and took 217 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,519 their heads. Their weapons were scraps of twisted metal and 218 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,559 broken wood, covered with a thick red slime. No one 219 00:16:01,679 --> 00:16:05,399 dares to sleep more than three hours a day. Something's 220 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,080 hiding there, and we want to be ready when it comes. 221 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,240 There's a lot of veterans of the war here. Some 222 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,000 thought in the bulge with me, and some fought in 223 00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,840 the Pacific. We've all seen war, and we've faced death 224 00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,840 and seen the horrors. But now we're afraid of something else. 225 00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,960 You can feel it. Men who fought with me say 226 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,080 that we're back in the bulls, and I say that too. 227 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,799 The only difference is instead of fighting Nazis, we're fighting monsters. 228 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:42,159 Journal Entry, thirty January nineteen fifty. We kill one of 229 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,960 those things today. They tried to sneak inside the wire. 230 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:49,879 I was sleeping when the fifty cows woke me up, 231 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,519 and I rushed outside with my rifle. Then the firing ceased. 232 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,039 I saw the guys all staring at something, and I 233 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,519 walked for a closer look. I'm not sure what it was. 234 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,680 The guys fired a hundred bullets at it, but it 235 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,279 was still alive. It was twitching. I emptied the magazine 236 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,200 into it, but it still didn't die, and with a 237 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,119 sudden jerk. It launched at the man closest to it. 238 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:19,039 The monster swiped at the soldier and missed, but he 239 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,400 hit his rifle and cut it in half with his claws. 240 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,440 Someone showed up with a flamethrower. Hell, I didn't know 241 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,559 we even had flamethrowers. We backed up, and he covered 242 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:34,039 that thing with fire. The roar of the flames and 243 00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:37,440 the screeches of that monster as it burned are noises 244 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,759 I will never forget. We got to figure out a 245 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:43,720 way to get out of here. God help us all. 246 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:51,200 Journal entry, six February nineteen fifty. Today they brought one 247 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,000 of the scientists back. He had been working in town 248 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:58,000 in one of the bunkers. I saw him as they 249 00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:02,680 rushed him to the nursery, was missing an arm. Hours 250 00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:05,759 later we heard him scream the same words others had 251 00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:11,240 said before they killed themselves. He's coming, he said. I'm 252 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,039 not staying. To find out who he is, overheard some 253 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,839 of the guys planning to desert. Going with them is 254 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,440 another death sentence. Though if I get caught, where would 255 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,839 I go? If we got away? I'm thinking ahead for 256 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,960 the first time in my life. This place is a nightmare. 257 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,319 I don't know how I'm going to get out of here. 258 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:40,480 Journal entry, eight February nineteen fifty. Major Flynn captured half 259 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:43,880 the deserters three miles from camp. A few hours later, 260 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,319 he sentenced them to death. Everyone was forced to witness 261 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,279 their execution by firing squad. That could have been me 262 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,759 standing there. I was included in a patrol today to 263 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:01,519 find the other deserters. Didn't take long to find them. 264 00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:06,079 We followed their tracks another two miles, and their mangled 265 00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:10,079 corpses were laying close together in a clearing, a giant 266 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,559 red stain in the pristine white forest snow. When is 267 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:22,519 this going to end? Journal entry, twenty February nineteen fifty. 268 00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:29,359 Yesterday forty more men showed up, their regular infantry, not 269 00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:34,039 criminals like us. Their gung hoe to get into a fight. 270 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,799 But they don't realize that they've been sent into hell. 271 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,200 They found out when the Major sent them in squads 272 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:46,359 to patrol different areas around the town. I think the 273 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,960 strategy was if one squad gets taken out by the creature, 274 00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:54,519 the other three would make it. Some made it back alive, 275 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,359 but most didn't. The soldiers who walked back were showing 276 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,240 signs of going mad. Like the others. They will soon 277 00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:06,359 be dead too, by their own hands. And as days 278 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,279 go by, I wonder if God is watching us. I 279 00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:16,759 don't think he is. Journal Entry, twenty two February nineteen fifty. 280 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:22,759 I'm losing my mind in this god forsaken place. Last 281 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:26,759 night I had a dream I was floating somewhere and 282 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:30,559 it was cold, dark and empty. I felt a hand 283 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,640 on my neck and a voice said, I'm coming for 284 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:37,000 you all. I woke up and I had a black 285 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,440 mark on my neck. It was like the black crude 286 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,720 type blood we found weeks before. It wouldn't wash off. 287 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,079 I went for some challenge. Saw that every soldier has 288 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,839 the same mark on his neck. I'm hearing the voice 289 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,599 in my head now. It's coming from the town, coming 290 00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:02,880 from that old bunker. Journal Entry, Tree one April nineteen fifty. 291 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,640 Men are now being killed, one by one. I'm losing 292 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,559 my mind. The demons are roaming the perimeter, killing everyone 293 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,839 they can get their hands on. There's more than one. 294 00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:21,359 We're beginning to lose it. I hear him getting closer 295 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,839 and closer, and I hear the same words, over and 296 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:31,359 over and over. I'm coming. Journal Entry, nine April nineteen fifty. 297 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,079 We found Barnaby dead on the bathroom floor. Today he 298 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:43,759 smashed his head against the wall. I still hear the voice. 299 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,640 Journal entry, twelve April nineteen fifty. There are fewer of 300 00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:56,359 us each day. Captain Decker killed himself this morning. Dutch disappeared. 301 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,559 Last night Powers was in the nursery after something tore 302 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,200 his arm off. I'm losing track of the days. The 303 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,039 major disappeared last night. He went straight into that evil town. 304 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,599 Now there are only a few of us left. We're 305 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,079 running low on AMMO and food. God help us. He's coming. 306 00:22:19,799 --> 00:22:25,440 Journal entry, fifteen April nineteen fifty. There are five of 307 00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:29,240 us left. All the others have killed themselves or have 308 00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:32,680 been killed by the monsters now roaming inside the perimeter. 309 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,240 I'm in hell and God has forsaken me, and I'm 310 00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:40,400 going to die a terrible death. I have no will 311 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:48,640 to fight. It's hopeless. He's coming. Journal entry, eighteen April 312 00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:57,319 nineteen fifty. He came today. Everything is going dark. I'm 313 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:04,480 about to die. Journal entry twenty four June nineteen fifty. 314 00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:09,319 I think I survived. I don't know how I got 315 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,400 here or how long I've been here. This hospital is 316 00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:20,039 bright and white soft sheets on soft beds. No one 317 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,640 is in the room with me. There's an animal smell 318 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,039 in the room. I've smelled it before. I'm not sure 319 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,480 where I can smell the nurses perfume in the hallway. 320 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:37,960 That's weird. I hear English spoken outside the room. Maybe 321 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,640 I'm back in the States. A nurse just peeked in 322 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:47,640 on me and smiled, he's awake, doctor, I heard her say. Later, 323 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,480 three officers entered my room with their assistance. There was 324 00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:55,640 standing room only. They stared at me like looking at 325 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,400 an animal at the zoo. Do you know what you are? 326 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,319 As the senior officer, I'm alive, I said, But do 327 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,119 you know what happened? And what you are? What was 328 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,640 he talking about? I shut my mouth. That's always best 329 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,000 when the questions come from officers. A mirror was on 330 00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:21,200 the night stand, and I raised my hand to reach it, 331 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,079 but restraints held my arm tight to the bed. I 332 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,720 hadn't noticed them where my hand should have been. A 333 00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:33,599 bony gnarled, Oh God, that's not my hand, it's a 334 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,920 monster's hand. What the hell is this? And I struggle 335 00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:43,000 with the restraints. An officer nodded at the nurse she 336 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,839 held the mirror in front of me. That's not me, 337 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,359 I said, that's not me. I was filled with rage, 338 00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:55,720 and I growled at the humans, and I fought against 339 00:24:55,759 --> 00:25:00,279 the restraints. The nurse ran to my side and injected me, 340 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:07,400 and all faded to black again. Final journal entry, twenty 341 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:13,119 five June nineteen fifty I'm back at Leavenworth, in a 342 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,359 cell in solitary. I hear no noises, I'm alone, and 343 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,160 I'm hungry.
