It’s Halloween night, 1977. You’re in the control booth of WNYC-TV, monitoring audio levels for Night Owls with Jack Delroy. The studio buzzes with last-minute checks—cameras rolling, lights calibrated, the audience seated. Jack, back from a year-long hiatus after his wife’s death, cracks jokes with sidekick Gus. The theme music swells. The red “ON AIR” sign flickers on.

The first guest, psychic Christou, chokes mid-sentence. He vomits black fluid, collapses. Paramedics rush him out. Back on camera, Jack plays it off as a stunt. Then comes parapsychologist June Ross-Mitchell and her subject, 13-year-old Lilly D’Abo—the sole survivor of a Satanic cult massacre. She speaks in a hollow voice about 'Mr. Wriggles.' When June begins a conjuring ritual, Lilly levitates. The playback shows it’s real.

During a commercial break, you hear Leo, the producer, whisper: 'Christou died in the ambulance.' On screen, Carmichael Haig starts a hypnotism demo. Suddenly, everyone sees worms crawling from Gus’s mouth. The footage shows nothing. Then Lilly’s head splits open—glowing like molten rock. She kills Gus. Then June. Carmichael begs for his life before she tears him apart. Jack stares into the camera, whispering, 'I made a deal… under the tall trees…' The set flickers—now it’s empty, decayed, overrun with roots. A ghostly Madeleine stands behind him.

The screen cuts to static. But you’re still hearing audio through your headset. Jack is screaming. And something else is laughing.

Do you report what you saw? Destroy the tapes? Or broadcast the truth to the world?
