"So I've been living in this house for about ten years, [static] I guess. My wife moved in four years ago. Everything was, well. . . pretty normal. There weren't any unusual events or occurrences. It was on. . . ."

"It was a year ago actually, May 14th, a Friday. It was around six when my wife and I were walking home. We entered the house, everything was normal. We changed, ate dinner and we went to bed. Everything was normal. Around midnight, my wife and I woke up to the sound of a baby crying. It was very loud and so. . . . odd. I was confused. Then I felt something snap in my mind. Like, I don’t know how to describe it but something happened to me.

"Dahlia told me it was my turn to check on the baby, so I did. I got up and went towards the sound of crying and I entered the room. I picked up the baby and started sending her to sleep. S-She looked adorable. She looked just like my Dahlia. Her pretty brown eyes were looking up at me. [static] She's everything I wished for. A daughter. And she was beautiful. The most lovely thing I've ever seen. I watched and rocked her to sleep. She was just so precious."

"I went back to our room, where Dahlia was sound asleep. At least, I thought she was. As I got closer to the bed, red was seeping through the bedsheets. Blood. Lot's of it. The sheets had turned fully crimson. All I remembered was red. I- I remember crying and screaming and trembling. S-She was dead. J-Just dead. A few minutes ago, she was smiling and awake and now she's DEAD! I just- couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe myself! I couldn't believe anything!"

"I wish it wasn't real but it was. . . . It was real. . . . All of it. . . . I wished I was just dreaming, as if this were all just some stupid nightmare! But it wasn’t. S-Something killed Dahlia. Something did this to us, I just don’t know what but I swear to God— You know what the funny thing is? We never even had a daughter."

"It's- It's crazy. God, I'm crazy. It just- happened. Heck, I don't even know what happened. One minute, I don't have a daughter, next minute I do and my wife is d-dead. I don't understand and I'm afraid I never will. I'm so, so confused. I don't know what that thing was. It just sounded so real. The sound of the crying, I mean."

"My wife and I always wished for a child, [laughing] b-but, I- I didn't think we were gonna get it this way. I just- God, I'm so confused.

"Authorities were obviously baffled with this news and they dropped the case after a few months. I was actually suspected of murder at first but when they went through the CCTV footage I was proven innocent. [static] I cannot comprehend how this happened. I mean, I'm normal. This house is normal. Dahlia's normal. I'm practically nothing, I don't understand how this could happen. We were NORMAL. I DIDN'T DESERVE THIS! DAHLIA DIDN'T DESERVE THIS! SHE DIDN'T-" [inhales sharply] "S-Sorry, I- What I mean is, we're not special, I'm confused why this would happen. . . ."

“I’ve been. . . . hearing it. The baby crying, I always hear it at night. This has been going on for a year now. . . . I don’t think I’ve ever actually slept properly without getting nightmares. I don’t even know how I’m still alive.

“And there’s also the blood. Every time I go into my bedroom, everything suddenly turns red. But it only happens for like, a few seconds. It’s sort of like you blink, then you see blood everywhere, you blink again, it’s gone.

“Every night, I get this dream of D-Dahlia. She keeps trying to tell me something but I just can’t remember. And there’s so much blood all over her. Mouth, face, chest, everywhere. I thought I would get used to this nightmare but it’s– [static] it’s like every time I have this dream, I sort of forget it the next day, and on the next night, I’m reliving the nightmare. It’s so real. And each time I wake up from the nightmare I always hear the sound of a baby crying. I feel like I’m trapped.

“I hate those nightmares. I HATE them. Dahlia, she keeps on screaming at me. I’ve been trying so hard to figure it out, but she keeps on screaming. I just don’t get it. Nothing makes sense anymore. . . ."

Strangely, reports show that the audio file never reached the podcast. Even stranger, James Wellers was declared missing a few days after the recording of the audio. No, not dead. No blood. Just missing.
