She replayed it.
Again.
And again.
Every time, she saw the same thing.
Seven Seconds Were Missing
Emily continued watching.
The figure seemed to disappear from the camera’s view.
Then the footage suddenly jumped forward.
Seven seconds were missing.
When the recording started again, the hallway was empty.
The bedroom door was open.
Emily was still asleep.
Nobody else could be seen.
That frightened her more than the figure itself.
She immediately checked the front door and every window in the house.
Everything was locked.
There were no signs of forced entry.
Emily also checked the other security recordings, hoping another camera might explain what happened.
Nothing.
What About the Mark?
The strange mark on Emily’s arm was still visible.
She took several photographs of it and showed them to a doctor.
There was no obvious explanation from the photograph alone, and Emily was advised to keep an eye on it.
