All Documents in the Mortuary

I have transcribed diaries, letters, notes, audio and video tapes I found during my play through and sorted them according to relevance. If you have found ones not on the list, please mention them in the comment section below. I will check and update ASAP.

1. Night Shift Database

This database is a collection of all my findings related to the banishment of covetous demons, the history of the demonic, and the tools I have found through my research. Years of travel and piecing together whatever relics remain have been compiled here.

The navigation bar at the top right leads to the following subsections:

• HISTORY OF THE DEMONIC
  
• IDENTIFYING DEMONIC TENANCY
  
• SIGILS OF DEMONIC NAMES
  
• TOOLS TO COMBAT DEMONIC FORCES

Path to Banishment
- Embalm each body with the special reagent from the cabinet.
- Use letting strips from the cabinet to attempt to reveal demonic sigils.
- Compare the found demonic sigils to the demon's names within the NightShift database.
- Build the mark to match the demon's name.
- Pay attention to each body for demonic activity.
- Note that bringing an already embalmed body back out to re-inspect for changes may be necessary.
- Place the mark on the body believed to demonic tenancy.
- Burn that body in the retort before possession takes hold.

1.1 Collection of Demonic History

Since I first experienced contact with demonic entities, I have dedicated myself to researching everything I can to prevent their attempts at possession. My journey has taken me all over the world in search of answers.

I have found that no particular religion has a full understanding of the demonic. While bits and pieces remain true in various interpretations, there is much that is inaccurate or simply unknown. I have compiled what I have found from various archives and relics.

None of this is integral to banishment but this knowledge may still be of use.

ETHENIAN TEXT AND LANGUAGE

Etheninan is a long dead language recorded to be lost in the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Only a handful of religious scribes had knowledge of Ethenian text and its spoken language.

After the fires, what little was known was recorded and hidden to keep safe. Known as ethereal language, it was believed to be the tool of angles to communicate with man. Few have been allowed access to the remaining documents.

ETHEN & ANTAHAIN (DEMONIC ETHEN)

Satan's exile from heaven and his hatred for God drove the creation of the desecrated tongue Antahain. Its records had been combined with the ancient language. Below are all the translations I could find.

Format:
Ethen - Antahain - Translation

Some words simply do not have an Antahain equivalent which is signified by NA.

Cophra - NA - Blood
Cophris - Kohtrish - Blood (of sin)
Vavum - Vavrash - vessel (of flesh)
Va'Cophris - VaKahtrish - Vessel of the blood of sin
Va'Rahos - NA - vessel of holy water
Senis - Sechish - Sin
Fovim - Ferik - Fire (to burn)
Sif - Ferisik - Home
Siftu - Feriskar - House (home of)
Hos - NA - Holy
Coheer - NA - Water
Hosei - Grav - Pray
Derrot - Derrak - Dacay
Shaf - Shadat - shadow
Resev - Teshiv - death
Mimre - Mokre - Imitation (mimic)
Osem - Sechruk - human
Manef - Mukef - Create
Herain - Ukain - arrival
Nayn - Tain - name
Piron - Shont - Fear
Dereim - Koseim - Drink
Vu - ku - You (yours possession)
Ve - ei - Me (mine possession)

Below are recordings I managed to capture of Antahain being spoken from the mouths of the deceased and their translations.

Koseem Kohtrish ku ei
I will drink your blood (of sin)

Grav ukain ei
Pray in my name

Shont Feriskar ei
Fear the arrival of my house

THE HALLS OF HELL

When Satan and his followers fell from grace, he forged from his throne a great hall. In this hall, three houses were built and he gave positions of power to his disciples within them.

These disciples were to covet the souls of all sin and gather them to bring destruction to god's creation on earth. They were given charge of the three great houses within the halls to build and command their armies as archdemons of the devil known to humans as the covetous demons.

THE MARK OF THE THREE

In the mark of the three, the devil's hand is seen holding three fingers up surrounded by the iconography of the different houses.

---

QUARTER LETTING

When the church found someone to be guilty of sin beyond the forgiveness of God, the accused could atone for their sins and re-enter the grace of God by undergoing a cleansing of sin known as quarter letting. A priest would bless the holy blood that remained in the sinner before cutting the wrists and allowing the remaining blood of sin (known as Cophris) to flow freely into an urn.

The blood would be drained until the accused became weak. This weakness was believed to be the body being unburned from the weight of sin. The amount was believed to be approximately a quarter of the sinner's blood.
The Cophris was then burned as the blood was believed to be part human and part demonic.

---

THE LESSER SPIRITS

A demon's powers are limited to that of their making. No one entity is strong enough to break into the world of living on their own and must rely on other spirits to achieve this goal.

The following are various entities whose purpose in the demonic plane is to act as tools to reach beyond the vale. These forces have many uses beyond those of the covetous demons and have appeared around the world where the fabric between the living and the damned is thin.

THE WOMAN IN WHITE

A fleeting manifestation of the house of desolation, this entity has the power to have a more physically influential presence in our world.

A covetous demon will form a bond with this spirit long enough to reach between worlds and perform its desired task be it spying on its victim, attacking, or funneling demonic energies to it to make them more susceptible to possession.

The woman in white is only a partial physical presence. While it can inflict harm to the living, it is limited in its power and will dissipate quickly.

THE SHADOW MAN

A weaker manifestation of the house of immolation, the shadow man is often seen as a guide though it may also be used to spy on the living. A covetous demon may form a bond with this spirit to attempt to influence or confuse its victims.

The shadow man is often seen standing out of the corner of the eye, moving quickly in and out of sight, or lurking in the shadows.

THE MIMIC

The mimic is a weaker manifestation of the house of invidiousness and is used primarily to view the living. The mimic is the embodiment of the devil's envy of humanity.

This manifestation longs to look as human as possible but suffers eternally to only ever be a stiff, disfigured, shell. What the true form of the mimic is behind the shell is unknown.

It has been recorded many times on closed circuit television often viewing the living only to vanish quickly when seen.

1.2 Identifying Demonic Tenancy

While learning the name of the demonic entity is more about waiting, identifying which body is experiencing demonic tenancy requires paying close attention.

While any of the bodies can be manipulated, it is far easier for the entity to control its own vessel. Sudden movements, large or small, can be a sign of tenancy.

If a body appears to be more active than others or strange markings start to appear it may be signs of demonic tenancy. However, the demon is trying its best to remain illusive and may manifest these manipulations on other bodies which is why it is important to take note of which body is experiencing these events. The more events linked to a specific body, the more likely it is to be the chosen vessel.

- The appearance of new markings on the body
- Sudden movements, large or small
- Repeat movements (is one body more active than others)


When a demonic entity is present, the vessel it is occupying may form markings not previously observed. Inspecting a body additional times is important to spotting these.





A body with a demonic inhabitance may display sudden movements. These movements can be as small as a twitch of the fingers or as large as full body manipulation.


[David] Alright. This... working? Yeah. This thing is huge. So, uh... I guess... um... This is David. Raymond, it's feels insane, but... I think you're right. This is happened a few times now, but... Let me see if I can... get in here. (Panting) (Body Twitching Sound) There it is... F*ck... F*CK!!

1.3 Sigils of the Covetous Demons

Each of the covetous demons belong to one of the three houses of service in the halls of satan - The House of Sin. A demon's true name is composed of four sigils of bondage. Below are the three houses and all known covetous demons within them.



*** Note : The sigils of each demon will be randomized each shift.***

1.4 Tools of Expulsion

An entity must be bound to its original vessel and that vessel destroyed in order to stop the process of possession. Throughout my work I have managed to discover and establish a set of tools to bring about banishment of demonic entities.

The occupied body must contain the reagent, the mark must have the correct demonic name, and the mark must be placed on the correct body and burned. Below are all the tools I am aware of and their usage.

• THE MARK
  
• BALEFUL REAGENT
  
• LETTING PARCHMENT

---

THE MARK

The mark is one of two tools used to bind the demon to its chosen vessel. Each slot holds a sigil that represents a part of the demon's name. When all four are placed in the correct configuration, place the completed mark on the vessel believed to have demonic tenancy. The mark will react to the baleful reagent inside, binding the demon to it. Once the demon is bound, burn the body.

UNCOVERING THE DEMONS NAME

The evocation can only be completed once the demon has inscribed the four sigils of its name into our world. They are hidden from us until revealed by the burning of letting parchment. Once all four sigils are discovered, the name of the demon will be known and the mark can be built.

---

BALEFUL REAGENT

The reagent is the second part of the tools used to bind the demon to its chosen vessel. It has a unique ability to react to the mark with the demon's name.

Since it's unknown which body the demon occupies, it is important to add the reagent to all the bodies being embalmed. This ensures that once the mark has been built, any of bodies will be ready to receive it.

The demon will do whatever it can to breed doubt so it is unlikely, though not impossible, that any noticeable change will occur once the mark and reagent are in place. The choice of body and demon must be certain before burning the body.

---

LETTING PARCHMENT

The demonic evocation can only be completed once the demon has inscribed the sigils of its name into our world. They are hidden from us and must be revealed. Letting parchment (or letting strips) are special pages of scripture marked with calling symbols and Ethenian text that will cause the demonic sigils to burn into our world when near.

To use letting parchment, simply hold a strip up. As a demonic sigil is approached, the paper will begin to smolder. The closer the parchment becomes, the more violent the reaction will be and it will burn. When the paper combusts completely, the sigil is revealed and the area must be searched.

2. Mini Cassette Tapes in the Embalming Room

Mini Cassette Tape 1: Night Shift System

[Raymond] The Night Shift database. A computer program combining all my findings into one reference point. The database contains all the information on the process of expulsion, the tools used and most importantly: all the markings of the known demonic names. If you ever forget what to do, replay these tapes or look it up in the database. The collection of demonic names is the most crucial piece to the puzzle. You WILL need this information. My ID card is in my personal -belongings drawer-. On the back is the passcode to access it. Use it.

---

Mini Cassette Tape 2: Tools of Expulsion

[Raymond] To banish a demon to hell, it must be bound to its chosen body and burned. The three objects in this cabinet are your tools.

First: The clay tablet in the center is call a mark. Placing the smaller piece in the correct configuration will spell the demon's name.

Second: The bottles on the top shelf are a special reagent that will react to the mark. Add a bottle to the embalming mixture during the process. When the mark is placed on the correct body with the reagent inside it will force the demon to become bound to it. Pay attention to signs that you have chosen correctly. They can be obvious or extremely subtle. Once you are certain the demon is bound to its vessel. Burn it.

Finally: The pieces of paper on the right are called letting strips. It must inscribe the sigils of its name in our world to begin the evocation. You will need to uncover these sigils to use them. Hold a letting strip up while wandering the mortuary. If it begins to smolder and burn, you're close. When the paper combusts, the sigil has been revealed somewhere in that area. They can be anywhere, so look on walls, under objects, inside furniture. Anywhere. The demon will inscribe its sigils over time to try and hide them so check regularly.

Once you uncover the sigils, use the nightshift database to decide which demon you're dealing with and use that knowledge to create the mark. The steps are simple: add the reagent to the embalming mixture, uncover the sigils, build the mark and place it on the body. Then, when you're certain, burn it in the retort.

Mini Cassette Tape 3: The Process of Possesion

[Raymond] At every moment, the demon is funneling its energy through you. Weakening you, until you are unable to resist. Identifying a demonic entity is a delicate balance. The further you are from possession, the more time you have. The closer you are, the more the demon will make itself known, allowing you the information to guess its name and the body it's bound to.

The only way I've found to tell how far along a possession is on your own is to scribble on a piece of paper. Don't think about it... Just scribble. Look carefully. If you notice anything strange, it's starting to take hold. There's a notepad and a pencil on the desk in the front room. Checking from time to time can give an idea of how long you might have.

3. The Book of Typhon

The Book of Typhon
CONVERSIONS

6 Typhon walked among his disciples and he spoke. He who does not truly let the lord into his heart shall be judged by his sin and destined to serve those who truly believe, for all are assigned to the halls of hell.

7 Abandon God as he has abandoned you. Bring Lucifer into your hearts and revel in his glorious sin for all are damned. There is no hope of God. All are marked for the houses of hell as all are hopelessly lost. You have been left behind.

8 And as he passed. Oneran looked upon Typhon with disgust and said. I will not turn my eye from god. Satan has no dominion over the lord's creation.

9 Typhon looked unto Oneran and said. Pray as you wish. Fall to your knees at this moment and call to God. Perhaps today he will step down from the heavens and all doubt shall vanish.

10 Pray to nothing and behold the truth. I will take from your God's creation the ashes of man for it burns eternal in sinful fire.

11 Typhon held the charred remains of Derod and walked among his disciples spreading his ash upon their flesh. Setting the reeds in his hand ablaze, he said unto Oneran, see now that all are marked in the glory of Satan.

12 Oneran beheld a flash of light upon the skin of each disciple as Typhon passed and from it, he saw a mark burned deep into their flesh. One of three for the houses of hell for we all are destined to serve his higher purpose.

13 And Typhon extended the ashes of Derod to the hands of Oneran and said, bear the forgotten flesh upon your own, ignite its sin, and accept the true God.

4. Notes from Zoey

# 1 (on the door to embalming room)

Rebecca!
One last thing I forgot to give to you. Please grab a pencil from my desk and sign.
Thanks!
- Zoey
P.S. Good luck!

# 2 (Reymond's belonging drawer)

Raymond, I really need a key to the hatch outside.
Cleaner is low and you mentioned having some down there before. I know you don't trust anyone to go down there but having a copy of the key would make things a lot easier for everyone.
- Zoey

# 3 (Rebecca's belonging drawer)

Rebecca. Raymond asked me to take over restocking the rest of the supplies in the embalming room but he's so secretive I feel like I get different instructions every day! Sorry if it's not what you're used to!
- Zoey
P.S. Could you ask him to stop calling me Zoe? No one calls me that.

# 4 (Halloween event)

Raymond,
I know you said not to decorate for Halloween but you need a little fun in your life. I did it anyway and you're just going to have to deal with it!
- Zoey

5. Rebecca's Diaries

Diaries and letter in the hospital hallucination

Diary on the desk

I'm sitting here holding your coin right now. Wondering if I'll ever have one of my own. What would the point even be? Even if one day I'm sitting here holding my own, no matter how many years are printed on it, I would still always have yours in my other hand, never changing, stuck forever. It would always remind me of the life I cut short while I keep going. I can't imagine it.

Diary on bedside table

There isn't a day I don't think about you. Memories will flash into my mind uninvited in a moment of bliss torn down by unimaginable guilt. Nothing they give me helps. I still have your necklace. It's one of the few things they let me keep in here. I'm not sure I can handle having it anymore though. I'm giving it to grandma when she visits next. I want so badly to have that piece of you with me but I'm afraid of it. I don't deserve it.

You told me that when I was little I would put it around your neck every morning as a way to wake you up. I guess kids just like shiny things and annoying their parents. I don't really remember it much. I just remember you being annoyed with me after the hundredth time. But I would give anything to put it around your neck one last time. To see you wake up.

Letter on the bed

I've thought about how I'm going to write this over and over. Paper after paper, thrown away. Then I realized. It doesn't matter. Who's going to read this? Some nurse who will shake their head and move on. Some day, someone will think of me for the last time and I'll be gone like I should be.

Moment after moment I've wasted. I lost you because I was selfish. I never listened and it killed you. I ruined everything all on my own. My one real accomplishment.

I can't do it anymore. I can't stay here pretending I want to be better. The truth is, I've given up. I gave up the moment I killed you. I don't want to be a part of this anymore. I don't want to cause anymore pain.

I'm sorry grandma. I tried. I really did. Please know you were everything to me. You were all I had left and it meant the world to me. You deserve so much more than to worry about what Rebecca is doing to herself now. Life is better without me. I love you. It will be alright.

6. Cassette Tape in the Basement

[Raymond] (Heavy Breathing) This... This is Raymond Delver... I know this will sound crazy. But I believe I'm being possessed. If I am to disappear. Know that it was not of my own free will and that I am a danger to anyone I may encounter. I should be killed on sight. This sounds... this sounds terrible but the woman locked in the basement must also be killed. (Breathing Heavily)

For anyone that may encounter this... If you are experiencing possession. The blood of the possessed will react to the name of the demon present. Injecting the blood of the possessed into a deceased body with demonic tenancy will act as a reagent for revealing possession and form the foundation for binding the demon to the body. Then it can be marked with its name and burned. This should banish the demon. I'm... sorry for what I've had to do. Know that it was only ever done to stop it all.

7. Raymond's Diaries (1966 - 1977)

Two red diaries in the secret room

July 5, 1966
I'm lost. Everything I thought I believed, everything I've been told has been wrong. They came here so certain they could end it. All I've learned is that no religion fully understands the demonic. Every single one has distilled their version of the devil down to simple concepts meant to scare those with no moral compass into behaving. No intention of truly combating this evil. F*cking cowards.

They failed, abandoned me, and left me with no choice but to deal with this myself. I'm tired of being scared. I'm tired of being alone. I've put up with enough of this. I have one new hope left and I'm going to use it to finally start my life. I hope you suffer.

Nov. 1, 1966
School has been so much better. I'm finally doing well again and I'm happy to be back. However, even with life finally being the best it's been, it still eats at me. She was horrible and the worst thing in my life for so long but I still feel it. I suppose it's best for me to be alone for now. At least the dead don't talk anymore.

---

June 14, 1977
This won't work anymore. It's gotten too dangerous and I am far too close to keep doing this. I need another way. There must be a use for these symbols. Everything else seems to be structured that way so it makes sense. If they can be forced out, there must be another way to call them forward before burning them.

Aug. 20, 1977
What little I've been able to find leads me to believe that the four symbols represent different sects of demons. There seems to be a hierarchy here. Three that are subservient to the one. I think these three are the key to what I'm looking for. It's been here the whole time.

Aug. 28, 1977
Going back over all of it, blood and ash have always played a role. It's part of the binding that takes place and should have been obvious to me from the start of this. A symbol of the demon's sect to define it, blood and ash of the possessed to bind it. I should be able to create something with this to send them back. If I could burn them all together... I think I've found another way.

Nov. 3 1977
It's done. It's done and it works. This was the closest I have ever come to hell. It feels sloppy but it works. The symbol of the demon's sect, carved into a plank of wood with blood and ash. Burning these at the same time as the body the demon has chosen will banish it. This is a very dangerous approach but it's better than the alternative. I wouldn't have lasted long. I think it's time I better understand all of this.

8. Raymond's Diary (1983 - 1989)

Red diary in a drawer of working bench in the basement

May 29, 1983
I'm not sure why I've decided to write this. I don't keep journals but it may be the only way I can deal with what's happened. To get my thoughts out. I thought this was over but it's happened to David. I remember so vividly what it looks like.

I don't have any plan here. I just wanted to write.


June 3, 1984
I keep thinking about David. I feel horrible. What he became was terrifying. I remember everything but I haven't seen it in a living person before. I knew in my gut what was happening but I couldn't believe it. It's been almost two decades.

When the body came in, David almost instantly began to become irritable. We both knew something strange was happening but it directly affected him. He felt sick and went home for the day only to return that evening saying that he felt he had to come back and wanted to work. At that point, I couldn't ignore it.

I tried to tell him he was in danger. That this was all real. He insisted on working, became irrational again, and asked to work alone. I again told him what to look for but he dismissed me. I went and bought a camcorder and told him to at least record anything unusual. I wanted to be able to show him once he was in a moment of clarity so that maybe he would allow me to help him but it all happened so fast and was over.


April 3, 1985
I don't know what else to do. I feel helpless. I'm so sorry James.


August 10, 1985
Andrea now.

It won't stop. I don't know what to do. Obviously, not everyone is susceptible. I've learned that much. It makes me want to never hire anyone again but I can't lose the mortuary either. Even if I did close, it would still happen to me eventually.


November 16, 1987
I'm back to writing here again. It's been so long I thought it was over but I guess I've just been lucky. I'm scared. I was hoping this would never happen again but I have a feeling this is only going to happen more. Poor Angela. This is a horrible existence.

I almost fell victim before, it's only a matter of time now until it chooses me. I don't want to be alone but I think there is no escaping what has happened. I will miss you always Maria but it was the right thing to leave you. To keep you safe. I know you would never understand.


February 22, 1989
I tucked this journal away and forgot about it trying to move on. I found it again today and I guess I have been in a horrible place for a while now. I can't live with all this guilt. I feel so alone. I feel so angry at the life that's been taken from me. I stopped my life to take care of her and she brought this in.

I can't blame her. That's not fair. It's not her fault. I have to find a way to stop this myself.

I've just been sitting here huddled in fear hoping this won't happen again. That it won't happen to me. I don't have much money, but I need to start researching this in a real way. I need to take control.

9. Raymond's Diary (1989 - 1990)

Red diary on a cardboard box in the basement

March 27, 1989
I've been working relentlessly and I believe I have made some progress. I haven't pieced together much but I have found enough that has led me to a contact in Egypt. I'm flying out there in a few days to meet and talk about what's been happening.


April 29, 1989
My trip to Egypt was extremely successful I feel. I'm broke now but it was worth it. Mr. Salah is an amazing help. I've come back with mountains of documents and copies of religious texts I had no idea existed. It's changed a lot of what I believe. I'm going to start pouring order these and see what I can piece together. There's something here, I can feel it.


December 8, 1989
I'm so tired and angry. I feel so helpless. I can't do this anymore. Vallery didn't do anything to deserve this. None of them did. I can't bring myself to do it. I'm keeping Vallery here. I can help her. I'm sure of it. I feel like I'm so close to something that can stop this but I don't know what I'm missing.

I've been working on a number of things meant to combat these entities. I have found ways to uncover their sigils, which is promising. I have distilled this down to a science and I know I can find the missing piece. I will help you, Vallery.


January 27, 1990
I hate what I have to do. I have to feed her and care for her even though she is violent and gone. It is far too similar to how this all began and I hate it. God d*mn it, thirty years of this.

I have a theory and I don't like it, but I can't let this happen to anyone else. This has to stop. I have some things I've been working on that I am going to send off to Mr. Salah and get his opinion. If it's a viable method, I'm going to take this head on.

If I can't stop it, I'll keep it at bay.


February 18, 1990
I received some great news from Mr. Salah. I've been fortunate enough to not have another compromised body up to this point but now I need one.

My plan now is to work in the mortuary alone until this happens again. If I can establish myself as a potential conduit and survive the possession using these tools, I think I may be able to take control as well as keep this from happening to others.

I don't know what this means for Vallery. It's the only piece of this I don't know how to live with. But I might have to. Otherwise it's all been for nothing.

10. Letters between Raymond & Mr. Salah

Two letters in a small green box on working bench in the basement

Dear Mr. Salah.

It was a pleasure working with you but I'm sorry to say that I simply can't afford to travel back out to you. I have more questions about the Ethanian translations but I was also hoping you could send over the documents you had shared on quarter letting. Honestly, any documents you could create copies of and send would be extremely helpful.

The package accompanying this letter contains some of the clay carvings I have made in an attempt to create the symbols you shared. I have also designed a holder for them. My hope is to combine the markings and holder to comprise a demonic identifier that will also call the entity to it and bind it there if correct. The silver capsule in the center of the holder contains the ash of burned Cophris and is lined with demonic calling runes.

Based on our conversations. I believe this can react with fresh blood from the possessed.

I wanted to request that you give the contents of this package a look and let me know if this seems like a viable extremely important to me. I wanted to request you please send everything back, including this letter.

All my best,
Raymond

---

Mr. Delver,
It is a great shame I will not be seeing you but I appreciate you sharing this with me as this does seem to provide a reaction and what you have made does make sense. It's a very clever way to identify a specific entity.

However, I am curious as to the reason for the body identification aspect as you would need the blood of the possessed inside the vessel which, I assume, would already be the case and tenancy would be obvious. So I don't really see the value of identifying the vessel. However, the demonic identification and binding aspect of this is fantastic.

Thank you for sharing your work, it's a great help to mine. As you have requested, I have returned everything with this shipment.
With great respect,
Akil

11. Reel-to-Reel Audio Tape

Reel-to-reel audio tape in the secret room



[Audio Warbling]

[Priest] The cord's right there... If you could just hand me that...

[Priest] Thank you.

[Priest 2] What time is it?

[Priest] It is... 10:41

[Raymond] Where should I be for this?

[Priest] Over here is fine. Stay to the side of the room though please.

[Raymond] Is me being here going to... upset anything?

[Priest] No. This is a very unique case and I think I would like you here.

[Priest] Could you help me move this over there?

[Priest 2] (distorted) just one sec...

(Rapid Breathing)

(Breathing Stops)

[Audrey] She's still here...

[Raymond] What was that?

[Priest] Quiet please. Who's still here?

[Audrey] Screaming...

[Priest] Tell me your name.

[Audrey] She can feel her flesh rotting... Always pleading. Begging. Pleading. Begging. Please please please please please. (Laughing)

[Priest] This body does not belong to you.

[Audrey] (Laughing)

[Priest] In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost-

[Audrey] This pitiful flesh is not my prize. The four seals have marked my coming. I claim this prison as the threshold to my glory. I have lingered long and no god, no prayer, will save you... Only one may deliver the glory of my house... Let me out Raymond.

[Raymond] You've taken enough from me! Burn in hell!

[Audrey] She already is!

[Raymond] Good!

[Priest] Quiet! Heavenly father, today is the day of this soul's redemption! Most glorious prince- [Audrey preyed along] of the heavenly armies.

[Audrey & Priest] Saint Michael the archangel, defend us in our battle against principalities and powers against the rulers of this world of darkness.

[Audrey] (Laughing) Oh Raymond... I thought you were smarter than this.

[Priest] In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I command this demonic spirit. Bring the powers assigned to this woman to surface! (Audrey Laughing)

[Audrey] Jesus! Ku masok teshkeh! Erkefkran ku masok eikay. The god of perverts and con men. You need a new shepherd. F*cking sheep.

[Priest] As wax melts before the fire, so the wicked perish at the presence of god. In the name of the holy spirit reveal your name to us!

[Audrey] My name is beyond your knowledge!

[Priest] Hold her down! Place the bible on her! Behold the cross of the lord! Submit to his divine grace and reveal your name!

[Audrey] No human name will avail you.

[Priest] You will release this woman from your wicked grasp!

[Audrey] I will torture this little slut's soul for my pleasure until the day I may claim what is rightfully mine!

[Priest] We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits! All satanic powers, all internal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects! The most high god commands you!

[Audrey] The seals of my calling have long been wrought. You are too late for salvation Raymond! I will have my prize!

[Priest] We drive you from us! Begone Satan! Because there is - No! God!

12. VHS Tape

VHS tape in the secret room





[Raymond] It is... September 3rd... 1987. Video log of any photos and audio recordings... 1967 to 1970.











[Raymond] I've... had some time to process this. It's been about a year now. I thought I loved her. I stayed by her side through all of it. Years of my life just... gone.









[Raymond] I believe the seizure that started all this was a result of its arrival. I think her body couldn't handle the possession and it caused it to shut down.









[Raymond] After the seizure, she would lay in bed most of the day occasionally shuffling to and from various rooms of the house. I would often find her facing a wall or corner in random rooms and have to walk her back to bed.








[Raymond] One day she stopped getting up. She would simply lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Muttering to herself in what I believe now to be a demonic tongue. I think (sigh) that was when I truly lost her. But it made everything easier. I didn't care anymore. I hated her.







[Raymond] After my three years around the body, I now believe I was experiencing early signs of possession myself near the end of 1965.










[Raymond] I remember where things began to feel different. Small things like light headedness, sensitivity to sound, headaches. The littlest things irritated me.









[Raymond] I would find myself snapping back into lucidity in random locations of the house, not remembering where I had been or how much time had passed. It was when the body fell apart in my hands that I realized I had been hallucinating... that I had been missing large chunks of time. Even if a demon is not yet inside, it has amazing power over its victim.





[Raymond] There are a number of symptoms that, looking back, I believe were signs of the possession. The first, but least helpful sign, being the seizure. This alone wouldn't be enough evidence of possession obviously, but it's worth noting.







[Raymond] After this event, she would wander aimlessly mumbling to herself. She would become irrationally angry with me at any attempts to help her.









[Raymond] I began to notice wounds appearing all over. Lacerations, bruises, and unexplained scarification. She stopped eating, drinking, and eventually, gave up all motion.









[Raymond] After the body became fully bedridden... the only movement left was a periodic twitching in the extremities and rapid, shallow breathing. Muttering to itself, it would stare up at the ceiling without blinking. It was around that I observed the eyes had turned yellow and the skin appeared to decay.






[Raymond] All of this was noted with little concern... as I was already deep under its manipulation and I had given up caring.

13. Letter from Raymond

A letter on the computer desk. This item will appear after you get ending 4 or ending 6.



Rebecca,

I understand why you are avoiding me. I would too. Ever since this found me, I have had to push everyone and everything important to me away. I know you know that feeling more than anyone else. There has never been another soul I've shared this with that has survived, and every day I am unsure what I should be doing if what I'm showing you is right or wrong. I want to guide you. I want to be there for you because I've been here, alone, for so long and I know how much it hurts. It's been a very long time since I stopped to think about what this does to someone. I try not to. It's too painful.

Living this way is insidious Rebecca. There's no escaping it. This life is a destructive one. I have done horrible things that will follow me forever. I am so sorry that it's found you too. But there are two of us now. You don't have to be alone. We don't have to be alone. Don't be like me Rebecca. We deal with enough Demons. Don't create new ones to let in.

There are still so many secrets between us and I am so sorry that it has to be that way. I know you won't understand and I know it means you can never trust me. The truth is, I'm a lonely old man and I'm afraid of making the wrong choice.

This life is alienating. It makes you do things you never believed you were capable of and I want to shield you from that. I don't want you to suffer the same fate. Please know that the things I keep inside are for your protection. I would love nothing more than to share them with you but you have already suffered so much and I know how much more suffering there can be. I have to be distant but I won't leave you.

Raymond
