Hello everyone. This is Brian and thank you for tuning in on today’s feature of “Lost Tapes”. Today, we will be playing the lost podcast episode of Sara Murphy’s series, “Nightly Terrors”. An underground conspiracy theorist podcast at the time, all files have been deleted from existence on the same day of Sara’s tragic demise. The theory so far is that every person who speaks about this topic suffers a tragic and mysterious demise very soon after. As my loyal followers know, as much as I am interested in these conversations, I am a proud skeptic here to put it to the test! How exactly all episodes have been destroyed, has been a complete and utter mystery; however, through some miracle, one of the members of our team, Jackson, recently found this tape through a thorough search in Indonesia. We will now be playing the episode, which may be the only existing tape of the only existing episode of the podcast. May Sara Murphy rest in peace.

Throughout the years of humanity’s existence, there has always been the quintessential fear of the dark. There has always been something so eerie and uncomfortable about being unable to sleep due to the unrelenting suspicion that someone or something is watching you through the abyss of your room, the unlit street, the cowering alleyway.
Researchers commonly theorize how this irrational fear could be stemmed from our ancestor’s struggle with seeing enemies approach at night, or being attacked during sleep. This makes perfect sense of course- warring nations understanding that the perfect time to attack would be at night, nocturnal creatures being wide awake during your weakest, or simply not being alert enough to hear the quiet steps of the mountain lion treading oh-so quietly towards you.
That does not explain why our very first ancestors were scared. The ones who did not have stories being told by their grandparents because they WERE the grandparents. The ones who were still figuring out what language was, who only knew to hunt, sleep, and eat, who did not even comprehend fear.
Why were they scared? I’m Sara Murphy, here to talk about it.
As a popular fan of horror and conspiracy forums, as you all know, this specific theory caught my eye when I saw it in a journal that a family friend of mine wrote recently. The thing that captivated me the most, however? That family friend passed away 2 days after I read it. I believe that it is now my duty, and also my pleasure, to be able to share this with you all. May they rest in peace.
As I mentioned before, there has always been a deep-rooted fear of darkness that has existed for years- but where does that originate from?
Well, let’s dive deeper into a fear of darkness. If you really think about it, a fear of darkness isn’t necessarily a fear of darkness— it is a fear of being alone in darkness. When people are alone on a gloomy night with a friend, they aren’t necessarily afraid, are they? No, because they know that they have someone else with them. So, then this fear is about being alone in darkness- not being in the dark. But then, let’s dive even deeper. Let’s say that you’re a little kid who sneaked into the living room while your parents were watching a horror movie and saw this really scary monster— gross, ugly, big, sharp teeth, claws- all the stuff. Then, you head to bed, and your mom turns off the light, but you have this aching fear that someone is in your closet or under your bed. You’re scared to close your eyes in case this big old monster comes in and eats you. Now, that begs the question: is the fear of being alone in darkness, or not being alone in the dark?
Now, let’s get into this theory. Everyone talks about the first humans- Adam and Eve, whatever you call them. There was a period of civilization that did not know about all the dangerous plants and animals going after them, disease, war- they did not know about these things. You would assume that they would sleep peacefully every night, not a worry in the world, right? A recent study from Yale done a couple of years ago by Dr. Stanley Richards in 1978 theorizes how there’s one innate fear that all children have from birth- being alone. They’re fine seeing weird stuff, heights— they have no idea how the world works. Yet, the minute they figure out they’re alone without their mom or anyone there? God, they are crying so hard. This theory states that the very first humans were the exact same way- but why?
I am gonna quote this straight from the theory now- “There is a being so much older than any creature on Earth, older than we can comprehend, as old as God, that all beings have an innate fear of. It is constantly watching every waking second of the day and it will do absolutely nothing but watch, and its only desire is to destroy. There is absolutely no evidence or proof of its existence because it will destroy any and all of it- it does not want a soul to know about it. Yet, somehow, somewhere in the very being of humanity, something is warning us that it is there and it is waiting to destruct absolutely everything until there is nothing left. There is nothing we can do”.
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”

Wow, talk about spooky! So, Brian here again! As you guys may have noticed, that last line that kept repeating-
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
Um- okay! Ha, uh, I don’t know what that was! I’m guessing Jackson, my sound guy was playing a little joke. Jackson, stop goofing around!
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
Okay, Jackson, I’m serious! We gotta get back to my point. So, as I said, that line, apparently, was not edited by Sara. Some kind of weird glitch happened during the episode, causing that to repeat. It went on like that again for another 20 minutes until the last line just said “there is nothing” and it was cut off. Weird! Now, as a skeptic, I honestly think that it’s probably a coincidence, or someone like Jackson over here just wanted to play a prank on Sara— or maybe she was just lying, may she rest in peace. Yet, that was not the only strange thing that happened. After these messages, I’m going to talk about some of the things that supposedly happened before Sara passed away.
Uh, Jackson, why is it still recording? Can you hear me, is my mic off or something?
Jackson?
God, Jackson, I swear to God are you on your phone again? I am coming up there right now and I swear to God if you are on your pho-
Oh my God.
Oh my God, oh my God, Jackson, are you okay, can you hear me? Jackson wake up, get up, I’m here-
Who are you?
What are you doing here, this is a closed set, how did you-
What are you.
Please, I have a family. I don’t want to die, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please, I won’t tell anyone, I-
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
“There is nothing we can do.”
