Blackwood Manor
When Liam, a professional sound engineer, takes a job at the remote and famously silent Blackwood Manor, he thinks it's just another gig. But the house is not truly silent.

Dismissing them as the house settling, Liam continues his work, until curiosity leads him to aim his high-tech microphones at the forbidden wing. The sounds he records are not just strange; they are the audio remnants of a horrific event, a song of mourning played over a background of brutal, agonizing screams. Liam flees, but the echoes follow him. He soon discovers that the ghostly sounds have corrupted his own audio files, manifesting as a grotesque, screaming face in the sound wave itself. The silence of Blackwood Manor wasn't an emptiness, but a vessel for horror, and Liam, by listening too closely, has now become the next echo in its terrifying, unending song.
