Footage is AI generated. The archivist logs what the cameras
catch after everyone's asleep — a figure with a camcorder appears in every
transmission, always in the background, always recording something else.
CASE 077 — UNDERPASS FOLLOWER KNEED-BACKWARDS
source: Witness personal handset, rear camera, handheld at hip height, continuous capture 01:37:42 to 01:43:11 local, single unbroken take.
recovered: One video file surrendered voluntarily; two adjacent files (01:29 and 01:52) absent from the camera roll despite sequential filename indexing. Recovery of deleted thumbnails from local cache yielded partial frames consistent with the same underpass at differing exposures.
Subject is a recurring uploader logged in the archive under prior incidents at three separate transit substructures within the 9th Street corridor. Cellular ping data situates the handset at the north mouth of the underpass at 01:39:58 and at the south mouth at 01:42:44, consistent with a steady walking pace and with the caption's stated entry rationale.
Ambient audio recovered from a municipal traffic sensor mounted on the overpass above registers a sodium ballast fault at 01:38:11, producing the flicker cycle visible on the tunnel ceiling for the duration of the clip. The same sensor logs no pedestrian ingress at the north mouth between 01:37:20 and 01:44:00 other than the witness. The figure framed in the tunnel mouth is not accounted for by any municipal feed.
Within the clip window, the figure's posture and position are to be treated as fixed evidence: coat static, knees inverted, feet oriented toward the entrance the witness has already passed. No frame of the recovered file shows the figure advancing, retreating, or shifting weight. The plastic bag transiting its ankles is confirmed by wind data (northwest gust 01:41:07) and casts a shadow the figure does not.
Of note: at 01:40:52, in the reflective standing water two meters ahead of the lens, a secondary silhouette is faintly resolvable at the upper right of the puddle, hunched, holding a boxlike object at shoulder height oriented toward the tunnel interior. The silhouette does not correspond to any surface within the tunnel geometry. It is not the subject. It is not holding a phone.
Witness exited the south mouth and reached a residence at 02:11. A follow-up post was drafted at 03:02 and deleted at 03:04; recovery of that draft is ongoing and will not be appended to this file at the present clearance tier. Prior 9th Street corridor material remains under separate seal.
on-frame device clocks appear as recovered; the archive does not correct them.
