The only known photo of an ADF-6 shadow person

Current Whereabouts: ADF-6 is reportedly still active in Jess Lee’s home as of 05/Oct/2015. Jess Lee reports that the entity has become a normal fixture in his and his family’s lives. Jess Lee has shown a particular curiosity about us and our operations, whether we shall utilize it or not, which we shall see.

Description: ADF-2 manifests as a collection of paranormal phenomena associated with the Lee Family Home. ADF-2 phenomena consist of the appearance of shadow people, usually taking the form of a tall man, items moving on their own, and the Lee family suffering from vivid nightmares. The phenomenon was first uncovered when Jess Lee, the son of respected researcher Dr. Alexander Lee, moved into his father’s family house after his passing in 2015. The phenomenon began when Jess reported having suffered from the same terrible recurring dream. The dream in question was reported on by Jess Lee as starting with him in a field of wheat; he remembered feeling calm and at peace. He then stated he would stand up and see a small house in the middle of the field, which he would then walk towards. Eventually, he would enter the house only to hear an ear-piercing sound that he described as “Unbearable,” and he would wake up in a panic.

Jess Lee

ADF-2 began its manifestations since the family moved into the house, after the nightmares, which, according to Jess Lee, have not subsided as of yet. The family reported chairs and objects being moved around, appearing in spots where they weren’t originally located. I myself had witnessed this phenomenon when staying overnight in the Lee family's house. Over the past few weeks, the anomalous activities had escalated. Shadow people started appearing around the house, more particularly watching the family as they slept. Jess Lee’s wife, Sarah Lee, noted that she woke up with one of these shadowy apparitions hanging directly over her face. These apparitions were unable to be caught on camera by conventional means; however, a night vision camera had very limited success. Jess Lee’s daughter, Lilly “Ruby” Lee, reported feeling her leg being tugged when she was trying to sleep, keeping her awake for days on end.

During our research, we had to identify the point of manifestation through emotional testing on each family member (see Research Logs). We diagnosed Jess Lee as the point of manifestation. After that, we brought Jess Lee in for a special interview to get to the root cause.

Log One:
Introduction Interview with Jess Lee

Interviewer: Dr. Mikhil Crikia

Interviewee: Jess Lee

Crikia: Hello, Mr. Lee—

Jess: [Wincing] Jess… please, Just Jess….

Crikia: Alright, Mr. Jess, can you tell me a little more about what you're experiencing?

Jess: [Sigh] It all just kinda started, man… I- I- I don’t know…

Crikia: How does all this make you feel?

Jess: … It’s like… Nostalgic?

Crikia: Nostalgic?

Jess: It’s hard to explain, but… there’s something about all this that feels a tad… Nostalgic… all this, man… its weighing hard on me.

Crikia: So, Jess… when you say “all this,” can you walk me through what actually started happening?

Jess: Yeah, uh… right, so it began with the dreams. Same one, every night. I’m in this wheat field… tall, golden, it’s like the kind of place you’d see on a postcard. There’s this little breeze that moves through it, sounds kinda like whispering if you listen long enough. It’s peaceful, almost too peaceful, you know?

Crikia: And what happens next?

Jess: I stand up… I always start sitting down for some reason… and I see this house out there. Tiny thing. Looks like it’s been there forever. Kinda reminds me of my dad’s old place before he redid the roof. I start walking toward it, but… I never reach it. The closer I get, the more it sort of… stretches away from me. Like the field’s pulling me back.

Crikia: And then?

Jess: Then I hear it. The sound. It’s… hell, really an apt comparison if I'm being honest. Like feedback from a busted mic, but it’s inside my skull. It hits me right when I reach the door. Always the same moment. It’s so damn loud I wake up sweating, sometimes yelling. Sarah says I scare her half to death when it happens.

Crikia: Has this dream occurred every night since you moved into your father’s house?

Jess: Just about. When I wake up, things around the house would be… off.

Crikia: Off how?

Jess: Chairs moved. Doors open that I know I shut. Stuff goes missing and then shows up in weird places. Like [laughs nervously] my car keys once turned up in the freezer. I swear I didn’t put them there.

Crikia: Have you witnessed any visual phenomena?

Jess: Yeah. Yeah, that’s the part I hate talking about. Shadows. I’ll wake up and one of ’em is just… standing there. Watching.

Crikia: Standing where, exactly?

Jess: Right by the doorway, mostly. Once it was at the foot of the bed. Sarah saw it too that night. She woke me up screaming. I turned on the lamp and then poof! It’s gone.

Crikia: You’re certain it wasn’t a dream?

Jess: I thought it was, at first. But then stuff started happening when I was awake. Like… we’ve got this old hallway mirror, right? Came with the house. I was passing by one evening and saw something behind me… nothing. But in the mirror, it’s still there, just tilting its head at me. I damn near broke the thing.

Crikia: [Pauses to write] When you say it tilts its head?

Jess: Like it’s curious. That’s what gets me. It’s not angry, not even threatening, most of the time. Just watching. Like it’s studying me.

Crikia: Do you feel… connected to it somehow?

Jess: Maybe? That’s the weird part. I’m scared, but… part of me feels like I know it. Like it’s been here longer than me. Maybe it was here when my dad was alive. Maybe it’s him.

Crikia: You believe this entity could be related to your father?

Jess: I don’t know, Doc. My dad was into some strange research stuff. Never told us what it was. Always locked in his study, writing. When he died and we moved back here, I found his journals.. full of symbols, diagrams, stuff I can’t make sense of. And then…

Crikia: You still have those journals?

Jess: Yeah. Locked them in the basement. I don’t go down there anymore. Not after what I saw.

Crikia: What did you see?

Jess: Something moved in the corner. Tall, same shape. Only this time… it wasn’t just a shadow. It had eyes. Two pinpoints of light, red as hell. I ran. Haven’t gone down since.

Crikia: [Quietly] I see. And how is your family coping with all this?

Jess: Sarah tries to keep it together for Ruby’s sake, but she’s scared. Ruby’s been saying weird things too… stuff about a man with no mouth. She’s three, Doc. How the hell does she come up with that?

Crikia: Children can sense emotional changes in their environment. They often express fear through imagination.

Jess: Maybe. But sometimes, she’ll point at the hallway and wave. Like she’s saying hi to somebody. When I ask who, she says, “It." Creepy as hell…

Crikia: And do you… Talk to it?

Jess: …Sometimes….

Crikia: What do you say?

Jess: Just… I don’t know. I ask what it wants. But it never answers. It just stands there.

Crikia: Hmm…

Jess: Yeah…

Crikia: [Softly] Alright. We’ll continue another time. Thank you for being honest.

Jess: Sure thing, Doc. Just… if you come by the house, don’t go near the basement.

Interview with Sarah Lee

Interviewer: Dr. Mikhil Crikia

Interviewee: Sarah Lee

Crikia: Mrs. Lee, thank you for agreeing to sit down with me.

Sarah: Let’s just get this over with. I’ve said everything I could to your team already.

Crikia: I understand. But I’d like to go over some of it personally for the record.

Sarah: [Crosses arms] Fine.

Crikia: When did you first notice something unusual happening in the house?

Sarah: The first thing that made me realize it wasn’t just in Jess’s head? About a month after we moved in. I woke up in the middle of the night like… 3:17? Something like that. Because I felt someone standing over me. You know when you wake up and your brain’s still foggy, but you feel someone there? That heavy sort of pressure in the room?

Crikia: Yes, that’s a common report in manifestations of—

Sarah: Don’t say it like that… “Common report.” Like it’s a condition or something… It wasn’t some vague feeling, Doctor. I saw it. There was a man! A shadow… creature… thing! It was a fucking… thing in my house! Over my head, watching me sleep!

Crikia: Did the figure move?

Sarah: …I don't remember… After I saw it, I screamed… loudly, woke up Jess…

Crikia: Did Jess see anything that night?

Sarah: No. He said I probably dreamed it, but he was shaking too… He never admits when he’s scared. I know him better than that. He’s been different ever since… quieter. Sometimes I catch him just standing in the hallway, looking at that old family portrait of his father… he was never fond of him.

Crikia: You’ve mentioned objects moving around. Can you describe that for the record?

Sarah: [Pauses, exhales sharply] You mean the plates flying off the kitchen counter? The chairs scraping across the floor in the middle of the night? Or the door to our daughter’s room slamming shut by itself? Pick one, Doctor, because it’s been all of the above… like something out of Poltergeist…

Crikia: …The movie?

Sarah: I mean, that’s the best way I can describe it, yes… [Sighs] My daughter says she saw it… it’s been getting worse…

Crikia: Worse in what way?

Sarah: I woke up one night to it… reaching in my daughter’s room… I threw a lamp at it, but it didn’t hurt it, it’s… it really is like a shadow.

Crikia: That must be difficult to process as a mother.

Sarah: The worst part of it is Jess… the way he talks about it, like it’s some old friend.

Crikia: You believe Jess is connected to the activity?

Sarah: Ugh, I don't know, maybe… he’s just… I… I just want it to stop… he hasn’t been sleeping because of that stupid dream and the field and the house and all that stuff…

Crikia: [Pauses, makes a note] And you haven’t experienced the same dream yourself?

Sarah: No. Thank God.

Crikia: You sound… angry.

Sarah: Damn right I am. I didn’t sign up for this. I'm a low-income realtor!

Crikia: I understand your frustration, Mrs. Lee—

Sarah: No, you don’t! Write this in your notes… no matter what happens in your little investigation, we're moving in about a week…

Crikia: [Quietly] Duly noted.

Sarah: Good. Now, if you’re done, I need to pick up my daughter from school.

Crikia: Of course. Thank you, Mrs. Lee.

Dr. Alexander Lee.

Interview with Lilly “Ruby” Lee

Interviewer: Dr. Mikhil Crikia

Interviewee: Lilly “Ruby” Lee

Crikia: Hi, Ruby. My name is Mikhil. Do you remember me from the other day?

Ruby: [Giggles] You’re the man with the funny hair.

Crikia: [Smiles] Yes, that’s me. My hair is pretty funny, huh?

Ruby: It goes boing-boing when you move your head!

Crikia: [Laughs softly] That’s true. Can I ask you some questions, Ruby? Just talk with me a little bit?

Ruby: Mhm. But I can have my bear, right?

Crikia: Of course. Mr. Bear can sit right here beside you.

Ruby: His name’s Mr. Sparkles. He’s not just a bear. He can roar and eat bad guys.

Crikia: Oh, wow. Sounds like Mr. Sparkles keeps you safe.

Ruby: He does! He bites monsters. [Growls softly] Rawr!

Crikia: [Encouragingly] That’s a good roar. So, Ruby… your mommy and daddy said sometimes you get scared at night. Is that right?

Ruby: Mhm. Sometimes.

Crikia: Why?

Ruby: Then the shadow man comes.

Crikia: The shadow man? What does he look like?

Ruby: [Thinks for a moment] He looks like… like Daddy’s coat. When it’s hanging on the door. But he moves. And he’s big. He doesn’t have a mouth.

Crikia: No mouth?

Ruby: Uh-uh. But he talks funny. Like sssshhhhh. Like the box thingy people talk out of.

Crikia: You mean a radio?

Ruby: Yes like radio!

Crikia: I see. And does he talk to you?

Ruby: No… I usually just stay still when he comes.

Crikia: Hmm… [Writes Notes].

Ruby: Mommy says he’s just a dream. But Mommy cries sometimes. I think she sees him too.

Crikia: [Gentle pause] Do you see him only at night, Ruby?

Ruby: Mhm. But sometimes… sometimes I see him in the hallway. When Daddy’s looking at the picture.

Crikia: The picture of your grandpa?

Ruby: The one with the big gold frame! He's a big meanie.

Crikia: Who?

Ruby: My grandpa! He's dead now…

Crika: Ahem… yes, that's certainly a blunt way to put it. Who told you he's mean?

Ruby: It.

Crika: Who is it?

Ruby: It!

Crikia: Right.

Ruby: Wanna hear something cool?

Crikia: Sure.

Ruby: I'm Three! But almost five. Mommy says no, but I am.

Crikia: [Smiling] Three and almost five, huh.

Ruby: When I’m five, Daddy says I can have a dog. I’m gonna name him… Pancake! [Laughs loudly]

Crikia: Pancake?

Ruby: And Pancake will bark at It so they go away! Woof woof! [Imitates barking]

Crikia: Hmm…

Ruby: Mhm. Can I draw now?

Crikia: Sure

Ruby: [Begins scribbling on paper] This is Mr. Sparkles, and this is Mommy, and this is Daddy, and that’s it?

Crikia: The shadow man?

Ruby: [Nods] He’s hiding behind Daddy. See? [Points to dark scribble overlapping stick figure]

Crikia: I see… That’s a very good drawing, Ruby.

Ruby: He’s watching me draw right now.

Crikia: [Tenses] Is he?

Ruby: [Pauses] …He’s gone now.

Crikia: Okay. Thank you for sharing that with me, Ruby. You did a very good job today.

Ruby: Do I get a sticker?

Log Five:
We’ve been able to prove that the events happening within this household are, in fact, an anomalous event. We placed cameras all throughout the house, and we’ve captured plates moving, chairs moving on their own. The only thing that we haven’t been able to capture in detail is the shadow people, although the family members on our cameras do express a form of shock. Our infrared cameras, which we normally use, have been unable to capture the shadow people phenomenon. Usually, shadow people leave a distinct heat signature, most commonly below or above the normal temperature of the environment they’re in. In this instance, they appear neither on the infrared cameras nor on our normal cameras. However, we were able to have limited success with night vision cameras, where we were actually able to capture a photo of one. I will submit it to the report, although that was the only picture we were able to report.

We did go into the basement, and despite Jess’s warnings, we found nothing of note other than the journal. After reading some excerpts from it, we can confirm that Jess is ready. His wife has shown reservations about living in this house, so let’s give him an alternative. I will approach and give him an offer… an offer he can’t refuse.
