​With an audible cackle, the madman snapped his neck forward and continued to utter that strange language of his. The crimson light in the room grew brighter and more intense, appearing to bathe the entire room in blood. The man’s incantation grew louder and more frenzied with the strange light. Soon, the light was so bright that there were no visible shadows and the entire room was lost in a sea of blood tinged light. Suddenly then there was a cry of a raven followed by the shattering of glass and the entire room went dark.

A single beam of light from a shattered window cut through the darkness and inside it, the camera recorded the scuffle of the filthy man versus an abnormally large raven. The raven pecked at his eyes and raked his talons across the filthy man’s chest, its massive wings buffeting the man with wind and confusion. The tall, filthy man groped across the altar in the darkness behind him. His hand clutched around something and with a triumphant cry, he raised his hand and plunged the bone knife into the raven’s shoulder. The monstrous bird cried out in pain and tore his clawed feet across the man’s throat, tearing it to shreds. With a gurgle, the man fell back – slumped across the altar and died.

The raven landed on the ground, a single stray feather falling across the chest of the dead man. The creature began to croak and cry out in pain as its features began to change. It grew in size and shape as its bones snapped and cracked and popped until it took the form of a nude man with coal black hair and a beady black gaze. With a grunt, he ripped out the bone knife from his bleeding shoulder and let it drop before picking up the camera and raising it to his face. He shut the camera off. 
Sometime later, the police received an anonymous tip to investigate the basement of the Feind House, where they discovered the body of the girl and the filthy man. The case was assigned to Detectives Cooper and Truman. Upon reviewing the tape, Truman – whom was old enough to remember when Old Man Feind died – identified the man as the same man who was supposed to have died sixty years earlier. When Cooper asked why Truman believed this, Truman who was deeply superstitious merely replied “There are more things in heaven and Earth than dreamt of in your philosophies Coop.”
