Jared recounts a chilling and mysterious experience from the previous night. While reviewing his notes in the quiet of his hotel room, he heard faint music drifting through the air. It started softly, growing louder and more distinct, yet when he looked out the window, the street below was empty—shrouded in mist, devoid of any movement or sound.

Perhaps fatigue was playing tricks on him, or maybe it was “Musical Ear Syndrome,” a phenomenon where the brain invents music in response to silence. But the music he heard was far too intricate and eerie—discordant melodies that felt alien and unsettling, far removed from any tune he could conjure from memory.
