Entities_042-3C
Nickname: The Window Thing
Danger Ranking: 3.C
First Reported: 1983-03-09 — Connelly, WA

Summary:
Entities 042 is an emaciated humanoid figure observed exclusively through windows. Witnesses describe it as impossibly tall and thin, with limbs that seem to stretch or bend around window frames unnaturally. It never appears when viewed directly or through cameras, only when one looks through a window with their naked eyes. The anomaly is most often encountered in rural homes, motels, or isolated buildings near forests or fields, and always at night.

The entity never knocks or breaks in. It simply stands outside, watching. For hours. Sometimes days. Those who encounter it often report feeling “noticed” in ways they cannot describe. A sense of intense guilt or shame develops after prolonged exposure, usually with no known cause. Victims often begin to avoid windows entirely, or in more severe cases, attempt to board themselves into their homes entirely.

Known Properties:

• Can only be seen through glass windows — not screens, not lenses, and not mirrors.
  
• Appears motionless for hours at a time, then disappears when unobserved.
  
• Leaves no physical trace, though some witnesses report the sound of slow, deliberate breathing on the glass.
  
• Presence induces psychological effects: guilt, paranoia, shame, and insomnia.
  
• Victims claim the entity “remembers them” — in some cases, it appears outside a new residence after relocation.
  
• Some accounts describe the entity gradually appearing closer to the window night after night.
  

Containment Procedure:

• Currently uncontained. A mobile monitoring team has been assigned to repeat encounter zones, especially throughout the Pacific Northwest.
  
• Windows in affected homes are to be boarded and sealed for 72 hours following an encounter.
  
• Subjects who report sightings are to be brought in for observation and psychological screening.
  
• Survivors are never to be housed in residences with large or low windows.
  

Encounters:

1983-03-09 — Connelly, WA: Elderly woman reports a “thin man” outside her kitchen window every night for a week. Neighbors confirm hearing pacing outside her house at 3AM. Disappeared without a trace.

1986-11-02 — Wenatchee, WA: Motel staff report four separate complaints from different rooms — all saw a figure standing outside their window facing the highway. No prints were found in the snow.

1990-12-17 — Flint Ridge, WA: A teacher boarded their entire house with cardboard and duct tape. Repeated in diaries: “It knows what I did.” Disappeared a week later. Window pane found shattered from the inside.

Recommendation:
Do not engage. If the Window Thing appears, leave the building and do not return. Victims must not remain in structures with accessible windows. No contact attempts are authorized — previous results suggest attention may anchor its presence.

It is not trying to break in. It is trying to remember you.
