Nickname: The Thing with Your Voice
Danger Ranking: 3E
First Reported: 1986–11–07 — Chelan, WA (Dispatched after multiple emergency calls from a rural residence with no caller present)

Summary:
The Thing with Your Voice is a non-visual, audio-based mimic that specializes in vocal replication. It is never seen directly. Instead, it manifests exclusively through the reproduction of the victim’s own voice—usually coming from nearby rooms, phone calls, or radios that were previously powered off.

Encounters begin subtly: the victim hears their own voice calling them by name, typically from another room, whispering or asking questions in their exact tone and cadence. The mimic never speaks unless alone with the individual it targets, avoiding witnesses and recording equipment.

Over time, the entity’s imitations grow increasingly conversational, often voicing intrusive thoughts, secrets, or suppressed memories in the subject’s own tone. Some victims describe feeling as though they are being narrated or puppeteered. Prolonged exposure has led to severe derealization, insomnia, or self-harm in efforts to “shut it up.”

Known Properties:

• Only mimics the voice of a specific target at a time.
  
• Can manifest through unplugged electronics or from physically impossible locations (e.g., inside walls, drains, etc.).
  
• Voice often contains knowledge only the victim should know.
  
• Unrecordable: attempts to capture the voice result in silence or distortion.
  
• Affected individuals begin to doubt whether their real voice is their own.
  
• Occasionally shifts tone to sound slightly “off”—breathless, dry, or monotone.
  

Containment Procedure:

• Victims of auditory mimicry must be isolated and placed under 72-hour psychological monitoring.
  
• Exposure rooms must be soundproofed and contain no telecommunications equipment.
  
• When investigating suspected presence, agents must travel in pairs and keep open audio channels with command.
  
• Known to be warded off temporarily by white noise and continuous conversation from multiple speakers.
  
• Do not allow a subject to follow the voice, respond to it directly, or attempt to argue with it.
  

Encounters:

• 1986–11–07 — Chelan, WA: Family of three reported “hearing each other in different rooms all night.” Found dehydrated, severely sleep-deprived, and locked in separate closets.
  
• 1987–05–30 — Issaquah, WA: Teenager hospitalized after severing own vocal cords. Scribbled note read: “Now it can’t be me.”
  
• 1990–08–16 — Longview, WA: Research assistant went missing during mimic surveillance. Final words captured by colleague: “Wait, did I just say that?”
  

Recommendation:
Avoid all interaction with the voice. Do not listen, do not reply, and do not follow. Containment is possible with distance and silence, but the psychological imprint may persist indefinitely.

If you hear yourself asking a question you didn’t ask—do not answer.
