Hi, my name is Jay merrick.
I've been friends with a guy named Alex Kralie for several years now, and in those years, we worked on a student film that he was going to publish, titled Marble Hornets
Over the course of making the film, I started to notice that Alex became very easy to irritate. His stress levels went through the roof, and he wasn't acting like himself anymore. I wasn't even sure what was happening, but a month before he was supposed to release Marble Hornets, he completely dropped the project.
While he was on set, or anywhere really, he always recorded himself on a tape recorder, and he always had a bag full of tapes when ever we were with him. I asked him what he was going to do with all the tapes, he said:
"Burn them"
As a film student myself, I didn't want all of his work to go to waste, so I asked him if I could have his tapes. After a lot of persuading, he gave them to me. Under the condition that I never mention them around him again. I said ok, and left. At the time, I was to nervous to look through the tapes, but a few days ago, I found them stowed away at the back of my closet. I've decided to upload what I find here, if anything does happen. I'll record more soon.
