Frank Smith's POV

12:24 AM

We just autopsied the body. The time of death was approximately two hours before I first arrived at Fazbear's Fright and was chased by Springtrap. Speaking of which, the actual cause of death appears to be someone with superhuman strength that crushed him. There were lots, and I mean LOTS of broken bones. Springtrap is the only thing that could've killed him at that time.

The man is named Chipp Lumper. He was the one who first envisioned Fazbear's Fright. He used to make more kid-friendly attractions. All of them were panned because the animatronics looked too creepy. Chipp figured he could make something scarier, so he decided to use the legacy of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to make the new horror attraction. Unfortunately, it resulted in his gruesome death.

Earlier, around 9:30, we interrogated the clown again. We learned a little more from him before we went nuts again. The conversation went like this:

"Benny, why are you trying to stop the Springtrap?"

"B-Because I must!"

"But, why? Why must you stop the Springtrap?"

There was silence for five seconds, then Benny answered:

"The S-Springtrap used to be a man. The man took many children's lives. The children did not go to the afterlife, but instead became ghosts. The ghosts possessed the robot animals. The robot animals were then destroyed by the man. The man was chased and eventually killed in the Springtrap by the ghosts. While the ghosts are free, the Springtrap is still here, and he's going to bring the end to humanity!"

After that, he went completely nuts again.

"I MUST STOP THE SPRINGTRAP! I MUST STOP THE SPRINGTRAP! I MUST STOP THE SPRINGTRAP!"

After Benny was locked up again, I looked back at the case files I read earlier. I figured that the "children" Benny was referring to were the five kids that went missing that day. The whole "possessing robot animals" thing sounds crazy, but I felt I should go along with it, as I felt it might help explain why Springtrap tried to kill me. I mean, if the dead children possessed animatronics in the past, why couldn't their dead murderer do so now?

Speaking of which, once we get the chance, we will shut down the attraction before it even opens. Then, we're going to destroy Springtrap before he manages to kill more people. Until then, the place will be under our custody. Let's hope Springtrap doesn't leave our sight...
