1. The key to time

An old bungalow house in the village—Brown House. The history of the house is as old as it is terrifying. No one has been able to survive in this house for almost 70 years. Whoever comes, escapes within a few nights. Because, at 3 am, the ancient wall clock in the dining room of the house rings by itself—even though the hands of the clock are tied!

Young researcher Emily writes about time. As part of her research on old clocks and time loops, she decides to stay in Brown House for a few days.

2. The first night of arrival

Emily senses a strange silence from the moment she steps into the house. It seems like someone is watching her from all sides—but no one is visible. On the first night, at 3 am, the wall clock ticks once. But the clock has been stopped for a long time!

Emily thinks, maybe it's a coincidence. But the next day, she looks at the clock carefully. The clock hands are stuck at exactly 3 o'clock. The writing on the back of the clock—"Time has stopped, but it has not stopped."

3. The beginning of strange events

On the third night, Emily sees that her reflection is not in the glass of the clock. But another woman's face is reflected. A soft voice comes from the clock:

"Can you hear me?"

Emily is terrified, but looks back and sees no one.

The night begins to grow, and a miraculous light comes out of the clock and starts moving around the room. Emily then feels—she is stuck in another time.

4. The first encounter with a spirit

The most terrible thing happened on the fifth night. Sitting under the clock, she was reading Edgar Allan Poe's writings. Suddenly, the whole room is covered in darkness. The light battery stops working.

Just then, a female shadow comes out from under the clock. The whole room is filled with the smell of burning.

The woman says,

"My name is Sarah. I have been trapped inside this clock since 1952. My husband Joseph killed me with this clock, when I found out the truth."

Emily is shocked. She cannot believe that something like this is really happening.

5. Soul trapped in time

Sarah says that her soul is trapped at exactly 3 o'clock—in the hands of the clock. Every day she returns at that time, and gets lost again. She wants to be freed, but time does not give her back.

Emily decides that she will solve the mystery of this clock.

She finds a hidden amulet attached to the second hand inside the clock. Human bones were used to build the clock. This clock traps the soul for a certain period of time.

6. The key to liberation

Emily decides to break the amulet. But Sarah warns,

"Once you break the bonds of time, you can get trapped yourself."

Yet Emily is not afraid. Just before 3 a.m., she broke the clock glass and pulled out the amulet. Suddenly, the whole house shook. The cries of hundreds of souls floated in the air.

7. Altered Reality

The next morning, Emily woke up and saw that everything was normal. The clock was off. There was no strange smell.

But looking in the mirror, she saw that her eyeballs were now spinning like clockwork. She realized that she was trapped in the cycle of time. Every night at 3 a.m., she now became the soul of the clock.
