The following document is sourced from police reports, leaked government documents, and first-hand encounters. There is currently no enhanced risk to reading this document discovered.

Beginning from the year 1997, hundreds of reports of the "Hanged Static" came in across all of the United States and Russia. The Hanged Static is the nickname given to an entity which can manifest on TVs, computers, or any electronic device which possesses a screen randomly. For a period of anywhere between 3 seconds to 7 hours, a pale humanoid possessing grossly large, static-filled eyes will appear on the monitor, apparently hanging from a noose, while smiling. Audio will begin to play from the device, containing either breathing, growling, static, laughing, and/or a mixture of the previous. The device cannot be used or turned off while this is occurring.

This will continue until the Hanged Static has left. During this time, subjects appear unable to move. Roughly one-quarter of subjects report the humanoid shifting slightly, never breaking eye contact with them, while another quarter reports the Hanged Static to blink one time.

Once the Hanged Static has gone, subjects suddenly gain a powerful phobia of the dark. Subjects will refuse to enter any unilluminated area for at least a month after encountering the Hanged Static. Subjects who are forced into the dark during this period have been noted as to screaming uncontrollably, crying, laughing, or suddenly losing consciousness. To date, it is presumed that no deaths were directly due to the Hanged Static itself, however, 7 suicides have been attributed to it. The current reason for this is unknown, as with the purpose, origin, and reason behind the Hanged Static. It is likely to remain a mystery indefinitely.
