ATTENTION! PLEASE READ THIS: If anybody has found a green iPod nano near Glasgow Central station, *do not* use it! Leave it alone and contact me immediately. *Do not* use it!

Okay, so four hours ago, I was outside the station listening to my iPod. I took it out of my pocket to shuffle it, and it slipped from my hands and hit the floor. Luckily, it didn’t appear to be cracked or damaged. Shrugging, I shuffled and pressed play.

I was greeted to an unbearably loud screeching, like a screaming woman on a grainy old radio. ‘Great’, I thought. ‘My iPod must be broken.’ I ripped the earbuds from my ears.

But the sound didn’t stop. It was as if I hadn’t taken them out at all. If anything it had gotten louder. I dropped the iPod and put my hands to my ears, retreating to the inside of the station. Even the busy bustle, and chatter, and the tannoy speakers couldn’t drown out the horrible noise.

It was louder and clearer now that the initial shock had died down, but I became even more disturbed. Behind the screeching sound of static, there was definitely the sound of a woman screaming and howling in inhuman pain and suffering and upset. It was the most distressing sound I’d ever heard. My eardrums felt like they were about to be ripped apart, and my head was pounding and pulsing with the worst migraine I’ve ever had.

It hasn’t gone away. I caught the train back to my house and began typing out this message to you guys but it hasn’t gone. It’s…terrible. Horrible. There aren’t words. My hands are shaking. It’s taking all of my concentration to type this. I’ve phoned a doctor, and have an appointment tomorrow, but I’m not sure if I can last that long. I want to take a drill to my head and drill this noise out until there’s peace again, one way or the other, but I’ll try and hold out.

I’m crying now. It’s the woman’s screams. They’re the worst part. She sounds like she’s suffering beyond what any of us have ever known. I’m starting to know what that feels like. My face hurts from grimacing. My throat is raw from screaming and shouting myself. My migraine’s gotten worse…

If you have found a green iPod near outside Central, I can’t stress this enough. DO NOT USE IT! Contact me immediately if you find it.
