You’d Film It Too

I have a genuine question for everyone here: if something truly weird was happening in Stockport, wouldn’t the first instinct of every person under the age of 80 be to film it? We live in an age where everyone has a high-definition camera in their pocket. If there were people ‘acting like zombies’ or strange events in the streets, TikTok and Twitter would be flooded with footage within seconds. Instead, what do we have? We’ve got ‘vibes’ and anecdotes on a small blog. I’m not saying people are lying about what they think they see, but I am saying this is exactly how rumours and urban legends start. Someone sees something they don’t understand, they tell a friend, who tells a nurse, who posts it online, and suddenly we’re all looking for the undead. If I actually see anything ‘undead’ or even remotely unexplainable, I promise I’ll document it properly—with video, not just a vague paragraph. Until then, it’s all just campfire stories in a digital age. Let’s see some proof before we start checking the windows.
