The following is servaillance footage from outside Bearson's Bar, located in the southwest area of town. There is no audio, and the film is grainy. The camera points towards the bar's entrance from across the street and automatically swivels from side to side.


At 2100 hours, footage shows a large man entering the bar. Five minutes later, a small figure in a shroud is shown, dragging an extremely large knife against the concrete sidewalk. The figure enters the dark alley next to the bar and disappears from view.

At 0100 hours, the man stumbles out of the bar, intoxicated but seemingly fairly lucid. He begins to walk home. As he passes the alley the shrouded figure had entered, he turns his head toward it as if hearing something. He walks into the alleyway. The camera automatically pans away from the scene, putting the alley out of view. It turns back, and the man has disappeared into the darkness. When it turns away and back again, all that can be seen is a thin dark trail of blood leading out of the alley and out of frame.
