Classification: Passive Manifestations

Threat Level: Minimal — danger can be avoided by listening to gut feelings and common sense

Recommended Action: Observe. Do not engage. Trust your instincts. Leave if possible.

Early-stage anomalies are typically localized and non-aggressive.

Manifestations may include:

– Doors where there were none

– Lights that flicker with no source

– Familiar objects subtly changed

– A sense of being watched while alone

– Memories that feel misaligned

Subjects exposed to Level 1 phenomena often dismiss them as fatigue, distraction, or stress.

Most incidents resolve on their own.

Some escalate.

What links these cases isn’t violence—

it’s silence.

There are no screams. No chases. No broken mirrors or slamming doors.

Just quiet distortions.

Things that don’t belong.

Things that know your name.

They rarely act.

They don’t need to.

You’ll invite them in without realizing.

Level 1 isn’t interested in scaring you.

It wants you to stay.

Because once you settle in…

it can begin.

Welcome to Level 1.
