Case No. #1439
Appearance of Amorphous Misty Figure in Abandoned Monastery in Arequipa Old Town, Peru, Accompanied by Whispers in Unknown Language, Localized Extreme Cold, and Electronic Device Malfunction Incident
Summary
On the night of March 14, 2021, an amorphous misty figure was repeatedly observed in an abandoned monastery ruin located in the old town of Arequipa, Peru. This figure is accompanied by whispers in an unknown language, which seem to speak directly to the observer's mind, and causes a drastic drop in ambient temperature. Furthermore, all electronic devices brought into the area temporarily malfunction, resulting in gaps in observation data. The Authority has recorded this incident multiple times and is currently investigating its mechanism of occurrence and the nature of the figure. To date, no scientific explanation has been obtained.
Details
On the night of March 14, 2021, patrol officers reported an anomaly in an abandoned monastery ruin located in a specific section of Arequipa's old town. They experienced faint whispers emanating from within the monastery and a rapid drop in temperature. Immediately thereafter, they claimed to have witnessed an amorphous, mist-like figure.
Investigations into historical records revealed similar inexplicable reports scattered throughout the 18th century for this monastery ruin. Particularly during the 19th-century epidemic, many residents described seeing 'sorrowful voices' and 'white shadows.' Recent testimonies from tourists and local residents also include multiple reports of feeling a 'cold gaze' or hearing 'meaningless words' at night. The Authority has designated this location as a potential anomalous occurrence zone.
From April 2022, the Authority dispatched a specialized investigation team multiple times, deploying high-precision thermal cameras, broadband microphones, electromagnetic wave detectors, and multi-directional surveillance cameras. However, during the occurrences of the phenomenon, all installed electronic devices simultaneously ceased functioning or exhibited erratic behavior, preventing the acquisition of definitive visual or auditory records. The meager data that was recorded showed only anomalous signals in specific frequency bands amidst static.
An interesting aspect is that this phenomenon consistently occurs during specific hours, particularly from midnight to early morning. Furthermore, despite the localized temperature drop reaching near 0 degrees Celsius during an occurrence, the ambient humidity does not change. This cannot be explained by ordinary atmospheric phenomena. Our team postulates a correlation between this abnormal cold, electronic device malfunction, and the occurrence of the 'voices.'
Investigators' testimonies uniformly describe a 'voice that resonates directly in the brain,' yet this is not recorded by equipment. Local residents recount a legend that this monastery site was used for Inquisition trials during the early colonial period, trapping the souls of many victims. However, the Authority does not readily attribute the incident to such folklore. The potential connection between historical facts and the current phenomenon is treated merely as one hypothesis.
The Authority is currently developing non-contact measurement devices and strengthening its observation system for the phenomenon. The deciphering of the unrecorded 'voices' and the identification of the material composition of the misty figure are top priorities. This incident potentially indicates an entity that transcends our known laws of physics, necessitating thorough and ongoing investigation.

Witness Testimony
Eyewitness Police Officer AThat night, I heard a voice, as if speaking from beyond the monastery walls. I didn't understand the meaning, but it resonated directly in my head. At the same time, it suddenly became piercingly cold, and a grey mist-like thing appeared before me. I drew my weapon, but I couldn't shoot anything.
Local Resident BThat monastery has always been rumored to have 'voices.' You shouldn't go near it at night. Sometimes, a cold wind blows out from there. That's no ordinary wind.
Investigator CI've encountered the phenomenon several times, and that 'voice' is truly strange. It's not an sound detectable by normal hearing. And all electronic devices freeze simultaneously. This suggests some powerful energy is involved.
Kyu's Analysis
Unexplainable. No known physical laws account for this. Thorough investigation and continued recording are imperative.
