Decision to Play the Record
Intrigued by the mysterious record, Alex decides to play it live on-air, hoping to share this unique find with his listeners.
Unleashing the Curse
As the needle drops, an eerie melody fills the airwaves. Almost immediately, strange phenomena occur: lights flicker and an unexplained chill fills the studio.

Investigating the Phenomena
Shaken by the events, Alex resolves to uncover the origins of the record. His journey begins with a deep dive into the history of vinyl records and cursed objects.
Discovering the Record’s Origins
His research leads him to a forgotten blues musician, known for his tragic life and rumored to have put a curse on his last record.
The Legend of the Cursed Melody
The musician had been betrayed by his manager and, in his despair, cursed the final recording. This record was said to bring misfortune to anyone who played it.
Seeking Expert Help
To understand more, Alex consults with paranormal experts and music historians. Each expert adds a piece to the puzzle of the cursed record.
A Plan to Break the Curse
Alex learns that to break the curse, the record must be played backwards at midnight during a full moon. The stage is set for a chilling ritual.

The Final Note

The Aftermath
Breathing heavily, Alex looks around. The studio is quiet, the curse apparently broken. Relief washes over him as he realizes he may have ended the musician’s century-long torment.
Verifying the Curse’s End
To ensure the curse is truly broken, Alex plays the record normally once more. This time, the music is just music, beautiful and sad but no longer haunted.
