–Case #40157J āParanormal Research Division–
Confiscated from Cairo police department on 3/8/2020
Journal entries from Canadian-American researcher Steven K. Simms
Journal discovered in descending passageway near entrance to Pyramid of Khufu, Egypt
Case status: OPEN
-Dr. Simms research log entry 3/7/2020 3:28 PM
Iāve arrived at Cairo International Airport and will be making my way to the Pyramids of Giza investigating reports from a former assistant whom, for reasons I will be documenting later, will not be named. On a recent study of the Great Pyramid or āKhufu Pyramidā his team discovered what may be a small entrance way to a grander part of the pyramid yet undiscovered. When his team asked to conduct additional research, they were met with a good deal of negativity and asked to move on. I will be resuming this discovery.
5:46 PM
After a taxi ride that seemed like an eternity, Iāve arrived at my hotel. I can see the pyramids from my window. It is certainly a sight. I plan on making my way to speak with my contact after the festivities on the ground subside.
7:45 PM
The anticipation is starting to build as I watch people filter out of the area. If done properly and stealthily enough, the find of the centuryā¦the millennium will be unearthed.
8:34 PM
The light show is actually better than expected as they close things down for the day. Makes me wish I was down with the people. The only issue with that isā¦people.
8:57 PM
All festivities seem to have ended and there are very few people. I will now be making my way to meet with my contact.
9:42 PM
Success! The pyramid grounds are mine to roam and explore. My contact, which will also go unnamed, was able to sneak me in without his co-workers noticing. The security guards here are notorious for giving tourists āspecial toursā or show them āsecret roomsā for extra money. I was lucky enough to find an especially greedy one who was thrilled at the amount I offered for this opportunity to research alone at night. I believe it will be the first time anyone has truly done this.
–Paranormal Research Division entryāSubject Steven K. Simmsā ācontactā has been disabled.
9:49 PM
Iāve worked my way down a good portion of the descending passageway. I wasnāt expecting how small the passageway would be. I almost felt like I was going to slip several times as the ground didnāt exactly grip my boots. Awkwardly smooth ground to walk on and going downhill no less. Iāve stopped and am facing a decision. Thereās somewhat of a fork in the road. I could either continue descending down the corridor, or ascend towards whatās called the āGrand Galleryā which is the largest room in the pyramid. This is also where the supposed āentrywayā was discovered. I have all night. I think Iāll descend first. The creepiest stuff is always in the basement right?
10:12 PM
OK, I didnāt realize how long of a walk that would be. After nearly slipping only a half a dozen times this time, I made it to what the map says is the āsubterranean chamberā. I really do hate the echo in this place. I swore I heard voices from the blackness that I came from. Clearly ghosts, but I wish theyād stop. Kidding of course. That was very scientific of me huh?
10:21 PM
Walked around down here for a few minutes. Iām a little disheartened to see how little there is to see. Itās all just barren walls and rock. No mummies, no artifacts, not even a hieroglyphic. Of course, all of those items are now housed in the museum but as a tourist attraction youād think theyād give this place a little more flare.
10:24 PM
Incident: A loud rumbling was heard at 10:23 PM that seemed to course through the entirety of the pyramid. This rumbling was not only heard but felt. Duration ā 34 seconds. Unexplained.
10:27 PM
I am now regretting my decision to descend to the chambers first. Not only was it a long walk down, it will be an even longer walk up. Not to mention tiring.
11:14 PM
I am now back at the fork in the road. There are wood planks here for me to sit and rest after the uphill hike. I will be resting and hydrating for a few moments.
11:16 PM
Incident: A screeching noise was heard at 11:16 PM from deep into the ascending passageway. I nearly choked on my water to rush grabbing my journal to notate. The sound was not a biological sound. More metal on metal. As far as I know Iām alone though but this has peaked my interest as well as my adrenaline. Duration ā 4 seconds. Unexplained.
11:20 PM
I was going to make this journal entry when I reached the Grand Gallery butā¦I found myself staring into the darkness of the ascending passageway for several minutes. Iām not one to believe in curses, ghosts, or revived mummies butā¦the screeching noise has activated a sense of fear Iāve never felt before. I must move passed my personal emotions for the good of discovery.
11:29 PM
Iāve reached the Grand Hall. To say it is grand is, in fact, a HUGEā¦overstatement. While itās clearly bigger than the corridors to get here, itās still underwhelming. Before I investigate the mysterious hidden passageway, I think Iāll sneak a quick look in the Kingās Chamber where the pharaoh was found.
11:36 PM
A sarcophagusā¦thatās all that was in the Kingās Chamber. Again, no markings, no items of grandeur. When I get home, Iām going to have to phone those documentary makers and———-Incident: In the middle of writing this entry I heard a sort of, chanting, coming from the Grand Hall which I came from. It was not a chanting that Iāve heard before among the many cultures Iāve encountered or have seen on TV. It was faint but audible. That feeling of fear has washed over me again. I will regain my bearings and move to investigate.
11:45 PM
Iāve re-entered the Grand Hall. I have also located the supposed entryway my associate reported to me. It was exactly where he said it was. Itās quite a bit smaller than reported. I see why it was missed for all these decades. Itās hard to tell but peering my flashlight through, it does seem to go on a ways. Saying itās an āentrywayā though is fairly inaccurate, at least for a person. I will document with pictures.

11:52 PM
Iāve spent the last few minutes trying to figure out a way to maneuver myself through. Iām about 23 cheeseburgers too large. I might end up hurting myself getting through but Iām determined.
11:54 PM
Incident: The loud rumbling returned at 11:53 PM. Duration ā 14 seconds. Unexplained.
11:59 PM
Success! Iāve made it through! I can barely contain my excitement to write this. My left arm was almost twisted 360 degrees but I made it. Although, as Iām writing, my excitement is dwindling as I realize Iām in a small, dark room, maybe 5×5. There are no other hallways or tunnels. I suppose itās a new find that has never been documented but
3/8/2020 12:01 AM
Incident: I almost have no words. My last entry was cut short due to making sure this was a separate oneā¦and noted as more important. In writing previous entry, I leaned against a wall and, in something Iāve only seen in movies, the wall opened up and I fell to the floor in a completely separate room. As I looked back, the ādoorā closed back up by itself. The door made entirely of stone, seemed to move like a mechanical door. I have yet to explore. The hallway seems far more vast and larger than the explored areas of the pyramid. Almost as if, THIS was the main area.
12:09 AM
Previous entry is incorrect. The area I was in was the hallway TO the main area. I am almost at a loss of words. What I have discovered isā¦extraordinary. I can only describe it asā¦an arena. Perhaps a stage. Cascading stone seats in a circled around a flat stage area. In the middle of the stage is a large stone table. Could this be a sacrificial area? Mummification spot perhaps? Although, why all the seats?
–Paranormal Research Division Entryā29 photos of āarenaā retrieved from memory card in file Cā
12:29 AM
In researching my new find, I almost forgot to make an entry. I am now convinced this is a public sacrificial chamber. The arena spiders off into 6 corridors. I will be investigating each one.
12:38 AM
Incident: The screeching sound returned. Duration 47 seconds. Unexplained. It was much louder this time. It seemed to come from all directions as I began walking down what I have dubbed ācorridor Aā. It was far more intense than the previous incident. This may sound strange but the screech soundedā¦angry. Almost as if it was unhappy with my presence.
12:42 AM
Corridor A seems to branch off into other corridors and rooms. Most rooms are empty but the 3rd room on the right was concerning. 5 feet in, I nearly fell into a seemingly endless drop. What could this drop be for?
12:54 AM
Incident: Iāmā¦I donāt know what to say. I will try to put this into words. Aā¦shadowā¦a silhouette, gave chase. As a scientist, I cannot report seeing a ghost, I just canāt. There may be people living in the pyramid. Obviously not ancient Egyptians but, modern day people that secretly live here. I was able to elude the āformā. I call it a silhouette because, it had no features. Just a black human form. Large, maybe 7 feet tall. Broad physique. No eyes, no mouth. I saw it down the hall and it gave chase. No audible footsteps now that Iām recollecting. I ran around several corners and through many corridors. I am now lost and deep in the maze that Iāve gotten myself into.
1:01 AM
The rumbling returned. Iām too scared out of my mind to report lengths of time and how itās unexplained. Iāve tucked myself in a corner and am building the courage to leave. I need to get out.
1:08 AM
The screeching. It returned. Still mad. Mad at me? I was just curious.
1:12 AM
Iām finding my journal entries to be soothing. Recollecting whatās going on is somehow making me feel better. Almost as if, itās going to be seen.
1:15 AM
The figureā¦it walked passed me. No noise. I could tell it was angry. It walked with a purpose. Now I know I wasnāt seeing things. I ran in the opposite direction once it was out of view.
1:18 AM
No no no no noā¦itās staring at me. Itās across the hall and staring at me. Iām trying to write this while keeping an eye on it. Sloppy handwriting. Itās been still for a good minute. Itās real.
–Paranormal Research Division entryāThe above entry was illegible. Translated to the best of our abilities.ā
1:24 PM
It left. After what felt like forever of a motionless stare, it left. It left slowly, almost daring me to stay. I donāt want that dare. I want to do what it wants. I want to leave.
1:27 AM
The black void. In so many directions. Iām surrounded. No way out. No hope. No hope. Noā¦sanity.
–Paranormal Research Division entryāSubject Steven K. Simms no longer provides timestampsā
The rumblingā¦the screechingā¦my nemesis. He taunts me. I hear him now. He speaks. Not with wordsā¦but he speaks. My predator is stronger than me. More dominating than me. Moreā¦evil than me. I canātā¦
Heās solid! I hit him. I saw him around a corner. I punched face. Solid. Did not react. Did not move. Hand broken. Fear keeps pain away.
–Paranormal Research Division entryāBlood found soaked into several pages around this one. DNA identified as Dr. Steven K. Simmsā
Darkness. Can it see me? Heās darker than the darkness. I can see him. Hand starting to hurt.
Why? Just end this.
–Paranormal Research Division entryāAll entries onward mostly illegible. Translated to the best of our abilitiesā
Somewhere out there is my death. My release from this life. Iām a scientist. I donāt believe in an afterlife. Will I black out into nothingness? Is that the afterlife? Nothing? Thatās what I consider my nemesis. Heās a void in the darkness. As if heāsā¦nothing. I will soon be nothing as well.
Painā¦everywhere. Nemesis charged. Hit me. I flew almost 10 feet. Barely able to write. Stood over me. Left. He was amused. He doesnāt want me to dieā¦yet.
Maddeningā¦I will kill him. I will kill. Kill.
Chanting. I hear the chanting again. Would be beautiful if not for this suffering.
Would you know me if you saw me? Would you care? I have to write. I have to keep writing. He doesnāt bother me when Iām writing. This is my saving grace. This is my sanity. This is me.
Cold. Egypt canāt be cold.
Laying in blood. No recourse.
Dragging me. Can still write. Crushed ankle. Heās so strong. Tight grip.
Iām the star! Iām the star of the show! They love me here! They all came out to see me.
–Paranormal Research Division entryāBottom part of page crumpled and torn. No additional entriesā
