I. Folklore Narrative
"A woodcutter once ventured deep into the Norman forest late in the afternoon. Engrossed in his work, he failed to notice the sun slipping behind the treeline. As the shadows thickened, he decided to head home. But along the deserted path, he felt something... wrong. Eyes. Countless eyes. Emerging from the forest's edge, eyeless yet watching—black pits that stared into his soul.
He knew the stories. Do not look back. Do not meet their gaze. He forced himself to stare ahead, step by step. But the eyes moved, shimmered, whispered. Something about them pulled at the mind—like a thread unraveling sanity. And then... he failed.
The moment his gaze met theirs, something in him snapped. He laughed. Screamed. Howled like a dying animal. In a fit of madness, he began to devour himself—as if he believed he was infested, hollow, something unnatural growing inside. Nothing of him was ever recovered.
Since then, the locals avoid the forest at dusk. And they whisper: if you feel like you're being watched, but see no one... close your eyes. Or never open them again."

II. Code – Designation
Entity ID: NOR-EYES-002
Common Names: "The Eyes", "The Ones Who Stare", "Whispers in the Woods"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Threat Classification
Class: Veil Class (Tier III)
Threat Level: High – the entity demonstrates the ability to cause extreme psychological disintegration, physical self-harm, and induced hallucinations through visual or suggestive contact.
Presence Frequency: Sporadic – sightings are concentrated in isolated forested areas of the Norman region, especially from dusk to midnight, when ambient light reaches its weakest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Physical Traits & Behavioral Signs
Appearance: The entity lacks a defined body. Only countless floating eyes are observed—pupil-less, black voids that emit a faint, dying-star glow. These eyes can manifest on trees, walls, reflective surfaces, or even on the victim's own body.
Behavior: The eyes never move quickly. They hover or anchor themselves silently, always watching. They emit inaudible whispers, barely perceptible, that directly influence the victim's will and self-perception.
Predation Mechanism: The entity does not attack physically. It entices the victim to lock eyes with it. Once visual contact is made, the victim's mind is gradually consumed, leading to hallucinations, dissociation, or suicidal impulses. In severe cases, victims begin mutilating themselves in a euphoric trance.
Trigger Conditions: Manifestation occurs when a target is lost, isolated, or under prolonged psychological stress. Especially prone are individuals with deep emotional trauma.
Signs of Manifestation:
A distinct feeling of being watched, with no source.
Eye-shaped shadows appearing on mirrors, still water, or black glass.
Recurring dreams of being observed or discovering eyes growing on one's body.
Hearing subconscious whispers, urging one to "truly open their eyes".
The entity may kill if it is hungry. Though it prefers psychological feeding, in times of hunger it tears through reality and consumes the victim by pulling them into the "other side" of its gaze—a place with no return.

V. Observation Log | "The Eyes"
📁 File ID: NOR-EYES-002-LOG🔒 Security Level: [REDACTED – LEVEL 4 ACCESS ONLY]
[EXCERPT – AGENT M.G., 12/09/20██]"We discovered a scorched ring of earth in the Norman forest. No footprints leading out. At the center was Test Subject 05 — unrecognizable. Eyes gouged out, hands self-severed at the elbows. The skull was crushed, seemingly by self-inflicted force. Most disturbing were the charred, circular burn marks resembling eyes scattered around the body."
"I feel... like something is watching me as I write this. Requesting a system audit on surveillance feeds from Station B."— Agent M.G.
[EXPERIMENT LOG – TEST SUBJECT 02, 05/08/20██]
Environment: Light-isolated chamber, two-way mirror installed
Scenario: Subject exposed to visual stimuli recorded in the Norman woods, suspected to contain the entity's gaze
Behavior after 90 seconds:
00:45 – Subject begins trembling, clutching own head.
01:10 – Shouts: "I know you're there!"
01:20 – Mirror begins to crack, no physical contact detected.
01:30 – Subject laughs hysterically, then claws at their own eyes.
[REDACTED: Remaining report expunged under directive from NOR-Sydney Division]
[UNIDENTIFIED AUDIO LOG – RECORDED IN NORMAN WOODS, 29/07/20██]
"You saw it, didn't you? Didn't you?"[heavy breathing – 00:13s]"They're everywhere… don't look… don't look at them…!"[inexplicable static distortion – unknown source]"They want me to look back. They want me t—"[transmission ends – final sound described as a "spinal shriek"]
[HANDWRITTEN LOG – AGENT RICHART]
"They said never make eye contact. But I've seen it… I've seen all of them. Not just in the woods. In my house. In the mirror. In other people's eyes...""They're opening their eyes through me. Maybe I'm already dead. Maybe I'm just a pair of eyes that writes now."
→ Agent status: [REDACTED] – Missing since 03/08/20██
Preliminary Conclusion:
"The Eyes" entity exhibits severe cognitive and psychological disruption, potentially transmittable via visual, auditory, or even mnemonic pathways.
No direct or indirect exposure permitted without ψ-7 cognitive filter gear.
Threat level escalation to Tier IVunder review by NOR-Central Council.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. Time & Conditions of Manifestation
Primary Timeframe of Appearance:The entity most commonly manifests during twilight or pre-dawn hours, when ambient light is at its weakest and human vision becomes unreliable.Most disappearances and anomalous events are recorded between 03:00 – 04:00 AM.
Environmental Conditions:– Appears predominantly in deep forests, areas rarely traversed by humans, or near abandoned quarries and cave systems.– Prefers humid conditions with thick fog or mist.– Probability of contact increases significantly when humidity exceeds 90% and visibility falls below 10 meters.
Premonitory Signs:– Persistent sensation of being watched.– Flickering flashlights, electronic devices losing signal or power.– Sudden appearance of eye-like symbols drawn with mud, charcoal, or blood on trees, stones, or (in extreme cases) human skin.– Individuals exposed often fall into states of nervous breakdown, extreme anxiety, or dissociation.
Duration of Presence:Unpredictable, ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Rare survivors report that the feeling of being observed persists for days—even after fleeing the affected area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VII. Containment & Avoidance Protocols
Avoidance:To mitigate the risk of encountering The Eyes, the following precautions are essential:
Avoid exposure to hazardous environments – Never enter uncharted or abandoned forests, particularly during nighttime or early morning hours.
Use proper identification devices – In areas near the creature's known territories, always carry specially designed flashlights with stable light emission. These devices will help minimize the likelihood of attracting the entity due to weak lighting.
Avoid eye-like symbols – Do not draw or allow the appearance of any symbols resembling eyes. Avoid using objects with eye imagery.
Remain vigilant of abnormal sensations – If you experience the feeling of being watched, immediately leave the area and utilize a ψ-5 cognitive filter device to prevent any psychological intrusion.
Containment:In the event that the entity is captured or contained, the following protocols must be enforced:
Limit direct contact – Ensure all personnel in the containment area are equipped with ocular protection and ψ-7 cognitive defense gear. Personnel lacking proper protection must undergo psychological screening after every hour of exposure.
Construct specialized containment chambers – Design psychological isolation cells capable of blocking the entity's mental influence. These chambers must be constructed with thick, lightproof walls, no windows, and stable lighting unaffected by environmental factors.
Biological warning systems – All areas near the creature's point of manifestation must be equipped with biological hazard alarms and automatic threat detection systems.
Test subject management – All test subjects will be closely monitored, and all experiments must use ψ-7 cognitive filtering devices. If any loss of control is detected, the subject will be immediately terminated.
These containment and avoidance protocols are critical to ensure the safety of personnel and prevent the potential incursion of the entity into populated areas. This entity possesses the capability to invade the mind, with fatal consequences in cases of inadequate defenses.
