Ben Harlan's last call to his brother.
Episode notes
Found this clip in an Instagram reel from Jack Harlan (@jackharlan3) that dropped like a brick on my feed.
It's him playing the last phone call he ever got from his brother Ben before Ben vanished. The audio is raw, distorted, with this deep wet buzzing interference that doesn't sound like normal static at all. Jack's caption was basically a quiet plea for any leads, and he included the call recording.
I reached out to him right away to ask if it was okay to share a clip on my channel for the narration community here—he gave the go-ahead and asked that I attest it's his original audio and point people back to his original post if they want to help or follow up.
Full credit to Jack Harlan; this isn't my content, just amplifying something that feels important and deeply unsettling. Uploaded the call excerpt. If you listen close... that background hum doesn't fade like regular phone noise.
Does it hit the same for you? Or is my brain just filling in the voids?
