Back in the Beginning: Entire Management Team Antagonism After Midnight Ritual in Abandoned Office Tower — Security Footage Shows Them Smiling as Shadows Devoured the Light

In a story that’s equal parts corporate horror and urban legend, security footage recovered from an abandoned downtown office tower has left investigators and social media in a state of collective unease. The footage, dated March 3rd, 2023, shows the entire senior management team of a now-defunct tech startup — Omnidata Solutions — gathered in the 49th-floor conference room at 12:17 AM. What begins as a seemingly mundane off-hours meeting quickly devolves into something far more disturbing: an unexplainable ritual, the warping of physical light, and the team’s unsettlingly serene smiles as total darkness swallows the room.

The security video was discovered last month by an urban exploration group known as Dead Signal, who documented their exploration of the tower in a now-viral video. The group’s footage shows a rusted server rack that miraculously powered on when touched, revealing a hidden archive titled “Back in the Beginning.” It contained just one video: 43 minutes of grainy black-and-white footage from a high-mounted security camera facing the boardroom table.

At first, the video seems normal — the management team files in one by one, all wearing black suits and identical crimson pins. No one speaks for the first ten minutes. They simply sit, eyes forward, hands resting flat on the mahogany table, which is otherwise bare save for a single obsidian bowl in the center.

At 12:28 AM, the lights in the room begin to flicker. One team member — identified by former employees as CFO Brian Alcott — rises from his chair and begins chanting in a language that linguists who have reviewed the footage have yet to identify. Subtle changes begin to occur: the shadows cast by the ceiling lights start to move independently of any visible light source. They stretch, spiral, and coalesce toward the center of the room — toward the bowl.

The most disturbing moment, however, comes at 12:39 AM.

The lights go out entirely — not with a flicker or a fade, but as if they are consumed. And yet, the camera continues to record, switching to infrared. The footage shows the team members still visible in silhouette, but now they are… smiling. Wide, unnatural smiles. Some tilt their heads. Others hum tunelessly. As the shadows rise like smoke, curling around their bodies, their smiles only widen.

Then, one by one, they vanish.

Not in a flash or with a scream, but as if they are being gently unmade — limbs disappearing into the air, faces the last to go, smiling to the end.

At 1:01 AM, the lights return. The boardroom is empty. The bowl is shattered.

When asked for comment, the current property owners of the tower — a real estate holding company that purchased it in foreclosure — claimed they were unaware of any “ritualistic events” and dismissed the footage as “an obvious hoax.” However, public records confirm that Omnidata Solutions had indeed leased the 48th through 50th floors until the company declared sudden bankruptcy in late 2023, just two months after the video’s timestamp.

Interestingly, no formal resignation letters, termination paperwork, or personal belongings were ever recovered from any of the management team’s offices. Their families filed missing person reports in April 2023. To date, none have been found.

Further, several former employees of Omnidata Solutions have come forward anonymously to confirm strange occurrences during the company’s final months: locked rooms no one was allowed to enter, changes in leadership demeanor, and cryptic notes on whiteboards like “We must bring the Beginning through the Ending” and “Light cannot contain them forever.”

What the “ritual” was, or what it summoned (if anything), remains unknown. Some online theorists believe the footage is proof of a hidden occult influence within certain corporate spheres. Others believe the ritual wasn’t occult at all, but a symbolic reenactment or perhaps an irreversible commitment to some “dark-side innovation” within AI or quantum computation that they believed would change the world.

Regardless of the theories, one thing is clear: the footage is real. Multiple experts have authenticated it as unaltered, though the source of the camera’s continued power remains a mystery. The identities of the participants have been confirmed. And the office tower, though officially sealed off since 2024, has since become a pilgrimage site for thrill-seekers, conspiracy theorists, and self-proclaimed technomancers.

Whatever happened on the 49th floor that night, it wasn’t just another meeting.
