**Ultra-realistic 9:16 vertical bedroom security-camera footage at 3:27 AM**, recorded from a fixed camera mounted above a wardrobe. Wide-angle view captures the bed, doorway, hallway entrance, and floor. Authentic infrared night vision, realistic timestamp overlay, mild fisheye distortion, natural sensor noise, compression artifacts, and imperfect exposure. No cinematic movement or cuts.
A child is asleep under a blanket on a low bed. A family dog is sleeping near the bedroom doorway.
For several seconds, the only movement is the dog's breathing and the faint movement of the blanket.
Then the **hallway light suddenly turns off**.
The dog wakes up.
The bedroom door remains open.
At the far end of the hallway, a **long distorted shadow slowly moves across the wall**, getting closer without any visible person creating it.
The dog stands perfectly still, watching.
The shadow reaches the bedroom doorway.
Instead of entering immediately, it slowly stretches across the floor toward the sleeping child.
The dog suddenly **steps directly onto the edge of the shadow** and begins growling.
The shadow stops.
The dog takes one step forward.
The shadow moves backward.
The dog suddenly charges toward the doorway, barking loudly. The shadow rapidly pulls away down the hallway.
The dog stops at the threshold and continues barking into the darkness.
Then, from the hallway, a faint **whisper-like sound** is heard.
The dog immediately turns around, runs back to the child's bed, and positions its entire body between the child and the doorway.
The bedroom door slowly begins closing by itself.
Just before it shuts completely, the shadow briefly appears behind it.
**SLAM.**
The dog remains beside the sleeping child, staring at the closed door.
**Realistic continuous CCTV footage, authentic canine behavior, realistic sleeping child, subtle paranormal horror rather than a visible monster, no gore, no injuries, no exaggerated effects. Sound design must feel recorded by the CCTV microphone: distant electrical hum, hallway ambience, dog breathing, claws clicking on the floor, low growling, sudden barking, faint whisper-like noise, door hinges, rapid movement, heavy door slam, then complete silence.**
