== Description ==
A-018 appears to be a statue which measures 0.61 meters (2 feet) in height. The statue is mostly black, with small amounts of rust appearing on it. The statue has many lines across it's body, as well as various markings. The statue has rectangular arms with no hands, though it's legs and feet appear normal. The head appears as a mask with hints of white along with the black and rust. The most amount of white is in the eyes, with two black specs acting as pupils. 
When an individual touches A-018, they will experience nightmares far beyond normal. The victim will show extreme distress awaking from this dream. Currently, it appears as if the nightmares are not a single experience, but multiple spanning over an undetermined amount of time. Uncommon events suggest A-018 has the ability to affect the real world, as it has disrupted electronic devices and has been related to car accidents. A-018 has been reported to have similar effects upon simply viewing the statue, however imagery does not produce the same effect.
== History ==
There has not been a recorded history about this object prior to public exposure. A-018 was discovered sometime in 2015, in the crawlspace of home owner Tim, who discovered the statue within a burlap sack. Tim, his wife, and his son have all experienced horrific nightmares, such as inflicting immense injury to their loved ones, including murder. When Tim attempted to place the statue back into the burlap sack, A-018 began affecting the electricity, turning on and off the lights, and shadowy figures moving in the corner of their eyes. Upon establishing physical contact with the statue, an unnamed woman began to "seize up, her body becoming stiff as a board." The woman looked at another individual with "pure rage" before the statue was taken from her, causing her to become confused and promptly leave. Otherwise, the anomaly severely impacts the mental state of individuals holding or witnessing the statue. The previous owner of the statue, Tim, has given the statue to Greg and Dana, hosts of the radio show Coast to Coast. Shortly after, the statue was given to the Strange Escapes crowd at Mackinac Island. Upon seeing the object, the reactions of the crowd were mostly fear, though very few wished to hold the statue.
== Possible Explanations ==
* The appearance of the statue could cause extreme fear and paranoia in people, causing people to assume the statue is related to real world incidents. However, the possibility of this on a large scale is highly unlikely.
== Interview Logs ==
None.
== Experiment Logs ==
Three days after viewing an image of A-018 has resulted in no anomalous effects corresponding to the effects documented. It can currently be concluded that viewing photographs of A-018 is safe.
