00:00This is the most terrifying machine ever built by a human being, and it ran on living flesh.

00:05In 1967, in the isolated town of Mirkwood, Oregon, an eccentric clockmaker named Warren Deacon

00:12vanished without a trace. In the years that followed, dozens of residents mysteriously

00:17disappeared. But it wasn't until 1982, when a detective reopened the case, that the truth

00:24began to surface. And what he found in the basement of Warren's old house was something

00:29that never should have been created. Beneath the house was a rusted steel structure, gears

00:34coated in a thick red liquid. It was a clock, but not a regular one. This one only measured

00:41minutes, never hours. And around it, human bones carefully fitted together like puzzle pieces.

00:48Each gear looked custom-made, from organic parts. At the center, there was a seat with straps,

00:55as if it were waiting for someone. As the detective stepped closer, he heard a slow

01:00ticking. Even though the clock seemed completely disconnected from any power source, the hand

01:06was moving, and it showed exactly three minutes and 36 seconds. Suddenly, the gears started

01:11turning on their own, making a metallic, almost gasping sound. The door behind him slammed shut,

01:18locking him inside. That's when he realized that was the time he had left, to escape, or become

01:24part of the machine.
