Case summary
A wide-angle infrared camera above the bedroom door recorded a woman asleep on her side under a heavy blanket. From the two-second mark the blanket rises off her, folds back and slides down the bed, then over the edge and onto the floor, where it comes to rest in a heap beside the bed at about six seconds. Her hands stay tucked under the pillow throughout. The on-screen clock reads 03:15:00 for the entire clip, and at eight seconds a bright tear cuts across the top and bottom of the frame.

Witness statement
It was summer, so the blanket was only on because the aircon runs all night. I sleep on my side with my hands under the pillow. I have done since I was a kid.
The blanket comes off me. I want to be clear because everyone says I kicked it. My legs are under it. My hands are under the pillow the whole time, you can see them. It lifts at the corner, the far corner from me, and it goes down the bed and off the end and onto the floor. It does not fall. It travels. If I threw a blanket off it would land on my legs, not fold itself up and walk off the bed.
I woke up cold at some point and thought the aircon had glitched. I found the blanket on the floor and picked it up and went back to sleep. I did not look at the camera until my sister asked why the clip was ten seconds long when it usually records for thirty.
The clock is stuck the whole time. Three fifteen and zero seconds, for ten seconds. That camera has counted every second of every clip for two years.
What investigators found
The camera is a wide-angle infrared unit above the door, looking across the bed toward the wardrobe. The lens bends the room, which is normal for this type, and the IR is strong enough to light the far wall evenly. The wardrobe door on the right is ajar throughout and does not move.
We treated this as a possible sleep movement first. A sleeper can shove a blanket off with a leg without waking, but that leaves a signature: the blanket bunches where the leg pushes, and the sleeper's hip or knee rises under it. Here the blanket lifts at the corner furthest from her, folds back on itself in the air, and moves as a whole toward the foot of the bed. Her hands stay under the pillow for the entire clip and the outline of her legs under the blanket stays flat until the blanket is gone. Once on the floor it stops moving instantly; a thrown blanket keeps sliding.
The frozen clock is the detail we cannot square. The overlay is generated by the camera's own clock and normally advances every second of every clip from this unit; the sender provided a dozen other clips to prove it. On this clip it reads 03:15:00 from first frame to last. A stalled clock and a moving blanket in the same ten seconds, on a camera that has done neither before, is where we stopped.
What happened next
Reveal what happened after the recording
The homeowner tested the camera the next day by recording herself walking through the room; the clock counted normally. She then slept in the spare room for a fortnight. On returning to her own bed she kept the camera running and switched to a light sheet, which has not moved. Her sister, who first noticed the clip length, has asked her to move out. She has not. She sent the clip to the archive with the request that we not describe the house or the street, which we have honoured beyond changing the town.
