Tavenend

Dramatized Horror Series

Tavenend

Tavenend is an investigative horror audio drama, presented as the personal audio log of an unnamed Investigator obsessed with a single, isolated town. His mission: to document the strange and paranormal events saturating Tavenend, Cornwall, by collecting, restoring, and digitising a vast archive of “found-footage” audio recordings.

Each episode is a new case file. The Investigator introduces the recording, plays the self-contained, terrifying audio in its entirety, and then returns to analyse its contents.

But Tavenend is not just an anthology. The 10-season series chronicles the Investigator’s slow psychological descent from a detached academic into an obsessed pariah. He desperately searches for a “grand unified theory” to connect the disparate phenomena he uncovers—from the ghostly harmony of the Mine Singers to the chilling tune of the Harbour Whistler.

[Tavenend] is a slow-burn psychological horror about a man, his archive, and a town that doesn’t want its secrets told.

The first reel of a new public log, created as I begin the monumental task of digitising my entire collection of recordings.For years, the archive has existed in silence, a chaotic hoard of tapes detailing events that defy explanation. In this initial entry, I state the purpose of this podcast: to bring structure to my work, and to begin the search for a faint, unsettling pattern I believe connects these disparate cases.What you are about to hear is not a story from a found tape. It is the foundation, a prologue for the investigation to come.End of entry.The Investigator
