The Notebook

from The Unremarkable · host Ben Cooper

The notebook was black. No name. No markings. Just page after page of observations about people. Tiny habits. Nervous routines. Private moments nobody should have noticed. When substitute teacher Daniel Mercer finds the notebook inside an empty classroom desk, it feels harmless at first. Strange maybe. Uncomfortable. But harmless. Then he finds entries about himself. Things nobody should know. At first the notebook describes the past. Then it begins describing things before they happen. And the deeper Daniel reads, the more obsessed he becomes with discovering who wrote it… and how they seem to know him so well. This week on The Unremarkable... some obsessions don't begin with answers. They begin with being noticed. If you enjoy mysterious storytelling rooted in real events, you may also like my other podcast, Dead Notes, where music history and mystery collide.
