Nightingale Reads the Manuscript is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.
Manuscript text[]
Nightingale tried to make sense of the manuscript. It was disjointed and strange. He didn't understand half of it, but it all rang true, impossibly true.
He took out his hip flask when he reached the page that described how he reached the page that made him take out his hip flask.
It wasn't the booze that made his mind reel.
Location[]
The page can found on the cell corridor of the Bright Falls Sheriff Station, after the Nightingale is taken away by the Dark Presence, alongside Nightingale Attacked by the Dark Presence.
