The Dark Presence in the Diner is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.
Manuscript text[]
In spite of its human mask, to describe the Dark Presence as intelligent would have implied human qualities on something decidedly inhuman.
Nonetheless, it found the one spot in the diner that was dark enough. Some light spilled into the corridor, ravaging it, but it took the pain, horrible as it was. The writer would soon fix that. He would be coming to the one place where it still had power.
Location[]
The page can be found on the third cell of the Bright Falls Sheriff Station.
