[WF][Trailhead] Whitechapel Foundation: Open Cases
Collaborative investigation of paranormal and occult events.
Quote:
Dear Sir,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Patel and I am the director of research and investigations for the Whitechapel Foundation. The Whitechapel Foundation is a research organization concerned with the objective investigation of reports of the paranormal. As our charter states, our mission is to, "...document and investigate reports of paranormal events and crytozoological entities." I will be the first to admit that this sounds a bit grandiose and more than a bit "kitschy", but in reality we are a serious, somewhat stolid research group interested in a better understanding of our world and how each of us perceives it.
I am writing to you because your name came up during a strategy session with one of our partners, Djinn Productions. In the course of discussing a new Whitechapel project called "Open Cases" we came to understand that there is a class of entertainments referred to as Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), and that the people who are interested in ARGs might also be interested in our "Open Cases" project.
You see, "Open Cases" is intended to make information related to certain of our Foundation cases available to an external audience; people who might be able to add to the research and to the objective review of the case. Although the "Open Cases" project is open to all, we are especially hoping to attract people who have a deep curiosity, are open to new ideas, can think far out of the box, are creative, and who enjoy a challenge. In talking to our friends at Djinn, it seemed like there is a good chance that you might have an interest in our project.
Therefore, I simply wanted to extend a personal invitation to join us at our "Open Cases" site. I have no way of knowing how often new cases will be added, or what types they will be. But I can assure you that they will be of a sort that require the special talents of people such as yourself. As a matter of fact, we have recently posted our first case on this new site, and although it does not appear to be directly related to a 'paranormal' event there is quite a sense of the strange about it. The "Open Cases" section of our website it located here: http://whitechapelfoundation.org/opencases/
Thank you very much for your time. I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to visit our site.
Very best regards,
Christopher Patel
Director, Research & Investigations
The Whitechapel Foundation
