Just finished 'em. I wonder what that symbol on the guy's shirt is, it looks familiar to me.

EDIT: Huh, has anyone heard of this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanwell_Asylum

I haven't read through all of it yet, but it seems to have quite the history.

I basically told him that the institute seems like a great place (considering the nature of their work), and I asked him to elaborate on their "strict" methods. Seems like a good place to start. Dunno

i never got the feeling that bertrand was being treated poorly; the tunnels and voices sound like schizophrenic delusions, which make sense given he's in a mental institution.

CMcKnight indirectly discovered this one, and I'm doing him the favor of creating the new thread.

From his original post, which started with an email from a friend of his:

Quote:
Dear Sirs,

I am writing this public letter on behalf of the Hanwell Mental Institute, in the hope that it will clarify a distressing and misleading situation that came to light at the beginning of June. A person by the name of "Leonard Huntings" has been offering a series of video recordings and attempting to pass them as actual archive material from the institute. The Internet website in question that I am referring to is located at http://www.youtube.com/user/lhuntings

We claim absolutely no connection to these outrageous videos. More so, we suspect this "Leonard Huntings" is a nickname used by the perpetrator, who has not the courage to use his real name. We never admitted patients by the names of Leonard Huntings or Bertrand Laroche, who seems to be subject of the videos. Thus, we are dismissing this stunt as nothing else than juvenile efforts to tarnish the good image of our institute. Authorities have been alerted and I trust the aforementioned Internet website will be disabled shortly.

I sincerely thank you for your time and I'm truly sorry to see you being bothered by this childish event.

Yours Truly,

Dr. Andrew H. Miller
Head Director

The site above...

http://www.hanwell.org/

...is a landing page of a mental hospital.

Going to the YouTube site...

http://www.youtube.com/user/lhuntings

...reveals at least three videos of an interview. I noted that the person being interviewed is RENDERED, not a real person, which led me to believe this is no small project.

Comments in the YouTube videos led to this...

META!

The YouTube avatar matches the "Unnamable project" image on the right.

Senscape Interactive seems to be our PMs. On their blog post:

"Make sure you investigate every nook and cranny of this place as well to get all the gory details about our mysterious horror adventure looming over the horizon and a few other surprises down the road."

They do have their own forum, and it's quite "meta":
http://www.senscape.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=6


http://www.facethehorror.com/
Some of the text you can move around matches the dialogue in the videos verbatim.



Not sure if this is a full blown ARG, viral experience or what, but figured I'd get this posted.


And I resisted putting "creepy video" in the title! Very Happy
