hey, anyone remember Carol and Sam? They're in the new "television" show. Turns out the channel is exclusive to AT&T U-verse, but at least it's available online.

go to http://uverseonline.att.net/tv/show/u-verse-exclusive
look for Magic Castle in 3 parts (note they are also going behind the scenes of AMC's Walking Dead show)

http://uverseonline.att.net/play/tv/show/u-verse-exclusive/p/video/dk___dk_exc_b10151_oct11.mp4
Part 1: Famed magician Rob Zabrecky shows Luke an inexplicable trick or two—with the help of the Magic Castle's… eternal performers. (8:30).

http://uverseonline.att.net/play/tv/show/u-verse-exclusive/p/video/dk___dk_exc_b10152_oct11.mp4
Part 2: Are Harry Houdini and other legendary magicians still present within the Magic Castle's walls? Our paranormal team sets up while we learn how the undead come alive on AMC's The Walking Dead. (6:16).

http://uverseonline.att.net/play/tv/show/u-verse-exclusive/p/video/dk___dk_exc_b10153_oct11.mp4
Part 3: After more behind the scenes of The Walking Dead, the L.A. Ghost Patrol investigates the Magic Castle and comes to a haunting conclusion. Only on AT&T U-verse Buzz ch-300 & 1300 (8:45).

Tyler has been spamming Twitter with the links. "Watch the show, then see more rare pics and vids inside the Magic Castle on r site!"

btw, my head is exploding with the meta here. I'm still not 100% convinced our trio is a real "professional" paranormal team, but could the Buzz show be behind the ARG?

another month has passed. Carol has not tweeted, nor updated her website in that time. Tyler jabbers on about the business. I guess fame has scared away the evil spirits. I bump this because there will be another Mission Icefly in Los Angeles tomorrow, and I thought Carol might brag about finding the statuette again. I need to look again, but I thought the most recent promo reel for SurvivalCode included a clip of the LAGP finding that icefly.

In regards to the movie (which Tyler never mentions) I found this appearance by the "actors" and filmaker.

Yeah, I declare this ARG dead. Someone please correct me, however Smile

I deleted my comment, and re-edited it with new info to bump the topic:

I think whatever was bothering my in my apt is back. Gonna see if @LAGP_Sam will come over and help me investigate.


I had noticed a few tweets earlier in the months, but I wasn't sure if it was about the legit show or not. Hopefully this ARG has been resurrected!

pseudonormal activity

Well, color me shocked. Carol has indeed been active since the start of the new year.
http://twitter.com/LAGP_Carol

I do notice that her Twitter profile no longer links to her blog, but points back to the LAGP main website. However, she does have a new recap post there, updated just this week!
http://www.carolshaunting.com/

Meanwhile, the "real professional" LAGP has posted about their most recent investigation.
http://laghostpatrol.com/2012/02/sherman-oaks-apartment/
as well as "new" video from Devil's Gate Dam
(nevermind, that last entry was fan-submitted)

so, this thing might be coming full circle, back to us at UF, but maybe not in a good way? Here's the backdrop...

Last week, a local news channel aired a segment on the LAGP trio. Tyler Sam posted it to their website.
http://laghostpatrol.com/2012/03/fox-news-11-feature/

This prompted some backlash in the Twitterverse. Someone did some digging into their story, which led them to Unfiction because of the "Carol's Haunting" ARG. Check out the text in the photo posted with this tweet:
http://twitter.com/coopershoward/status/179428709890134016/

Tyler has been doing some spin control on Twitter, and the LAGP website now has a GAMES section where they announce a future ARG coming to WyrdCon this summer.
http://laghostpatrol.com/games/

We started this thread with Carol's Haunting. The FOX news clip ends with the reporter mentioning how Carol has experienced a dark entity in her home, perhaps a spirit from Suicide Bridge. But evidence can be found online which cites "Carol's Haunting" as an ARG* (in the credits on a certain producer's website), which we really did know deep down.

As much as we hate to see the curtain blown, I hate even more the feeling that the reporter was being used -- or that he's part of the deception. Somewhere a line has been crossed, but it's hard to figure out where that line is, and that's the line that defines whether or not this will be branded as a hoax. Backlash is never fun.

*btw, that secret webpage says, "A second chapter is forthcoming."

What a bummer. I don't care about 'integrity' like these other, serious ghost hunter douches at all. I just like ARGs Razz

Every few weeks, I like to check back to see what hand-waving is going on over in this corner. Was this blurb on their ARG page before?
Quote:
Please note: Our ongoing investigations featured on the front page are not connected to any of the games and are actual ghost hunts.


Meanwhile, Tyler tweets that they are turning away mundane ghost hunting jobs.
Quote:
Just wanna clarify something- businesses and buildings are still ok, but we are NOT investigating random private residences at moment

There are tons of paranormal teams who happily do that stuff, while we appreciate the flood of requests we're just not doing it for now.

For us, we wanna focus on BIGGER and BADDER hauntings. Like, national historic spots, hotels, famous buildings, etc.

But coincidentally their friend is hoping to launch another ARG:

Our friend @susanbellfilm has a really cool project happening! Can play online & in LA. http://kck.st/mmpkick

Party on!

It seems like this ARG is starting back up again. Here is a new topic bringing attention to a recent development in the ARG: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1011787

Should these be merged in any way?
