 		I grabbed the original image (thank you for that link, btw) and zoomed in using Photoshop. I see no lines; all of the dots are the same size; therefore, no Morse code. The spacing is not *perfect*, but it is certainly too subtle to be considered a message or a puzzle. In this attachment, I copied the 2nd set of 13 dots and duplicated them beneath the 1st set of dots, just to show how regular they are.

I also used Google Image Search to check for another source, but it found no match. If this is from a real newspaper insert or pre-existing flyer, no one has uploaded a photo of it before now; otherwise, it is a new piece of artwork made to look like an old graphic print, complete with creases.

 		Agreed, When Zooming further into the image the pixels are square and not resembling dashes.

Yeah, good job, I think you're right. Pixels do weird things when they're stretched - that's all this is. I'm kinda kicking myself that I didn't realise it and went straight to ancient mysticism. And now I'm concenred the weird trolling going on in the Subreddit is just going to get worse now that I've speculated about "sanskrit texts."

Those guys are getting out of control. I'm actually getting kinda concerned we live in a post ARG world between Reddit's free association "detective work" and the chans trolling.

 		Oh the VHS is fake too?

Blame IMdb for that, somebody went off the deep end about the movie, they saw it, etc. so I didn't delve into it either way since I was distracted with the Swamp Pop lead. I figured it was likely real.

So that just makes it worse.

Fake mag and VHS.

Dammit!!! Shocked

What was it? What words?


A user here created a fake account claiming to be the PR manager from the soda company. So the words don't matter. But if you want to know, you can go back and read this thread from the start (highly recommended to see what has already been found, speculated, debunked, etc).

Do you happen to have the link for that entry? I can't find it.


At least the Tom Clancy books are real.

No because most of us here understand the rules of ARG = don't break the 4th Wall.

And asking the Facebook page that question, which is vague and didn't mention a specific movie referred to, as breaking the 4th wall?

The reason I asked, I wanted to know if they acknowledged it or dismissed it.

I saw it here. From what I gather, it's not real, as the person who posted this supposedly spoke to the real Anna Whitlow.

The VHS tape isn't real, but if you type in the title of the movie into Google, it brings up a Wiki page about an event in 1972. It also brings up an IMDb link to a movie called, Alive, which I believe is also about that 1972 incident.

FFS - it was posted by a player here, who got caught making the fake account. People need to read before they post... seriously.

 		So happy to find this board after getting fed up with the disaster that reddit has turned out to be. I found an interesting piece of information that may or may not be a coincidence.

I never personally saw the "HUMID" tweet from Swamp Pop but have seen screenshots of it. If we are to believe that tweet actually existed, I find it interesting that the word "HUMID" contains D, H and M... the 4th letter of the alphabet, the 8th, and the 13th (respectively). Not in the right order, and ignores the U(21) and the I(9), but somewhat surprising that those letters/numbers align like that. Is it just a coincidence or something more.

I think it's safe to say, currently Swamp Pop with the Long-Term Shelter Supply and their responses seems to be the only solid clue to anything going on in an ARG. I'm trying to catch up on this thread currently, but has it be decided that that is the place to focus currently?

Basically yeah, but there's also that thing about the bunker under the Paris tower that might be a clue of sorts, at least to figure out the reasons behind many things of the plot and such.

 		Pfffft, finally words I can trust. Thank you, CloverfieldVet. I knew that thread had to be a badly crafted lie.

Same thread that has been making the rounds and even quoted by Bloody Disgusting as almost fact.
