Has anyone else noticed that some of the clickables have sound files attached to them.

The two on the car sound something like a revving engine (or something used as a substitute for a revving engine Wink ), the Two Doors (First building and second building) when clicked gives a sound that makes me think of trains (the steady clack-clack and the metal wheel squeal), even the tunnel has a sound that gets cut off as the page shifts (sounds like the train noise again), and the oval sign over the second door gives a fax machine or modemish kind of noise. So far only one window has a view, and the cutout of a person walking gets larger when you roll over it.

Do the sounds mean anything to anyone or are they hiding another sound under them?

erm.. nah you're probably the only one that's noticed :p

what I've been trying to look at is the 'clickable' car registration plate and the sign above the door, tho' I don't think either of them are in good enough resolution to be anything important.

another thing that's been bugging me is the British phonebox?

Perhaps a conversation or a taped telephone call? After all didn't the good Dr. Kendra make the partial recordings she made available to us?

 		INFO: for Saint Beregonne
These are the only two references I can find on St. Beregonne, even at www.cluesearch.com

Quote:
I guess the synopsis from my old "Ghouls" article is still good:

'...the story a product of two manuscripts, in German & in French, found by the narrator in a shipment of scrap paper on a ship in the Rotterdam dock. Both letters deal with the same event from two perspectives; that of an alternate-universe in the city of Hamburg, reached via a street known as Saint Beregonne's Lane, which is only visible to a select few persons, & leads to a spectral world of curiously duplicated houses, populated at night by a horrible race of ghost-vampires which filter through to Hamburg at nighttime to create a reign of grisly murder & kidnapping that saturates the story until its final conflagratory climax...'


It seems a writer, Jean Ray, has Saint Beregonne Lane in one of his stories. Here is a synopsis of his books.

Quote:
"Next we reach Hamburg and the quarter called Sainte Beregonne..."
Sainte Beregonne appears in Jean Ray's Le Manuscrit français (The French Manuscript, 1946). Alberto Chimal corrects me (or, rather, the source I used to identify this reference):

the right title of the novella where Sainte Beregonne is mentioned is "The Dark Alley" ("La Ruelle ténébreuse"); it was first published in 1952 and "The French Manuscript" is just about the third part of the whole story, which deals with strange and terrifying events at Sainte Beregonne.


This info can be found here. Scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you will see St. Beregonne highlighted.

______________________________________

Below is some information on Jean Ray. I put this out there because I can't find a copy of "The French Manuscript" (yet). Hopefully this will help someone.

Quote:
Raymond Jean de Kremer is born in Ghent in 1887. Since 1910, it starts to write in various reviews under two pseudonyms: Jean Ray and John Flanders, while continuing a quiet career in the administration. It is under that of Jean Ray that it publishes, at 38 years, its first book, the Tales of the Whisky .


Here is some more info on Jean Ray.


Quote:
The author
Jean Ray (1887 - September 17, 1964)
Jean Ray is the most known pseudonym of Raymond de Kremer , who published under this name the essence of his work in the field of the fantastic one. Raymond de Kremer used a number of pseudonyms (such John Flanders , John Sailor ), and it seems difficult to establish the exact assessment of his literary work. There would be currently more than 9300 tales and news, more than 5000 reports, chronicles, criticisms and texts various.

 		Google of Sainte Beregonne led me to a couple of "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" sites. I couldn't get a handle of "why" but I think that it may have been mentioned on one or more of the comic books (but I haven't read any of them, just know about the upcoming moving). I think the primary author here is Alan Moore.

Yes, you're right. One of them I listed above. (This info can be found here. Scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you will see St. Beregonne highlighted.) Which ones did you get? I would be interested in knowing. It's amazing the things I am learning about the classics, books wise. I never knew what "A Mid Summer's Night Eve" was about, until the Titania thread. I missed out on a lot in high school. Very Happy
