I'm so worried. i haven't heard from Morgan since he left my house. He hasn't emailed me or replied to my emails. i'm starting to wish that I had his phone number. And now the website is down...

{note that she says "i'm starting to wish that I had his phone number" when in a previous entry she said "And then I found out my computer wouldn't work, so I called Mr. Morgan and found out he was having the same problem."}


And another a few minutes later:

Haha. I am getting so panicked these days. Morgan just emailed me back, he says he's been busy with the photos and everything and didn't notice that the bandwith on his page went down. He's getting it fixed. I can't believe I freaked outlike that. I feel so silly. Well, can you blame me? I don't know.

Morgan says the photos should be developed tomorow, and he's fixing the webpage. Meanwhile, I'm going to go make some tea. I'm stressing myself out.

 		Updates.

Two emails from Morgan (sent to everyone):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hi everyone.

This is J Morgan checking in. Layla just reminded me that I seem to have been 'out of the loop' for the past few days. What have I been doing? Reasearching Rookery Hill mostly.It turns out that it bounced from owner to owner in the early nineteen hundreds, until Laylas uncle bought it in the fifties. As soon as I get the site back up I'll give you more information, but here's the gist, accounts of spirit activity at the site date back prior to the death of the Artemes twins! It appears that Layla isn't alone with the Twins.

Its been pointed out to me that something may be taking place tonight at midnight. I have no idea, but I'll be watching closely. Although, what's going to ahppen if my site isn't back up isn't clear to me, at the very least.

Attactched to this email is another of the evps I took while at Layla's. Its not fun.

I'll try to keep you up to date.

J Morgan

Really,

There's a chat about my problems? Maybe I'll check it out sometimes...

Woot! I think there may be some in-chat gaming contact etcetc stuff. If there is, a transcript will be posted. =)

 		Well speak of the devil, not 20 minutes after I came back did Layla pop into the chat room!

Quote:
*** Layla has joined #rookerytower
<Binaryblahblah> ooh, reply from Layla. She's fast.
<gnobody> Hello
<Britt> :O
<Binaryblahblah> ... She's here.
<Hikari> Hi Layla!
<Hikari> Smile
<gnobody> Smile
<Le> hey!
<Britt> Hi Layla =)
<Binaryblahblah> Layla!
<Hikari> Nice to see you! Very Happy
<Layla> HI
<Britt> How is the house tonight Layla?
<Hikari> How're things up in the big, spooky tower?
<Layla> So, uh, I guess some of you wanted to give me the third degree?
<Layla> Smile
<Hikari> No third degree here.
<Layla> Haha, they're okay so far.
<MaxSteele> Ah! Hello Layla!
<Layla> My tea is getting cold, and the sun is setting
<Layla> I'm sorry about the email everyone, there's just so much of it
<Binaryborealis> Layla, I did want to ask you about the street sign.
<Layla> I never expected so many peoiple would want to help me!
<Britt> We understand Layla Smile
<Layla> Okay, what about the sign?
<Hikari> Actually, what time is it there, Layla?
<Layla> Oh, it's just now 8 oclock
<Binaryborealis> Is the actual sign misspelled like that, or is it possible that your picture was tampered with?
<Randy> 5 hours
<Hikari> Ah. You're 3 hours ahead of me then. Thanks. Smile
<Layla> I thought I mentioned the answer to that, hmm, maybe it was an email
<Hikari> It was
<Hikari> To me
<Layla> Anyway, the real sign is like that
<Layla> Its the only streetsign for a few miles
<Binaryborealis> Okay.
<Le> we should get morgan in here
<Layla> I think my uncle put it up himself
<Layla> Mr. Morgan is very busy right now
<Randy> Email him. Somebody. I don't know how we will verify it is him though.
<Hikari> Sorry if I didn't tell everyone the answer to that.
<Layla> I think he mentioned quality time with starbucks
<Layla> Wink
<Binaryborealis> Think he could spare time to hang out with you at midnight?
<Layla> I hope so
<Layla> He said he would call me
<Binaryborealis> I can't speak for the rest of us, but I'd feel better if you had at least someone there.
<Britt> He did e-mail and tell us he was very busy with your case ^^
<Layla> I really hope nothing bad happens
<Layla> He's pretty far away to drive out tonight
<Hikari> If it does, we're here at least emotionally. Smile
<Layla> I don't think I have to worry about coal smoke!
<Britt> Layla, do you think something will happen tonight, there is a picture of a clock on Mr. Morgan site and a code reveals that something may happen tonight at Midnight
<Layla> Britt: People are telling me something might happen, but I'm not very sensetive to these things. At least, I don't think I am
<Randy> Layla: Can you describe in detail the experiences on your computer? The weird messages and word documents?
<MaxSteele> So layla, there's a third EVP file?
<Layla> I guess so, I haven't heard it
<MaxSteele> I'm not sure any of us has either.
<Layla> Mr. Morgan was taping all night, but he didn't go back and review anything until he went home
<Binaryborealis> We'll probably get it from Morgan soon enough.
<Hikari> Layla, have you had any more experience with wordpad/notepad/whatever popping open with messages in it? If so, can you make any of the messages you find public via email or your livejournal?
<Layla> No, I haven't had anything more like that ahppen, HIkari, If anything does, I promise I will tell you
<Ursos> Layla: Is there any way you could take pictures or more EVPs tonight? Y'know, just in case?
<Hikari> Thanks
<Layla> Lately things seem to be more scary
<Ursos> Like what?
<Layla> Ursos: I don't have a camera. I will leave the tape recorder on though
<Ursos> Thanks!
<Randy> Layla: Does the tape recorder record in a digital format?
<Layla> Randy: Um?
<MaxSteele> Oh layla, one administrative item... If you could please, register your name with chanserv here so people cannot impersonate you. Just type /msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL
<MaxSteele> Where PASSWORD is a unique password, and email is....your email. :
<MaxSteele> Smile
<Layla> Okay, I will do that max
<Randy> Layla: What I mean, is is it possible to connect it to your computer and upload it and send it via email? The recording?
<Layla> Randy: Oh! Yes, yes it is
<Binaryborealis> Oh, good.
<Britt> Also, Mr. Morgan posted pictures on his website, but all linked to your livejournal. Do you know if Mr. Morgan would still have them?
<Randy> Layla: I'm randyjohnstonSLPATgmail.com, I'm sure you remember my email. I'd appreciate it, if you're willing, if you would send me the recordings via email.
<Layla> Britt: Mr Morgan posted EVPS not pics
<Layla> The pics aren't developed yet
<Britt> Oh right, I got confused ><
<Hikari> This might seem a little strange, but have you considered hiring a psychic to come to the location and do a seance or other type of "psychic reading"?
<Layla> Randy: I will send you anything I record I promise
<Layla> Hikari: I'm sorry, I rally don't trust psychics much
<chippy> how about a priest?
<Layla> Rally I don't Wink
<Hikari> Of course, I understand skepticism.
<Ursos> Any more issues with the dishpan? (This is Conor aka ARGConorSPLATyahoo.com by the way!)
<Randy> Layla: I recommend getting a second opinion also. Maybe another investigator would be willing to help you out.
* Layla thinks of the recent news about priests
<Hikari> You can call priests and they will come and bless the house. That might be good. Smile
* Layla thinks about the twins
<Binaryborealis> Horseshoes over the door? Chalk?
<Layla> Does that kind of thing really work?
<chippy> a pentagram is meant to be good
<Hikari> It might.
<Layla> I'm sorry guys, I didn't even believe in ghosts until recently!!
<chippy> if u draw it around yourself
<Britt> It couldn't hurt Layla, hang it above your doorway
<Layla> Okay, I will see if I can find some chalk and a horsehoe... 0.o
<Ursos> Layla: Any more issues with the dishpan? (This is Conor aka ARGConorSPLATyahoo.com by the way!)
<chippy> often ghosts are souls that dont know they are dead. maybe you needs to somehow communicate with them?
<MaxSteele> Layla, have you had any weird disturbances during the day?
<Britt> Also, I know this sound redictulous, but try spinkling a line of salt on your soorway before you go to sleep, it keeps out spirits
<Layla> Ursos: Hi Coner! Yes, the dishpan keeps moving. Its gone from spooky, to annoying
<Hikari> Layla, have you (or Morgan) investigated the attic at all?
<Layla> Max: sometimes little things happen in the day, but big things only seem to happen at night
<Layla> HIkari: I have not been in the attic since the day I moved in. Do you want me to explore it?
<Hikari> Yes, please.
<Hikari> Smile
<chippy> explore during the day...just in case
<Ursos> I wouldn't explore alone...
<Layla> Okay
<Binaryborealis> If possible, get Morgan to help you.
<Hikari> Taking pictures and recording would be good, if you could.
<Randy> Layla: Make sure if you explore the attic you have a couple of people with you... just in case the worst happens.
<Britt> Yes, take Morgan =)
<Randy> Pictures and audio of the attic would be helpful.
<Paulzilla> Or your friend [Violet]
<Layla> I will have to get a camera...
<Hikari> Smile Thank you
<Ursos> I can send you a disposable one if you promise to take pics. Wink
<gnobody> Um, I don't know if I should give out my address, but thanks!
<Paulzilla> Thank you Smile
*** gnobody has quit (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/)
<Layla> Don't worry, I will get myself a camera
<Layla> but then I actually have to go in the attic
<Layla> Violet dosn't want to come over any more Sad
<Britt> Oh no Sad
<Ursos> Aww, I'm sorry Layla... Sad
<Layla> She says the house made her feel strange
<Binaryborealis> awww
<Arbitrary_Moss> Sorry to hear that, Layla
<Hikari> Sad That sucks.
<Layla> I think she might be a "sensitive"
<Layla> Or whatever
<Layla> I guess I'm psychically dumb
<Layla> And taht's why I can stand to live here
<Layla> I'm starting to think I should just leave and let the dead bury the dead
<Britt> Well with your help Layla, maybe we can find out why Richard and Eric are still haunting
<Britt> Well.. you could leave but, think about their unrested souls
<Layla> I guess they both want the hand
<Ursos> Layla: Speaking of dead, have you had a chance to check out the graveyard behind your house any more?
<Layla> I'd like to think about MY unrested soul
* Layla sighs
<Arbitrary_Moss> Hey Layla, what do you think of just leaving the dishpan on the floor? You can buy yourself a new one, and leave the other in the middle of the floor. It would be kinda annoying though, stepping around it and all.
* Arbitrary_Moss shrugs
<Layla> No, I haven't gone into the graveyard again. It creepys me out
<Layla> Moss: Didn't I reply to you about that?
<Arbitrary_Moss> Did you?
<Arbitrary_Moss> Wow. I loath hotmail.
<Layla> I thought so....
<Arbitrary_Moss> Oh! Silly me. Silly hotmail. Yes, you did.
<Ursos> Layla: Is there anything else we can do to help out?
<Layla> Ursos: Just being able to talk about it actually helps a lot
<Arbitrary_Moss> Eek! Ok, I'll switch to Yahoo when I get a chance.
<Ursos> Good. We're here pretty much all the time, so feel free to drop by whenever you need to.
<Layla> Okay, well, I am going to make myself some supper now, unless you have any more pressing questions
<Layla> I'll try to drop in again before midnight
<Ursos> We'll be here!
<Ursos> You're Eastern time, right? Just to verify?
<Layla> 3 and a half hours
* Layla crosses fingers
<Britt> Thanks so much Layla! I'm sure we'll have questions by then
<Layla> Okay, bye guys!
<Ursos> Later! Thanks Layla!
<Arbitrary_Moss> Bye! Thanks again, Layla.
<Layla> Imwill guys
<Layla> I am having tacos if anyone wants to know
<Layla> Bye bye!
*** Layla has quit (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/)


Cool!

EDIT: Taken out all the frillies and stuff, I think it all makes sense. =) No need to go on about Tacos Razz

If you plan to join the chat, now's probably the time.

 		Ok this is a 2nd version.. gramps screwed the 1st up so here goes bear with me if i screw up
We had a chat with mr morgan and layla tonight.we invited them to the chat and they came. Previous clues hinted at a midnight happening. So we were all in there waiting. A necklace that was used as a pendulum< to warn of possible paranormal activity>at laylas location, began to move shortly before midnight. After it stopped moving layla reported she heard breathing that was not her own. After a bit she quits typing and were all a bit worred. Morgan leaves chat to call layla to make sure shes ok. Shortly after he leaves layla begins typing again. But Its Eric thats speaking to us. several questions were asked, but im only going with the truly relevent at this time" When was the last time you saw Richard" eric<layla> replied with" the last time i saw him was in the moonlight" eric<layla> then leaves the chat....
pon looking at morgans site it has been updated http://www.freewebs.com/morganparanormal/. It now reads Tempus Fugit and below that beware the fairy hour. Also upon loading a midi file start to play what is obvioulsy beethovens moonlight sonota..
Spoiler

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Binary took a look and found moonlightsonota.htm. Looking at the site we have a poem of lewis carrols Jabberwocky. and when you highlight the page the text"?ve been sitting alone for a while. Mommy made Richard go and stay in the guest room. I think she locked the door. My bandages are itchy. I know it wasn?t Richards fault. He came to me the other day and he said".. upon investigating the poem, we noticed discrepencies from the original poem to the site. credit again goes to binary for decoding the misspelled words. Taking the letters fromt he mispelling we come up with lace equine. Russel gets credit for finding the anagram queen alice. So off we were to queenalice.htm. This page shows 2 number strings on top, and 8 dashes below that. Viewing the source of the page, we found this "?Saw him again. Don?t you ever see him?
The Tall Man. Richard talks about him a lot. I know he isn?t
lying; Richard would never lie to me. The Tall Man must have made him do it.>"

And thats where we are at the moment. Sorry if i messed this up, but its late, and it was a lot of info for a newb
