 		Red Queen
I kinda see it, but I also see a cat in there.

The Red Queen, from Alice in Wonderland is the Queen of HEARTS. I don't think I have seen that.

 		This just reminded me of this incident on Beth's site:

Quote:
Seeing no Red
Document #101 Status: Unverified
Class: Location: US-West, Year: 2003

Summary
The color red disappears from site leaving hikers amused.

Details
On October 16, 2003, several visitors to Caribou National Forest reported trouble with their vision. Those affected were unable to distinguish the color red, yet all other colors appeared normal. The effect was felt in a small area of the park, just east of Pocatello, ID. When visitors left that area, vision returned to normal. While the cause has not yet been determined, officials have been unable to duplicate the effect making further investigation difficult. When questioned, one official expressed his belief that it was a drug induced incident by "those unruly hippies".


It's the opposite of what's happening in the picture - we can only see red, everything else is in black and white. No idea how this could help us, but...

The PMs are probably giving us clues to this thing all over the place, and we just aren't making the right connections. The problem is there are so MANY connections!

STOL - S to L, small to large...! I just had a new idea...what's between small and large? Medium! That word has certain paranormal connotations as well.

Dunno...I hope we're getting somewhere.

[edited for no particular reason...]

 		What if...
Could they be the same person? The woman dresses up as the man.

It is a stretch...

[edit]Sorry this was a reponse to a post that used to be here. Referring to the missing ppl.[/edit]

It could be that whatever this Picture opens up was an event that resulted in the missing red area.

 		Another random thought to throw into the mix:

The girl is looking through a red-ish filter. Looking at the world through rose-colored glasses? i.e., innocence, blindness from the truth.

btw, I've been trying all the connections people have come up with as possible directories on sheismissing.info. Nothing has worked yet, obviously, or else I'd be quite a bit more excited now, but I thought I'd mention it... and yes, I've tried rose, glasses, glass, looking glass, etc, etc... way too many to remember now. Very Happy

STOL - S to L, small to large...!


I had the same thought, little different conclusion. The quote from Alice in Wonderland comes when she drinks from an unmarked bottle (no "DRINK ME" this time), and becomes large again... she goes from SMALL to LARGE. So good.... now how does that tie in to anything else? here's my thoughts:

1) that's a hint for a password or a directory or a webpage. Tried it as a new directory on little boxes, paranormal journal, and the nekodas and got nothing. tried it as beth's password on little boxes (And tried a user "alice" with that password), nothing too.

2) I've been treating Dina's first song, the picture, as a riddle.... she misses her younger, more innocent self. The question (posed both in the song and in beth's link to it) is "what has gone wrong"... the answer could be that she grew.... she went from small to large. My problem with this, though, is (1) that it doesn't work in the timeline (the song and the Nekodas website are very recent, this pic one of the first clues), and (2) if it is the answer, how does it tie in to the sky.jpg pic?

3) I wish i had a third thought. Everything good comes in threes.

So anyway, right now i'm thinking that we have a username (alice) and a password (stol or smalltolarge or drink or something), we just need a website and a directory. We have two objects left, what appears to be a skeleton (closet? secret? key? what else is a skeleton symbolic for?) and whatever the hell it is she's looking at (I guess it''s a heart, but it looks strange to me. the heart doesn't really have a horizontal line separating the atria from the ventricles. but it could be schematic, or something. There's an actual picture of an actual heart here: http://medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/jpeg5/CV001.jpg). I'm thinking this is either for paranormal journal, beth's archive, or possibly one of the "ismissing" sites [EDIT] oh yeah, and the cascade vortex[/EDIT] - those are the ones we knew about when this pic came out, that work with the spooky skeleton in the shadows theme. But maybe something else? One thing I think we all need to remember, though, is that this is a communication from a hacker for others in his crew.
