 		[EMAIL] Dale, July 20th
Quote:
I'm sorry for having worried you and others. By now you know at least the beginnings of why I wasn't in touch for a few days, and this email is the start of correcting that lack of communication. I fear I am being suspected of setting the fires, but I do have people who believe in me and know I didn't do it as well, including both Chief Prufrock and Mayor Dobbs, I think. So I'm hoping that can be resolved without anything too serious happening.

I've been up all night, digging through everything I've found and put together. I've been going over and over things, trying to figure out how they might fit together, and what they are meant to tell me.

First though, I want to back up a little. How much do you know about this area and its rather unusual history? It seems our little town of Aglaura (or should I say Ongs Hat?) has been the center of some strange happenings for a long time, and I don't just mean the Jersey Devil nonsense and stuff like that. That's just the tip of a very big iceberg. It's almost as if the location itself has something special or weird about it, either some type of magnet or even source for strange phenomenon.

Of course, I've known about the town's history for quite some time, everyone who lives around here does, but it's been one of those things you just push aside and don't think about in your day-to-day life. It's just doesn't seem to have any relevance when you are trying to put in enough hours to pay your bills, or get to the school play on time, and so on. But, that may be just why all of this is happening.

I don't won't to get too lost in this heavy metaphysical stuff right now though, I wanted explain to you what I was doing on last Tuesday night a week ago, what I was looking for and thought I could find. That was the night when all of the fires around here happened, after I went out looking for some additional clues and answers.

"Six voices with one tongue will call
A secret hidden behind the wall."

I thought for sure that there would be something waiting for me, the next piece of the puzzle I'm trying to put together, behind that old wall in the basement of the Aglaura Library. The six voices (the missing masks, I thought), the dreams I had about the 307 symbol on a wall that looked like that - I was sure they were all signs pointing me to that spot. And then there was the fact that the library building has quite the history itself, and is one of if not the oldest structures in the town.

It's rumored that the fabled "Doctor of the Pines", an old physician and teacher named Dr. Still, used that building as his clinic, for dispensing his natural (and some say supernatural) remedies to the local people back in days when the town was a center of activity in the area, back in the mid to late 1800's. It's also said he was involved in many secretive and unusual things, but that could be because of the part he played in the Underground Railroad from the Civil War.

Anyway, I wasn't positive there was something hidden somewhere in that old building but, as you probably know by now, I didn't find anything, despite gaining access to an storeroom beneath the oldest part of the library.

Damn, the sun is coming up already. I had plans to get much more done tonight and these emails sent hours ago, but I have a tendency to get lost in all this stuff, as there is just so much to read through and try and fit together. I can't finish this now but I will soon, tonight hopefully, and get into what I think that 307 symbol means and what that image you sent me may be trying to tell us.

Thanks again for all your help with this. It's great to know that there are
people out there who care and are trying to do what they can to make sense of my crazy tale.

I'll be in touch.

Dale

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the image of the 307 symbol and the Aglaura map. Someone else had
sent it to me previously and it's been part of both my speculation and my
searching around the area, too. It's definitely one of the things I want to
talk to you about.


(same stuff as above)

 		Got the letter as well. The only difference was that Dale said he'd call me back soon. Umm, I haven't called him. LOL But he does have my number and I was fortunate enough to talk to him twice last time.

Sometimes Dale can write so much and say so little. lol

 		What was the full link you did get?
Maybe it was something like "warnings" or "beginnings" that got cut off.

It should be 'beginnings', our mails said "By now you know at least the beginnings"

Location of Dr. Still's Office and Residence

Unfortunately, Dr. Still's residence is no longer standing for us 21st century history buffs. But you can visit the location, within one block east of the Rt. 541 and Church Road intersection in Medford (1/2 mile north of the Rt. 70 & Rt. 541 intersection). Look for the blue marker commemorating the spot of Dr. Still's residence. The marker is part of the series of historical markers placed around Medford. Anyone with information about why Dr. Still's residence is no longer standing, please contact editorSPLATMedfordNJ.com


Do you think maybe dale wants us to go here? I got this from the Dr. Still biography and info page I posted above

 		I think he wants us to be aware of the Ong's Hat history. The cult that was supposedly out there doing research on some sort of travel (interdimensional?) using some kind of Egg ship. Magesteff and others found a lot of information on that stuff last time. I think I remember our spec that Dale & Sarah were children put into the egg and sent to the future, or alternate dimension, or something like that.
