 		[Puzzle] Is this our mystery Yshklanti?
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TheSomnambulist42
After Kendra's blog update, I searched YouTube for gobbledygook and found this. Could this be our mystery "friend" aka "YshkLanti?" And the voice is definitely female.

From TheSomnambulist42

I thought someone was sneaking into my room at nights, but it seems I have a bad case of sleepwalking. I even write while I'm asleep, but the notes look like a bunch of Gobbledygook to me.

And what the hell is that voice? I think something happened with the camera. Has anyone else had something like this happen? Am I just sleepwalking? Should I be looking for a shrink?

I just can't take it anymore. I'm not sleeping well. So now I'm going to find out who's been sneaking into my room, who's been leaving all those wierd notes. Doing lord knows what with my computer. Now, I'm going to catch him. bastard.

---female voice, sounds like Lanti, but I can't hear it well enough to transcribe it---

He takes notes, then starts entering something into his computer. Then goes back to bed.

 		As I told Sylvia in chat last night, I'm torn as to whether the female voice is Sarah or Kendra (since I definitely think he's our Yshk -- or a gamejacker in which case I'll be really mad). We know Kendra's just recovered from an "episode," but IIRC we still don't know if Sarah's really dead or if she just vanished.

Even if she's dead she could be speaking to Yshk, I suppose... Twisted Evil

I believe that John clarified that her method of suicide was unambiguous as to her survival. That is, it was a self-inflicted shot gun wound which, though as Sylvia (I think) pointed out is an unusual method for a woman, is pretty clear as to its success. So anything we're hearing or might think we're hearing from Sarah would have to be beyond the grave. I think earlier we speculated that Sarah might have been "taken by the sea" or something, in which case she might be freeable.

Assuming again that this Somnambulist is our guy, I did notice he has what sounds like a Russian accent, and the voice that we here while he's writing (automatically apparently) sounds like a computer-generated synth type voice to me. So maybe it's a ghost in the machine?

 		i think the video was too obscure to be a game jacker. I vote for IG video. I mean if this were a video from a game jacker, i would think there would be more of an effort to force the video on us. But Sylvia found the video thru searching of a rather brilliant key word.

i also agree with molecularr; i'd hesitate to conclude that somnamulist is Yshk Lanti, but he's definitely channeling(?) her.

Okay, I must've missed that. I've been a bit out of it the past couple of weeks.

Could be, could be. I'm leaning more toward contact from beyond the grave (or through kendra), though, since he talks about things he's "allowed to see." Sounds more like visions than computer interaction.

 		possession
IMO, the boy's body is being used by (possessed by) someone (for now I will say Sarah). Notice the voice actually comes from his mouth, watch how his mouth moves as the voice speaks. Notice how he jerks just before getting out of bed.

I'll give you it does sound like one of those computer voices, but let's just say that was all the PMs had at their disposal at the moment.

Also, I wonder what night this was filmed cause there could be another message from our "friend" at http://746865656e64.com that we haven't found yet.

ETA: the someone could be Chaya. Since we don't know who she is yet. [spec = Chaya = Sarah]

 		Well, I somehow had the feeling that the accent sounds familiar...
