 		A quick search of the lostyourpet site (which would appear to be a genuine site), reveals a post for a cat named Erwin.

Erwin's Gone
OK I know this is ridiculous but my cat Erwin's gone missing and I'm actually asking you for help just in case by some weird coincidence some of you might see him. No, it's stupid I can't give out my address here, you know, it's probably not a good idea. It's so frustrating. He's disappeared before for a couple of days, quite a few times. Eventually I called the RSPCA and I had an RFID chip put into him.
This time I'm more worried about him than I've ever been before. It was over a week ago, one minute he was in my room trying to jump on top of the book shelf. It's really narrow and piled up with ornaments and magazines and stuff. For some reason he's always trying to get up there and walk across it. Anyway he'd just jumped up on top of it and I told him to get down but the screeching smoke alarm went off on the stairs and I had to run out to try and make it stop. I nearly fell down the stairs because I was jumping up and down pathetically waving my hands to make it stop. Anyway when I came back Erwin was out in the garden; I just saw his backside disappearing down a hole under the rowan tree.
I haven't seen him since. I've put posters with his picture up on the lampposts round here but they've gone soggy in the rain.

 		Only strange thing I can pick up is, in the Vid Eva says she doesn't have a picture of Erwin, yet she did for the posters...

Heh! I didn't notice that. Good point. I think she meant that she didn't have a picture at that particular time while making the video, not necessarily no pictures at all.

In the first post in her blog is an email address. I sent off a quick email offering to help in the cat search.

The home town listed for her on the pet website is Bristol - so hopefully we have a few people in place in case anything real-world is required Wink

 		Intriguingly, VOIPhe is some kind of offshoot of voice-over-IP technology. I couldn't find out what exactly, but whatev.

Way down at the bottom of the blog you find: EVA'S EMAIL ADDRESS: meSPLATevamcgill.co.uk. I've sent her a message already, so ha ha, broken e-mailer on the frontpage.

 		Quite a little blog backlog this chick has. Nice writing, too. Looks like we're in for an in-depth adventure. Smile

I think that we'll probably have to Sign Up (see the top of the screen), but those links don't seem to be working right now. I'll edit later once I explore the site more.

 		There are three separate references to the Wizard of Oz on the site, dunno if that's significant.

 		Hm... Just speculating here, but...

Sometimes I just go out and walk about. I know it's not really safe to wander around at night on your own but I like it when the streets are quiet. You see things differently. It's like being invisible, like being a ghost wandering through the world. Maybe that's what it's like for Erwin when he goes off on his nightly wanderings.


Obviously she's not really a ghost, but do you think that Erwin used to be Melvin Geist? I'm just totally throwing this out there, but...

Edit:

Alright, so it appears that the only links that work on Eva's site are Home, Archives, and Contact.

That means that About, Links, Your Account, Logout, Member List, Skip to Content, and Read More (on the right-hand side) are all not working as of now.

I dunno... I am kind of put off by the spelling mistakes and the glaring disregard for punctuation. Of course, maybe they want to make her sound like that...

Yeah, I'm guessing it's on purpose. Look at the description on enter-geist.com--very well written. 'Allright' (for example) is a mistake a careless college girl could make, especially with how jumbled (no offense, of course) she seemed in the vid.

 		Rowan trees have long been associated with magick.. offering protection from withces and suchlike.. whether or not this has anything to do with it i don't know, but it's worth bearing in mind, no?

also, i did a search for mcgill on the SRI website and the only reference i could find was something to do with linguistics, specifically germanic.

'rowan is believed to come from a germanic word meaning 'red' or getting red or somesuch.. this is all highly likely to be irrelevent, but you never know eh.

 		Hi guys(and gals),

I've managed to disable my account... don't ask. So I'm a 'guest' for now. Confused

Anyway; I hope everyone had a better Christmas/New Year than I did. Now I've returned to find that the ARG I was playing(poorly) has now completely fizzled and so I signed up for this one and Vanishing Point.

I got the same MMS and .Avi as the rest of you and sent a quick mail to Eva too. Now I guess we're just waiting on an update.
