It is a puzzle!

solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
strange things are happening no one else believes


method:
If you look at the bottom of the bumpersticker, you'll see a bunch of symbols. I just substituted them for letters (to make it easier for my brain to register, no real other reason) and then did a simple substition.

So, I assume that this means that Wes Keeler is having strange things happening to him as well?

Thanks, imbri. I was going to see if those were the symbols from the Lord of the Rings, but a simple substitution would work as well...

 		Thanks, Tien. The substitution ciphers are the same, so this should speed up any future solves.
