definitely looks like prohibition to me - a big bust. Maybe this is to help give us a time frame? 1920 - 1933 in the U.S. It appears to have started earlier in Canada, but I don't know much about their history.

isynsihltogsor - could anagram to: losing his story, or history losings, or gin loss history. There are plenty of others of course. I kinda got stuck on history.

The engine at the end sounds like a train to me. Not sure about that.

The description - "isynsihltogsor" - doesn't ROT to anything. It may be an anagram. "HISTORY" certainly appears there, but nothing clear that would go with it. "LOSINGS HISTORY" doesn't make much sense "HISTORY'S LOSING" maybe? I don't know. Remember the pages have been called "Pages of our history"

question about communication with songwraith

I sent a mess to songwraith on youtube a couple days ago stating my observation that Whydah are a species of bird and a sunken pirate ship (the Whydah Gally) that wrecked in Cape Cod (bascially an "O" area marked on THE MAP), and 6 of 9 surviving crew were tried and hung as pirates in Boston. Also stated that an artifact from the wreck is the oldest reliably dated representation of the hallmark of freemasonry (square and compass), so the crew possibly had access to erudite knowledge and a connection to masonic initiates etc.
My end note stated: Or I am completely off base with all of the above and will continue to scour any resources to understand what you have presented me with...

I dont really know how the communication is with songwraith, but I assume his reply basically means "nice try, no dice though, keep searching". Do you think that this is his polite way of telling me that?

Psysop, sounds like you and I were on the same track. On Oct. 22nd I sent this to songwraith but got no reply, "My overly active imagination can take me to places far off the intended path, so I'm wondering if the Masons and the Illuminati figure into this?" I think you did a superb job with your research, which is not how I came to wonder about the (free)masons. Here are pix of the bird Whydah: http://www.hutterites.org/bridge/wp-content/uploads/Male%20Pin-tailed%20Whydah.jpg and the ship: http://www.atochagold.com/TheWhydah.htm

I expect I'd have gotten some encouragement if the Masons were significant here, so I've ruled it out for now. ETA: Looking back, I wonder if the sculls in the first video were meant to make us think of piracy?

Think the history anagrams are good possibilities. Thinking about the Bump In The Night lyrics made me think of a ghost. That gave me an anagram: ghost is Sir Lyon. Searching for those words took me to this page about Sir Patrick Lyon and the Glamis Castle, which is said to be haunted: http://everything2.com/node/1031148 Don't know if this will be a factor but thought I'd throw it out for your consideration.

Hunting Season vid - Page 6 location...

Hi all, trout me if this has been discussed already (I haven't found it in the threads). From the Hunting Season vid, starting around count 0:19 (this is the great lakes) to 0:25.
At 0:25 "PAGE SIX" is displayed. The location for page six is roughly Columbus, Ohio.

Google Map: Columbus, Ohio

EDIT: VVV -Thanks for pointing that out Tresbien Embarassed , oh lordy, it looks like I have some reading to do on the old post... 17 pages, I love it Shocked

This one will haunt you.

There is a face overlaid in this video at the end. Attached here are the image from the start of the video, the image from the end, an animation showing both images, and the best I could do to extract the overlaid image. It appears to be a scared woman. This image fades in as the engine/train noise starts at the end of the video.

Great catch Pavoreax! Noticed the movement but not the appearance of the eye. I've been comparing your extracted face to the image in Eyes Without A Face but can't tell if it's the same person. Anyone?

Keeping on with the haunted/ghost theme, I worked on some anagrams of female names from isynsihltogsor and came up with: Iris Lyon's ghost or ghost Iris Lyons.

I was just pondering the message in the new video info. "isynsihltogsor"

I noticed there are only 10 unique letters used, and 14 total letters.

In a normal GPS coordinate there are usually 14 numbers used and each number is between 0 and 9.

Not really sure where to run with it, but it was just a possible connection I saw.

There are quite a few anagrams. Some include the word ghost and ghostly, but nothing pops out at me.
