 		The National Geographic Channel, as part of its expedition week series, is featuring the Whydah story. There's some video here about it: http://tinyurl.com/5fj8qz

 		Did any one check to see if the train noise at the end was actually some thing backwards. Sounds less train like and more distorted backwards talk, lol.

If you want to give that a try, here's how to do it with the free Audacity program: http://www.5min.com/Video/Using-Audacity-to-Reverse-a-Song-26368623 It doesn't sound like speech to me, though. It sounds mechanical like motorcycle/car/train engine to me but I'm unsure. ETA: Maybe it's a ship's motor? Found an interesting site with a variety of sea sounds here:

Actually, yeah, I tried that, thinking the same thing. But it doesn't sound like speech or anything when reversed. I can create an MP3 if anyone wants to hear it for themselves. Let me know.

ETA: I went ahead and created the MP3. Here it is.

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.


going along with that, the music playing sound like 1920's silent film soundtracks. definitely think there is something relating to that era

 		Did some searching for the music at the site below, but it's not any of these songs: http://www.rhapsody.com/playlistcentral/playlistdetail?playlistId=8593491

After listening to the video a few more times, I think the sound at the end is a train.

ETA: Still playing with anagrams for isynsihltogsor. One that caught my attention is: son's girlish toy. Could the doll from it can't rain all the time belong to a boy?

Welcome Rhetlok. The simplest way to begin is to read through the thread from the beginning and watch each songwraith video on youtube in the order they were released. If you think you've figured out something we missed, note it to yourself but wait to post until you've read the entire thread. Be sure to send your physical location to songwraith via youtube messaging as that might lead to one of the history's pages being hidden in your area. Anyone who's new might find it useful to read http://www.giantmice.com/arg-quickstart/ as well as the uF terms of service. ETA: And the search function at the top of the page can be your friend. Smile

 		Back...
Well I'm back after catching myself up on the forum here. I can't say I've really found anything that seems terribly relevant at the moment but there are a few connections I've been mulling over that I'd like to throw out.

I keep coming back to the dutch for a number of reasons. 1) The door knocker picture. 2) The page mentions settlers that moved south from Boston and much of that region was colonized with dutch influence. 3) We know the prison city is a port city and, coming back to the whale picture from It Can't Rain All The Time, the dutch were quite involved in whaling especially in New Bedford and Nantucket.

I have no idea what that might help with at all but hey, it's something.

I also played around with an anagram solver and isynsihltogsor.
http://www.ssynth.co.uk/~gay/anagram.html

Unfortunately there's a ridiculous amount to sift through so if anyone else wants to browse it feel free.

Edit: Went back and realized that the door knocker didn't point towards the dutch at all. Struck that section.

 		I've also been playing with the anagram of isynsihltogsor. The only one that I like is, "his story is long" because we jumped forward considerably in time from the witch trials to the prohibition era.

 		I may be way off here, but:

An echelon is a signals intelligence network.. essentially a place where information is intercepted.. something to be wary of.

Wraiths can be omens, but they live as shadows, doomed to exist between worlds (unending life). They are also viewed as guardians (carefully protected), and they have the ability to shape shift (deceit).

Is anyone else reminded of Saw?

That's all I got.

 		"His Story is Long"
"His Story Is Long" is certainly is one of the best anagrams I've been able to come up with too. It throws me off though because we're mostly focusing on the prison city's history and it keeps being referred to as a woman.

I do like the signals intelligence network connection. I looked at it a lot early on, but it was pointed out to me that we have no clue exactly how long the time line of this history extends. Though I suppose that with the most recent video we can assume it's going to span a large period of time.

I have one, nagging little annoyance that just keeps coming back and making me wonder... Did anyone ever make heads or tails of the title of the leathery page we got a while back?

Random letters? Code? I haven't been able to turn anything up and I apologize if someone did figure it out a while back. But I keep feeling like there's something to that title...
