[Trailhead?] TheDifficulty

Got an email today from a masked email address.. original email was thedifficultySPLATgmail.com with the sender name set as Janice Ha.

I saw an email posted in the Is This Spam? thread and figured I'd start up this thread, as my email was different, and had obvious code..

Contents of the email were:
Quote:

acesdbmamrmkgt bothered my mother yesterday
we've been telling them for years, please leave her alone. she wants nothing
to do with their group.

solace at least.

he watches too often.


Along with an mp3 attached. The mp3 contained fairly obvious reverse speech. I'll figure it out and post it a bit later.

Here is a copy of the original audio file, and a copy of the audio file where I've fixed the reversed audio.

Creepy.

edit - still no luck with acesdbmamrmkgt. I've tried rot, vignere w/keys from the mp3 and email, and crypto. Also tried using the code backwards with no luck.

Sent an email cuz I'm bored. I asked "What the problem is?"

She replied:

Quote:
The problem is me.
Of course.
And the creeping horror I feel,
It will never die
till I do.


So we have to kill her.

i got a message from 'thedifficulty@gmail.com'

they said "im sorry im sorry, im sorry for everything i just cant leave them, im sorry im sorry"

and i emailed them asking whats up, and they said "The message... was meant for a friend. I did not expect it to trail off into the wilderness... especially knowing who is watching."

and the gmail name given is "janice Ha" and i asked them who was watching to which they replied "That's not the best sort of information to be giving out... I... I'm scared for my life. I have done, and seen things... The Bohemian Grove never closes..."

and now i instant messaged with them and they mentioned that the Bohemian Grove is a retreat for the richest of the rich, and she works for them/it. and she was doing paperwork and found 300,000 bucks missing.

She can't do a whole lot, according to what I've read about the club. Women seem to largely be placed in servant type roles, and are only allowed on club property until early evening. It's highly doubtful that a woman would be given access to any type of financial records, nor would a woman have much interaction with the club's patrons.

I emailed asking who was watching, and how I could help.. got this as a reply:

Janice Ha:
ZALGO IS UPON US, GREG


edit - Zalgo appears to mean Ray of Light in Syrian/Lebanese. Not really sure what to do with this one..

Found http://www.rayoflight.net/, but I think it's unassociated. Site title is 株式会社Ray of Light. 株式会社 translates from Chinese as Co, Ltd.

The site has a phone # (03-6809-0997) and fax # (03-6809-0998). Seeing as I feel that it's unassociated, I'm not willing to burn international rate minutes on checking them. If anyone has international calling available and can check the number, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer - I feel like a complete idiot posting after myself over and over, but I just got another reply from Janice.

I asked her what Zalgo was, mentioning that Zalgo meant Ray of Light in Assyrian, and expressing confusion over why she was worried about something that's good..

Quote:
Janice:
ZALGO IS EVERYTHING. ZALGO IS NO THING AND ALL THINGS. ZALGO IS THE GOD THE GODS WORSHIP. WHEN ZALGO INHALES, HE INHALES US.

ALL IS RIGHT. ALL IS RIGHT. ALL IS RIGHT. ALL IS RIGHT.

NO LIGHT. NO LIGHT. NO LIGHT. NO LIGHT.


Again. I've no idea where to go with this.
