Looked up the address on Google maps - the building DOES NOT FIT the video. The Inn in the video is clearly at least semi-detached to a neighbour, and appears to be along a main road.


The footage doesn't scroll very far sideways so that's no guarentee that it is semi detached. Also where do you see a main road anywhere in the video bar the road going into darkness?

The person with the camera appears to be in a car, the buildings are close to the road and the Inn is clearly attached to something else. The Woodland Inn in Jermyn, PA would appear to be a standard roadside motel/restaurant by the layout. Very Psycho, but not so fitting with this.

The ?land Inn is going to have fancy ironwork posts on part of it's exterior. You can see by the shadows they create at the 1:23 mark of the video.
If we can find exterior shots of inns matching those posts, we can definitively set where the video was shot.
Also, any luck on cleaning up the video to find out the license plates of the vehicles?

I've hunted for the ironwork, I've hunted for the Inn, I've got nothing. And I'm pretty sure we'll get no license plates. The video is too low-res.

I have been staring at W8TP's page for about 3 hours now, blowing off work (boss is not a happy camper at this moment).
Converting the KY-4047_|7730-HC1-522694 to all numerics =
1125-4047_|7730-831-522694, converting to all alpha =
KY-D0DG_|GGC0-HCA-EBBFID
It's still looking like nonsense to me.
KY-4047_ could mean Kentucky (ZIPS include 40472 Ravenna, 40473 Renfro Valley, 40475 Richmond, 40476 Richmond)
7730 still alludes me.
HC1 could mean Hazard City 1, but Hazard's ZIPs are 41701, 41702. However, interestingly enough Hazard's population is 5264, removing the extra digits from 522694 we get 5264 and 29 left, both in the center of the 522 and 694 strings.
I am beginning to feel like Agent Milton Dammers from The Frighteners (headache included), now if I could only feel like John Nash...

I too have been staring at the YT profile. Some of it still is encoded. I think that the plain text is a key to decode the rest of the text or at least gives us a hint. THiS GaMe iS ReaL could be an anagram for THe SiGMa SeRiaL, or something other gibberish.

There must be a clue in THiS GaMe iS ReaL why would he choose to make the vowels lower case and that is one of the codes that hasn't been cracked yet.

Also what about the pulsing sound on the video? It's there all the way throughout? Does that mean anything? spell out another code or anything?

so, i've been lurking this ARG for awhile. I found something interesting:

Using Google, I started searching things about the "Companies" line.

KY-4047_17730-HC1-522694

i found this site:

http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:FquOdq1WwtwJ:www.in.gov/dot/div/contracts/letting/old/mar08/mar26/EmailInbox.xls+aol+533694&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

this seemed to be from the same server as 2 sites i found when searching the dates in the "Occupation" line:

http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:Yg0bvlcGCXoJ:www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/10153.pdf+9/13/07&cd=8&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:MmmUjiXBVdcJ:www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/02179.pdf+5/20/08&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

which leads me to believe that "HC" is "Harper Company" I went to their site, lo and behold, it's located in Kentuky.

interesting hey?

i'm going out with friends, but i'll keep looking into it and keep you updated.

And with that, I'm out. I don't see how logically you'd put those pieces of information together. This game seems to have too much PM interference. Or is it just me?

Back to KY again!? He's already confirmed NOTINKY by his letter, I think the visit line is the trip he made to leave the package. Anything involving KY is out... Moving on...

I vote troll as well, the architecture denotes something with a Spanish influence from the adobe? walls and the ironwork posts.
Not to mention - the 1st Google search terms link to AOL and 533694, not 522694, and no where have been given a clue or deciphered a need to search for AOL terms.
Here is what the true Google Search links to with the search phrase "KY-4047_+|7730-HC1-522694" -
http://www.google.com/#q=KY-4047_+|7730-HC1-522694&hl=en&filter=0&fp=7918fbbdb8d38d58

lol! ok this is my thinking. i really believe that the filming took place in hazard, google walk that place. now in the PM's reality, he's not in KY though. ok fine, we can all make that mental leap. Thats like when Star Trek was filming scenes for Iowa here in town in our fields in Cali.

so now, could someone please start a wiki so we can have all our info in order. that way we know what to solve, can list everything found in audio together, ect. I would, but I have no idea how... we do need it all together though. right now this is a round robin where info is concerned.

Hey, would anyone mind summarizing the last like...10 pages for me? I've been absent from this thread for a day or two, and I'm awfully too lazy to sift through the last 10 or so pages to find the actual important information over the unimportant shit.

Thanks.
