Hey, has anyone tried to match the light flickering with morse code? I tried and got:

Code:
--.--.--..--.. (5s) -.-.-.-..---.. (10s) --..-.-


I cleaned it in GoldWave, speed it up a little, then reversed it and it was saying Alex.

Someone else try to turn the contrast up, color up, and the brightness down. It made it easier to see the flashes in the two lights.


Without knowing were the letter breaks are it really can't be translated.

For example, the 1st section, if broken up as

Code:
--. --. --.. --.. 


That equates to:

Code:
GGZZ


If you break it up as

Code:
- -.- -. --. .-- ..


that comes out as

Code:
TKNGWI



Hey, it's my first post! Anyway, someone commented that , perhaps you have to reverse the morse code, just like reversing the audio. If you do, you get IGWAKT. Still as unhelpful as the rest... Perhaps if you could break up the rest of the morse into letters, too?

Well, like I said, I'm new with Morse code. Was hoping for someone who had successfully done it before to attempt it.

Can you do a slow down of video in Vegas Movie Studio 6.0? If so how, or is there anything else I could use?

I could possibly do a slow down later tonight after work. I'll run it through Final Cut. Anything else you'd want me to do with it?

try to get it at 0.250x speed. Then, try to do three read offs on it, and post your results here, don't bother translating it, or adding spaces. Then, upload that video here. Also, quote of mine from other thread.

Quote:
I'll try and do another run through right now. This'll be my second. Maybe if we do it enough, it will average into something intelligible?

Edit:

At any rate, I've gotten this so far:

Code:
1. --.-..-..-..-
2. --.--.--
3. --.--.---..---. (This one is just 5sec in...)


Each number is a different run that I did, but I was unable to complete the whole video...

Anyway, for number 3, when I divided it up, it gave me "MANMNAME"

I did divide it up like this:
Code:
-- .- -. -- -. .- -- .


Edit:

I'm almost positive that the first 4 is --.-

It was too big to upload here as an attachment.

So I uploaded it to youtube, feel free to steal it:

I reduced it to 20% it's original speed. Good luck guys, I have no idea how to even translate it into dots and slashes.

Posted this in the trailhead but thought I should add it in here:

I'm sorry I didn't have time to read the entire thread but I have been following the SA Forum on this.

In the Deluge video, we know the audio is Alex backwards with the lights flickering. But audio of Alex is said 4x. Not in a set pattern. It (Beginning)Alex, Alex (pause) Alex (Pause) Alex (Pause)(End). In morse code thats . _ _ _ which is the letter J. totheark is warning J that he is watching him, which is also seen in the Exit video.

I believe that all the totheark videos are directed towards J. I have a guess on the Program video too, if anybody wants to hear it.

I could easily be looking to far into these videos trying to make an ARG feel, but who knows at this point.

That is something I didn't even think of. Good work. Very Happy Fits with my Brian is totheark theory as well.

Also posted in the first thread, backup proof: If you reverse and speed up the sound in "Program", you get 4 beeps. 1 short and three long. Again, . _ _ _ = J

I thought I should just chip in with a few thoughts related to the Deluge video and his name.

For those who are unaware, a Deluge is a severe flood, one best account being the story of Noah's Ark. totheark can be split into the words To The Ark, which is probably in reference to Noah's Ark and the story. Granted, I'm sure a great deal of you have picked up on that, but I also remember hearing of stories about creatures similar to Slender Man that fed off of children of men, but I can't precisely cite that.

Ultimately, I wonder if there are more biblical references scattered about and if there are hidden clues within the Bible, or if this is all just symbolic. Anyone else make these connections?

Taken from the Marble Hornet's wiki, a lot of TTA's stuff has to do with religious stuff. I believe Yama was the latest one, something to do with Buddhist Hell, as well as his age being akinned to the Qua'ran.

The first time I watched this video, although the audio has clearly been messed with, I heard something perfectly clear which I think people may have missed in attempts to "restore" it to decode it. I think the altered audio has a message as well.

To me, the voice in this video is clearly saying the word "miasma."

This word is defined as:

1 : a vaporous exhalation formerly believed to cause disease; also : a heavy vaporous emanation or atmosphere <a>
2 : an influence or atmosphere that tends to deplete or corrupt <freed>; also : an atmosphere that obscures : fog

From an alternate source:

1. noxious exhalations from putrescent organic matter; poisonous effluvia or germs polluting the atmosphere.
2. a dangerous, foreboding, or deathlike influence or atmosphere.

You get the point.

This would seem to relate directly not only to the air of obscuring forces that seem to surround Slender Man and cohorts, but also to J's coughing fit in the same house that appears to be featured in this video -- and it appears that the figure in the video seems to be suffering a similar ailment.


What is the nature of Slender Man's miasma?

Okay, trying to decode the light/morse code It's so fucking hypnotic! I've slowed it down, but the more I watch it to decode, the more I zone out. Anyone wanna give this a shot with me? I'll upload the slow lights to youtube if so.

Have a feeling the morse is backwards. I can't reverse video in stupid movie maker, but if I could decode the whole thing, I could reverse it.
