"The world doesn't always go from your right to your six. Sometimes it skips steps. Sometimes it goes widdershin."

This to me sounds like some time flux thing or something. Saying that time (or whatever its supposed to be referencing) doesn't always follow the natural order. What I got from the 'skips steps' and 'widdershin' parts anyway.

Then again, i'm probably looking far too deep into this again Razz

Where did this line come from anyway?

I thought it was a necklace or pendant at first, but I couldn't see any chain around her neck and I believe around 2 mins in, she puts it down. It has some sort of antique finish on it and looks 3 dimensional, not like a pendant for a necklace, but some sort of knick knack. But it could mean something or it could mean nothing, lol. Never know! Edit: Looking again, I see a black string, so it's a really long pendant.

@NovaChild -- I'm not sure the "growls" are anything other than growls. Not to sound stupid, but it sounded like lions in "The Lion King" to me. Yes, my knowledge of large cats comes from a Disney movie. I'll download it and see if I can hear anything else.

If we're supposed to be looking for things in the video where we may be skipping frames (going widdershin) perhaps that obvious glitch in the video is some sort of marker. At 3:30 the word "camcorder" is repeated. Am I going way too into this?

There's a black cord around it. It's a locket of some sort, from what I can tell.

Edit ::
When she says 'camcorder' and it repeats, it doesn't sound to me like the full word is repeated. It sounds to me (and my untrained ears.) as
"Camcorder - order"

I think it's a necklace/locket almost for sure now. She has the same black cord around her neck in the first video she ever posted, talking about her new account. You can tell she's playing with something off screen - it must be the same thing.

And yeah, we're probably obsessing over this and it's nothing. Embarassed

I was editing my post when you posted Razz

I've listened to the "camcorder" part several times in a row now and it does sound like "order" or "corder" -- definitely not the whole word.

@Nova - Is there anything to the static. There's some "feedback" in the beginning, but the static seems to get worse and worse the longer the video plays.[/quote]

Yeah, Dawn, it's the opposite when played backwards (surprise, lol). It starts out reeeeeally quiet, but then you hear the loud part and it gradually comes back down until you reach the beginning of the video.

But I don't know what it is. It sounds like growls, or even screams a little bit when played backwards. But this doesn't really help us considering they aren't words or anything.

I'm gonna keep saying this to everyone, though, if you have any means of messing with the audio, please do so. I'm really new and really bad at this. I just used a free software called Audacity to record the audio from the video and then flipped it (if you try it, it's in Effects --> Reverse).

Listened to the audio and gotten nothing that you guys haven't already found. Until Donna replies we don't really have a lot we can work with.

Slowed down
"From the camcorder. Maybe it's the camcorder-corder"

Still no email or tweets.

She said she had no work today (in the video last night.) so she may be sleeping in - or away. Iunno.

@Nova :
I used Wavpad to slow it down - just because that's what I had sitting around, but I downloaded Audacity and I'm going to play around with it on there - changing pitch and stuff to see if I can make it any clearer.

Most I've done with programs like these is cut down songs for videos... so I'm not the best, but, I'm sure working together we can find something Very Happy

Well, she's probably sleeping or just not on her computer. The weather up in this neck of the woods was pretty bad today. We had tons of accidents this morning. Weirdest part? Didn't even snow. It just rained late last night then when the temperature quickly dropped it all froze over. It's fine now, thankfully.

This is the growling part (starting at ~1:20) sped up 300%... It says

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TEC is coming. You have to save Sophie. Tec is coming.


Towards the end of the audio (last half) there's definitely background stuff, but I can't tell if it's added to the track or if it's her playing music or something in the background. Not sure how to filter out her voice to get to that. Maybe not important anyway...

Ah right, I forgot not everyone sweats their ass off when they walk out the door in December. In my area - south Florida, sorta near Miami and Ft.Lauderdale - we had 'record breaking December temperatures' the other day...

In Wavpad there's an option to filter out the vocals. Dunno how it works, but I'll try it in a moment.

Edit ::
Never mind, that's in the full version only. I'll see what I can find in Audacity.

I emailed her and asked if she heard strange noises in the video after she uploaded it. From the video description: "I thought I heard something when I rewatched it, but I get weird audio feedback sometimes." I'm pretty sure if I uploaded a video and watched it and heard loud growling noises there would be no "I thought I heard..."; it would be "OMFG WHAT WAS THAT?". Guess I'm just wondering if it's possible her youtube account is compromised or will be in the near future. Like, someone or something corrupting her videos after she uploads them.

@pantico - Great work! Might tie in to the blog post about "find her".

@Nova - we're still getting that where I'm at. Freezing rain and freezing temps, which is why I'm not working and doing this all morning Wink

Oh hey, don't worry, Pancito just walked in to knock our socks off.
Good. Work. Dude.

So, I realize we're scaring the living shit out of Donna already, but what's the game plan?
Do we just come out and say Sophie's in danger? That TEC doesn't want her, it wants her girlfriend?
Is TEC secretly the swine flu and that's why she's sick?
DUN. DUN. DUUUUUUN.
Seriously, though, what are we gonna do?

I think its safe to say that whoever's messing with Donna's accounts isn't trying to hinder us, but rather help us. We now have 2 people we need to identify, this mysterious helper, and TEC.

Telos, if you can filter out voices in Audacity, could you give that sped up TEC is coming MP3 a try? I can definitely hear something but it's hard to make out.
