BurntHandle Possible ARG? First of all I'd like to check if it's even ok to start a thread, especially as this is my first post and previously I have been nothing more than a serial lurker here.
Not in a creepy way....
So I've been following the MarbelHornets ARG (if it is one) and was trying to find other similiar creepy ones. I've just gotten into the whole experience, so I'm a bit of a novice of what the best ones are. I primarily like the creepy ones.
Anyway I came across this blog that seems to have some signs of an early stage ARG.
http://burnthandle.blogspot.com/
It seems to be about this girl who has had some odd encounters, some of which have physically hurt her and the activities are increasing. I know it's hard to tell from typed words, but I'm sensing a genuine tone of fear or a very well acted sense of genuine emotions about the events that are occuring in her stories.

It been updated with contact information.
The wierd thing is that she has posted the same picture two times with different names.

Hmm I didn't notice that. Perhaps she did it by mistake. Seems she was flustered trying to get the camera, take the pictures and get them uploaded given the times.

I mailed her with some questions.

I am confound and intruiged by your blogg.
Could i be a bother and request closeup picture of these markings? It could be usefull, either on the blogg or to my mail.
Could you also explaine why you have posted the same picture two times?
Hopefully we could shead some light on this.
Did the burnmark on your hand have any specific pattern or was it just a red area?
Cheers

Oh cool Ptarr looking forward to seeing her responses. I might email her at some point, but I don't have anything useful to say.

Hello
I am glad someone contacted me.
I apologise for posting the same picture twice. I have another picture, not too different that I will upload in the same blog post. I need to illuminate the markings and get a better photo.
The markings on my hand (from the original burning/to when I woke from my nightmare) were shaped like a roughly drawn circle. It was on the palm of my hand and stretch to the side a bit.
Thank you
I hope more people join in on this. Im totaly new to all this and would rather need some help.
The dubble-posted picture has now been removed. But if there it is to anyones interest, the name of the pictures were:
photo0038zm.jpg
photo0040k.jpg
photo0038r.jpg
In order of apperance.
As you can see. I may be looking in all the wrong places.

Ok so we can confirm a few things.
She really doesn't have her name in her email. Just a bunch of letters.
Markings were round...I wonder did they look anything like what's appearing on the wall in her hallway? Why the hallway I wonder...suppose there's no reason she'd know.

I just emailed her, asking her to elaborate on the hut and door handle.

She has posted two new pictures from what seems to be her email.
http://burnthandle.blogspot.com/2009/12/hello.html
As we can see, she recieved another spanish word in her mail, the first one was el tremor which translate to "fear" and the new one mano which translate to "hand" if im not incorrect.
So my deduction would be that these mails are directly connected to the problems she is having.
Also on the subject of the mail is "id becautious" which should be "i'd be cautious"

I feel like an idiot. I just noticed the, "View older posts" button. I never knew about the door handle as such...

I checked up mano and yah it does mean hand. Nice spot.
I'm not sure if there's any point looking at the names of the pictures, not yet anyway. I think she's just labelling them in a generic fashion, but it's a good trait to have with this sort of thing.
I emailed her a question about the markings, but she just posted on her blog that she is going to a friends house, so I might not get a reply tonight. (it's nite here)

Hm, interesting.
I may lurk this for a while and join in if it picks up.
