Kim Jestem
Discovered Dec 24th. Polish girl stuck in a house 1920's era?

Kim Jestem started following me via twitter: https://twitter.com/kimjestem

She also has a myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kimjestem

She's been twittering in a Caesar cipher, specifically -11 shift alphabet. I've been using the following decryption to read her tweets.

http://web.forret.com/tools/rot13.asp?rot=-11&cipher=

So far, her first tweet is:

Quote:
BEING STUCK IN THE HOUSE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY MEMORIES GONE. WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE?


Second tweet:
Quote:
Need Help...


After which I responded
Quote:
How may I be of service to you?


and she replied
Quote:
FIND MY MEMORIES... I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME...


I replied

Quote:
Well, your name is Polish for starters. What house are you in? Who is keeping you there? Is there anything special I can look for?


On Kim's myspace, there are a few pictures, fairly creepy tbh, of an old butterknife, an old bedroom, and a picture of a General S.W. as well as a picture I'm guessing is of herself.

I have no clue where this is going, but hopefully we shall see soon.

She has on her MySpace, 2 youtube vids titled Jane Green Honey Bunch & Marion Harris Grieving For You 1921.


In the Marion Harris vid.. there appears to be chinese?? and some numbers next to the symbols.

Hmm... why it seems to me the Marion Harris vid never changes? I can only see...

Quote:
Marion Harris
Grieving For You
1921


And the woman at the right hand side... couldn't find any Chinese or symbols...

If there are Chinese, I surely can help to translate them Very Happy

If you put your mouse over the bottom part of the video, there are symbols that come up.

When I put my mouse over the bottom part of the video, it just shows up the YouTube menu to switch to other similar video and stuff...

I view-source the blog and get the original URL of the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqklEphFOGg

I watched the vid there and couldn't find any Chinese or symbol, use my mouse or not...

Ok. So what i did was just press play on the vid and about 2 seconds after it started, I paused it. And then several Different little images of Marion Harris popped up. I scrolled my mouse over it and Chinese symbols came up.

The words on my screencap means "Showing the 1st to the 7th item, 15 items in total", which is the YouTube menu.

I view-source MySpace and saw the embedded YouTube URL for the first vid is:
http://www.youtube.com/v/0H4VUKxWHkk&hl=zh_TW&fs=1&

I think the "zh_TW" parameter forces everyone to load it with Taiwanese Mandarin as YouTube's language settings, overriding your YouTube account setting or general auto-localization.


Edited:

Seeing the vid uploader has uploaded 598 vids in the past 2 years (the Marion Harris - Grieving For You vid was uploaded Jan 09), I think the chance of something is purposefully hidden in the vid for this ARG is, well, lower?

Other observation:

Some other decoded phrase on her MySpace:

Quote:
is trying to collect her memory


Quote:
Find my memory... I can't remember


She also listed "The Open Road London" in the Movie section,
I Google it and it seems to be a silent movie in 1927...

Latest reply via twitter. (btw, she changed her cipher to +11)

Quote:
I don't know where I am... I just can't get out of the house... It's all dark outside...


Of which I'm replying:



Quote:
Is this your house?Is it familiar?What of importance have you seen in the house? Who is General S.W? Do you enjoy Vaudeville?

Td estd jzfc szfdp? Td te qlxtwtlc? Hsle zq txazcelynp slgp jzf dppy ty esp szfdp? Hsz td Rpypclw D.H? Oz jzf pyuzj Glfopgtwwp?


Btw, I'm replying to her in the same cipher as she sends out.

She also uploaded a new picture. Myspace alters photos formatting, so it's unlikely any on the myspace acct are stegged.

Under the photo, in -11 cipher, she says:

Quote:
I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE... BUT WHERE IS IT?

The original of the new pic Kim Jestem (Polish=Who Am I) uploaded to her "przeszłości" album (English=past) is LINK HERE

It's an "Early street view of Coffeyville, Kansas.....Photo taken in 1909."
