[Trailhead?] Lingeringwithin
Seems like this guy has some people after him and sleepwalking problems

Hey, I have never really been into ARGs until recently with the whole Junko Junsui mess a while back on /x/ and /b/. I couple days ago I noticed a site posted on /x/

[url]lingerwithin.wordpress.com[/url]

I am unsure if it going to be an ARG or not but it is a fun read.[/url]

Sorry, not to savy with forums coming from 4chan and all. I just checked the site and noticed some changes it look like there is a cipher at the top of the page.

Quote:

It translates into:

Quote:

You shall help him if you so chose. But, you shall also gain his attention. Hiisi will rise


Looks like it could be something fun.

Ooh, looks neat! I've been snooping around a little, so I'll post what I've found so far.

As for "Hiisi", it seems to be like a Finnish demon and/or deity and/or goblin. Obligatory Wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiisi

Also, here's the Twitter account for our afflicted blogger, Kyle Stratus:
http://twitter.com/Lingeringwithin

Finally, he seems to have just posted again, with the title of "You", subject of "are", and tag of "chosen":
http://lingeringwithin.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/you/

A cursory glance of other things tagged "chosen" didn't reveal anything, so I'm going on the assumption that the phrase is supposed to read "You are chosen."

I left a comment with a lame pun (before I saw the tag "chosen", I though he was going all existentialist on us), and asked if his buddy Drake was Finnish. Guess we'll see what happens.

I know very little of SM (just read the Marble Hornets wiki article) so I have no clue. Maybe though?

He's added a bunch recently via twitter.

Just got followed by 'StumbleToMe' on twitter, who has also left a comment on the blog. Anyone got an idea how to decode 'yg3pyb5'?

When I followed that link, I only got a newspaper report about killings in Frear Park, Troy.

Just for the sake of it, the position of the park:
42.7448, -73.673451

The group name is of interest however "hescoveringitup" and the title of: "HE couldn't hide this one. Though he may try"

http://2711692276147753608-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/hescoveringitup/home/newspaper.jpg
That is the newspaper article, however, it wouldn't embed in a img tag

I've took a look at this and my theory is that StumbleToMe is either the killer or Lingering Within is, also I'm not very familiar with the site, but can someone check on StumbleUpon? We might find something there, seeing how the name is "Stumble"ToMe

No, theres nothing on StumbleUpon about "StumbleToMe"

This post was found on www.twitter.com/stumbletome,

Judging from this, StumbleToMe doesn't value humans very highly, assuming we will only be able to STUMBLE upon him/her/it, not find it of our own intelligence. Also, it can't spell.

I'm fairly sure that the killer is Lingering Within; his twitter feed mentions 'so much blood' - although he might have been a witness. I'd guess he's either trying to strike out at the servants of the Darkness/Evil/whatever (those killed were gang members), or has been possessed by it entirely.

It would appear however that he is unaware that he is the killer (Assuming he is). I think (judging from the cuts he recieves) that he is being drugged in some way. Starting on the night he met drake and the other woman.
