I just posted a couple of differences I noticed, I'm sure there are more but I've got other things to do at the moment Razz

From Bea's comment, I'm assuming it will be something in the Prefab, but I'm guessing it hasn't been revealed yet.

There's a new lengthy post by mravoncroft on the ASAP board about the history of the Prefab and the next house to be photographed. He mentions that the former owner was named Betty Stokes. Then I found this page which mentions her. I know it's oog, but it might come in handy.

Well since visitors are able to touch things, even if they're not supposed to, that kinda kills our theory of "spotting differences" at least for now. But yay for Bea's creepy feeling, I was hoping this would be a scary story of sorts.

Hey all, just signed up for this; looks interesting. Probably not important, but the closeup shot towards the middle of the video
http://www.youtube.com/user/AvoncroftMuseum

looks a lot like BusyBea and Anna D from the Avoncroft forum...

Also a little deeper into that alcock green site
http://aghs.jimdo.com/acocks-green-s-vulnerability/incendiary-bombs/

gives a pile of information on who died in the area, survivor accounts, and cool posters like this

Couple new posts, including this from Bea:

Quote:
We weren't very busy yesterday afternoon. I don't think that many people would have been in the prefab in that last hour or so.

I don't know how to describe the feeling... sort of like something was there that wasn't there before, perhaps? I'm not always the best at noticing things, it could be something that someone else would notice right away, you know, if you were there.


Maybe we should reexamine Bea's pics and look for something that wasn't there in the other sets.

Hmmm, this seems weird. The first set of pictures Anna posted have old time stamps. 9 or the 10 seem to be from Jan 21 2005, while one (the outside view of the full prefab with the posters in the window) is from Sept 28 2008. All the ones in the second batch are appropriately recent. Aren't these pictures supposed to be recent? I thought maybe a camera had the wrong timestamp on it, but why would there be different dates? And if we are comparing pictures of the same things years apart, what is it telling us?

Will ask them...

Ah yes I was going to check that because the filenames were the same as from a camera so I didn't think they'd be edited, but it completely slipped my mind. My guess is the PM's forgot those could be viewed (Or didn't know) because I can think of no IG reason for it.

Do they? They were definitely all taken last week. We used a couple of different cameras, if that makes any difference? I don't know much about cameras really I'm afraid... but the pictures were definitely taken last week. Unless we travelled to the past or something, haha!

We had to replace the batteries in one of the cameras, if that's relevant at all?

We definitely weren't taking pictures in 2005 - I don't think I'd even heard of Avoncroft in 2005!


Sounds like an OOG error; moving on...

Unless it's clear that it's an error, it might not be and may actually be relevant.

Usually, in the case of an error the best practice is to simply fix it and not refer to it at all, remove all trace of the error in the first place.

Until we know more, don't know if we can make that decision.

Yeah definitely, considering the one with the child's horse moved has the same timestamp as the other one with the horse, meaning they were taken within seconds of each other. I think we can definitely conclude the picture properties are OOG. Rolling Eyes

ETA: Haha Nighthawk, guess we have different opinions on this one Razz

ETA2: These are the pics I'm referring to, obviously the horse has been moved 3-4 feet and yet if the timestamps are IG the photographer wold have had to been there, also they were posted by different people.

New post from Anna; seems to be poking us in the direction of finding something that shouldn't be there?

Quote:
Weird. Maybe something HAS changed, or there's something there that shouldn't be, or wasn't there before or something. That's kind of creepy...*shudder*

The toll house pictures are up. They expect questions, but there isn't much to ask regarding the displacement of objects, seeing as how there aren't multiple shots of the same area...yet.

Lots of new posts. I guess what we were missing was the birthday card.

I thought the paper thing in front of the vase looked bigger in the later pictures, but my fiance convinced me it was just the difference in distance, position, and perspective, so I ignored it.

ETA: Probably not related, but there is a Georgian woman currently claiming to be 130, although it hasn't been verified. Interesting though...
