Yeah the base64 was behaving strangely, you had to put all of the messages together to make any sense of it, even then the fourth page was messed up.

And yes, puppy eyes... I'm pretty sure I have a crush on him!

Billy Brown asked a good question and got a /definitely/ important answer! Who's BB? It's one of y'all I know.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I do wonder if the mystery girl from your (creepy) story links in to the 'she' the guy from the tumblr site has been speaking about in code. Did you hear anything else about that girl (or the guy in the suit) after your camping trip?

I left a comment before you moved the site that I would be interested to read the answer to if you don't think I'm being too intrusive. Now that you've opened up a little about your shrink, etc. I'm hoping you'll be happy to speak about this.

Clearly, there's some freaky stuff happening here and it's good to see that you're starting to take stock rather than ignoring it and hoping it'll just go away. I'm sure if we all collaborate on this we can help you get to the bottom of what's going on.

In order to do that, though, we need to know for sure that you're being completely open with us. In an earlier video after someone left you that empty box, there's an open document on your monitor that seems to say: 'I'm having the dream again. I'm afraid it's happened again.' Did you write that? If so, can you tell us about this recurring dream? Did you have the dream again (or any other relevant dreams) during your week-long slumber? Do you talk to your shrink(s) about your dreams at all?

Reading that back it comes across in an accusatory manner. I don't mean any offence at all; it's just that if you have any more information that you're holding back on then we need to know it. You can trust us. We're here to help.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
No, I've never heard anything else about the girl or the guy in the suit aside from when one of the friends I was with at the time brings it up.

And yeah, sorry I didn't answer your comment before. I was in the middle of getting this site ready, so I stopped answering comments after a bit.

I'm kind of surprised you managed to read my screen, the video quality on that video was particularly bad.

But yeah, that's exactly what I wrote. It is a dream that keeps recurring. I honestly can't remember a whole lot of it, but what I do remember bothered me enough that I brought it up with non-pill shrink.

She told me that it's just a way for a person to work out anxiety and personal problems. I didn't really get a whole lot more out of her about it other than her suggesting that I keep a dream journal. If you're familiar at all with shrinks, they like to give patients "homework", different tasks and such to help them get through their daily lives and such. The dream journal, like most homework was something I never really did.

If I start having the dream again, I think I'll start keeping a journal. If anything interesting comes of it, I'll post it.

As for the actual content of the dream, there's not a whole lot to say. I can remember being in a dark place with a bunch of people around me murmuring or chanting something I can't make out, then after that, I just sort start falling into complete blackness.

That's all I remember. I haven't had the dream since I wrote that e-mail.

Oh and don't worry about sound accusatory or anything. It was perfectly reasonable. Anyway, I hope that gives you a better idea.

Hello! I've posted a few times in this thread; it's my first time being in on the ground floor for one of these so I'm delighted to have had some positive input.

I can't take credit for making out the text on his monitor by the way; that was Tex way back on the first page of this thread. I just felt that it was an important thread that we hadn't really followed up on, so I'm glad something seems to have come of it.

Commenters on GBJ's site: I think you're on the right track!

I sent IIAE a message in the same code as the one that showed up in GBJ's letter. After a few emails I asked IIAE if there was anything I could do to help.

IIAE replied:

Shexists.


Shexists, Interesting?

Great stuff, Shallow Violet! How did you get to emailing back and forth with IIAE? Did anything else interesting come out of it?

There's a YouTube account under the name of shexists but it doesn't seem to be linked to the game:

Nice, SV! So "Shexists", "... people around me murmuring or chanting" and (from the earlier morse code) "She Introduced Him To The Others" feels more like a partially recovered memory than an anxiety dream per se.

Yaha, stating the obvious Laughing. My point being we may need some more help from GBJ and/or IIAE to "find her".

I've just been watching some of the videos back for anything we might have missed so far.

GBJ's last video made a point of the fact that he had a small bottle of water with him during his trip to the woods before he was dragged off and then fell asleep for a week. Then, looking at IIAE's video of the same incident, it begins with the heavy breather (IIAE?) watching GBJ as he swigs from that same water bottle before all the freaky stuff starts. Have we overlooked the possibility that the person behind the camera knew to film from then on was because they had tampered with the water? Was GBJ's mini-coma deliberately induced?

Also, this may well be nothing, but at around 3:28 of GBJ's woods video there is the end of a little sped up section that very deliberately focuses on a muddy patch on the ground briefly -- it's out of place with the rest of the video, which makes me think it could be of interest. Could there be something buried there?

All I did was send IIAE a message in that Freemason's cipher stuff via Megauploads (see attached). "We should talk." and an email address.

The Thrilling Exchange! My messages were deleted so I had to guess at what I said.
Quote:

IIAE: What about?
Me: We share some concerns.
IIAE: What concerns?
Me: Regarding our friend Jeremy and his condition. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
IIAE: Find her. Tell others.

Shexists
Me: She will be found. Keep in touch.


Hmm.

New IIAE post up, another sound clip. Seems to be hex again. After several listens I get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
35 68 33 78 31 35 37 35 20 37 75 6D 62 6C 33 20 34 72 30 75 60 64 20 34 60 64 20 66 31 60 64 20 68 33 72 3E


it sort of translates to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
5h3x1575 7umbl3 4r0u`d 4`d f1`d h3r.

Is that l33t for "Shexists. Tumble around and find her?"

Was JUST coming back to say that. LOTS relevant over there:

Quote:
I hope he's not having these dreams, all that's left in me is an echo. He actually has part of it in him.


Quote:
I hope he's okay, wherever he is. Despite what he did, I still worry about him; and after all, I'm the one that got him into this mess. It's really my fault that he did what he did. He was sick and I wanted to make him better.


Quote:
If everything went the way it was supposed to, he won't remember a thing.


Yeah... I'd say this is the "She" we've been wondering about. I'm fairly new to this... so, what's next? Dropping her an email? Her tumblr doesn't allow comments, alas.


EDIT: Actually I don't see an email link either... okay...
