[Trailhead] Tempus Umbra New arg on Youtube Wow - I actually found something first! At least, I hope I did - doesn't look like part of anything else currently posted. Saw a recently posted video on Youtube that looks like a trailhead - the keywords "alternate reality game" in the post are kind of a giveaway.

Right now there is just a short vid that displays a time-lapse outdoor scene and the text "10-10-10" - seems to be a popular date. I assume something will show up then.

I also believe it's meant to be a game, trying to remember what Tempus Umbra means.

I believe it means "time shadows" (as per the video title)

I think it might be involved with all that "They're Here" stuff.

There is also an old Utube - an art film. I'm sure OOG but interesting

New video posted - trailer? There is a new video up on that youtube channel. Looks like a trailer or some kind of intro and repeats the words "Tempus Umbra - Time Shadows"

So.... What are we supposed to do now? Wait for another video?
At 33 seconds, when the guy is in front of the cave/arch, do you think the stones at either side look like an eagle and a bear's head? Maybe is whishful thinking...
Edit: On second thought, there might be also a third head, that of a wolf or fox. Quick search in Google brought me to a book called "Odd and the Frost Giants" by Neil Gaiman. The plot is about a boy that runs into a fox, a bear and an eagle, who are viking gods that had been transformed into animals.
This same author has a short story called "I Cthulhu", which can be found at http://www.neilgaiman.com/p/Cool_Stuff/Short_Stories/I_Cthulhu . Might be just a weird coincidence, anyway.

pyramid the 'shadow' figure transforms into a square based pyramid - which looks like a globe that has been rendered into such - any ideas?

See what you mean...kind of looks like S.America on the left face and Europe on the right face on the small version, but less so on the bigger version at the end.
Lurking...
EDIT:
Found this...
http://hem.bredband.net/arenamontanus/Mage/Egypt/Umbra.html
...which links pyramids with Umbra.
Umbra is also used to refer to shades, or ghosts living the underworld, which links with the hooded figure in the video.

I emailed the YT account holder (Zach) and got this response...

Hello Cortez,
Thanks for writing! It is actually great to hear from people. Since I've moved out to the country here the calm is really nice but it also gets lonely at times. I don't really know anyone here yet but I hope to meet some people eventually.
Anyway...others have asked about the first two videos that show up on my channel on Youtube. The sad truth is that I have no idea where they came from. I still have gaps in the things I remember, but it is getting better. And sometimes I remember things that didn't happen, or at least that didn't happen for me. That's what they tell me anyway - that they were not real. That's part of why I moved out here in the middle of nowhere - just to get away from the crush of the city. I should probably talk about that a bit on my next blog.
I have no idea why I wear an LA cap. No, this time I don't mean that I don't remember it, I just have no particular reason. I was in LA on business last year and it was very sunny and I forgot to bring a cap so I bought one there. It seemed appropriate to buy one that said LA, and I've just worn it ever since. No reason. I've visited LA several times. It has it's nice spots but it's very different from New York and I don't think I'd want to live there. I think it's also one of the few places that make New York traffic seem mild by comparison. 10 lane highways with traffic jams at 10:00? And they say New Yorkers are crazy? BTW - I've been to London several times and love it there. Haven't seen much of the rest of the country but had a great time in the city there.
Glad you like my glasses - some people think they are "retro" and some just tell me they look dorky. But I like them!
So more blogs to come and either a hacked YT account or a multiple personality/possession thing going on (or he's lying).

I hold onto the fact that the tags in the vids say "ARG".
I sent an email yesterday too, but with only one word in the body (a name of Lovecraft's character) and the Tempus Umbra thing in the subject. However, I haven't had a reply. Maybe my email was not interesting enough as to reply lol. Do you think I should send an email again?

Hello Seyelback,
Thank you for your email. Well, the doctors told me that it was just part of my illness. But I am not so sure...maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. I have been trying to remember my dreams - funny you should ask. I keep waking up and having this idea that I had a dream of someplace so familiar but it just slips away from me. I just don't know...
I used to live in New York City. Such a crazy place, I just had to get away. I have moved to Arkansas - the absolute middle of nowhere. But it als provides me wioth far fewer distractions.
It is going a bit slow, isn't it?

I agree, it is going a bit slow. I'll keep my eye on it though in case something picks up!
