 		I'm pretty certain that should be a Theta if it is in fact a Greek symbol.

A friend told me you might have seen something like this before. Any ideas? I'm really at a loss here. I've been having bad dreams and this was really disturbing to me. There are a lot of similar themes...anyway, just let me know what you find out. Check out my blog at http://dendrologymatters.blogspot.com/, and if I have any other information, I'll post it there.

Thanks.

 		I've emailed Blake to try and keep this rolling... Not sure what help I was but here it is anyway.

Quote:
Hi Blake,

I'm sorry you don't know who I am my name is Leyton Stone and I came across your call for help as it were, by a friend of a mutual friend (if that makes sense?)

I saw your flyer and its graffiti'd alter-ego and have been trying to do some digging and work to see perhaps what it says.

The one thing I can make out is the obvious change in "Seed Giveaway" to "RUN Away" - I also noticed a change, in the part you've typed up as "Hey there amateur botanists!" to what appears to say "Hey there 4eedtanists" or perhaps "Deadtanists" Which doesn't really make sense to me.

The 'signature' at the bottom appears to be one of either "Patricia", "Patrick" or "Patriot" although the last one doesn't seem to make sense do either of the actual peoples names mean anything to you? Sorry, I'm just throwing things out there, trying to help.

Also the sign looks like a messed up "Theta" And there appears to be some kind of coding at the bottom which I'll look more into.

I also heard you've been having some weird dreams which seem to have similar themes... Would you be able to describe them to me? Any help I can be, I'll try!

Hope to hear from you soon and I'll keep checking your blog.

-Leyton D. Stone.


Also Dark, you don't need to "spoiler" tag the emails lol only really puzzle solves and the like Wink

 		I've had an awesome response, from Blake... This is his email to me.

Quote:
In my dreams I'm in the woods, trying to find my way back to a path. The branches are thick and it's too dark to see very far in front of me. The branches are scratching me and I feel a sense of urgency, like I absolutely have to get back to the path before something unspeakable happens. I stumble for a second into a clearing. It's very hot and I'm very afraid, but before I can look up I wake up.

David keeps telling me people are saying there's another video on the youtube channel too, but neither of us can see it. The other flyer is disturbing. I think I see letters in the picture in the "alter-ego" as you said. Maybe there's a word in there?
I don't know who to trust, but the help is appreciated. If you want one of the mystery seeds, let me know.


Okay so apparently there's a "Hidden video" on the Youtube channel. Gonna scan it but obviously all are welcome to do so! Very Happy

But what's even more intriguing than his response... Is the fact he actually EMBEDDED Italicised words in my original email [pretty cool actually took me a moment to spot it lol]

They read as follows:

Quote:
The roots Grave are "Patrick" thirst growing


Just like that... The words in italic were in italic spread throughout my initial email and he had colored Patrick in red; but not in italic. Anagram perhaps? Because "The roots grave are thirst growing" doesn't seem to make sense to me...?

ETA: found another video... It's titled "He's Here" and it can be found here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6DDlWVoN9c

Kinda odd, some noise and cut-aways... At 0:012 you find a barcode which for the life of me I CANNOT scan with my Blackberry Messenger; maybe someone else will have more luck w/ an iPhone or something?

 		Okay sorry to double post but the barcode leads us to the blog (I'm assuming we should have found this video earlier lol)

ETA:

I've emailed Blake the following.

Quote:
Blake,

That sounds like some mad dream dude... Blair Witch style and everything! I don't mind admitting I've had the same kind of thing happen to me, not recently though... But, I do know the feeling of those dreams; the cold sweats and looking frantically around when you wake up, trying to make sense of not only the dream but your surroundings too. - I don't envy you; I know that much.

Any idea what could be causing them? Don't get me wrong I'm not assuming you take any kind of illegal substances haha! But, anything in the realm of normal? Cheese/Chocolate before you sleep, discussions with David or anyone else about creepy things? Movies you may have seen?

When you say people are seeing another vid on YT are you referring to another other than the two already on there? Because besides the weird crap with Dave's door shutting and the creepy voice there's also one with some weird cut-aways and sound interference where it seems your boy might be talking to someone but he's inaudible - And a creepy looking shadow moving behind him.

In discussion with a friend recently I think it's safe to say the name at the bottom of the flyer is the one I assumed it to be but the writing in the scribble under your email address I've been having a difficult time with it, sorry bud.


Also embedded the following italics in his reply to me previously.

Quote:
What roots? Who is Patrick? Why are we typing in code?

 		Okay guys c'mon I'm excited and I don't wanna be the only one doing this!! lol

Another Email from Blake.

Quote:
These weren't cold sweats. When I woke up my body felt like it was on fire, like I actually had run the miles. No, no drugs for me. I've been eating salad a lot lately, but no unusual foods other than that.

I'm not sure what you mean. There's only one video on youtube.


Embedded.

Quote:
break the code roots see.


Okay so he doesn't believe me about the 2nd video so either we have to spot something on that video; OR I need to link him to it... Which sort of seems a bit too obvious.

He's also telling me to break the code; roots see.

Break the code... The Amarni Code?? Kidding...

Roots see... - iPod [Eye Pod]? lol I dunno. Actually that's not a bad guess, whether it's right or wrong...

Someone help me here; my brain's big but it's not huge Wink

 		has anyone looked into the letters at the bottom of the "graffitti" poster? they are really tiny... Crying or Very sad

the letters/numbers on bottom as near as i can tell: E1UBILHNVU

also, the painted tree on the door is now where the fir tree used to be.
it is altered further because inital pic poster by TRodS is a good clear shot, and the one on flyer is altered...maybe contrast cranked all the way up?
and it now has dots on it. They arent dots.... they are the letters..... will map momentarily

the letters are different on the door.... heres a pic: http://picasaweb.google.com/anotherpilotdwn/Unfiction?authkey=Gv1sRgCJzAxfG7zraObQ#5538470148242922226

Looks like to me they are: K()VTINCOS
I cant make out the second letter down sorry guys

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Trust me when I say ignore that particular blog.


Back IG:

I am really not sure where to go w/ this now... Should I link Blake to the second video he and David can't see w/ the shadow? or, what...?

Also about this breaking the code thing? I'm thinking we need another nudge esp' considering barely anybody else seems to be "playing" Sad

ETA:

I've sent Blake the following email with a subtle nudge in the direction that atm not many people are like, involved lol.

Quote:
Blake,

I've been trying to deal with the odecay but still to no avail... Have you or Dave noticed anything remotely helpful to yourselves? I've been speaking with our mutual buddy but he seems to have gone amiss and I'm finding it hard to bounce my theories off anyone to help you guys out.

But here; look... See if you can see this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6DDlWVoN9c

Get back to me as soon as you're able to do so,

-L.D.S.


ETA 2: Btw the letters on the tree at the top of the altered flyer seem to read.

Quote:
K a m t c i o a s


OR

Quote:
k e m t c i o e s


Working through it as an anagram which it more than likely isn't I've been perusing the following.

Quote:
katias.com

saitak.com

satika.com

taksia.com

sakita.com


None have come to anything so far.

Also tried

Quote:
keties.com

seitek.com

setike.com

teksie.com

sekite.com

ekites.com

and even katies.com (assuming one's an e, ones an a)


-- The 'code' at the bottom of the flyer seems to spell out.

The response was.

If you look carefully you'll see the word "PAST" in there. We're definitely missing something but I cannot for the life of me think what it could be...

 		ok, starting over again Smile went back to the "past":

In Blake's (the friend in the corner who does not own the computer doing wierd things) blog, Dendrology Matters he states this:

November 8th (first) entry: 9:41am Dr. Basire gave him a sapling to look after and identify. He said he has 1 semester to figure out what said tree is. He also stated he was going to be planting it in a friends backyard. Blake then goes on to state "it's little more than a black stick, but there does appear to be a little spot of red. Maybe just a blemish?" hmm

November 8th (second) entry: 10:53am Blake states he actually planted his little pet project on Sat the 6th at his friends house. He just started the blog late. When Blake measured said tree, it had already grown an inch! It also had moved to the left an inch. He stated he took pictures, but they were not posted to this site. He then stated that he would keep posting.

November 9th (third) entry: 5:59am Blakes states he has a horrible headache and tossed and turned all night. He also stated he had some bad dreams and would check plant later.

November 9th (fourth) entry: 10:51am Blake is astounded as his little tree grew again! He states this: "has sprouted these strange seeds like I've never seen before on the sides of it's..trunk? It's about 2 inches thick at this point. Anyway, get your souvenir! " He added the unedited "seed giveaway" flyer that contains his email.

November 10th (fifth) entry: 9:06am "I received a strange email yesterday after putting up my flyer. Can anyone make heads or tails of it?"
Contains edited flyer pic. There are letters on the very bottom, as well as letters on a higly contrsted tight pic of the door w/ tree painted on it in Foe's volg from the 7th. Could the heads or tails be our clue? Also Lettering has been turned red, and dead and the name Patrick have been scrawled onto it. Could Patrick be Prof Basire's first name?

This is all there is to Blake's blog I'm thinking about trying to hunt us stuff about this Dr fellow ...

beginning of vid blog from Outstrechedfoes Youtube acct.

November 7th (first) submission: Him and his friend Blake (only one actually named) are sitting vloging about Foe's wierd experience. States that he's been watching creepy vids and woke up to all icons gone except a link to wierd vid which is they played. They decided to throw it out there and ask if anyone else has seen this type of thing before.

At :28 to :30 you see Blake react looking off camera.
At :30 Blake's attention is brought back to camera by mention of his name
At :31 Blake looks down in a thinking manner, shakes off what he's feeling, half-smiles and then introduces himself
At :35 Blake immediately goes back to looking off camera
At :36 Blake looks back at camera, then goes back to looking off camera
At :38 Blake begins swapping attention between off camera and on camera.
At :40 Blake looks back off camera. From here to :44 he continues too look off until first unexplained noise occurs (thump) an then he looks directly at his friend (David/Foe) and then the camera.
At :45 you see first Blake, then David react to a sound off camera. (sounds like 2 thumps) Blake then leans forward and states "for the record, I know what's going on, the house is haunted, it has ghosts."
At :48 David states that he does not believe the house is haunted, but "we'll see"
At :50 Blake looks off camera while David is speaking an after looking back off camera mouth's "It's haunted" or "this house is"while nodding affirmative.
At :52 Blake heckles his friend by stating "check it out" as if in a we'll see stance.
At :53 creepy vid begins.

nov 7th vlog continuation
sorry for multiple posts, just trying to break up through sequence and having rough time typing Smile
Begin "creepy vid"
At :53 we see a negative shot that remains through video. The primary focus at first is, what we are lead to believe is his web cam on top of his computer. You can see his desk chair and the picture in the background.
At :54 the camera begins to move on its own. "spliced in" is a b/w pic of a door with a leafless curly branched tree painted on it.
At :56 you see the top of his monitor, the right wall w/ keyboard (it has something on it), Foe's open closet door, and then stops when a sleeping Foe comes into view.
From :58 on off camera you hear either movements or clicks of some sort. The most audible to me is at 1:11, 1:16, and a decicive "keystroke" at 1:19. You also hear what apears to be mic disturbance. This must be whomever messing with his keyboard ect removing icons and placing vid on desktop.

At 1:22 there is a distorted repeat of what Blake had said toward the end of the normal video. I believe it says "it was him" or "this house is". Shortly after, Foe's closet door shuts by itself, Foe moves in his sleep in reaction and vid ends.

At this point, I believe Blake put the vid on unknowingly, thus the "bad dreams" he had on the same night the vid was put on friends machine. He was puppeted there, moved the cam, and posted to friends desktop. Maybe that's why he's sort of smarky is because the entity is taunting him making him remember bits and pieces and also why he is so sure the house is haunted. Little does he know the direct relation between his friend Foe, himself, and the "haunting/bad dreams" it the tree his bot prof gave him to "study" that he planted in Foe's backyard.

 		Nice work APD... It's evident this has something to do w/ the plants. (Day of the Triffids anyone?)

The friends name is Dave/David by the way; Blake references him a couple of times in his emails to me.

I'm going to ask if he's spoken to his teacher lately and also ask to see the photos he hasn't posted.

I also think that the letters mean something; maybe the whole lot together?

Quote:
K E M T C I O E S F I U R I L H V U


or

Quote:
K A M T C I O A S F I U R I L H V U


altogether; something there maybe?

I also believe the voice at the end of the first OutstretchedFoes video is saying "We're watching" or "We're watching you".

What about the second vid, APD?
