I dunno about the Morse. If they removed it, does that mean it was valid and they didn't want to spoil it for us, or that it was invalid and they accidentally tagged it wrong? Baaaaaah who knows >_<


There is no way to tagg something wrong. You have to type it in, so... once you type in morse... it's tagged. If not... well, it's not...

As I said, I think they only tagged it to lead us into the right direction. Now that we followed the lead, they could erase it, because we headed there. Smile So it was a hint that was erased because it became obsolete. At least that's my theory.


I'm confused........what's been deleted?


Orginally the youtube video was tagged 'morse'- and now it's not.


ah, that I did not know lol. I just saw it as "....".

No no - the tagg is below the video. It's just something to group videos into categories. I suppose it was a hint.

Yeah, I can't make sense of the video clip lengths as Morse code - it seems like I was wrong in assuming they're all either 1 or 3 seconds long. Most are, but there are a couple that are (I think) 2 seconds long, as well as the longer lengths.

I have to wonder if the blinking lights are supposed to mean anything, though. It's fairly obvious Morse code, but unless I'm doing it wrong Evan's is I I M, and Damsel's is D.

Oh well. I guess we just have to wait for an update.

I think I just caught something, the name of the song is "Who Could Win a Rabbit" by Animal Collective, so I think we figured out how rabbits are involved in the sing along. It is simply the song used...

On a side note, it's a good song...
EDIT: And the video is really damn strange:

Here's a thought. The morse code in there is actually the entire video - Everything from the lights flickering, to the dots, to the length of the clips in the video.

Now, what if it spells out some sort of anagram?


How dare you, good sir? I am most certainly not lazy!

Well, OK, I am, but that's not the point.

Anyways, think it might be an anagram, guys? >.>

The thing is, if the lengths of the clips are meant to be Morse code, there's no way to tell where to put the breaks between letters. So if it was an anagram, you wouldn't even be able to guess based on what looks like it might form a word. Which would make it essentially impossible to figure out what it really means.

I think we're probably overthinking this a little. If the flickering lights were an anagram, there's really nothing it can spell besides...MIDI, I guess. I think we're either missing something or it's just not important.

Ahh. I see. Well, that blows my theory out of the water.

I don't know anything of morse code, and haven't read House of Leaves(or any real mystery novels), and this is my first ARG. Long story short, I'm just throwing crazy ideas out there.

Also, this text-box bug is REALLY screwing with me. Anyone know how to fix it?

Well how are we deciding letter breaks? Sorry if you said and i missed it- because ....-- could be broken up a number of ways

OK, so the band Animal Collective not only made the song used in our video of Morse & murder, they also made a song named "Did you see the words" Remind you of anything? Let me give you a hint, the person who saw the words still can see the words, can you?

Ya. The songs been used in every "Morse code" video so far. It also mentions Habit. (Its mentioned a few hundred pages ago).

Yeah, that's been noticed too. We've been shaking the Animal Collective tree for a while. There's also a For Reverend Green reference in one of the letters, and a brief reference to Peacebone in Damsel's twitter from back in September.

There's a distinct pause between the lights flickering that I took to mean a break between letters.

If that happens to be wrong, I don't see anything else ....-- could break down into that means anything, but I could be overlooking something.

So I think we're being called Rabbits from what the video says. I'm wondering if they're going with an interpretation of Rabbit. Like a dream interpretation and omen type thing. Alex's background, at one point, changed to a dead rabbit. Omen wise that means disaster is going to happen......as far as we know, Alex isn't around any more. Although nothing has been said about his condition.
Rabbits also mean innocence and timidity. I also think it could be taken in a jokey type way though. More and more people are getting into EMH and rabbits are known for their breeding habits lol.

I forget now which of you mentioned that you watched the video while listening to the full song synced with it, but I thought it was a cool idea, so I did it too. The "habit" lyric that lines up with Baghead seems really deliberate, but I guess it also might just be coincidence, since nothing else seems especially significant when you play the two together (although it does flow pretty nicely).

Edit: Also I would die if the Morse code spelled or was an anagram for "Didz".

I don't know about the us being rabbits bit, but I kind of thought that the sing along bit was a jab at the "put the Who Could Win A Rabbit clips in order" craze from about a dozen pages ago. I kind of figured it was a good-natured nod at how seriously we've all been taking that song (and the music all together).


EDIT: Watching it again, it is just me or is the "him." at the end in the same font as the "Him." from the chart thing that was on the Twitter?
