Sorry for the double post guys n gals, but got another email from Blake.

Quote:
Dr. Basire is pretty old fashioned, he doesn't touch computers! I checked, I didn't see any strange outbound messages. Maybe your email client is screwing with them?

As for the "haunting" (totally ghosts! lol) David said he saw something weird last night and was going to put up a video sometime soon, but I'm not sure what it is yet. Hopefully it'll be up soon! Maybe email him?

-Blake

P.S., I don't have my records with me, did you send your address for the seed give away? It ends soon!


Saw no 'underlying' message there. My reply to him.

Quote:
Hey Blake,

That sucks I wanted to ask him a question... Has he actually told you the type of plant it is you're studying??

I'll keep an eye out for the new vid but I don't have David's email address what is it dude?? And you don't actually have my address for the plants no. I live in the UK though; you sure you wanna send that far?

-L.D.S


So look out for David's new video - And also a confirmation of his email addy soon.

ETA: follow up email from Blake.

Quote:
Nope, that's my assignment, to identify it. Other than "it's a type of tree" I haven't gotten any other details. Well, other than knowing it's thriving pretty well in the environmental conditions down here. I don't have David's email on hand, I think it's the same as his username though on youtube. We don't email each other much, heh.
As for the seeds, absolutely! More the merrier. It'll be basically envelope size anyway, shouldn't cost much to ship. I got to visit the UK last summer, it's awesome there!

-Blake


-- I've tried emailing Dave.

Quote:
Hey,

Sorry to bother you but I'm just wondering if this is David (OutstretchedFoes from Youtube?) Blake said this is probably your email address but just wanted to be double sure!

My name is Leyton and I've been speaking with Blake in regards to your videos and stuff in your house as well as his tree that he's got growing...

Please could you confirm you are indeed Dave?

Thanks,

-Leyton D. Stone


Also emailed Blake back.

Quote:
Clearly weren't reading your blog right sorry bud! Haha... What are the conditions there, for it to be thriving after such a short time??

I'll try and contact Dave definitely and okay here's my address.

[My address]

Where did you visit here??

-L.D.S

that's why i was wondering about the whole Blake/ Basire connection and dantes inferno bleeding tree.... Our student Blake was given a sapling w red spots by his prof Basire to teach him a lesson.

probably really wild conjecture though lol... kinda am going a little crazy from this puzzle. and its probably a really simple solve too... *sigh*


and yes, Amber is who I am Smile

Well this is where we stand, at the moment.

Quote:
Well David lives in a rental house. The backyard is pretty tiny, but the soil sample I took was fairly healthy and nutrient rich. We're moving into winter but it's staying fairly temperate, it is the south after all!

I was in Oxford for most of my trip, but I also trekked down to London a few times. Glad you're enjoying the blog!

-Blake


Annnnnnd a reply from, David!

Quote:
Hi Leyton! Yup, I'm David. You have any ideas about that weird video?

-David


Going to see if I can squeeze info out of Dave about Blake and this plant.

No new blog entries or vlog entries on youtube yet.

ETA: My email to Dave.

Quote:
Hey David,

Okay you want my honest opinion? Well, I completely disagree with Blake for one thing that much I can tell you. Is it right to assume this stuff happened in your home around the time of ".avi" being posted on YouTube? So around the 6th/7th of November?

Well colour me intrigued but that appears to be the day after your pal Blake planted a sapling seed he had gotten from Dr. Basire for his Botany major... Now I'm not sure how much you know about Botany or Dendrology and to be fair I don't know much either but according to Blake's blog in just over a week this sapling seed has grown into a tree that's apparently his height with a three-inch thick trunk... Now Dave; that's almost impossible to happen as far as I know. - He said he took photos of this sapling but never posted the pics did he upload 'em to your PC at all?

Also did you know about his flyer to give away the seeds and the vandalized version of it he found in an email a little while later? This is it here: http://dendrologymatters.blogspot.com/2010/11/odd-email.html Think you can work any of that out? A friend of mine and myself have been trying to help Blake with it, to no avail.

Like I said... I don't think the house is haunted though... Not in the general sense anyway.

-Leyton.

Got another reply from David.

Quote:
Well I'm totally clueless about all things plant related, but Blake said he thought it was some weird hybrid tree thing? I don't really know, I just let him use my backyard, heh. I think he might have taken a picture, but he didn't send it to me or anything. He showed me that weird flyer thing too, as far as we can tell the letters up top are NCMKIOATIS but other than that we're at a loss. Weird shit though, huh? I'm having a few slight issues with getting the next video to upload, but hopefully I can get it working soon, so keep an eye out.

In the general sense?

-David


So there's our nudge no? NCMKIOATIS are our letters.

I'm STILL assuming the COM make .com -- Running with that, anagrams of NKIATIS people?

If not, the whole thing perhaps? I'm on it atm.

Jumping on board

Hi all,

Am just catching up on this one - will look closer at the pics and try the code if it's still not cracked. Haven't watched the videos yet. Have read the blog and will be requesting a seed packet! Smile

Will update after I get up to speed.

I just emailed David again.

Quote:
Hey David,

Yeah the few of us who were trying to work it out are stuck too... A weird hybrid tree thing? lol... Good way to put it I guess... So, did any of the weird stuff happen before Blake planted the seed or did it all happen at once? Because what I mean by the 'general sense' is I don't think this is a spirit, poltergeist etc etc haunting your house... I honestly believe it is to do with the sapling that Blake planted in your back yard.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for your video most definitely...

-L.D.S


And no emato pretty much nothing has been solved as of yet; we definitely need more people to join in!! Kinda sad to see Dark Project kinda disappeared too lol.

Just checking in on this one, but I still probably won't get too involved in it. Noticed an image falsh in the new vid at about 0:33, I might upload a pic. It has numbers.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Some are missing, but if you take a number-letter substitution you get VIG_NER_. Logically, it whould be VIGINERE. Got any codes you could use a viginere cipher on?

The numbers at 0:33/0:34 look to be 22, 9, 7, 14, 5, 15 - The last circle in that image looks blank (just white) unless I just can't see the number?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
But as Random said it substitutes as the word VIG_NER_ in words...

I tried using a viginere cipher and using PATRICK as the keyword and our letters (NCMKIOATIS) on the flyer but got nothing but jibberish.

I also tried the other letters (FIURILHNVU) from the bottom of the flyer as a key as well as the word Dendrology but nothing came of it.


I'm even more stuck than before Sad

ETA: btw I forgot to include Dave's email where he tells me about the video lol.

Quote:
The tree is making my door close? C'mon man. How would it do that? And the video is up now!

-David


I've replied.

Quote:
David,

No... That's not what I meant sorry, not the tree itself per se, but perhaps a spirit or something has manifested from the planting of the sapling? Yeah I know, stupid... But considering none of this happened until Blake's planting, what other scenario do you assume?

I watched your latest video, creepy to say the least... Some of it was slightly distorted, did I see you look out the window and the tree or was I imagining that? Also did I see someone/thing right as you switched your iPhone on?

Let me ask you something... How good are you at using the PC? I mean making videos you're clearly an expert on but have you ever heard of a Viginere cipher?

Get back to me when you can bud,

-L.D.S.


But honestly? I think we're all sucking at this LOL! We need some more brains on it!!

ETA 2.0: DAMNIT! I'M the one sucking at this... I just figured I'd email Blake back about something and I noticed something unusual.

In a previous email reply he sent me - The Email was completely different in reply mode. Some of the letters had been changed and bolded! And it spelt out:

Quote:
Patrick yetspeaks


Now, I'm not sure what it means. Could mean Patrick is yet to speak up. Patrick is 'the entity' - Could also be part of the cipher?

My latest email to Blake:

Quote:
Blake,

I've been in contact with David... I'm not sure what his mindset on the whole thing is, because he doesn't seem to believe the house is haunted, at least that's the notion I got from the first video after you said it had to be ghosts. -- His new video is up though and man it's crazy! Did he tell you about that night?

Something crossed my mind earlier which is the real reason I'm emailing. When you said my email didn't come through quite right one of the responses I got when I believe you were trying to contact me said "I told it not to..." -- What did you mean?

-L.D.S


ETA: 3.0: By the way I'm pretty sure it was never mentioned here but David has twitter.

http://twitter.com/outstretchedfoe

And... Guess who's following David:

also, he talks about temperature differental and how around his house its hotter than other places...

:edit: will go through the vid like I have other 2. I can tell you right now @ :34 sec right after the color starts spectuming (i know not a word lol) that the planets show up as a splice in; they have numbers on them as well.

Yeah check it out though; 2-3 posts above lol. The numbers "Substitute-Cipher" to the word "Viginere" so it seems. IE: Viginere cipher.

3rd vid by david:

November 17th:
At :10 to :17 David is saying hi and explaining that Balke isnt on cam because he is studying "his wierd tree" in David's backyard.
At :24 he tells everyone to check out dendrologymatters blog
At :32 the spectrum color change begins. It cycles red, green, blue, red
At :34 when it recycles red a splice in of the planets is shown. Each one is in order. The numbers are: 22 9 7 () 14 5 15 () (). Beneath this is a predator silouette, I promise. would know it anywhere.
At :35 talks about hearing something weird last night
At :36 to :51 he's talking about posting prev vlogs, so posting this one as well. mentions being geekish so first thing he does is reach for his iphone when he wakes up.
At :51 to :54 he asks us to take a look and admits he is creeped out
At :58 vid starts you see his room.
At :59 to 1:09 he is getting out of bed and going toward his computer.
At 1:10 you see a light on the lower left side. rest of screen is dark.
At 1:11 to 1:20 loud interference begins. you see light move around in a looking manner.
At 1:20 you clearly see the topside of David's monitor. Loud interference ends.
At 1:23 we can see him repositioning his camera to move it off his monitor.
At 1:30 he peeks out his windows
At 1:40 th 1:43 things get a little distorted. loud interference during this time.
At 1:43 we get a clear look at David's desktop and there is a video link in the middle of his screen.
At 1:44 he is visibly shaking as he moves to his computer.
At 1:48 he shuts off his monitor and hastily get back in bed.
At 1:50 He says Crazy. Then I believe he turns phone off.
At 1:52 screen goes black
At 1:56 there is an audible I cannot make out
At 1:58 there is another audible.
At 1:59 there is one more audible, but again, can't make it out
At 2:00 we get another look at footage from window. you can see a figure moving very rapidly.
At 2:06 it ends

Ok so from 1:10 to 1:20 I believe we are seeing from someone else's perspective, not David's. Again at 1:40 to 1:43.
Also at 1:56 and 1:58 there are audibles. I belive someone is "saying" david. Maybe using his keyboard to use the melodic pitch to synth a voice-like quality? Also the numbers on the planets and lack there of.

Ok, off for a bit, wish i could look at it a bit better, maybe when I get back this afternoon
