 		I wonder if Pickman is dyslexic, or if the mirror image text is suppose to give us a hint that he has another "personality" shifting.

 		He emailed be back from my pics this morning... didn't seem pshycotic then. I sent some shots of sky, rooftops, etc.

Chelsea,

Someone told me the article's missing letters spelled out a message about men in rings, I haven't checked it myself yet; too much of a headache, but I guess I believe it. Not too much of a stretch to think whoever's leaving me notes has decided to make a headgame out of it.

On a cheerier note I am in utter envy of your cell camera. WAY better than mine. And those are some great shots. I love the framing of the sunset, and that forest too. Much obliged.

Tom


Maybe the headache got worse?

 		Ooo, I should send some pics too. His email to me this morning was both lucid and very nice... he didn't seem crazy at all then. Now... his twits are concerning...

 		Fresh from Pickman's twitter:
Quote:
Just woke up. Some assclown hacked my site and twitter. Fixed now, details after coffee.

He's deleted the "hacked" messages.

I don't think this is an alternate personality. I think Pickman was possessed by some being. After all, he did mention a couple quick sightings of shadowy figures outside. Perhaps details after his coffee will help.

 		And here is the feeling that it happened too soon. Anyway, besides the funny glowing blood on the blog and the parrot twitter, anything else was "hacked"?

 		I checked through all the pages and journal entries and nothing different jumped out at me aside from one other thing... when the site first appeared (pre-hacking) I could have swore I looked at the source code for the main page and saw nothing. Then during the "hacking" I looked again and saw a message: "looking for something?" but I couldn't be sure if it had been there previously and I failed to notice. But now, post-hacking, it's gone again.

 		from wikipedia:


Quote:
Schizophrenia (pronounced /ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfriːniə/) is a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of thought processes and of emotional responsiveness.[1] It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction. The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with a global lifetime prevalence of about 0.3–0.7%.[2] Diagnosis is based on observed behavior and the patient's reported experiences.



It does go on to say that trauma may also cause the on-set of the mental disease. He seems pretty broken up over Jessica. Maybe she (the break-up) was the catalyst..

 		I didn't get anywhere with this, but for the 4 binary sets, I read it as:

Haven't been able to make more out of it than that though.

New post from the twitter.

 		Blog in game?
Hi Guys

Looking at some of pickmans twitter followers i came across this blog:

http://withlovecraft.blogspot.com/

The blogger talks about taking an anti-seizure medication that increased the occurrence of some visions. They are taking Lamitrogine.

Sent Pickman a message to see if he is taking the same drug.

 		I've started corresponding with Pickman... I'm claiming to basically be writing a report about old buildings and the history behind them, which seems a decent cover for asking around about the Abandoned Windmill. It's even almost true, in the sense that everything here is something not entirely UNLIKE a report... sorta? Ok, i'm stretching. Here's the correspondences. We'll start with me:

Quote:
Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate them.

I do love to write a lot. One of the things that caught my eye about your blog was that right now I have been researching history and in particular older buildings in the US. So the Windmill seemed really neat in that respect. Some friends of mine found some curious info about it you may or may not be aware of already, like how there was this big fire there which destroyed a lot.

Have you heard anything about it's history? Probably not, since you just moved in! But if you do, will you email me about it? I would like to use the windmill, with your permission, as a subject in the report I am writing. If you find anything interesting there, let me know please?

Maybe I can help you with something in turn? Let me know if there's ever anything I can do.


And then him...

Quote:
I'm afriad aside from that clipping that was left on my door, I haven't found anything at all. Hell, as far as I know it could have sprung fully formed out of the ether. But if I find any more info, I will definitely share it.


And then after the Twitter-hack (or whatever it was) there were some more emails we exchanged, but they covered no new information and so I'm not posting them here. Still, it's good to know that he's starting to trust me.

Edit: Great find, Brezza!

She is tweeting with Pickman on her twitter page as well:

Looks to be in-game (?)

 		Slenderman
Both Pickman and withlovecraft are following several people on twitter called slenderman:

Slenderman seems to be connected to marble hornets:

 		Umm, I somehow get the feeling that this slenderman isn't in-game... based on the, uh, nature of some of his posts. Sounds more like someone who has played other games before, maybe?
