Hahah, sorry. Pretty sure that won't help with your brain-state though Wink I just figured it looked like 1920s-era design, and Google Images popped it up under "1920s dam".

Guess I'll have to play along now, can't go wrong with a Dante theme...

Electronic Arts would beg to differ...

I'm not really sure where we're supposed to go from here. I tried devilsgate.com and devilsgate.org out of curiosity, but uh, neither of those are anything related. Also, don't do that.

Creepy 'tho if it's The Order of the Temple of the East (Ordo Templi Orienti) founded by Aleister Crowley SOURCE they have a recorded history with Devil's Gate Dam

Crowley "supposedly called Devil's Gate one of the seven portals to hell" SOURCE & there's actually a crater on the moon named after his Californian disciple, Jack Parsons...
it's on the dark side of course. Wink

Thank you for your kind offer of assistance. I fear I am doomed, but Carol may still be saved. Find her.

Lukas


Anyone want to run a Google search for Carol? Very Happy

Lovely.

Been emailing our friend Lukas, and after a few lectures from him about how "trust must be earned," etc etc (the text of the emails doesn't bear posting because that's really all he's said) he attached this image to the most recent one.

Notice, of course, both the file name and it's rather hefty size. Being a Mac user, someone else is going to have to check to see if he's included a hidden gem in there.
two.tif

 Filesize   1.9MB

Unfortunately, this file is no longer in our archives.

Correct link to the 'Gizmo huffing' video.

not a big fan of ghosts, so hopefully something genuinely weird happens soon.

Well that new photo is Suicide Bridge, also on the ghost hunter site: http://laghostpatrol.com/2011/01/pasadenas-suicide-bridge

Some other links:

http://twitter.com/lagp_carol
http://twitter.com/LAGP_Sam
http://twitter.com/tsitluccoeht (someone who seems to be stalking Carol, and 'theoccultist' backwards).

Damn! I found that site too, but didn't look closely enough because I figured it was OOG. Good thing other people are more attentive.

The .tif of Suicide Bridge is only one layer, So I don't think that there's anything underneath it. I still haven't inverted the colors, so I may be wrong
ETA: There's nothing when I invert it, either. Someone more skilled than me will have to dissect it.

I was wondering why the weird static effect over the two.tif file looked familiar; I've got a similar sort of swag from the seekthesix campaign. There are two separate bits both with what looks like a bunch of random static, one with a solid background, one transparent. When you lay the transparent one on top in the right spot, the static joins up in certain places spelling out words or giving a picture or whatever. So this likely is part two. We need the transparent key overlay?

I'm not entirely sure that LAGP is totally IG. Weird Al follows them on twitter, and they seem to be older than the start of this game. It might be a way to gain publicity or something, but they definitely were known before the game started.

Also, I got a reply from Lukas about whether Carol's blog was the right one, he replied with this
Quote:
Yes, that is her blog. I happened upon it while searching for a way to stop my own haunting. If enough voices speak out, perhaps she will listen. She should not revisit the gate or the estate.

Lukas

And I Tweeted Carol about whether she knew a Lukas, she replied with
Quote:
I don't know him but I had a comment on my blog from someone named Lukas a while back.

I'm starting to think that Lukas is our friendly neighborhood stalker Tsitluccoeht
