I think we are looking for his AIM address. That my two cents.

Indeed, the '666-scratched-surface' link under "Favourite number of all" (before it changed) paired with this clue. Remove the 666 (and it wasn't '666-scratch-the-surface' when I last looked) and you get an AIM screen name:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ScratchedSurface
I chatted with him briefly while I was at work. He was not particularly enjoying Halloween, from what I gathered. He also mentioned a second-favorite number, i think, but I didn't log the chat and now I don't remember exactly how that was phrased.

 		I just sent him a mail saying that I hope his daughter is found soon. Added the line "You will be in my prayers"; thinking maybe that will elicit a response based on the supernatural theme of the blog. I'll let you know if something comes up.

and the third is. . .

 		AIM with Jack
I had the same problem chatting with Sracthedsurface, apparently he got a lot of IM's last night, he was pretty nice about the whole thing. Didn't think to save my conversation with him.
This morning Jack IM'd me.



Quote:
scratchsurface: Hello?!!
scratchsurface: Please, i need someone to talk to!
scratchsurface: This is Jack Holl, owner of that Hallow's End blog.
Teri1068: Hello Jack
Teri1068: how can I help?

Teri1068: Mr Rectorm wrote in his blog that your daughter is missing. I throught it was your niece.
Teri1068: He also contacted me via email and wanted to know what we have been talking about.
I sent him an email back and told him it was none of his business
scratchsurface signed off at 6:50 AM


At least we now have his correct AIM name

Teri1068: I also said that Mr Rectorm contacted me via email to ask what we had been talking about
Teri1068: I emailed him back and told him it was none of his business

scratchsurface: and that was a good idea Teri(may i call you Teri?)
Teri1068: yes, you may
Teri1068: have you heard any word on your daughter?
scratchsurface: No... I talked to one of her friends, and she told me that "someone had already came to bug her, so bug*** off."
Teri1068: did she say who it was?
Teri1068: what about her mother?
Teri1068: Anne's mother?
scratchsurface: I try to talk to her, but she gave me the bird.
Teri1068: oh, I am so sorry
Teri1068: what can I do to help?
scratchsurface: the friend
scratchsurface: i mean
scratchsurface: I'm not sure about her mother.
Teri1068: do you get along with her mother?
scratchsurface: Don't forget, for about 12 years, i thought her mother was my aunt.
Teri1068: why did you think she was your niece all this time?
scratchsurface: I'm a bit confused there also..
Teri1068: so Anne' mother is your aunt?
scratchsurface: No..if Rector is right, Anne's mother is my wife.
Teri1068: right
scratchsurface: It's fairly confusing.
Teri1068: yes
scratchsurface: I have a bit of recollection..
Teri1068: where is your wife?
scratchsurface: but it's like... you know when you twist the lense of a camera?
scratchsurface: She died.
Teri1068: of, I am so sorry
Teri1068: when was this?
scratchsurface: around...12 years ago.
Teri1068: so she had Anne before you married her?
scratchsurface: no no no..
Teri1068: or did you even know she had a daughter
scratchsurface: i married her.
Teri1068: forgive me for being so nosey
scratchsurface: and within a year, Anne was born.
scratchsurface: when Anne was three, her mother died.
scratchsurface: and i thought Eliza was in the crash...
scratchsurface: Anne is Eliza.
scratchsurface: i was told that Eliza was dead, and Anne had came over from my aunt..
scratchsurface: things are clearing up a bit now, you know..
scratchsurface: i think i must have drunk something...
scratchsurface: If only i could remember who told me...
Teri1068: she died in a car crash?
Teri1068: your wife?
scratchsurface: yes
Teri1068: and they told you both your wife and daughter had died?
scratchsurface: Yes
Teri1068: are you sure your wife died?
scratchsurface: I'm.. not sure...
scratchsurface: I'm sorry, i need a bit of time to think.
Teri1068: thats ok
Teri1068: I am only trying to help
scratchsurface: It's okay.
scratchsurface: *sighes*
scratchsurface: Third night of halloween tonight..
Teri1068: yeah, I know how much you hate that
Teri1068: never heard of Halloween lasting 5 nights
Teri1068: do the children dress up every night and trick or treat?
scratchsurface: Yeah.
Teri1068: isn't that a bit greedy?
scratchsurface: They'll do anything for candy.
scratchsurface: Council doesn't object.
scratchsurface: I'm going to go have a think.
Teri1068: let me know if there is anything I can do
scratchsurface: I will
Teri1068: what do you want me to say if Dr Rector M. contacts me again
Teri1068: why is he so concerned about our conversations?
scratchsurface: I.. don't know.

 		Shocked Wow ^^ he's a leetle sketchey atm then. Still who could blame him; he's just found out his niece(who he raised as a daughter) is missing and that his daughter that he thought had died 13 years ago turns out to be his niece... who is missing... hey this is getting me confused Foily!

I guess you've seen by now but it appears that the multi-posting was a mistake as there's only one entry now.

Hoso-No-Kami is a Japanese god but I doubt that's what the reference was to as he was the god of smallpox Smile

Now what possible reason could there be to tell Jack that his daughter is dead only to give her back to him as his niece? Didn't he recognise her?

The only thing I can think of is that there was no car crash and his wife is actually his aunt and his daughter is his mother's niece Twisted Evil
