long term lurker here... thought i'd throw in my two cents although i maybe way off--first time i made a comment, way back, i was punched in the head with a trout...so go easy on me Smile

first off, i completely agree that the girl in the ripped photo and the one in "is she still alive" is one and the same...the nose, the hairline, the eyebrow arch, figure, etc...

and i also agree that it says SOL not SOU--and I'm going to make a case that is stands for the Statue of Liberty--although i may be way off base here (isshealive has a vid of the sol filmed at either dawn (dead at dawn??) or sunset): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz4ZgqS2-lQ

other comments

"i can see past skin"...could also be read "I can see past SK in..."--the in seems a lot lower and why have the K capitalized? messy handwriting..yes...but...?

also Mark's last name is really odd--Terginian???

maybe there's something to it

the bottles lined up in "waked up trapped" seems rather OCD

and lastly:

what the hell does the ripped girl have her hands resting on in the photo...candle holders?? odd??

p.s. I'm still having problems watching any of the vids not on youtube Sad


Welcome all. Alot of interesting points. Since we're on the subject, I think I'll add to it and try and resolve others.

The phrases written on the DVD's strike me as quotes taken out of context. Possibly the "breaks bones" is as well.

The lined up bottles are only the beginning of the oddity. It sounds like he is playing with a pile of plastic forks and knives. And there is an open cooler in the room. My theory is he trapped Ala "Saw" and must figure a way out.

And last, what she's resting her hands on. This one isn't so much fun. They're placeholders for creating Que lines. Basically the poles put out at places like banks so that they can clip rope between them and create a windy path for a line of people to follow.

EDIT: After rewatching the videos, I'm pretty sure she calls the cameraman "Mr. Brody". Also there are two videos posted of the girl putting on lipgloss that, at first I thought were identical. The footage it the same but, the "interference" is different between the two. Also, it's probably going to mean nothing but, I can hear a game of pool being played in the background. Very Happy

New Video

Doug, just read the previous posts to find out what's been going on! Smile


Just got this email on youtube from IsSheStillAlive.

It's got this video in it:

Labled "Isshetryingtoreachyou

Anyone recognize the code in the message? It looks incomplete to me...

I'm With you, DeadbyDawn. I think he's trapped in a room. She does mention putting people in a room, hosing them down, and making them 'eat balls'. What a witch. I think she's a toad.

Oops, I just posted about the "balls" video in the other thread, I forgot to check this one first... maybe I can get away with just a half-trout since the threads aren't merged yet..... 0.5*( Trout )

And here's Will's prize for being right: Brownie

I believe this is one of the features they lost when they had those problems with the boards a while back.

Ok, here:

Oh dear... it seems the donut vid (which I never saw Sad) has been removed by the user. There's a new one that seems to be set in the same place, but it's very very dark (as in bady lit Razz).

added: November 11
title: isshetryingtoreachyou (although when it's grouped with the other vids on isshestillalive's main page, it reads "isshetryingtore achyou")
location: Tim Horton's (EDIT: or not... Chinese restaurant maybe?)
text: is she still alive
of note: BALLS! , very dark

I assume the donut vid wasn't dark, partly because it still shows up in Youtube search results, with a small screencap that looks normally lit.

There's also a viewfinder-type thing (white double rectangle, and a white pinprick/dot in the middle of the screen), and a flashing red "REC" which I don't think has been in the other vids.

EDIT/ADD: We don't have Tim Horton's here, so I was guessing the balls and donut vids were set in the same place based on what little I could see, oh well. I don't suppose anybody happened to save the donut video or took any screencaps, huh? Sad It strikes me as really odd that it would be removed, and makes me wonder if we're getting spoiled by having all the ISSA (isshestillalive) vids so convenient to access. I mean, should we be concerned that it could happen again, or was this a fluke?

From other thread:
Quote:
Sounds like this is a natural recording? Or maybe used to an effect?
Er... what do you mean?

If the threads can't be merged, should we just direct people from that thread to this one?

my recollection of the donut vid is

she is eating a boston cream donut--and she really really loves it
there are two men she is talking to, the one who is holding the camera, and then a short flash at another I would say "burly" hispanic? looking guy--you can almost see him in the balls vid

she doesnt seem to say anything of note--but there is a lot of mumbling from the male (cameraman?) speaker that we seem to miss--i think he says someones name--but cant be certain

perhaps the donut vid was just an allussion to boston (boston cream?) --boston does appear to be one of the places on the pushpin on the map in "alas"

i think it is odd it was taken down right after we talked about separating the audio--perhaps the pm didn't want us wasting our time??

it is interesting to have the viewfinder now--that would seem to me, correct me if i'm wrong, added as an effect afterward or the camera was connected to a tv and the tv screen was recorded

i mention this because in most of the videos it appears to be set on widescreen--which if it was directly uploaded from a camera it would not be

so what i think we are seeing here is not the direct footage, but someone watching the footage (creepy)

in a recent comment on the ig forum Trailguide talks about the burden not being Mark's, not being the girls--so Trailguide is someone else

so cast of characters so far:

Mark (and his parents mentioned)
The Girl
The obsessy camera dude
Burly guy
Trailguide who is not mark and not the girl
Isshestillalive---??? apparently not Trailguide--perhaps Bandages?

Truth

We are relieved.

Be careful, a life is in your hands. Games are for children, but many of you are not children.

Telling the truth sometimes seems like Malice. This time, it is not. Do not kill the messenger.

I know your boundaries, and I apologize if I have crossed them.

Yours,
The Trailmaster

Whoever you are, you have led us no where. Guys, if anyone is around I think we should discuss this on the IG forums.

48 hours..I should've known it!
I followed it for all of two hours gosh.
Anyway, anything good on that site from before?
