Right now, I'm in Ann Arbor Michigan. I was flown here to the ICU from Iowa after my doctor was not able to find some way to help me. I was told by him I definitely have a virus. One that he hasn't seen.

New video and blog post up guys. Jeff says he is feeling better but some really odd things happen towards the end of the video. It sounds like there is another audio file that we need to clear up.

That is some creepy sounding stuff. I'll reverse it and see if I can find anything but it might be too dirty for me to get anything. Someone else with some nice audio may need to clean it up, but I'll try my bestest!

I second that, faeryqueen. Gives me the creeps. Unfortunately, my lack of any decent audio equipment prevents me from doing anything useful. And jenni42ld, I'm sure that if you got into contact with Jeff or Steve you could be a HUGE help if Des Moines is anywhere near Cedar Rapids. Very Happy

Alright...I am wigging out right now. My room-mate and I are trying to figure out this audio file on the new video. While trying to extract the audio we found an audio file hidden in the video source code. It does not say much more then we already know but it is still fun to find.

Also we are working hard on cracking the real audio file. Its hard though because it is reversed and re-reversed and it also sounds like more then one person is talking. I'm not sure but I will get back to you with more later.

EDIT!!

This just left by an anonymous poster on Jeff's Blog

(91.79553508758545, 42.07634246862368)

I'm glad you're ok....for now


Thats what I got after I deciphered it anyway. The coordinates are backwards, so after you switch them and look up the coordinates, the first set is the coordinates to the Power Plant. The second is in China, but I made the longitude negative like the first one and it gave me the coordinates to "Palo Marsh". I think we have found what Marsh Jeff needs to make a trip to. Laughing

Editx2 - I am attaching the audio files that I have messed with. The first is the original just in case anyone wants to mess with it from the beginning.

The second is the last few seconds of the video that I was messing with.
I am spoiling what I think it says so I do not influence anyone's thoughts. Maybe someone can get a better listen, becuase I am exhausted now...

Yeah, that one is tough. I was listening to it backwards a whole bunch of times getting nothing. I finally just listened to it again forwards and actually started hearing things. Just like nexyday, the only things I could figure out were at the beginning and the end. It's just too muddled in the middle. The only difference in what I hear is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"believe it or not, they are". Instead of "believe it or not I want to help you"


Not really that big of a difference, I just didn't hear enough syllables for that many words. I could easily be wrong though.

Great solve on the coordinates! That was awesome! It seems we are getting closer and closer to where Jeff clearly has to go.

Email received from Steve

Quote:
Jeff will be coming over to my house tonight to take the pill. I will be with him incase anything crazy happens. I'm sure he will bring is screwed-up camera to tape the event. We will post anything interesting as soon as possible.

Thank you for the help. I have received several e-mails from others wanting to help Jeff. If you are in contact with the others, please thank them as well.

When my room-mate saved the file he must have accidentally clipped off a little bit on the end because when he sent it to me I listened to it to make sure it worked and I could not hear that last part either, I just figured it was because I was getting tired. Now that you said something though, I can tell that there are a few syllables missing. But I know its there because I had 2 other people in the room with me and we all heard it and agreed thats what he was saying at the end. I will check later to see if there is any that we accidentally cut.

Also I think we need to email Jeff or Steve and let them know that someone has caught on to his cypher.

Thanks! It was my first big find in an ARG so it was all very exciting.

When you guys are talking about the audio, are you refering to the one in the FIRST video he posted, under "I'm OK," with the audio being at that really strange part with the face? Or are you talking about the new video, under "Voicemail"?

Lol, this will give me nightmares tonight.

(Augh, wish I could work on the audio files! I have a bunch of time tomorrow, though)

Do we have a chat room?

Do we have a chat room? Would anyone like to chat? Just wondering.

I just sent TidusIA an email with the following:
Quote:

Hello,

I am a friend of Sylvia, faeryqueenAE, Doug and the others. I have read your blog and your story is very strange. I am not sure what to think of the videos. I am glad you are feeling better, though to take an unknown pill...how scary! I was wondering if you thought that these strange things could affect other people in Iowa, if this is some experiment gone wrong or gotten loose - I am in Iowa as well.
I will keep going over the videos and doing research (I am very good at finding things) - let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Stay well - we're all thinking of you!

Jenni


Hope no one minds me saying I am a friend - I didn't want to say "I'm from Unfiction" or anything like that. I sent this encrypted with the advanced cypher 1.1 thing.

jenni42ld, as soon as you join our happy little family you are our friend. No worries love.

feriwiccan, we were talking about the crazy audio during the video in "I'm Ok". There's someone talking during that. Honestly, I didn't even know about the "Voicemail" blog until just now.
