[TRAILHEAD?]Have We Met Before? Strange voicemail lead to a youtube... Okay, so. I got a voicemail from a restricted number. On this voicemail, a girl (or at least a girl's voice) relayed this message: "Hi Esteed, have we met before? Maybe on Youtube. I keep having weird things sent to my gmail account. Do you know what that's about?"
This lead me to search for "weird things sent to gmail" and scored one hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK79TLj0VTc
This user has two other videos as well. All three of these videos were added recently. I sent the account a message saying this:

Have we met before? Perhaps, perhaps. Jury is still out on that one, but I got your message. Interesting videos.
So, would you like to "cut the small talk and get to something more interesting?" I'm more than willing to get to the nitty gritty. I have my suspicions about what I should be asking...but I suppose I'm not entirely sure, yet. Obviously you aren't going to tell me your secret...but perhaps a little hint?
I got a reply pretty quickly:

I reversed the audio on the first video if anyone wants to have a listen.

You know, I just got an email a few minutes ago myself from threeseven2008SPLAT gmail.com
Not the same as Esteed got, but here it is:

Okay, I've traded youtube messages and emails with her a bit, and so has someone else, and I've come up with a few possibilities.
In a youtube message to me, she referenced the old DailyMurder ARG. At least I think she did. One of the characters in that ARG was a little off-the-wall and loved red ice cream. We felt pretty sure she was a vampire and that the red ice cream was blood ice cream.
In a message to uberg33k, she referenced something I was told by Eris in an ARG with very heavy Discordian themes. I can't quite remember the name of it, however her being Eris seems in doubt because she does not seem to claim godhood.
So. To summarize.
I have no idea what is going on here.

Yep, I got a call while I was in class, so I got a strange voicemail asking if we had met, along with a long string of words. I know one was "trinstod" and another was "cloverfield." I'll search it when I'm back home.

My Lord. It's like that site was created from my nightmares... the only things I fear are heights and weird basic pixellated imagery I don't understand. This stems from childhood encounters with my Amstrad CPC 464. But... what the heck is that, honestly? *shudders*
This seems really interesting, even if I'm not invited to the party directly. The videos were a bit disturbing to me as well, even though they weren't scary necessarily. By the way, in one video the word ré::sidúe kept popping up. Mean anything to anyone? Or just randomness?

I just watched some of the videos, the last one to be added had a quote from a newspaper report about a man who got a $10,000 check from a random person (http://charleshamel.com/2008/02/20/giving-away-a-blank-check/), and had a Java debugging report open (but I couldn't read the website that well).

I'm trading emails with her now. Once I can make heads or tails of this, I'll post them.
EDIT: I know I said I wouldn't post them until I made heads or tails of this, but we have a code now.

Oh ho ho, two can play this game. Let's see how she likes my invisible binary.
EDIT: Oh, and I get what's going on now. Sort of. I'll explain in a minute.

Here's what this is all about: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21563&highlight=dailymurder
It was an ARG. A group of people solved mysterious murders. There's more to it than that, but way too much for me to explain in one summary. I suck at summaries. You can get everything you need from that thread.
