 		Reverse Audio Analysis
Ok so I've reviewed the videos (well... mostly audio) in reverse and here's what I've come up with:

1st Vid - CRESCENT001:

Nothing... Nada... Ziltch... Couldn't find anything that holds any significance

2nd Vid - CRESCENT002:

Right off the bat you hear a bell toll similar to those you hear in the 4th vid. Also towards the end you can hear water bubbling. Sounds like that of an office water jug.


3rd - CRESCENT002(1)

First thing i notice is that the audio was that of what sounds like a panicked horse. From 00:09 to 00:11 though you hear what sounds like reversed audio. Can't determine the origin of the sound though. I'll probably post a clip to see what everyone thinks.

4th Vid - CRESCENT002(2)

Obviously this video was reversed seeing as how you immediately can distinguish bells and they sync up perfectly with the word transitions.

Don't know about the location of the funerals but the memorial is at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church: http://archdiocese-no.org/olphlachurch/

But yah the recurrence of the number 8 makes me think it might refer to the 8 victims who died on the ground. I'm guessing this picture, from the first video I think, was of the memorial for them since it is a group of 8. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=15544

 		A couple days ago I looked up the phone number for 1701 Taylor St but I haven't called it because I didn't wanna be a wierdo if the person wasn't involved. Has anyone here called it? I won't post the number here because I'm not sure if that sort of thing is ok but it only takes like 12 seconds to look up. If no one else has called I may give it a go but I thought I'd check first.

I know we haven't been given any clue that we're supposed to find a number and call it, but if this is in fact the location of some sort of meeting then the number may lead to more information.

 		Hmm... good point, Bottle. Not too sure if we should call without first telling Crescent we're calling. If you're up to it, I'll comment or msg the YT account and ask if telephone is an acceptable form of communication, or if it's something we should be pursuing.

Assuming we ARE supposed to call, an alternative of using the phone (since I'm sure we'll want records of the call) is if we use Skype. Now, every new Skype account has 3 free landline phonecall credits (meaning an actual number, not a computer)... so if you guys would like to all get into a group convo on Skype and call together (if you got a mic, that is), that might work too. Also I'm pretty sure Skype comes with a call recording feature.. (It's also possible to be present in a phonecall and hear what's going on without a mic, so dont worry Very Happy) So yeah, just an idea in case we're supposed to call this number.

 		Yeah asking first sounds great twelve. I'd hate to bother someone that wasn't in-game with creepy calls.

 		Or, someone could call and pretend to be a telemarketer. I'm pretty good at that.

 		Haha good point :3 That could work too... I mean, maybe the home belongs to the Trahens (or some such other name on the memorial list..) and we can call up like, "Hello, is this the Trahen residence? I'm with "blahblahblah fake company"..." etcetera. =P At least then we'd know who lives there, and if they themselves are ingame. Who's willing to do it? I'm up for it if nobody else wants to.

 		Actually, I do not believe the Trahan's are in-game.

I asked Crescent on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h68SCAK144c)

BrettLowers:
Depends, will you get us in touch with Melissa Trahan?

00CRESCENT00:
No. The locations will be of importance. The only people that matter are you and I, Anonymous. Only you and I.

 		Ok I called and an old lady answered...pretty much what I expected but it was worth a shot. My main fear in calling was that, since this started on 4chan, some of the channers may have also gotten the number and been harassing the person.

edit: So I guess this means we can rule out 1701 Taylor as a location?

Hm.. alright, safe to say they (the people) definitely are /not/ IG - any of the victim families, (That makes things easier Very Happy) I don't think we should rule out 1701 Taylor St. entirely, since CaptKing brings up a good point, especially that "the locations will be of importance"... So suffice to say, it's the people that don't matter, not the house itself.. Or, on the other hand, it's possible that we do need to just play the waiting game.

 		Okay, new video.
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=A64-yNPFA24

I'm running around a bit today, so I'll make this quick - info says "where" - what we've been trying to find out for a while. Vide - a shot of the alphabet with the numbers 1-4 interspersed, and a short clip of four pillars with a set of bells on the top. Bells. Sound familiar? It gets more fun.

Quote:
ABCDEFG4IJK2MN13QRSTUVWXYZ

Each number marks the location of a missing letter, and the correspondence is: H-4, L-2, O-1, P-3

At first this kinda confused me.. but then I tried rearranging them - and you get OLPH. Big help that was... until I googled it. Guess what that stands for? "Our Lady of Perpetual Help".

7:59 AM at Our Lady of Perpetual Help... September 25th. There's one in Kenner. Another interesting note (sorry if I or someone else said this already), usually at a memorial service for multiple people, churchbells will ring once for each person who died. 8 victims, 8 bell rings in 002(2)... Probably not a coincidence. We should contact that person (degravedi, I believe) who lives in Kenner and see if they can go.

Perhaps I missed it, but why do we think it is 8 AM and not 8 PM?
Oh it is from the second video Embarassed

 		Hey guys, an Anon from /x/ here. I've been keeping up with this whole thing and decided to give some input.

I noticed on Crescent's account today he subscribed to a YT account of a girl named megalyn2525. According to the account page it's being kept up as a memorial because the girl died. Anyone notice this or looked into it?

Also, is anyone from LA going to go meet this guy on Thursday? I'd like to know where this is going. Smile

 		Not 100% sure as to whether she's IG or not - she died nearly a year ago.. More info here if anyone's interested:

http://blog.nola.com/times-picayune/2007/11/st_charles_fatal_claims_1_life.html

She was from Louisiana (New Orleans if I read correctly), and the interesting thing that makes me think she may possibly be IG is this excerpt:
Quote:
The Celica, driven by Michael Rigamer, of Kenner, was traveling eastbound on I-10 near milepost 219 at a high rate of speed... etc.

Kenner again. However, fact remains that we were told no other people were related, but locations important... so we may not be looking for her, but rather a place related to her death? She died in Kenner Hospital as well. Just a thought.

Stabile also seems to have a personal photography site, http://www.meghanstabile.com/, but I don't think it's related. I'm going to try and find out if perhaps whatever service this girl had was held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. (So far nothing.)

Another interesting note... Found this in my YT inbox thismorning before my bus came for school:

Quote:
You are getting close. So close.


From 00CRESCENT00. Has anyone been able to contact the guy in Kenner? I mean, I'll do it now if nobody else has. =P
