[TRAILHEAD] Voices in the Static

I, and several others, have recieved emails from echoSPLATvoicesinthestatic.com. The site's header is "stare into us", and it's a gif of static, with several things playing throughout the course of the mp3.

Tweez brought up a good point:

It might be something to do with EVP (electronic voice phenomena)

Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are sections of static noise on the radio or electronic recording which some listeners believe sound like voices speaking words, and which paranormal investigators interpret as the voices of ghosts or spirits

I had a quick listen to the mp3, "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones is time stretched towards the end. Do you know if there are any other games running with a similar theme at the moment?

It doesn't seem like the email matters, as it's just random chatter. I got my email saying go to sleep, with no subject, pancito got his with a subject and something else, and the same with McKayla.

Site link: voicesinthestatic.com.

EDIT: Pancito's:

subject: Footsteps
msg: From long ago

It seems the "other side" is "reaching through".
http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/rnr/823147452.html

I don't see any stereograms, obvious steganography or EXIF info in the image.

The contact email is:

Maybe it's meant for spectrographing? The comingtrough.mp3, I mean.

Anyways, I communicated with the Ghost. He just seems random.

One small item. In the properties of the mp3 the title is listed as 'crossover2.' I can't make anything of the sound itself and don't have the patience to try right now. I'm waiting for #3...

There is some pattern to the static, but nothing I've made out yet. Thought morse at first, but not quite.

I ran the mp3 file through a Spectrogram, but couldn't find anything. I used this program: http://www.visualizationsoftware.com/gram.html

Tried to speed up the mp3 file, but couldn't hear anything that sounded like a clue. There is something that sounds like a voice between 30-60 seconds, but I'm not sure if I'm hearing things or if it is just the vocal of the song that has been time stretched. Have no idea what the song is at the start. I'm out of ideas now.

How do I get the mp3 file? I'm new to things of that sort.

I used this Firefox extension:

There might be some better ones out there:

Thank you, needed that.

I must concur, looks like nothing in particular.

Well I had a poke about at it in audacity, put on a few filters to remove the static and I still cant make out anything particularly tangible. There is definitely something after the gregorian chanting but....

I was not one of the lucky ones to recieve an email but the 'stare into us' kind of makes me think of one of those pictures where you have to stare through it then slowly move back without breaking concentration and a picture will finally form.

Edit:/ Nvm I thought you guys said the file was a video file w/ snowy static and the noise.

Does sound like white noise to me... I'm kinda picking up music in the beginning and the middle as well as creepy crap. Kinda sounded like Pink Floyd @ the beginning [don't think it was though]

Very interesting.

Heard some people still having difficulty snagging the mp3. I attached it here so maybe it'll be easier to grab.
