 		The pic is 5MB. That can't just be due to resolution and size. There's got to be something stegged.

I found it HERE but there's no reference to the artist.

*edit* I also found it HERE and there is some writing in the top left corner.

Nope, it's not sign language. I'm trying to desteg right now. Any suggestions on passwords for me to try? I'm trying all the names already but nothing yet.

ETA: Searching on the image gives 18 pages of results. Most of them are on desktop background sites but it does look like this could be an album cover from a band called Dragonwyck. Haven't found the artist yet.
http://www.myspace.com/dragonwyckrocks

Edit again: Nevermind, it's also another band's album cover. Probably doesn't mean anything.

Edit again again: Think I found a title for the image - Garden of Sleeping Silence by a person named Darkwizard. The original has a caption that says "Sometimes is necessary to listen the silence, It may tell more..."

 		I did not see the RU until I zoomed in on something else just to the upper left of the RU. Can anyone figure out what it is? Looks like hand cuffs around a pipe to me.

It seemed like it was fear. And it was just on again off again. No real pattern. I gotta tell you though, I hate the silence even more. When I was a kid, my dad wanted me to get a job. So I went and started to haul stuff for a friend of mine's dad. He owned these two places, a bar and a general store. And every night, after stocking the store, I got to sit and talk to the guys at the bar. And then one night, this guy walks in smiling, and sit down at the corner table. He ordered a beer, and then just sat there. He sat and stared at the wall. Then, this regular named Freddie comes in, and this dude sits up straight as a rod. He looks dead at Freddie, downs his beer, and then heads out. Thats what this house is like. It seems like its waiting for something, like a signal. And when something happens, its just going to get going. I don't know, its just creepy.

Hi,

I've heard from some friends that you're trapped in an unknown location. I also heard that you've been hearing a woman scream; are these screams screams of pain, or just fear? Any other information you can give would help tremendously.

-Dustin


Hmm... quite a story just to say "the house is creepy." Any thoughts?

I don't think so. I hear things around school, about ghosts and stuff, but I never really had any interest.

As for what that random guy had to do with Freddie, we never got the chance to find out. He was dead a week later, shot to death by the police while fleeing arrest.

So, you think someone is behind this, but that there might also be something supernatural going on inside the house?

What do you think was going on with Freddie and that random guy?

Who stopped...?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com said (11/04/2009 at 07:24):
That woman in the other room. She stopped screaming. God, I can hear myself think now. Of course I can also hear the rats moving around. Ugh, I'll tell you. Its spooky
[Phyrehawk] said (Yesterday at 21:3Cool:
One of these times I might even catch you when you're online... Try not to stay inside your head though - it's probably the last place you wanna be. How are you holding up - now she's stopped screaming have you been able to shout her or anything?

diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:04):
*Hey, I'm taking a break. Chairlegs were not excatly made for this kind of renovation.
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:0Cool:
*Sweet lord I need some gloves.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:19):
*What are you renovating...?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:19):
*That freakin' wall.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:20):
*The wall? Wait - did I miss something here?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:21):
*Greystone told me to take a chairleg to the wall. To try to get to another room.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:22):
*Ahh, good plan. =] Any joy with that? I'm guessing chair legs aren't the most versitile of tools but...
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:24):
*No. That and the noise attracted the rats out of their little pile. They keeping getting in the way, creepy little bastards
[Phyrehawk] says (00:25):
*Hrm. Keep one of those chairlegs free ... If the person who DID lock you up is around - bashing down a wall is likely to attract attention...
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:25):
*No kidding.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:27):
*How are you holding up in terms of food and such?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:29):
*I have one more bottle of water left. As far as food goes, well if it takes much longer Im going after those rats as vengence.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:33):
*Heh, furry little buggers get their cum-uppance?

Hrm - I'm not sure how far anyone else has got with this but... Am I right in thinking you have a zip file "EEE" on the desktop of the computer you're on?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:33):
*Yes. EEE
*Can't open it for anything tho
[Phyrehawk] says (00:33):
*How come? Passworded?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:33):
*Yep.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:34):
*Hrm...
*Does it let you send the file? Via email or anything?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:35):
*I tried that the first time someone asked about it. It started to load, then asked for the password.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:36):
*Hrm. That's odd. Didn't think you'd need a password to send the thing.
If you right click it - and hit properties - does it bring up the properties window?
[Phyrehawk] says (00:39):
*(be right back)
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:41):
*No. The little hourglass starts spinning, then it just stops
[Phyrehawk] says (00:49):
*Looks like we've gotta open it on the computer you're at then... Damn.
*Does the keyboard you have have a windows key on it?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:49):
*Yes
*It does
[Phyrehawk] says (00:49):
*Trying holding the windows key, and they press the "r" key
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:50):
*K
[Phyrehawk] says (00:50):
*It should bring up a dialog box that says run.
*Type "cmd" then hit enter.
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:50):
*Yes.
*Alright hold on a second
[Phyrehawk] says (00:50):
*Okay.
[Phyrehawk] says (00:51):
*After that, in the black window that should appear, type:

ipconfig /all

That should give us the network details of the computer you're on... including the ip address... With that - we might be able to find out where you are at least.
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:52):
*Alright. Uno momento
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (00:55):
*Shit
[Phyrehawk] said (00:59):
*??
*What's wrong?
[Phyrehawk] said (01:02):
*Johnathan?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:03):
*Christ
[Phyrehawk] said (01:03):
*What's wrong?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:05):
*The whole thing just screamed at me, then went dead. It wouldn't start up for a second
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:06):
*Damn it
[Phyrehawk] said (01:06):
*Screamed at you?!
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:06):
*Yeah, like feedback.
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:07):
*Somethings wrong though.
[Phyrehawk] said (01:07):
*How do you mena?
*mena*
*Mean*
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:0Cool:
*There you go. I don't know. It's just a bad feeling.
*Plus the rats are gone
[Phyrehawk] said (01:0Cool:
*... I guess if the scream startled them they'd just run away...
[Phyrehawk] said (01:09):
*Get the chair leg to hand... just in case.
*I don't suppose anything was actually displayed when you typed ipconfig was it?
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:09):
*I saw 169 then that was it
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:10):
*Does that help?
[Phyrehawk] said (01:10):
*On it's own... not really no. =/
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:11):
*Sorry. I'm really not going to risk the computer again. If I can get to this other person, maybe then.
[Phyrehawk] said (01:11):
*Yea, don't worry wasn't going to ask you to do it again... Especially if it almost conked the thing out.
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:12):
*No kidding
diningroombasementSPLATyahoo.com says (01:15):
*Im gonna get back to work
[Phyrehawk] said (01:15):
*Guess all you can do for the time being with the computer then is wait until we figure out the password on this zip file.
*Okay... Be safe dude.


Oops.... >.> So much for that idea.
