 		Just throwing this out there, but didn't finding a library in KY help us find Hazard? Then he references a King James Bible... any possibility what we're heading for is a clue left inside a KJ Bible in that library?

 		Hello all. I came here from /x/ a couple of days ago. I've been lurking till I found something I could contribute. I must admit most of the clues are well beyond my skills, but I did notice one odd thing that I don't recall reading of in the thread.
As methodical as Waitingtoplay is I doubt that anything he did is random. When he holds up the two signs at the end the double Ls on killed and will look like arrows to me.
If it this is nothing or if it has already been covered you have my apology.

My opinion is the vid is art student crap, but the kill of the gent sleeping has an authentic tinge. So nicely done if fake and good fucking times for armchair detectives if real.


It's not real.

If it had been, the video would have been pulled from YouTube at the request of authorities to prevent the public (us and the crazies) from interfering with a serial investigation. (I've had plenty of dealings with LEOs, I used to be an arms dealer who sold to LEOs & Military, made quite a few friends of officers and detectives.)

If you watch when the "hammering" first starts, it is not "hard" enough to kill or incapacitate, due to lack of strength behind the swing. If the "victim" had not been drugged and unrestrained, the first tap would have set off the "fight or flight" automatic defensive shielding of your head. People are just hardwired that way.

Had the victim been merely restrained, you would have seen more flailing and struggling and the head/body turn to the side and you would have seen arms attempt to ward off the next blows in defense even if restrained. Once again, hard-wiring.

Third, if the victim had been drugged and restrained, you have no motor reflex in your face that would cause your legs to twitch and jump like his did.

Lastly, even with a covering, the blood would have splattered onto the killer's clothing once it soaked through and would have shown as dark spots because facial injuries/trauma bleed like stuck pigs. (Speaking from experience on that one.)

My guess - prop hammer, decent acting. Something to distract what you are supposed to be really paying attention to, the audio tracks.

Speaking of the audio tracks, that is not a wolf howl, it is a tornado siren. I have sped the audio track up in Sony Sound Forge 9 to 2x speed, fiddled with the pitch while keeping the duration alone, and it is a tornado siren.
I hate the sounds of those, I live in Oklahoma so when we hear them, it usually means bad news.

Also, there is spoken words both frontwards and backwards in the audio, but you all already know that.

I am trying to find a plug in for vocal effects to isolate the voice (kind of a reverse karaoke), I used to have one, but the trial ran out.

ED: However, if you want to find the guy quick, a less scrupulous person would alert the local media (KY or wherever) to the YouTube video, who would then play part of it on TV, get the authorities involved, and then you follow where the subpoenas lead from the YouTube account, ISP, and finally home address. I guess that would ruin the game though.
Though you could take screen caps of W8TP in his mask, and post them around the suspected areas and see if anyone recognizes them.

On a separate thought, the video section of the exterior building shots, there are some interesting shadows. It shows a fancy post, with curling ironwork on both sides of the posts. Those cannot be common. Starts at 1:23. Also, there are words above that door. I am at work currently, and don't have access to my software to clean it up.

Well, if they're arrows, they're pointing to an E and an R. -shrugs-

As far as I can tell, the sign on the building says:

----land Inn

 		It either says Woodland Inn or Goodland Inn.

There's a subliminal frame at 1:03 ish in the video. Anyone able to cap it? Lasts maybe 3/24 of a second.

Google turns up a Goodland Inn in Goodland, KS.

There's a Woodland Inn in South Bend, Indiana, but I can't get a picture.

Kentucky and Indiana are neighbouring states, right?

It shows a person, covered in a blanket, moving their hand toward something. It is too dark to see without adjusting the contrast and brightness. I am downloading the movie again since I am at work.

 		Well since I feel butthurt that I completely missed the fact that building had a sign over the door (grats to Wild-B on that one) I decided that I would just screencap the entire video.

Below is a .rar of said screencaps. 2562 images taken from the video at 100ms intervals.

enjoy

That's what I thought the first time I actually looked at it. It wouldn't hurt to look those up as well.

The Goodland Inn in KS, is definitely not it. I mean that's a pretty long drive to Kentucky, right?
I just looked up Woodland Inn on Google maps, and it hardly looks like the building in the video.

I have a Westland Inn, 3510 N Wayne Road, Westland, MI. But Google Maps is showing NO 3510 ON N Wayne Rd. Any ideas?

Haha. Now you're treading into my territory!~
Alas. The Westland Inn doesn't resemble the building in the video at all.
There's also the city of Westland in Virginia; but I have yet to find an inn located there.

 		Remember, Bars and Taverns could also be considered "Inns"
Doesn't necessarily mean a place to stay overnight..
Just throwing that out there.

 		I'm not specifically looking at hotels, just for those names. No bars fitting them though.

It seems to be another shot of the person in the blanket at the beginning. It's way too much pixelizated though, so I can't make out anything..

This is the shot of person rocking form the beginning:


And this is the "subliminal" shot


It was all too dark, so I tried to enhance contrast and brightness as much as I could, but, yea.. the second shot is so dark, it's basically solid black on my monitor, so the enhanced shot is pretty damaged.

 		"I cleaned up all of the blood"
Hey guys. This is basically my first ARG (though i've followed one or two eons ago) and I think I have found something. Remember the numbers in the audio?

73 32 67 76 6 9 65 78 69 68 32 85 80 32 65 76 76 32 79 70 32 84 72 69 32 66 76 79 79 68

Upon inputting them into the following site http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ (dec/char), you'll end up with:

"I CL ANED UP ALL OF THE BLOOD"

I have no idea if this has been found before. If it has, I'm really sorry hahaha.
