Mentioned before, that spot. I still think its just the camera reacting so the sun's brightness.


I think you're right.

I've been looking at this second video for a while now, and think I've found something.

There is a latern shown in the second half of the video, sitting opposite the chairs. I think this is the small object we can see moving at the end of video #1, possibly swaying in the wind?



The other thing is the audio distortion in the sound that begins with the first viewing of the orange shed. I have messaged Robert saying he should have a look in there (and around the outside) for clues.

Other than that I can't think of anything else to see in this video.

 		Well done for spotting that latern, thats likely what we see at the end of the first video. I'm still curious as to the significance of the camera at the end of video 1 just peering out into the pitch dark and then slowly panning across.

I think your right. In the first vid when it focuses on the darkness it jumps at one point and it kinda zooms in at one point also. Kinda like its trying to show us something at that time.


Back to the Batt cave for more video research.

 		Contact! Robert has replied to me.

My message to Robert:
Hi Robert,
First off, sorry to hear about your son, hoping to try and help. I've noticed something that seems slightly off about your latest video "backyard".
There seems to be some sort of audio distortion when the orange shed is shown on camera - did you hear any noises at the time? If not, maybe it would be a good idea to take a look inside and around the outside (especially behind it if possible) of that shed for any clues.

Robert's response:
Thank you for your concern in regards to the dissapearence of my son. After reviewing the video tour I did of my backyard, I do infact notice the noises you reffered to. At the time, however, I did notice anything out of the ordinary. The orange shed you see in the video was here since we moved in. I believe the previous owners said they used to play cards in there, but I use it for tool storage. I will inspect the shed as soon as possible as you suggested.

Robert.

I then received another message from Robert. Second message:
In my previous message to you, I stated, "At the time, however, I did notice anything out of the ordinary." I correct myself; I did NOT notice anything out of the ordinary at the time. I have such trouble concentrating on these minor details that I often lose my train of thought.


I wonder if this mistake was intentional and is a way of telling us that we're missing something?

I've also checked the end of video #1 and brightened the image to see if there is anything hidden in the darkness but I couldn't find anything. I reckon we're just going to have to wait until the videos of searching the vent and shed are done before we find any more clues.

 		got a reply as well...i asked about the cats a bit, mostly if he had continued feeding them

Thank you for your concern. The orange shed is currently used for tool storage, as well as some other things. Someone else has pointed out the odd noises in the video, of which I am investigating as soon as possible. I have never had a close relationship with the kittens, so I am unaware as to whether or not they are acting different then usual. However, I can say that their behavior is a bit unorthodox for most animals in general. I usually spot them on or around the stump by the shed, just watching everything happen.

In regards to the image in the last video, I have unscrewed the vent this morning, and recorded a video of myself doing so. I will upload it today. I have found something that could get me started on a search.

could there be something about the stump?

 		Well he posted the other video I can hear a cat in the background near the end.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Right before he opens the box I can hear what sounds like a voice but cant tell what it is saying it could be a TV going in the background possibly? also I cant make out what is on the back of the last photo

 		I got a message from Robert just a bit ago here it is:
Quote:
Josh,

Thank you for your concern and for your contact information. Unfortunately I do not have an e-mail address at the time which you could reach me at. You do not have to apologize for pointing out the picture, had I not noticed it before you would have been a huge help. Now, in regards to the photograph, it is a picture of Michael when he was just a boy, in the yard. On the back of the photo, is written, "THERE IS NOTHING."; along with what I believe to be a small image of the shed. I am going out in the yard tonight to better inspect the shed. I know there is something out there that will help continue my search.

Robert.

Been lurking a bit, but I thought I might as well register and chime in now. I've only played one ARG before, and I don't know how things work around here, so I'll just put the following in spoiler tags:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Only one video, and it's name is apparently the reverse of RobertAura's first video.

The video's description looks like its Ukranian (that's what Google tells me). Translates to "Are We Sinners?"

 		The video name seems to be a hint that the audio is backwards (which is pretty apparent anyway), and reversed it just sounds like some classical music... no idea of the relevance.

Took me a while to dig around, but...

The reversed audio is the Ukraine Anthem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwAoJ88Kg5I

the people in the photograph that was stuck in the box looked to me like it might have been in Ukraine, or something, having family from there. Maybe something too look into?

 		The Russian translation from under the Numbered title in Michaels video comes out as


Quote:
Can it be true that we sinners?




That is a straight Ukraine to English babelfish translation. Still no translation for the words within the video itself.

Also, did anybody notice that Michaels Youtube profile was created 27 Jan 2007?

Interesting to think that either this game was planned out WAY in advance or somehow they found a way to alter the date.

***Edit***

the ukrainian Words in the video translate to "You Forgot"
