 		New Update
Paranoia
New post on the blog. He followed through with breaking into his neighbors house and stealing the notebooks. Has anybody come up with anything to do with his name? or is it a dead end?

 		I got some clarification on the images via email.

Hi Kyle,

I have been following your blog and I had some questions for you.

On this picture (http://alchemyiswonderful.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/picture-761.jpg) there is some wording on the bottom. Something to the effect of "The infected" but I cannot make out the rest. Can you please take a picture of that area and post it?

Also it looks like there might be something on the cover. Can you look closely and let us know via your blog?

Many thanks,

Nicko

"NOT YET"

and "THE INFECTED GATHER HERE" is cut out, sorry

Hey Kyle, any information on how your neighbor died?

Sent from my iPhone


He said:
Quote:
they arent saying much, i think they are treating this as s murder. they got the body out pretty fast, and from what I gather, they found her *very* dead(they carried her out in two body bags, i dont know the circumstances). When I asked about the murder weapon, they acted nervous and said that they didnt know much.

it seems like something like the Black Dahlia
I feel a sense of impending doom...


say...someone told me a myth about the slender man, I think my neighbor was researching that when she got killed/

-Kyle


He put "Black Dahlia" in bold and extra large font size.

Hmmm...

 		http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dahlia

Black Dahlia = Elizabeth Short. That's her Wikipedia.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mutilated... Unsolved crime... Sounds reeeeaaaally like our dear neighbour, doesn't it?


Some tons of info about the Slender Man, for those who (like me) didn't know what it was. Got all the links from Google search. Trout myself (I suppose I'm the only one who didn't know).

http://www.mythicalcreaturesguide.com/page/Slender+Man

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/slender-man

Creepy.


Oh, and ironnikki gave me an idea. I'll try to detect steganography with my computer in those images.

EDIT: I found no steg (either there isn't or it needs a password).

I tried to examine closely the notebook images. This is what I think they are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Image 1: Notebook cover. As Kyle said, NOT YET is written. It seems to be punched with a pen or something.
Image 2: Back of the cover, we see the other side of the "punching".
Image 3: The Slender man symbol (see post below) with something written under it.
Image 4: I'm not really sure. I see two stick figures of different size (adult and child? Or Slendy and child?). Something going out of the ground, and some strange figure flying.
Image 5: Something written. The first line says "WHAT IS YOUR PRICE?". And 20.000.000 circled.
Image 6: Some kind of puzzle (the grid agent967 was talking about, I suppose). It makes me remember those school exercices where we had to colour the different areas depending on the number they had. There are some letters: E, J, R, Q, D and some strange O with a bar across it.
Image 7: Two words. I think the frst one is "TO". The other one is illegible due to resolution.
Image 8: Some kind of block? I don't really know what it is.
Image 9: The word OPEN.
Image 10: At first glance, it looks like "NO". But the N looks more like a Z, and we have another "barred O".
Image 11: Some writing, illegible due to resolution. I think it reads "bu__ur".
Image 12: Looks to me as some kind of map.
Image 13: "EYES", with a picture of what seems (conveniently) a pair of eyes.
Image 14: A stick figure that resembles our dear Slender man, With the words "THE END" above it. Come to think of it, the neighbour drew in Kyle's driveway something he identified as a lot of tree branches and the words "HE FOUND ME", it actually could be this. The Slender man found the neighbour and now "HE IS UPON US"? (she wrote it on a wall at her house)
Image 15: Zoom into the words "THE END" of the last picture.
Image 16: A lot of those Slender man symbols from image 3. Also, it seems to be written in a different notebook, and with a black pen instead of a blue one.
Image 17: Zoom out of the previous image. Now it looks like a tree to me. The words "THE INFECTED GATHER HERE" are seen at the bottom of the page. On the upper right corner, we read "ZERO OUT THE IMPOSSIBLE".
Image 18: Zoom into the words "ZERO OUT THE IMPOSSIBLE" from the last image.


I'll email Kyle to get confirmation on these and ask him about the illegible parts.



Oh - wait. As the first link about the Slender man says, "there are never any bodies or evidence left behind in his wake to deduce a definite conclusion." Now that may take the Slender man out of the way.

Image 3: Some kind of indicator (like those that appear in videogames to show where your bullet's gonna land)


Looks to me more like the slenderman symbol, as seen in the marblehornets videos, especially #11.
