Well someone was nice enough to supply this earlier:


Which show the letters from the trailer match the letters in the original photo


Oh, its the same film and the letters, its just that for some reason, they are reversed in the trailer as compared to this new photo. You cant flip a super 8 film since it has the sprockets on one side only,
How would this happen? Just pointing it out..


Don't forget that in the trailer, we were looking at the camera's lens from the outside, at the reflection of what it was filming. I got a headache trying to align things in my head, but I'm pretty sure these two images still line up. No matter what though, there's no doubt that they are the same frames. Write a word down a hundred times, and no two words will ever match up perfectly. There will always be a different curve, length, or pressure.

[SPEC] I'm starting to wonder whether this guy has the film, OR the journal with the original "scariest thing I ever saw" writing, and its surrounding story. Either one would probably be important evidence, perhaps important enough to go underground with.

 		Like most of you I find the red hat with the monkey to be an odd item placed in this setting. Why would two people secretly communicating with one another about the scariest thing they ever saw have something like this red hat? We know that the color red has been an occasional indicator to a clue with JJ Abrams related stuff. I think that if there is anything in the new picture (besides the zip code on the box) that would be a clue of sorts then the red hat with the monkey is it.

Yes people, this time I was too late and habve to gratulate everybody for awesome work!

The find thing about this update is: now we can follow a communication between two characters, which makes the story more vital. I wonder, how it is connected to Braegen14...


Perhaps the playing of the tones is what has 'reactivated' something?


Interesting idea, sound as activator of something. Of a brain perhaps (braegen)?

Hehe, btw, Monkey is appearing often in JJs world.

In Cloverfield ARG: in Slusho commercial

In Star Trek ARG: weird Monkey with telescope at alertvulkan

In Fringe ARG: the blog http://www.glowingmonkeys.com/ which URL appeared in the Fringe pilot or secod episode. People discussed, whether it were perhaps just OOG. But I'm sure, it was tie in.

P.S. Sorry for doubleposting

Oh yeah! I forgot about the chimp in the Slusho commercial. Haha, that was long ago my friend. I never followed the Fringe ARG but I think there was a chimp in the LOST ARG as well.

 		(Speculation before anybody else brings this up...)

I am starting to think this has a tie to ET. Rocket Poppeteers has two "ET"s in the center of its logo. There's the speculation that the boy from the trailer is Elliot, and I think the unidentified object in the trailer looks like ET memorabilia (Elliot on his bike with ET in a basket. I can't find this particular piece anywhere though.). Now, this picture could easily be "ET" too (I know that it fits the trailer and the end of the word "ever".).

Trout away...

 		The wall the projection is on is not flat , or our perspective of the photograhper is at an angle. Therefore the projector is off to the left somewhat....but the angle of perspective(photographer), projection, and the "mirror" just don't look right at all.

I depicted the angles with the red lines in the image below

 		Guys, my personal opinon is this is a picture(for evidence) to show the other person he is corresponding with of two different photos he had collected. The left is laying on top of the right one, hence the angles.

The left photo is a mirrored image and perhaps the only way the first photographer could have "sneeked" a snapshot of some clues...

 		Wow this is definitely confusing. I'm not sure what to make of that picture, it just seems to me that it's from the trailer ... although, they wouldn't put it on that website for no reason.

 		@Headman
Yes, indeed, I slightly remember about a monkey in LOST ARG, just where was it?..


And people, if there is written "sold", so perhaps we should check out ebay or so? For red hats with monkey pin?

 		Camera angle, reflections
Camera angle, reflections on surfaces, blah, blah, blah
I concur with AmblinAlong's take: "The wall the projection is on is not flat , or our perspective of the photograhper is at an angle."

Also, and I can't recall who posted this, but when you look at what is below the sheet of paper with the scissors on top, there appears to be writing of some sort.
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=21553

Also, the images posted that show the table with the reflection of the "projector" and folders of some sort—the reflected image of the "folders?" doesn't line up.

This, along with the "speaker" looking item in the reflection could just be bad PhotoShopping, but maybe there's something there.

And I agree with SeekerX regarding the "reflected angle shot" depicted by the mirror/glass pane—something just doesn't seem right, and the cross member that bisects that image—what in real terms could that be? I just can't wrap my mind around it, and usually my mind is pretty wrappable!

And the phrase: "I think something may have reactivated."

It certainly implies that the writer was aware of (whatever "it" is) and its "active" and "inactive" state, and had experienced it before?!? When? What?

Just chimin' in.

Great work everyone

It was Joop the orangutan on the Hanso Foundations website. Looks like they have a thing for primates.

I think it's better to assume that the projector is on top of the box on the right side and is angled to project directly in front of a tripod camera. (cameras were alot heavier back then) Now maybe the stacks of folders or papers are being used to prop up the projector for a better angle.

I just remembered finding a really old projector that my dad used to have. It was a box with a hole in the bottom, with mirrors and a lightbulb inside. You could set it on top of a paper and it would shine the image on the wall just like this picture.

 		I can see that the hat isn't necessarily an indicator as to when this picture is supposed to have been taken but what about the funky lamp. Some of these objects could simply be there to act as a clue to what time-frame we are dealing with or they might just be red herrings.

The unidentifiable object appears to me to be a close up of a railing that is dividing rooms. It was a popular style in the 70's i believe to have the living room a step or two lower than the entry and than putting a rail around it. Confused
