The first thing I thought of when I saw the end of the second tape was that it was a spinning turbine vent you'd see on a roof. Not sure it would make that kind of sound though.

Got my response this morning. Nothing major just stating he's still in the living room and feels safer there.


Hey Tenshi,

Thanks for your concern.

Yes I am still sleeping in the living room. I'm getting a little sick of it but, at this point. I feel safer and more at ease, sleeping away from the attic.

Matt

Edit to add: Sent him a response

Hey Matt,

Can't say that I blame you. I don't know if I would be inclined to sleep near the attic myself. Heck you're braver then me, I'd probably be at a hotel by now.

I know you where thinking about going back up into the attic, but after the dream are you still inclined to do so? If not I would suggest maybe looking into that building on the second video. Do you know any buildings in the area that it could be?

Was going to edit again but it was getting goofy.

Next response and my response Smile

Tenshi,

The dream hasn't dissuaded my decision about returning to the attic at all. Also, I don't know anything about the buildings on the second tape. I am planning on getting to a library at some point and doing some research though.

matt

Matt,

Good for you! Not letting things stop you. Just be careful regardless. It will be interesting to see what you find if anything at the library.

Tenshi

I think trying to find the cause of the smell might be something of a crapshoot, so I'll let you guys worry about that one lol. Commented on his blog, asking him if he could remember where the smell was most concentrated in the attic in his dream. It's possible that there will be something there, something that he will find when he goes back up there.

I thought if we could get some more info out of the next tape it would help, so I sent him this suggestion:

Quote:
Matt,

A couple of quick thoughts about your attic trip. If you decide to go back up, take a watch with you. Synchronize it with a clock in your house or another watch that you leave below. This may sound ridiculous, but you seem to have lost time on your initial expedition, and this would help establish if you somehow blacked out and had your camera tampered with (it seems unlikely, but the more likely of the options I can think of), or if you somehow jumped ahead several hours (much more unlikely, but I don't have any other thoughts). If you could acquire a second camera, you might also place one at the bottom of the ladder before you go up, in order to record what's going on below, and establish what happened during your lost time.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

His response:

Quote:
H,

I am going to go back up, I'm just not sure when yet. Plus, I want to bring someone else with me I think. I'll probably take your advice on syncing a watch to see what happens. I know it sounds ridiculous (the losing time idea) but strangely, that seems to be the best explanation for what happened. The idea of setting up a second camera seems intriguing.

Thanks for your concern and the ideas,
Matt


So with a little luck, we'll at least have a clock synch from the next expedition, and hopefully a double tape.

Love the idea of a camera at the base of the ladder. I know it had been suggested putting one in the attic itself but the ladder idea is pretty cool.

Hope we aren't driving the poor PM crazy with our ideas and any execution there in!

The response I got from the paranormal investigator bit:

Quote:
Hello Mr. Contaldi,

Don't worry it's not awkward. I assumed someone like yourself would contact me sooner or later. I mean, I put all this stuff on the internet so anyone could see it. It's true I don't believe in ghosts or anything like that but, I can say that there is definitely something happening on my property, I'm just not sure what. As for info to the house/previous owners, I plan on talking to my neighbors more in depth this weekend. One neighbor in particular, said he didn't remember many of the owners (as they were always moving in and out fairly quickly) but one did stick in his mind, an older man. The conversation got off track after that but, I plan on questioning him more on the man this weekend.

Thanks you for your concern,
Matt Zesiger

Matt,

Well I am happy that regardless of what is happening you are staying on the defensive! You wouldn't believe how many people knock me as crazy and stay open to hauntings.
As for talking to your neighbors, a follow up on that older man may help us help you. As soon as you get any details, please respond here or on your blog! Keep us updated, we hope the best for you!

~Lou

I'm really curious what we're going to get about this old man. It should be interesting to see where this is leading, as so far it's a grassroots ARG that is totally holding my attention. And I haven't had one of those in a very long time. Smile

Agreed, I check for updates first thing in the morning. Too bad there isn't one today. Sad

In all honesty, I think this guy should get a major check on those buildings, there might be some clues in those places more than his house. And the end reminds me of his nightmare, he said it was spinning, but not in perfect motion, wobbling up and down like a record spinning, and 'Welcome' could be an indication such as 'Welcome to the future'.

More than the welcome, there WAS indeed the "find me" imperative in the video. I don't think it's "find me welcome", but really "find me" as in go and look for me.

Yeah, that's what I meant about the buildings, considering they show up right when find me shows up, and not only once but twice.

Matt posted a new blog.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is some real interesting things posted in it. Apparently it seems the previous owner was a doctor who practiced psychosurgery and worked in the area.

What's really weird is how the guy moved out. Makes me think that the reason stuff is happening is because of something he left behind. Perhaps while he was doing his doing research into mental illness he discovered something or created something that is causing the effects.... like some big experiment?

I like the direction you're thinking in, Tenshi. That's a pretty valid idea.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's also possible that the "find me" refers to finding the remains of a patient out in one of the abandoned buildings, which would supposedly be where the psychosurgeon work. OR maybe the ghost of the psychosurgeon is haunting the house, intent on making sure no one discovers his experiments that he left behind.


This is a really fun new post, because it offers lots of new possibilities. But I think we should try to work it in with a few seemingly essential clues:

1. the contents of the 1st tape and Matt being followed
2. the various puzzles in the 2nd tape, including "welcome" and "find me"
3. the sudden disappearance of the 3rd tape
4. the time jump in the attic and the second voice saying "hello"
