Maybe I'm imagining it then. I'm going to point a friend of mine who's better with these things at that vid and see what he thinks. He's better at that kind of thing than I am, but doesn't play ARG's. Damn shame too. lol

I really hope I wasn't imagining it. Oof.

Whoa, I hear something too. Specifically at 2:21-2:32. Almost right before the voice, actually.

What I find interesting is that the voice doesn't sound malicious in any way.
It just sounds like a normal person.
Maybe someone is on the other end, confused as well

Actually, I was thinking about the voice. It kind of sounds like him. When he first called out hello, and that the voice at the end is a kind of delayed echo or something.

But that's just me.

A couple of us think it may have been his voice, which helped lead to the time warp theory.

I'm really curious what he's going to do next. He's been given a lot of interesting ideas from people on his blog.

I emailed him suggesting he do a search on past property sales and try to talk to previous owners, prod the grounds with a metal detector for fun, and rip out the insulation in the attic to see what's hiding up there.

the time/dimension warp thing makes me think of The Dionaea House, if anyone remembers/followed that story.

Just to be sure about his location, I shot Matt an email askin' where he lived, here was his reply:

Quote:
Mister Malign (if that EVEN IS your real name)

I live in Massachussets. Thanks for the help.

Matt


So yeah, I must have missed it. Also, to iconochasm, there's a high chance that is the building. Considering they were turned into condos/apartments or something like that, he does flash his camera upwards toward some stairs, that could be some sort of indication. By the looks of this picture, it looks like that building is shown in the upper-right corner, either untouched or just remodeled from the outside, I'm thinking it was maybe a power plant?

I'm sure you've already read about the whole Melvin Wilson thing, so it could possibly be a direct relation to him, or the woman he murdered which he spread across three graves I believe. Either that or some other specific patient, but I'm not so sure I could really find a file with all the patients room numbers, so... yeah.

(Also source for picture and whatnot here: http://www.opacity.us/site20_metropolitan_state_hospital.htm )

I'm becoming more and more convinced that this is the place.
So what do we do?
Should we tell Matt?
I live in California so I can't exactly go over there, otherwise I might go look for myself lol

I think we should definitely tell him, I wouldn't mind shooting him an email to inform him of it, unless you want to since you found it in the first place.

Ok just watched the attic video again, to listen for the music. I did not hear any clear music, but I'm on a laptop and didnt have my headphones handy. However I did hear what sounded like a couple of notes from a music box.

Also this time when I heard it, the voice didnt sound the same to me. Then again I am having a major allergy attack today so may not be hearing clearly, but the voice sounded older this time. Not quite like Matt.

ETA

Decided to send him a mail as I hadn't in a while.

Matt,

Was looking over your attic tape again and thought that I may have heard something right before the voice says hello. It almost sounds like there is a music box playing for a split second.

Also was thinking, if the guy who had lived in the house was a psychologist and worked near by that would mean (I'd assume) that the hospital was near by. Do you know of any old hospitals in the area?

Guess I'm probably not offering much in the way of help. LOL Just posing more ideas. Unfortunately I'm no where close to help or I'd do more. Either way stay safe.

Tenshi

Sure, I'll write him an email later today Very Happy

EDIT:
Here's what I sent him

Hey Matt,

After watching the tape and talking with a few people, I've come to the conclusion that the institution shown might be the Met State mental hospital in Waltham, near Boston.

http://www.opacity.us/site20_metropolitan_state_hospital.htm

The fact that the ex tenant of your house was a psychosurgeon makes the connection seem more plausible.
You might ask your neighbor if he remembers where specifically he worked.
Also, the architecture and interior looks uncannily similar.
Compare these two photos to when the camera pans the room in AT2.

There are more pictures at that site, you may want to look at them.
Just trying to offer some help.

Good luck!
Luke
