Okay - Matt simply replied "Hello?" to my normal text email message as well. Now this is weird.

Heck 1 and 2 could be the same thing for all we know.

I sent an email to Matt asking him if everythings alright. See his answer below, he has been busy. He wants to to go up in the attic this week and thinks about going inside some of the buildings in belcher town state. Note the /. sign at the end of his mail, but I don't know if this is important.

............................

Lynchdada,

Nothing worth mentioning has happened the last few days so I haven't posted anything. I've been pretty busy as well, haven't been home much. This week, me and a friend are going up into the attic with the camera. I can try to find some more information on the doctor, i'll see what i can do.

As for the instant message conversation. I don't know what to make of those symbols. Seems like a bunch of nonsense. Maybe there's something wrong with kmy laptop? Also, I've been thinking about going inside some of the buildings. Might do that soon/.


Maybe the forward slash indicates the end of a set of symbols, and the fact that it's at the end of the email is a clue. It means end in html coding, so maybe that's what it is here?
it might be a way to separate clusters of symbols.
idk.

EDIT: Well shit, never mind. There are instances of double forward slashes, so that negates that. I tried.
Maybe individual symbols don't have specific meaning, but as a whole they mean something. This happened after he found out about Belcherton, then again after he went there. Maybe it's something calling him back (not tying it down to any specific theory).
Then again, maybe that's all too simple. I should stop talking.

 		"Can you send your previous e-mail again? It's just coming up as a bunch of slashes and commas."


I didn't use commas - Just slashes and dots..... I explained again and asked him to forward me whatever he saw.

I'm following up, hopefully this is something worthwhile and not a misunderstanding.

I think the symbols are way too obviously numbers to ignore this. Of course the numbers could themselves just be code for something else. The whole thing, to me, looks like an attempt to establish a communications protocol. That's why I sent back some slashes and dots. Just a random stab in the dark, really... we'll see.

 		Matt also asked me to resend an email, because he got just slashes and commas. I asked him to forward it to me, maybe we can decipher it based on the original text.

Maybe this doesn't mean anything, but that's a lot like the two "Hello?"s in Upload 1.

 		Hey there. Been lurking awhile on the site, and here.
Thought I'd contribute thoughts on the latest post.. He mentions going back into the attic today (Yay! bout time!) with a friend, (also Yay!) And we are left with a creepy trail on the end:

////

I ran it through a morse code translator, and got this.

-..-. -..-. -..-. -..-. / -..-. -..-. -..-. / -..-. -..-. / -..-. / -..-

I am SO new to translating morse code.. so maybe some of you will know how to translate this into words? Hah.

This may not help much.. But I felt the need to give my thoughts.

Ehm, what? if you translate a text into morse code, then translate it back to text, obviously the original and the final product will be the same, or am I missing something here?

 		I agree with nils' comment, it's essentially a countdown in slashes.
Maybe something interesting happens when he goes up.

 		So while Matt did post on his blog, he did not forward the "slashes and commas" mail. Disappointing.

 		Actually, I'm changing my mind. The slashes are most likely just there to say that "something weird is going around". That's what I think at least. Eagerly waiting for tomorrow.
