On keys:

They could be referencing the Ceremony of the Keys-- I'm not sure. Queen Elizabeth's Keys, actually, and that takes place at 9:53.

But the statement "your words..." makes me think it's something Laura said. Combing through her blog doesn't reveal much. Her side links are to haunted places in Arizona and G. Ghosthunter's blog. No references to keys of any flavor, though there is a reference to the people with many names.

Unless they're talking about the passport code, from the locker, which is possible, and we have yet to really figure out, beyond the Greenwich Village mention.

EDIT: Keyes gave Fawkes his pocket watch and died the same day.
Fawkes dealt a lot with Thomas Waad, who interrogated him. He was the last on the scaffold and actually jumped to his death before they could get to him.

Ok, I've been lurking here for awhile and since my brain hurts I thought I would try to pull somethings together in the hope of making things clearer.

We have Lori, who is a college student and can't decide if she wants to be an English or History Major.

She is interested in ghosts, the paranormal, and dead people (i.e. her links and "I Was Charlotte Bronte") but also interested in literature and history. She is taking literature and history classes.

She has had contact with both a ghosthunter ("G") and a possible ghost (Elisabeth). She has a dead sister and possibly a dead father.

So far the story and clues seem to be located in London. The game brought us to London with Longitude and Latitude coordinates and the poem made references to traveling.

We have references to both literary and historical events (bringing together Lori's interests).

Literary references:

Virginia Woolf
Leonard Woolf
The Hours
Big Ben (from Mrs. Dalloway)
Charlotte Bronte
Jane Eyre
Robert Frost

Historical/place references:

Big Ben
The Tower of London
Guy Fawkes
November 6, 1605 (the day Guy Fawkes was brought to the Tower of London)
"Remember" (which makes me think of that rhyme, "Remember, remember the fifth of November, but the date we have is the sixth).

I think telling us we have the "right Guy" means that Guy Fawkes is indeed the username. Now we just have to figure out the password.

Nice summary there. Certainly helps me since this is moving so fast. I got a version of the Leonard email.

I know you've been helping Laura Moore and I do not like it. Mind your own business. You don't know the whole story of her missing so-called "fathers." This is deeper than you think.

You've been warned.

Leonard


Pretty good sleuthing to find my email, though it is in the contact thread.

You've been wise to keep your distance from Lori. Those meddling fools will be sorry.

dang thought I had found something new. You beat me to posting this.

On a side note, Mr Moore was big into the occult to incude Tarot. If that means anything.

But keep in mind that the date on the picture is the sixth of November.

So far, I know that Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII, but I don't know of a book with that title. The book half of the clue might point more toward Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte, although I don't see the connection.

Edit: The first one seems to point to Lady Jane Grey with the 1554 reference, which could be combined with Eyre to give us Jane Eyre for the fictional name.

Edit 2: Third one could be Guido Fawkes since that was the name Guy Fawkes used while fighting for the Spanish, and he wasn't killed until the 30th of January 1606
