Just to be thorough, I'll post the Email I just received from Lukas. Nothing groundbreaking, other than him letting me know he is using the Umbra sigil to try and ward off the Shadows..

Quote:
I don't know what this* means. Because the Order (and I am thinking this Tsitluccoeht is a member) is normally secretive I can't imagine why they would publish a countdown timer. They must want to make a public statement or -- more worrisome -- make an example of someone. I surely hope that it is not me. I've been planning to go to San Diego for the weekend and I'll now stay away until next Tuesday, just so I won't be tempted or compelled to visit the Bridge.

As for the sigil, someone did send it to me. I've got it hanging at the foot of my bed to try to ward of the figure I often see there. I also folded one up and keep it on my person at all times. I still see them, but maybe it is making them keep their distance. Thank everyone for their help. I don't know if I would have lasted this long without you all.

Lukas


*the word "this" in the first sentence is referring to the countdown

EDIT: Forgot to mention, thank you for the info about that Cather lol you are indeed a supersleuth.

I wrote Lukas and suggested he might get out of town and asked if he could share any information about the Order. He responded with this...

I found a notation in an old library book that the Order could possibly date back to the 14th century. Alas my notes form this research are in such disarray I don't believe I could locate the source anymore.

A new paranormal TV show is premiering tonight on The Travel Channel. Just for fun, I used the contact form on the LAghostpatrol website to suggest they try out for it. It's a competition, if you can believe that, "to see who can get more results of the paranormal existing" (yeah, right)

Here's the show's website
http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Paranormal_Challenge

and here's a snarky review
http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/goingthroughchannels/2011/06/friday-june-17-2011-paranormal.php

I doubt I'll get a reply from LAGP, but there's nothing else for any of us to do.

That would be interesting seeing people on TV that we've been in contact with.. even though its hosted by Zack Bagans who I can't help but laugh at whenever he becomes "possessed" and roid rages against a wall during 50% of the Episodes. It kinda sucks because when Ghost Adventures first came out, I liked it (the episode with the brick.. )

Its hard to get into paranormal shows now, knowing alot of them, I wont say fabricate, but "embellish" signs of hauntings.. the only one I really still enjoy is Destination Truth (the episode from Romania with the giant circle in the woods where the guy got lifted up and thrown back to the edge was intriguing.)

Seeing as how we really have nothing to work on in this ARG at the moment, I figured it was safe to talk about the Paranormal Show Genre without repercussions Smile

EDIT: *Crickets Chirping* yeah uh.. guess we're on break till the 20th... =/

Then you'll love the reply (to my suggestion above) i got from Tyler:
Quote:
Hey,

Got your email, any time people want to see us on TV is a good thing! Thanks, that means a lot. We don't just hunt Ghosts for us, we do it for people like you so that you can share the experience.

Bagans would never allow us to be on Paranormal Challenge though even if we wanted to do it, which we don't. Competing for evidence is a ridiculous concept, that show is gonna suck and we want no part of it.

We do things on our own terms, and when we get another TV show it is going to be the best one ever! Also got some other big things in the works, so stay tuned...

Peace, and appreciate your continued support!

There appears to have been a few developments on Carol's blog. The phone she found rang for the first time.

I went on and sent it a text, I'll see if I get a reply.

Is this a California-based telephone number?

Earlier today, I called the number twice and tsitluccoeht sent me a text, which I've answered several times.

Quote:
tsitluccoeht: Carol should not have given you this number, yet you dare call twice. Do you tempt fate? 1:10 PM
Me: Who are you? 1:17 PM
tsitluccoeht: renommusdnargehtmai 1:24 PM
Me: What do you summon? 1:32 PM
tsitluccoeht: arbmu 1:33 PM
Me: And yes, I do tempt fate. 1:34 PM
Me: You summon the shadows? For what purpose? 1:35 PM
tsitluccoeht: Do not be so bold. You are the profane. Our mysteries shall remain hidden from you. 1:40 PM
Me: Do you know Lukas? 4:05 PM
tsitluccoeht: Yes. 4:10 PM


Not sure where to go from here.

Here's the rest of the conversation...

Quote:

Me: Why do you call me profane? 4:23 PM

tsitluccoeht: You are not of the Order, thus a member of the Profane. 4:25 PM

Me: Can you tell me about the Order? 5:04 PM


tsitluccoeht: That shall be revealed in time. 5:06 PM

Me: Was it you or the Order who wrote in the strange language on the stairs? 5:11 PM

tsitluccoeht: This is not for you to know. 5:12 PM

Me: One last question for now. Is Lukas in danger from you? 5:14 PM

tsitluccoeht: No. 5:18 PM


So is Lukas not in danger at all, or just not in danger from tsitluccoeht?

*ETA Carol has updated her blog again.

I think he was answering your question in the literal sense.. he himself will not harm Lukas, but the Shade he summoned will..

interesting stuff however. Have you emailed Carol regarding this convo?

EDIT: Argh I step away for a day and a half and see what happens? Two new blog postings on Carols blog. One from yesterday which enaxor and random were talking about and now theres another one from today. gonna check em both out now.

Yes, I sent her a transcript of our texts, after I read her last blog post. I must admit, it's kinda creepy texting somebody who calls themselves "The Grand Summoner" and talks about the "Order". Shocked

Sorry I forgot to answer this earlier. Yes, it appears to be a cell number in the LA area.

From our last correspondence with Lukas, it almost felt like he was tryng to give us hints as to the name of this "Order". What we know at least as of right now is that it originated in the 14th century, they performed rituals that the lesser keys of solomon (goetia) in an attempt to control demons to do their bidding, and they are led by a "grand summoner".. this all may be irrelevent to the big picture but just in case, id like to be prepared Smile

I've been meaning to ask all you people who are following this to clarify the two sigil-signs we've seen. The Lesser Key of Solomon is what The Order uses to summon something from the darkness, right? And the other one I'm calling Umbra's demon sign is used to ward off that evil, right?

I went searching for candidates for The Order dating back to the 14th century, and only found the Knights Templar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar_%28Freemasonry%29#The_Degrees_or_Orders

Of course, there are many secret societies, some so secret that we'll never find them!

Thats what we're led to believe, if only from the pentagram that was used being taken straight from the lesser key. (Pentagram of Solomon).

I think there was another order called the order of Hermes, I'll have to read further on it in a sec. If anything interesting pops up ill post it.
