 		they must have had a backlog of submitted ghost stories just waiting to populate the new section of their website, for it to have things there to read on day one. (Are any of us going to try submitting a story?)

 		I... don't really have any good ones. Just a really old dream, that gets harder to remember each day. I could write about this one night... but it turned out to be a monkey, at least that's what I think.

 		*Yawn* This is moving at the speed of molasses. I'm wondering if the game side of this has ended, if not I hope this picks up soon.

Once again, I'm caught between thinking the LAGP are just the actors for a movie (and the stooges in the Umbra ARG) versus a real team of paranormal investigators, completely not to blame for the Order being lame.

Tyler has tweeted:

Although it looks like we might have to delay the BIG news for a while again, it's frustrating but circumstances dictate. Stay tuned please ...

Just booked an AWESOME investigation for next week, and it's gonna be on TV!!! We're super excited! Will share details soon.

 		Somebody went to huge lengths to send out packages, etc... it seems strange that they'd just abandon it.

How many people have sent in initiation photos/videos? Maybe a certain number of people need to before things start happening? Who knows.

 		[Update] Carol's Blog
Carol has updated her blog with two videos of their trip back to suicide bridge.

In the first video, she is trying to contact Lukas and is asking him questions. This video has been edited to include what they later heard on their recording equipment and believe to be Lukas answering the questions.

Q: Do you think there is anybody else that will be led to this bridge?
(when she ask this question, one of the recorders falls over). No answer is recorded for this question.

Q: Lukas do you know what first attracted the shadows to you? Did you do something?
A: "Open door"

Q: Was that spell, was it a farce? Was it actually responsible for what happened to you?
A: "No"

Q: Do you wish I'd have gotten here sooner, stopped you from jumping?
A: "Not your fault"

Q: Do you know what happened to you, what made you jump? The reason I'm asking you is obviously, I need help and I'm hoping you can give us some answers. Maybe prevent this from happening to me and to other people.
A: "Watching you"

At the end of the video one, Tyler notices a shadow and they chase it.

The second video picks up with them chasing the shadow. They happen upon the Umbra sigil as well has the Apostate's symbol and some enochian writing in chalk. Tyler starts to read a spell from a piece of paper, but Sam grabs the paper with the spell and runs off. Tyler says the spell is to call up the dead for protection. From googling, I think I found the spell, it's from "The Egyptian Book of the Dead". Found here, scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Quote:
I have divided the heavens, I have passed through the horizon, I have traversed the earth, [following] upon his footsteps. I am borne away by the mighty and shining ones because, behold, I am furnished with millions of years which have magic virtues. I eat with my mouth, I chew with my jaws; and, behold, I am the god who is the lord of the underworld: May there be given unto me, Osiris Ani, that which abideth for ever without corruption."

 		LAGhostPatrol hunting Hollywood ghosts on Thursday
I spend more time reading Tyler's tweets than I do paying attention to Carol's mystery. My brain hurts from trying to meta-analyze exactly what is going on here. Here are a few recent items from the twitter feed, in chronological order:
LAGhostPatrol wrote:

Didn't get to go scout today, but still scheduled to hunt for the TV show this week! Gonna be awesome. Will give all details after.

And since people keep asking, I will say that TV show we will b on is nationally broadcast, & on internet, so everyone should get to see!!

Just confirmed that we are THE FIRST AND ONLY team to ever hunt the location this week!! It's super, super famous, so that's extra awesome

Going through prep work now, while still trying to finish with the Suicide Bridge investigation stuff so we can post it. Busy busy busy!!!

Prepping for our AMAZING investigation tomorrow!!! Still can't believe after all the years, we will be the very first allowed to hunt there

And, our investigation is going to be broadcast on TV, which makes it even better! Been aiming for that for a while.

We are going to do a little interview as well, should be fun. Never have a problem talking about what we love doing.

Have heard some great guesses from you guys about which famous haunted hpllywood location it is, but no one is right yet...

Will reveal where we are investigating, and what show it is for after we shoot tomorrow.

don't know air date yet, prob in October. Will give you all the details when we have them!



A famous location? National TV? What could possibly go wrong?

 		Totally missed this
So apparantly I received a card in the mail about 2 weeks back, maybe longer *sigh*

It looks to be related to this game? I'm basing this solely on Carol's similar card in her video blog and the signature on it. I'll upload the card, take a look and let me know.

The image has been edited, black marker drawn over some parts and a sticker that says Are you smarter was added to it, nothing under the sticker FYI

EDIT: removed my address but left the street name because it was spelled incorrectly. Street name is Portobello

Just to keep you updated, we now know the location they "investigated" earlier this week, but not what TV show it will air on in October.
LAGhostPatrol wrote:

Ok folks, time to reveal the investigation we're so damn excited about. Ready????

The Magic Castle!!!! We are investigating the historic, world famous, super haunted, Magic F'ing Castle!

We have always, always wanted to hunt at the Magic Castle, but NO ONE has ever been allowed to, until us right now!

Could not be more excited, the stories about hauntings and ghosts at the Magic Castle are as legendary as the Magic Club there.

We will be investigating the Castle for a national TV show, but the producers have asked us to not give any info until it airs.

So, while we can reveal that we are Ghost Hunting the Magic Castle, can't say what show it is for.... Yet.

We've been told the show will air in October, so you're gonna to have to wait until then to see what evidence we discover!

We can't say any details, but it will be national broadcast plus internet. Once we are allowed to talk, we'll tell u more

Magic Castle Ghost Hunting was ridiculously awesome! Can't wait til you all see what happened on the show when it airs in OCT

Oh man, it is killing us that we cant talk about our investigation yesterday at the Magic Castle for a month!

Once the show gives us our tapes back that we shot, will have to literally lock them up until the show airs next month!

The show we are gonna be on is super cool, will appeal to a lot of people. Will air next month so stay tuned.


Well, at least we know Tyler lived to tell us about it.

 		Ha ha, I'm not so interested in these kind of shows; I was more interested in the personal ARG elements, but I'll watch the pilot, at least Very Happy

 		No updates, don't get your hopes up. (Personally, I think the ARG died, and will only return to haunt us from the afterlife)

Meanwhile, here is more promotional stuff for the LAGhostPatrol (whether real or fictional) from Tyler on Twitter
Quote:

A short while ago we promised a contest, but got too busy with everything else going on... Think its time to revisit!

Tomorrow we will start a contest to give away some sweet, sweet gear! Tshirts! etc! Check back tomorrow and I'll tell y'all what ya gotta do

Will make the announcement in afternoon, so check back to see how you can win a FREE, highly sought after LAGP t-shirt! And, some etc too


so, y'know, like, if you want branded merchandise for something which might be on TV (or in a movie theater) in the near future...

Oh, I guess Carol still has something bothering her -- she tweeted last week: "Third night in a row of the same recurring nightmare. Starting to worry." -- while Sam has practially disappeared.

I might remember to update tomorrow with details about the "contest", or not.

returning to add:
well, the "tomorrow" tweet was on Saturday, and Sunday came and went without any announcement about a contest. Tyler must have had other things to do.

Quote:
Contest time!!! Who wants to win a free LAGP t-shirt, and some other swag???

Here's what you gotta do to enter- go to our website, and write a TRUE story about a ghostly or paranormal encounter you've had. That's it!

Everyone who writes a story on the site will be entered in the contest, then we will draw winners in a month or so. Good luck!!!

And, get writing! Tell everyone about the ghost or ghouls or alien you saw, and win some sweet LAGP swag!!!!
