Triple post, sorry, but there's a lot of info here

Okay - here's what we have from the imgur account:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
First off, five pics. The first is the one posted that Drake can see that gave us the account name and password.
Here are links to the others:

All pictures are of burning buildings, all have have blurring/smearing effects put into the photos that forms the Bay Stalker's symbol.

First Pic
Second Pic (includes an odd "noise" artifact, lower left corner)
Third Pic (noise artifact, lower right corner)
Fourth Pic!!! (noise artifact, lower left-center)

Most important is that last one since it has what is very likely a Slendy/Agent appearance (due to the distortion artifact).

Also obvious is this code along the bottom edge of the photo:
6f 38 67 39 79 2e 6a 70 67

This is Hex Code and translates to: o8g9y.jpg

Put this into Imgur: http://imgur.com/o8g9y

And you get the bottom half of the 04/16/2008 Selznick report.


I'll transcribe the letter here in a new post.

EDIT: Second part of the letter transcribed:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Selznick [page tear] symbol of the Bay Stalker [circled]* etched [page tear; following word circled:] tree in the [page tear; likely "woods be-"]hind the REDDING home. He worked with local law enforcement officers to ensure JACK's continued safety while he attempted to identify a culprit based on evidence surrounding the tree [word "tree" circled with note "not indigenous to Alabama; AOKIGAHARA"]

[half-erased/lightly written word in left margin at the paragraph break: "henderson"**]

He found traces of a DNA sample that pointed to [next two words circled] California resident with no history of being reported in Alabama. By the time he could follow through on the lead, the REDDING home was set ablaze suddenly***, claiming the lives of all three members of the family. The case was filed away.


editor notes:
* This appears to be where the "man with no face" connection line on the top half of the report refers to.
** Likely refers to Serah
*** "set ablaze suddenly" circled, with a line going to a note: Jack survived

Lots of new information! I don't have any specific theories to throw out, so here are some observations:

-Blackthir13en's tweet regarding the foolishness of humanity seems to suggest that at one point he was trying to drop clues for Selznick like he's now doing for us/Drake. So we can probably assume that whatever Blackthir13en wanted Selznick to do was never accomplished.
-Serah and Jack might have met before Aokigahara...or, at least, they were in close vicinity to each other.

Not really sure where to go from here...doesn't seem like we can contact Drake to tip him off about the other half of the letter. I guess we could try talking to Blackthir13en via twitter? But he seems to prefer being cryptic, with the exception of the hilarious herp derp tweet that lead to the imgur site. /rambling

Just as an aside, I did save the photos in the imgur offline in case the site drops or they are removed or whatever.

I'd send/link to the other half of the letter for Drake, but there's apparently no way to comment on the Redding File blog.

Oh, MAN. Nice work with the login info, 12th! I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the AN and PW could stand for, but it was totally staring us in the face the whole time.

We have lots of new stuff, although I'm still not really sure what to make of it. I was looking at the first part of the letter again, and trying to figure out the signifcance of 19. Selznick (or whoever made the annotations) has handwritten "Anderson; 19" above "Jack Redding," meaning he found out his middle name and that the full name had 19 letters. "Joel Selznick" also has a note saying 19 above it. I noticed "Officer Joel Selznick" is 19 letters, if we count that as his "full" name. But I still don't know what 19 means.

Also...I can't remember whether this has been mentioned before or not, but there are a lot of 4 letter names starting with J. Jack, Joel, Joey from Report #4, and Jeff from Report #2. So I'm wondering if the annotation above Joel Selznick DOES in fact say 4j19. As in, Officer Joel Selznick is a name with 19 letters, and a first name that's 4 letters, starting with a J. But again...no idea of the signifance of this.

Did anyone try emailing that jred618SPLATgmail.com address that Report #6 came from? I'm guessing it's not a real account, but have we checked?

Well I can't take credit for that, it was more just that I looked at the b13 twitter on a lark and he'd given us the answer....

I don't think anyone has emailed to Jack since the first phases of the ARG, since it was learned that the email wasn't exactly going to Jack - we were emailing things directly to the Agent. On top of that, I think the only way we were getting emails to anyone was through the cell phones that were found in aokigahara. The status of those phones are unknown. At best, Serah has hers, but it's been nearly two months since we heard from her (and the email doesn't go to her anyway).

Sorry to just write a list of problems with no solutions, but that's what I can recall now.

Just finished reading through the blog + all the pages of this thread. For some reason I've been more into slendyblogs lately than slendyvlogs, dunno why. Anyway, I'm really liking this interpretation of Slenderman and I'm curious to see how it all works out...

Um. A lot of weird activity on the b13 twitter in the middle of last week. Looks like he got into a twitter conversation with someone. I can't really tell if this is a UFer (or interplosion person) or just a random troll. I'm thinking that maybe it was someone who just stumbled into this (since he references a lot of other media that he thinks the account is related to).

Outside of the general posturing about being a god and being condescending, b13 suggests that Jim Drake is actually a janitor. That and he can perceive things through use of the Bay Stalker symbol.

EDIT: Okay, actually this might have been someone from another slenderwork (or connected to one). Anyone know which one?

Sigil's main contact is named Noah Willette, who says a lot of ARGy things on his profile...
"What happened why did i post a bunch or random numbers as tweets...WTF"

I can't tell if they have an ongoing ARG,
or if they're just very interested in ARGs.

Not really...

Slendy (the Agent) can force people to act without their consent, similar to IT from A Wrinkle in Time. Using this power, Slendy had Jack hang himself in Aokigahara, and now Jack is nothing more than a Slendy puppet, similar to Charles Wallace from A Wrinkle in Time. However, with this puppet, Slendy can better communicate with Serah. This is a loophole that Slendy discovered, and one which Black13 did not expect or want him to figure out. Black13 didn't want him to figure that out, because Black13 wants to keep Slendy as their slave. Presumably, Slendy can only be freed if all five orbs are brought together: He's using Jack's body to better communicate with Serah, so that Serah will retrieve the last orb. The last orb is the black one, which was discovered some time ago by Jeff Lapidus, according to the Redding File. It's probably with Quantico now. Speaking of orbs, Serah looked into the blue orb and saw: Her father, and a man in a red hat. These guys unwittingly led Slendy to Serah and Jack, respectively, so the man in the red hat is probably Brian Williamson, Jack's neighbor.

Recap of recent events, brought to you by me.

There's a new video on TRF, with the title "wasted" and the description "itstrulywasted".

The video contains the phrases:

tonight
you are young
so now set the world on fire
let it burn brighter
brighter [my edit: I think, not sure]
you are mine now

I've no idea what to make of this.

Google fu on the words brings up the lyrics for a FUN. song. The lyrics aren't an exact match but they're pretty much all there.

It appears to have turned into an American cop show.
