IDK if it's just the weird and disturbed nature of the writing, but the grammar is really, really bad. like it doesn't make sense at all bad.

Only the middle sentence makes any kind of sense. I wonder if it's purposefully like that, or it's just weak production.

Honestly, I think it's just that I'm shitty at translating Spanish anymore. High school Spanish class is nearly a decade behind me. That, and I think that the writer is an English speaker, as some of the lines follow English grammar and structure, I think. Again, it's been forever. I played around with it a bit, and here's what I've got now.

Quote:

Duermen en sus sue tras se despierta a tu pase. Te servir�n de guia en la oscuridad. Que teman tendr� en los relojes criatura das te. La criatura sombra espera--

gets you

Quote:

They sleep in your dreams after you wake up in your path. We Will serve as a guide in the dark. That fear will take into the watch creatures give you. The waiting shadow creature--

To be noted, "Reloj" means clock or watch. Now, I may have fucked up the translation, as it's hard as hell to make out the writing with him swinging the camera around. Here's the best I could make out:

Obviously, it's a terrible composite of shots. If anyone can do better, PLEASE DO.

Thanks for the composite. I'm a native Spanish speaker, so I might be able to get a more effective translation... let's see:

"Duermen en sus sue�os. Se despierta a tu paso. Te serviran de guia en la oscuridad. Que te mantendra en los relojes cruitura -"

and that's as far as i feel comfortable transcribing- now for the translation:

"They sleep in his/her/its dreams. It/she/he wakes at your pace. They shall serve you as a guide in the darkness, which will keep you in the clocks, creature - " the rest is too distorted for me to attempt translation.

Jeremy uploaded the complete pages!
So, could you please translate the rest of the text! Wink

Hi, been lurking on this. A Google search on "Kizis Pasado" brought up this blog whose last entry mentions all those names in the journal: El Kizis Pasado, Sombra Criutura, and El Escribo. Haven't taken a close look at it but figured I'd point it out:
http://legendofroanoke.blogspot.com/

Great find! It explains exactly what the words mean. It doesn't mention the symbol. The one image on the site won't load for me.

It does mention the symbol if you read the rest of the blog posts: http://legendofroanoke.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-dare-stone.html

Quote:

This particular stone, merely has two words on it: El Kizis Pasado, with an image carved below. The image was that of an arrow circling around itself. Almost kind of reminds me of the refresh symbol on computers. But as I said above, for some reason he seems to hold this as a true Dare Stone. Not sure what drives that conviction, but he's never steered me wrong. I'll be looking into this name and symbol.

Image of arrow circling around itself = same symbol as that on the journal.

Yeah. I went back and read more after I posted that. It seems the "refresh" symbol means "Mute Preacher"

"In addition to these shades, there are the Mute Preachers. Interesting that they are referred to in English terms. They appear to be normal humans, however lack the ability to speak (as mute would imply). But they all seem to carry books with a symbol. This is that symbol I mentioned before that looks like a refresh sign on a web browser or a shuffle symbol in a music player. Kind of interesting seeing it everywhere. I'm sure that I've seen it elsewhere before. Something far older than technology. I'll research it more later. But I guess the point of these Mute Preachers was that they were used as recruiters. Recruiters for what is uncertain. Seems inconvenient having your messenger be unable to talk."

I think I've figured out what 15-89 is... it's actually 1589... that's the year the Roanoke Settlers disappeared.

He posted a new video...

Check out his side view mirror when the distortion kicks in.

Looks like a Sombra Criutura to me.

Anyone want to guide me through decoding this? I've never decoded anything.

I tried ROT13, ROT47, BASE64 and OCTAL8 (which was really dumb.. Very Happy

I'm on it, maybe some kind of caesar cipher? Hm, looks kinda complicated! Very Happy

EDIT:

Forget about Caesar cipher...got nothing! Confused

Do you have an application you run it through? It makes reference to Alexandr the Great and Augustus Caeser... pretty clear hints.

Yep, this one:

(it's in german...so)

but look above your post, I edited it, there is no result...Caesar isn't the right one.

the video
looking closer

i looked closer at the last video posted at the journal entries by James just in case any one was wondering like i was what it said
at 1:22 it says " New camera today I plan on returning it. Im done with videos."
at 1:24 it says "I don't remember writing anything in this journal I must have though

also i noticed in that email that was posted there are a lot of errors like capitalization and key's is possessive and capitalized when it should be just plural... maybe there is something to that to help find meaning in the text at the bottom? Just a thought Smile

Okay I got it. Solution:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Keyed Caesar cipher, no shift, key = ROMAN (as in the Roman Empire, the clues were Caesar, Augustus, Alexander the Great).

The message reads:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

scottpulnikwhisperkeyapartments1209wintergardenflorida
Sounds like a name and address: Scott Pulnik, Whisper Key Apartments #1209, Winter Garden, FL

BTW here is a great website to help solve ciphers: http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher
