I've never seen demolition signs like that before; however, they are all different. At a campground I went to people just took tape, wrote "I'm dead" on the tape, and taped it around the tree. So, maybe the people marking them are a bit creative? I don't know. I'll listen to the videos now.


Edit 1:
At request, I looked at video 2, and I've heard those kinds of pops before. In one of my recordings, to be more specific; though I believe it is now deleted. But it, too, was a recording of the forest.

Edit 2:
On his 4th video I asked why he was filming in the rain, to which he responded:
"No particular reason, That's just how the weather ended up to be when I decided to film."

So I don't think rain in video 4 has any significance at all.

Edit 3:
Something about video 1 strikes me as odd. I've always focused on the tent, but now I'm looking for something more.

Edit 4:
It's the tree, it's dead, ugly and uncolorful, while every tree around it is green and full of life. I wonder why they didn't cut it down. I think the shape of the tree itself has something to do with it, too, but I can't place it.

Edit 5:
And this.

Also, the pictures in the second video, that flash, are considerably older.



It's notable that is flashes twice, and after 5 tries I managed to pause it on the second flash; it appears to be identical to the first one. (see: housecompare2)

The water hole looks exactly the same in both shots (Edit: as does the trees and the rest of the vegitarion). I'm thinking it's more of a disturbance in the force ala Slendy then two different eras.

hey sorry for double post i just seen this image...

OOG can someone message me and tell me how to do a double quote on here? cheers

anyways i had noticed the light but i thought it was just a normal light that you have on the side of your house, but when you posted that image it got me wondering why the light would be on in the middle of the day? perhaps it was left on as a mistake but im glad you pointed it out also.

thanks for doing the screen shot of when the image flashes purple. i cant quite grasp why it does that yet and in the comments section he says something along the lines of he cant remember this house OR the clearing..

makes me wonder if and yes going back to the hidden village theory what if when the camera goes funny and we get the purple shot its like us seeing a flashback to the past?

Yeah, I was going to mention this. 2 happened to be the first one I watched today. There's gotta be some significance to this... the description says he doesn't remember the clearing or the house, and yet a supposedly older picture shows they were there, at least then. Unreliable narrator? Memory problems?

In video 6, the branches on the left branch have been cut off.

NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not more slendy *head explodes.. but really tho, i also didnt see a difference but its strange why it does that, i was thinking if it was slendy that wouldnt the other videos be interfered with also? thats the only video ive noticed a disturbance on? (i might need to go back and look at them again to see if i missed any obvious disturbances)

Yeah, the light is a little thing, most people would assume it was turned on in error upon viewing the video; however, I pointed it out because of the description:
"It was always here and, Always like this;
You know, Just small things that seem out of place."

I asked him on video #8 how high he got
"This video was taken looking down at the location that appeared in a couple other videos; So relatively speaking, Higher than the trees."

Also, this is what I mentioned about video 6


I promised my friend that if she circled some things I'd upload it (See: whatamess), the bottom right is apparently writing, everything else is faces she sees.

Sorry for the double post, but I feel this is really important. So important I want people to click the thread sooner because it says new post.

In video 2, it says "I don't remember this clearing here,
At least not with that house there."

We've always been looking at the building, thinking that's what he means.
But go to the comments.
"The trees are the home of many, I could very well be intruding."

My thinking is he's not focusing on the house; rather, a nest or another home of animals.

Edit 1:
I recorded the audio from all the videos, in order, from 1-8, with ~5 second spaces between each for easy distinguishing.

thanks for that im going to dl this and see if i cant mess with a wave editor and see where i get with that! my mission for today ! in that last picture you uploaded with all the circles, to be fair i actually DO see some of those faces circled but i dont see the writing but i will be rewatching the vids again this morning or afternoon but porbably both lol

i was also wondering in the images you posted with the house and the clearing, what if its not the house directly in the middle we should be looking at? it might just be me but if you look on the right (my right) hand side of the picture it looks like the trees form some kind of gateway squarish in shape. maybe thats what we should be looking at and not directly at the house but rather hes showing us there is a gateway, the one on the right (its squarish looking reminds me of the ones you see in front of olden day japanese houses or dojos)


thanks for your twitter message about the quotes also, i got it this morning (scottish time difference 8am here) and i replyed, i am still looking to learn how to do it thanks x

In video 2 at about 8-9 seconds he shifts focus to two small white objects to the right of the house that look like windmills. To the right of these I think I see something ducking behind a bush but I'm not sure.

In the comments he says his camera is taking photos at the same time, would the camera flash explain the sudden lighting changes.

Given that the videos are named after an extinct bug, are we looking for something else that should be extinct?

At this stage i am not sure what I am seeing anymore, although the tree in video 1 does look like Freddy Kreugers glove from the angle at the end of the video.

Looked through them all again to look for any common characteristics, and heres what I found:

Up until the last video, all of them are films of dead treas. (Which is incidentally something the trees have in common with the xyloiulus.)



And on a sidenote, from Wikipedia:
Quote:
The adjective apocryphal is commonly used in modern English to refer to any text or story considered to be of dubious veracity or authority, although it may contain some moral truth. In this broader metaphorical sense, the word suggests a claim that is in the nature of folklore, factoid or urban legend.
