Annnd Tom has an update on the blog, titled "IT":

Quote:
Hi guys!
I thought that it was time we tried to figure out exactly what we are up against.
The only real information we have beyond what's been going on is the books we were given, and they were not very descriptive.
As far as I understand from Marcusson's comments, this thing is supposedly a specific aspect of a set of beings, along the lines of divine avatars in Huindu mythology. This reasoning is in line with some of the creatures referenced, such as the Naga. It seems plausible that something like what we are dealing with was once confused and interpreted as a creature of the wet underworld. The water and the tunnels seem to have been a prerequisite for summoning it.
Because while the Naga seem to sometimes have had benevolent intentions, the thing we're dealing with clearly has little in the way of sympathy for people.
As for the idea of the Cyhyraeth, its scream could supposedly be heard before someone died. It therefore wasn't seen as a danger in and of itself, but rather as an omen. Here too, it is easy to imagine someone coming up with the myth following an encounter with this thing. After all, we have seen nothing of it directly, but rather just the thing acting through people.
At least none of us have heard screaming yet, but that doesn't comfort much.


*scratches chin* Interesting, verrry interesting.

@T-Belle: IMPRESSIVE FIND! Cool

EDIT:

@argatha: I suspect it to be the first option. I think she went there and took the bowl but does not remember it, like you said (blacked out, as it were). I suspect this because Graham claimed to have woken up in the culverts a few times while under the influence of the crazyraeth himself.

EDIT 2:

@Amelić: I really liked the video -- the one with Victoria rushing after April. I was impressed with April's blank expression. I'm liking the actress for her.

@Everyone: New video on the archive called "THE DAY AFTER".

I agree, I think she's been there on her own, maybe under the influence. She probably has the pink dummy aswell. (Why on earth do you call it a "dummy"? Smile)

Edit: Also, judging from Grahams blog he is stuck in the culverts and have not been out for a long time (or at least in something equally dark and wet, could be his mind). He also seems rather unable to communicate clearly.
Thus, when Tom is suddenly contacted by Graham via email and he wants to meet, that makes me suspicious. I think Tom might be set up.

I suspect it's because it's another word for fake and it's a fake nipple.

Also, could it be that Graham has been trapped inside a tree this whole time? That would tie into the latest video in which they draw out the fact that "it wants out." Plus it'd explain April's "poor tree" comment (she could be sympathising with her possessed half) and Graham's latest picture.

Not to mention that we have actually seen Graham on film (the guy in black) and that was in the forest, and he was likely the sound that interrupted their ramble in the earlier video.

Does that mean the shadow in the culvert could possibly be the pure demon spirit of the Crazyraeth? (thanks S.P.I., I much prefer this spelling because I can actually remember it!)

Or maybe he really is just trapped in the culvert. I should really read through those book scans!

After weeks of inactivity @HKNGT has finally reawakened and posted a new tweet:

Quote:
xəˠɾaˈ


which could be a phonetic translation of the irish word cara (sometimes 'chara'), which means 'friend'.

So Graham possibly wants to identify himself as a friend now?

"im waiiitng"

Hi guys.
Graham has made it pretty clear again that he wants to meet. His exact phrasing was: "im waiiitng"
I don't know what to make of that, as he didn't actually tell me where he was waiting.
April's getting worse again, so this whole thing is starting to hurry! I wish he would just be straightforward for once.

As amandel pointed out, those sticks in Graham's "woods" picture sure are interesting. Looks like this shape to me:



Three more sticks and we have a pentagram. Shocked

Since possessed April has had time to grab some souvenirs from the culverts, could this be something she did, too?

I went back through the "walk in the woods" videos, but couldn't see anything that looked like the place in the photo, exactly. If it is somewhere April has been going, maybe the location for the Graham meeting is on April's laptop somewhere?

Graham's "16th August": Since it's the last date in the diaries, I guess that all the following scrawlings could be considered part of that entry. He certainly brought our attention to "It cAnnoT Be doNe." The very next part is "It is Absolute." The question is what's supposed to be important there and what's just crazy rambling. There does seem to be a page ripped out at the end. . .

amandel, you're brilliant even when you're tired!

And oli gets cred for the pw even though we didn't know what to do with it 'til now:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PW is "Portree"


And there we find:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(highlight to find the hidden text on the page)
Jacob, I've been following up on the creature you're thinking of communicating with, and I'm a little worried. First of all is the fact that this thing is so incredibly old. If what you are saying is true, it was worshipped as far back as the earliest civilizations! I do not feel well about summoning a spirit from a group that is several hundred times older than I am.
What's more, there is the matter that there are a hundred different aspects of this thing! You refer to it as a Cyhyraeth, but that is one of the less benevolent variants. At the same time, it is not the worst one. So how do we know what we're getting out of this?
Especially considering what is being put on the line.
It seems to be strong, even physically, so the very least we can do is take the necessary precautions by binding it to the place. This is always your decision, but I hope you listen this one time.
M

That phonetic spelling is exactly the reverse of the phonetic spelling of "earrach". See here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/earrach

So maybe "earrach" or "spring" backwards is a password for something? Or another page at wastewatersouth?

Tom's just uploaded (onto archive215.com) the video of his meeting with Graham - scary stuff! Can anyone make out what's written on the thing at the end?

EDIT: a comment from Tom on his blog: "Everything happened so fast, Graham started choking me and ran away. He left a letter behind, I'm going to scan it now. It looks like an old message from Marcusson to him."

I know! and no i cant, the video cuts out before its fully open.

"You have to bind it" is what he says... some kind of binding spell?

edit: did graham wind Tom or did he breath bad mojo into him! D: dun dun dun

Maybe it is Amelić whispering in my ear, but I suspect that Tom wanted this to happen -- that he is excited by it -- I mean, it took him a rather long time to bother being worried.

As a result of that suspicion, I say, GO GRAHAM! Strangle that dude -- what? Why is everyone looking at me like that? Oh all right...no cheering on the weirdos.

Wink

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(reads the letter on the blog) oh no poor Graham! Human sacrifice for hire!
