Can anyone confirm that the "memorial" is actually real and there? Normally memorials of this type don't mention who the person being memorialized is related to. That just seems a bit out of the norm for me.

edit: confirmed the doctor and mrs are RL people. Still looking for son mentioned. I may have found his FB page, which was last updated in 2013, but no record of death. I am concluding, based on the evidence, that the memorial is OOG.


Could you please link us to a page showing the Dr and Mrs?

From post Mayday on Blogspot:
Drew wrote:
May 4th 2005 I blacked out while at the park. *snip* The date I woke up was May 4th, 2010...


Also, when I asked if he had kept any of those videos that had appeared on his computer he claimed to deleted them and asked if there was any way to get them back. I suggested checking his Recycle Bin but if any one more experience in file recovery has any suggestions, let him know I guess.


I sent him a link to a tutorial on how to recover any files that was deleted from his recycling bin. Hopefully that gets the files back.

I've just finished watching all the videos so far, and these are my conclusions.

The first video, "1 - Remember Drew" I believe does not have much significance, other than to explain the premises of what is happening. The second video "2 - May 04" is the one that interests me. I think they mentioned the location of the tower in this video, but I couldn't quite hear it. Could one of you please tell me where they said the tower was? Anyways, onto my analysis of the video.

The first thing I want to note is that at around 5:45 a woman says "Hi" to him. This may mean absolutely nothing, but maybe it will contribute to something later. Since after all, I thought it was odd that she would try to say anything to him since she obviously doesn't know him, and can see that he is busy recording whatever he's recording. As I said, this might mean absolutely nothing, but I wanted to consider every possibility.

At the memorial stone one of them mentions that the name "Landreneau" is German. When I look up the name on Google translate and set the language to "auto-detect" it detects the name as English. However, if I set the language to translate from German, it corrects the name and says that it is actually "Landerneau". This may be important.

And now onto the interesting part, when they actually get up to the tower. There are a lot of things written everywhere which I will briefly describe. There is an eye from the Legend of Zelda with several names on it, a triforce, some Korean writing, and the stamina thing. If you look closely, it appears that at 8:36 there is more Korean writing. It is completely unintelligible, but I assume it is Korean writing since it looks very similar to what we were told was Korean writing earlier at 8:20. I would like to know what the writing actually said so we could translate it. Here is a screenshot of both of the Korean writings.

There is also an odd symbol drawn, which I will leave an image of attached to this, and something that says "Want Some?". What could these mean?

My theory is that all the Legend of Zelda stuff is just a red herring. What we should be focusing on, is all the other stuff that wasn't mentioned as much. That is what we should be looking into.

And then of course there was the "Remember Andrew" carving and next to it "May 04". This interests me. We already know that a couple of significant things happened for him on a May 4th, such as him passing out in the park, and the day he woke up. Maybe this is what they were referring to when writing it? Another possibility is that another serious event will happen on May 4th this year. And then there is always a possibility that it was referring to something that happened in May of 2004.

So at the moment my questions are as followed:
1) What was the symbol shown at 8:23?
2) Does May 04 relate to a past or future event? Why?
3) What exactly does the Korean writing say?
4) Does the woman that said "Hi" to him have any significance?
5) Does the memorial being the name of a German person have any significance?

I also have one more closing thought. Maybe the carving "Remember Drew" is telling Drew to actually remember something. Which supports my theory that May 04 could relate to something that happened in May of 2004 that he needs to remember. It could also be telling him to remember something that happened between the dates of May 4th 2005 - May 4th 2010 (the times when he passed out at the park).

So as you see, we have a lot of information to look over. Any further information you guys have gathered would be appreciated. I am attaching all the screenshots I took of the symbols and stuff I mentioned in this reply.

Just my two cents, but does anyone else pick up some strange audio, some slight distortion in the video where they go to the tower. Anyone else? Or am I just imagining it, or it might just be the wind. (its when they are in the tower)

Yeah, you're right. When they are walking up the stairs there is some audio distortion. At first it's just the wind, but after a bit it actually sounds like very subtle distortion. Good ear. Although I hope this doesn't indicate that this will be another slenderman ARG. After all, that would explain why there is a German name on the memorial.

Going to mess around with it on Audacity, hopefully there is something there. Can someone else have a look at this as well, I don't want to get stuck on something because I don't notice it.

Sure, I'll take a look too. I'll also download all the videos he's uploaded so far so I can them in my computer for whenever they may be needed.

Update:
Just noticed that I heard the same type of distortion when they first get on the bridge, if you listen closely enough through the wind you can hear it. It's also occurred to me that the only time we are really hearing any distortion is when it is windy. Maybe we are just over thinking this, and the distortion is just some the wind has caused.

Another quick theory I would like to point out. He mentions on his blog that he blacked out in the park in 2005, and then woke up in 2010. I don't know if I'm missing something here, but it is obviously impossible to just fall asleep somewhere for five years, without starving to death. So my theory is that maybe he wasn't asleep all that time. I think that when he fainted, he was kidnapped by someone for those five years, and he just assumed he was asleep for those five years since he can't remember any of it. This person who kidnapped him now wants him to remember what happened for some reason, which explains the "Remember Drew" carving. But why would his kidnapper want him to remember? Or maybe it's someone else who is against the kidnapper who wants him to remember? Just some food for thought.

Edit:
Another thing to add to this theory. He claims that only his therapist, George, and his family knew about the entire incident. Maybe one of them are responsible for his kidnapping? Or maybe they are just a red herring as well. Possibly the kidnapper, assuming this theory is correct, has a connection with one of them. Either way, I'd like to get in contact with either his therapist, George, or his family.

One last question. Does anyone know where they are in the second video when they are all eating pizza? Or the location of the tower?

Yeah, it's best we just ignore the distortion for now, unless it ever becomes 100% obvious that the static is relevant. I've tried messaging Drew a few days ago, because I had a few questions that could give us some more leads. However, he hasn't responded, and it looks like he hasn't been active online for quite a while too. Is he just being lazy, or is there a reason. Perhaps he will be posting another video on May 4th.
