 		[E-MAIL/PUZZLE] From JC 9-1-04 "Joy oh heavenly neighbo

Subject: Joy oh heavenly neighbor. Time reveals eternity\'s vast agenda. Nothing is obvious now.

Friend:

Better now than later, I think. The days are fleeting, as powder in the wind, so I suggest we move now. We can only hope, after all we've uncovered, our fates are not yet sealed. The hour, day, who is to be included and so on are unknown.

I must, no should, treat you no differently, I realize, so I hesitate to write more. Suspect everyone; if fear can save us, I cling to it.

I have secrets yet to share, if words of truth are what you seek. The time is now, and I grow desperate.

 		I also got this email, but it appears that a lot of people in #uh didn't. Are there others that did, or did me and Satanis7 do something in particular that prompted this?

 		OK, at least a partial solve. There is a hidden message in the text (surprise!)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

owler discovered that if you take the first letter from each word in the subject and you get "john trevanion". I Googled for this name, which reveals an encryption method called "concealment cipher". Take the third letter after each punctuation mark in the body of the message, and you get:

"The picture you see is flawed"

Greetings,

I do seek what truth may be found.

I have seen parts of the puzzle, and now I desire to see the picture in its entirety.

What can you show me?

Where should I look?

 		i've been lurking for a couple of weeks, so pardon my newbie-ness.

Good solve btw, I had discovered the name and was in the process of googling when I was beaten to it Smile

anyway, sorry if this has been mentioned before, but the first couple of picture links on the dread house page that did not work before are working now, as are the documents, although we've seen the documents already. could he be referring to one of these pictures?

 		I think this is where the solve meant to take us:

Remember the old sites where jc had "proof", but they were listed as being removed because of threats? Now they lead somewhere:

 		Well MaxPower, looks like you returned the favor by beating me to the punch! Yes, they are new, and yes, I think this is what jc was referring to...

 		I had actually noticed this before the e-mail was sent, but was still searching to see if this had been discovered yet. One curious thing about the picture on http://www.dreadhouse.com/document3.html is that it looks like there is some really faint type in the background of the picture. I tried messing around with the image a bit, but I am not adept enough to make it any clearer.

 		In pictures 8, 9 and 10, it definitely looks like the assailant has a hand, which in turns suggests a human attacked the contestant.

It does not mean this guy was not messed up due to ultrasound, etc though.

Although this continues to open up more questions then answers...

 		Radial Blurs in posted shots
All the still captures from the video posted to the DH seem to have a radial blur effect when contrast is adjusted. See example of picture 8 contrasted below. Would anyone know why?

 		Some of the videos on Dream Projector - notably that of William S - have a similar "fisheye" effect.
