      Coyotes sound *incredibly* human. When I was vacationing in Northern B.C, I heard what sounded like a hyper woman laughing right outside of my cabin. Scared the crap out of me because I then heard scratching at the door and that laughter at the same time. Took me a lot of courage to look out of the window to see this scrappy, but surprisingly big coyote trying to get into my temporary home, probably because it smelled what I was cooking. I was only staying for one night anyway so I wasn't too freaked out, and the guy who rented the cabin to me had a laugh when I told him about it because the coyote's apparently a reoccurring visitor that regularly spooks people, but still shows signs of being scared of humans, so it's no big threat.
      Goes to show that sometimes the 'supernatural' is actually quite down to earth, or even more mundane than you thought, lol!

Scary little thing actually followed me all the way out of the alley, and for a couple of blocks before giving up, it was that insistent on making sure I wasn't going to go anywhere near where it was camping (or maybe had babies). Can't imagine how nervous I'd be if it was a coyote or, as you say, a squatter.

In the occult, the hand of a corpse, usually from a hanged man, was a powerful artifact for curses, divination and unlocking doors with no key. Easily translatable to opening a portal or gateway.

      Hand of Glory, yeah- also (supposedly) popular with burglars for keeping the residents of a house asleep (or at least immobile) while the burglar sneaks through the house taking items. It was probably just one made of wax, as they began becoming popular at New Age shops in the 1970s, and now easily found and purchasable in many other stores- most people not knowing the rather morbid nature of the originals.

    Thank you NM for being so sensible about the locations. As someone who grew up in areas with a large number of buildings in extreme disrepair, never assume they are unmonitored. We had several barns and shacks at the far end of our property that hadn’t been used since my grandfather bought the land in the early 50’s. Because of this, we knew when cars and people shouldn’t be there. Also as a landowner you don’t know if strangers have good or bad intentions and so we responded with drawn weapons.

    Another thing you can notice is that the latest videos have old format but are clearly recent, what if the last video from 2016 is also recent with the entity capturing the girl who owns the JT channel and disguising the video as "old"? (proof of that might be that the last video from 2016 has a tag that says "ask forgiveness" and "repent").
    One more thing, inside the the house in the video "Nighttime Return" there's a Happy Birthday balloon, and the packages you found on your field investigation all had Birthday related stuff, does that mean something? (perhaps the birth of the entity into our world?)

    Just so you know, they make compact VHS to regular VHS adapters so you can play the tapes on a regular VCR. If you often use the VHS-C tapes, it might be something to look into getting. They shouldn't be too expensive these days but they were never that common either.

    Crazy to randomly stumble across an ARG so close to my hometown! Heck, my mom still lives in Georgetown, I wonder how easily I could find these places if I was to look around town

    Very intrigued by the Leviathan curse.. I’ve suffered with back problems, mystery pain, and other various illnesses for years and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years back. Fun to see parallels from a favorite ARG to my personal life.

    the fact that jack torrance is active and around my area is terrifying. i live in a town outside of austin, so hearing and seeing all of this, along with all the other crazy stuff that happens around here, is wild. i'm honestly kinda terrified seeing all of this happen just a short car ride away from where i live lol. as of writing this comment, jack torrance's channel was last active around 3 months ago with more crazy content. i will keep my eyes and ears open around the area and channel for further crazy news. remember everyone, be strong. be safe. be free. do not let the creature try to infect you too.
