I just posted this on the FFAC at ontdcreepy, but would love some feedback from you guys too.



OKAY YOU GUYS

YOU GUYS

I NEED SOME EARS HERE

Okay so some of you may or may not remember that my sister and I did the One-Man Hide and Seek ritual...quite some time ago. Last year, actually. And at the time what we thought happened was - the air conditioning broke the salt lines we were using to block off parents' room (since they were asleep and had no idea we were doing it) and we got a bit of a startle from that but nothing actually happened as we only got ten minutes into it.

Recently since we have some unintentionally creepy home movies I've caught just by filming around the house, we decided to see if we could half-assedly throw together a 'found footage' type film. We were doing pretty well on that this summer but ended up not finishing it because I was exhausted from work, but were just today thinking about finishing it up, and I realized I could use this old clip as like, a 'turning point' in the movie since you never actually see on film that what we were freaking about was just the AC blowing the salt around.

So we re-watched it...and I turned up the sound to see if the salt was audible...and there's something there that neither of us heard or remember being there before. I'd love it if you guys could listen for me and see if you're also hearing it/if you think it could be from the TV maybe (it doesn't seem like it to us)?

Here's the video. It's a laugh, at around 7:50 (you might want to skip there since most of the video is just the TV)



(The ridiculously loud pounding sound is me typing, I abuse my keyboard)

The only thing I can think of is it being ambient noise behind the guy talking on the show - I'm going to try and hunt down that episode of DDD to see if that could be it - but it doesn't seem to have the same quality as the other sounds from the TV.

I'm strongly considering trying the One-Man Hide and Seek ritual/game. I'm thinking Monday night? I can make a really simple doll for it, and have rice to stuff it with, since I already had some for sewing. I am pretty sure I have red thread, but I'll have to check. I want to use my computer and camera to record sounds, etc.

Things I need...a hiding place. Maybe I'll use the upstairs bathroom, and place the doll in the downstairs bathroom? But that could lead to problems if/when mom or dad get up in the middle of the night; I would rather quarantine the upstairs with salt at the top of the stairs and keep it up there. I think a better idea would be to involve Paige and to use her room as the hiding place, since despite the activity in it, it doesn't have the same heavy presence that mine does. Also, I should probably get some natural salt (seasalt?)

The one thing I am concerned about is that the ritual seems to indicate that the hide-and-seek game you're 'playing' involves stabbing rather than tagging. Since, you know, you make the doll 'it' by stabbing it. I'm wondering if it would work with tagging instead, since I've never purified a room before and am rather worried about, uh, the potential results...

I'll also have to quarantine Derek's room somehow...or maybe I should just ask him to participate in the ritual with us.

Anyways, I would really like to have both a camera recording in the bathroom, and one in the room with us; but dad's camera is very unreliable...so I'll have to settle for just mine, I think.
