Well I believe this is my very first post. I have been stewing over this for several hours and I figured the first and best place to get this matter resolved was here.
I stumbled across this website and after reading it I believe it to be a fake website, only because it is written like a narrative and sounds like a good story. I however do not know whether it is true or false for certain. So I am asking for other people’s opinions. If anyone knows for certain whether it is true or false please inform me.
Is this true or false?
Believe it, or not.
If you’re purely asking for opinions, and not debating one of The Great Questions of Our Time, it should be posted in the IMHO forum. I’ll move it there for you.
Might be a halfway decent story, were it not entirely derivative–and fairly poorly derived at that. C+.
Bland and unintersting HTML coding with several broken and/or nonintuitive links. C-.
Of course no one can disprove it; there are far too few details to verify or dismiss out of hand. And it is for that same reason, lack of verifiable detail, that this is easily dismissed as crap. And week-old crap at that.
I don’t get it. That has to be the crappiest coding I’ve ever seen! 2 links per page? How irritating is that? And what am I looking at? A cave, people in a cave, a dog in a cave.
I thought this was interesting and I wanted to get some feedback on the site.
If you don’t have time for it then why did you bother posting a response?
Meatros, sometimes–ah heck, often–feedback here is blunt to the point of rudeness. On the down side, it can be rough on the ego; on the UP side, there’s a certain bracing honesty–and a wide variety of voices/opinions to be heard. Hang in there. Do some thread-reading and you’ll figure out “the streets” in no time.
The scariest part was at the end, when you could see the guy, standing in the corner…
I read it, and I did enjoy it. No, it wasn’t an Agatha Christie mystery novel, but I was interested in seeing where he was going with it. I thought the prose was fine for what it was purported to be- a journal. No, he blew it at the end, shot all his credibility, by having the “Next” link link back to the same page. If he was truly coming back to finish tomorow, he wouldn’t have put a link to anything- he would have added the link when he wrote the next page. Bzzzz! You lose! Thank you for playing. Don, tell him about the years supply of Rice-a-Roni™ he’s won.
I liked it. I had nevr really thought about caving and losing your light source. That part freaked me out.
The heiroglyphics part was kind of a lame touch but Hell, “Geralds Game” still gives me the creeps.
Maybe if he had heard voices while he was exiting the crawl space, beckoning him back…
Yes, I am a newby TV. I understand and agree with your point.
I agree with you wierddave, there’s a lot of things on the website that blow his credibility. One of the things I noticed is the lame heiroglyphic that absoul noticed spells Hi when turned on it’s side.
I also think the foreshadowing wouldn’t be there if the guy was actaully writing a journal. He says in the begining that the grey were actual excerpts from his original journal.
On the other hand I would love this to turn out to be true, but I say the samething about santa claus and the easter bunny.
I am still interested if anyone knows more about this site than what is on it.
I looked at the photos, but I barely glanced at the text. Maybe there’s something in there that explains how he took such brilliantly lit photos in a cave.
It was interesting, as believable as The Blair Witch Project, but none the less interesting. Does anyone else find it too hard to believe that, through a fist sized hole in the cave wall, with a mini mag light, they were able to determine that after the 12-15 feet of relative roominess the cave narrowed? Beyond 4-6 feet it’s hard to see anything with a flash light. Or with a glow stick he could see “several feet” into the hole that suddenly appeared? It was a nice ghost story, and the part about seeing things in the house and buying a gun was a nice touch. I give it two stars out of five.
