Our crew recently investigated a supposedly haunted church in a small rural town (some of the residents there requested we not reveal the name of the town). There was little history that the residents could tell us of said church other than that the property owner has been a corporation for atleast 30 years and the company hasn't developed the land despite potential coal deposits. There were the standard stories of children missing, strange lights and sounds, odd looking fella's coming and going. This seemed typical of many haunted churches so we decided to investigate further. The first oddity we noticed was the lack of an actual path to the church, it was literally situated in the middle of nowhere. The building was oval in shape and was constructed entirely of red brick with a slate roof, this means it was either constructed in the 20th century or was renovated in the 20th centry. The next oddity was the placement of the windows which contained no glass just openings. The gold mine though was the well. Aside from the oddity that it was located indoors, it was just a hand dug well similar to those from colonial times. We spent a good 6 hours there and observed nothing paranormal. But one of my crew accidently knocked one of the stones making up the outside of the well, into it. What we thought was peculiar was the lack of splash or thunk of the rock hitting bottom. We attached our camera to some rope we had and lowered it into the well. We lowered it the full 1500 feet the rope (six 250ft lengths actually) would go and it didn't hit bottom. In case you didn't pick up on it the well was apparently hand dung and it seems unlikely that a human dug a well by hand over 1000 feet. Upon reviewing the footage the face of the well became smooth after about 40 feet, but more importanly there was some sort of pictograph script written on the walls. After about 80 feet the all video input ceased though audio continued. The audio we recorded was extremely similar to the one recorded from a russian oil well years ago Listen

Our suspicions: Its remote location is to keep prying eyes away and to avoid light pollution, the windows are arranged to allow certain celestial bodies to be observed from inside, the company (which is excedingly difficult to track down) has purposefully maintained rights to the land, the building is recentenly consructed. Does anyone have any information that may shed light upon this? I fear that this is far more sinistar than we initally suspected. Our return investigation is slated closer to the winter solstice.

Ok if your suspicions are even half right I would not be there on the winter solstiice at least not without backup and I'm talking about a team of individuals with experiance dealing with things that are outside the norm and nasty, and even then I'm not sure.

The drawback of holding your cards close to the vest is it makes it real hard for the Society to bail out your ass when things go south.

Have you got them translated, or even transcribed?

I was beginning to wonder if the site was shut down by the mysterious corporate property owners of this location. We're are currently tracking down other properties owned by this company as thats is the only lead we really have. This isn't the only sleepy town they own property in, they own various sized tracts of lands in dozens of places across the United States mostly clusted in the eastern US up and down the Appalacian mountians. So we're going to follow up on those. We have a cryptographer working on the script in the well but its only been a few days so nothing from that.

Now you can hate yourself in the morning. Been hitting the vanilla extract, have we, Mr. Caliburn?

Now wait a minute. If the supernatural exists why can't aliens? Extra Terrestrial, Extra Dimensional or otherwise.


Of course thinking they were responsible for the outage makes me wonder if you haven't been dipping into Grandpa's Old Cough Syrup.

Interesting.

Didn't someone here a long time ago say they kept a shottie next to their computer in case a bug came out?

Yeah, that was Ron.

Ok, why does that not surprise me in the least?

It is at this point that I would like to hear something from one of the indivduals who claimed to work for the Lazlo Society directly and have them explain if it was just a bug in the system or a "BUG" in the system.
