[TRAILHEAD] One Bad Dream See, that's why I don't like Windows Seven. Disclaimer: I won't be able to watch the videos until tomorrow, but when I do, I'll update you guys on what I know.
The person who sent this to me was really brief, and I've only been able to watch the first video. However, from what I've gathered, the man who runs the channel, a guy by the name of Rob, has recently gotten a new computer. And, strangely, there's already a video file saved to the hard drive when he first boots it up. The video consists of subtly creepy, minorly distorted shots of different areas of his house, and one shot of a street.
Where a tall, suited man stands watching.
Okay, I promise I'll stop using that cliche every time I do a thread for a new trailhead. Anyway, the youtube is here , and MyDarkJournel is subscribed to him, so you know it's legit. There's also a Twitter, found here , though not much has been posted there as of yet.
Happy Hunting, Rabbits.

I was actually going to post this today, but it looks like you beat me to it! This is a pretty good channel, it's also pretty convincing. The story also gets better as it goes along as well starting around episode 4 and up and actually is unnerving. I think that it's safe to say that this one has a lot of promise.

So, as of vid 2 we have the last survivor of a fire that broke out on a boy scout camping trip. There had been another survivor but they died two months before the video was made. Pretty sure we'll be hearing more about them.

1) It jumps into the heavy duty distortions right away, something I don't really care for.
2) He figures out right away that the distortions aren't just some sort of camera malfunction. Of course, what with clips of unrelated scenes showing up in the middle of the footage, it's obvious that it can't be a malfunction, but that sort of thing could have been left for later.
3) The incomprehensible voices which sometimes accompany the distortions are a nice and creepy.

Almost caught up, in the middle of video 11. Was that Slenderman out his window at about 2:25?
He says "Nothing to see here." and pans right past it .

Sudden burst of what appears to be base 64 code on their twitter. Attempting to translate.
Edit: In the order posted:
YOUAREGETTINGCOLD
The rest are multiple repetitions of the same phrase. The last repetition posted cuts off in the middle, not sure if that was intended.
YOUAREGETTINGCO
Edit: Followed up a few minutes ago with an "OMG our twitter got hacked"* post
*Not a direct quote.
Filled them in on the coded message.

And now a new video . Haven't watched yet, I was distracted by their description of the video (and an update to another series).
A meeting with Rain, Squirly, and Da01101100 01110100 01101111 01101110 00110001 00110010 00110011 00110011 00110010 00110100 00110100 00110100
The binary translates to "lton12332444" Can anyone make something of the numbers trailing Dalton's name?
Edit: Almost through with the video now. Will try to post a screen cap of 6:53 in a bit. It reads in part "It appears Dalt34" then lapses into gibberish. Then it goes on into something reminiscent of totheARK or Xakk. Interesting look to their new antagonist. Anyone make out the words that appear to be in the upper right corner of that second snapshot I posted?

And in a recent development Zalgo just ate their twitter account.

New video "Alive " posted by who or whatever posted on their twitter. Anyone able to get anything from those numbers flashed on the screen? Ends with the phrase "He comes". I seem to recall really early Slenderman material implying a connection between Slendy and Zalgo, seems they've decided to play that up.

I'm having some issues decoding the hex in the last video - a few characters are almost impossible to identify, even with the brightness/contrast tweaked.
Here's what I've got so far:
46 72 69 65 6e 64
73 64 61 6e 67 65 72
77 68 6f 20 6e 65 78 74
6a 61 79
77 68 65 72 65
79 6f 75 62 65 74 74 65 72 37 61 74 65 65 74 68 65 70 61 72 74 61 6o 73

I'm going to see if I can tweak this a bit.

Still working on it. If anyone wants I can post the images I'm using as a reference. (There's several of them, so I didn't want to flood the thread with distorted images if nobody else was using them.)

The images could be helpful. Maybe someone else here has better eyes.

It just occurred to me, given the Zalgo involvement the garbage characters found in the hex could BE garbage characters. The hex version of Zalgoed text. But I'll see if I can get anything clearer.
In twitter feed news, they profess to not be aware of Zalgo. Is there anything edifying that I can link them to that doesn't present Zalgo as fictional?

Here's my reading of the numbers. Among other issues I'm not sure if the next to last number is 60, 6c, or 50.
Numbers 1
46 72 69 65 6e 64 73
Numbers 2
64 61 6e 67 65 72
Numbers 3
77 68 6f 20 6e 65 78 74
Numbers 4
6a 61 79
Numbers 5
77 68 65 72 65
Numbers 6
59 6f 75 62 65 54 74 65 73 77 61 74 63 68 74 68 65 70 6f 72 74 61 60 74

Edit: So it's only Numbers 6 where we're getting garbage text and that's because it's hard to read the numbers. Going to see if changing 60 to 6c or 50 get that ending to make more sense. Judging from Yoube I think changing that first number to a 59 may have helped. I'm also reminded of the binary on one video that translated to finish Dalton's name but was still followed with as yet unexplained (except by Zalgo) junk text.
Edit 2: Changing Numbers 6 so it read
59 6f 75 62 65 54 74 65 73 77 61 74 63 68 74 68 65 70 6f 72 74 61 6c 74
got me
Quote:
YoubeTteswatchtheportal t
Wonder if that t on the end is junk text or if the 74 is slightly off, but the part that now reads watchtheportal makes sense in context.
Edit 3: Ah ha! 59 6f 75 62 65 54 74 65 73 77 61 74 63 68 74 68 65 70 6f 72 74 61 6c 73

Editing the last bit with a couple of characters I'm fairly sure I had right before, judging by the translation:
59 6f 75 62 65 74 74 65 72 77 61 74 63 68 74 68 65 70 6f 72 74 61 6c 73

Youbet ter watchtheportals
EDIT: I guess our next question is, what portals? I don't recall anything right off the bat that even referred to "portals" before now.
