She describes how researchers can track small birds with light-level geolocators – tiny devices that can be attached to the backs of songbirds. Barely anyone watched it until this weekend.In the next segment, we meet Anna Buckardt-Thomas, a research assistant at the University of Maine who is looking for banded Golden-winged Warblers in a boggy woodland in northern Wisconsin. The earliest comes from YouTuber aetbx - this is the only video on his account, and it was uploaded in May. Plus, although it appears he was the first news outlet to receive a copy of the video, there are two other YouTubers who uploaded copies earlier this year. Others have suggested that someone is playing a trick on Krachbichler personally, perhaps one of his friends. 'My first response, after I realised it was a puzzle, was that it's probably some sort of joke,' Krahbichler told us.' He 'got a bit scared' after some of the more disturbing parts of the video were decoded, he said, but now, 'I'm starting to think again it's just an elaborate joke.' Or at least as an attempt to make creepypasta - the fictional images and stories that circle the web because of their intriguing ability to horrify.

The idea of a coded video containing a bountiful salad full of disturbing images and ideas has some assuming that the whole thing was created as a joke. The DVD menu also produced additional clues, including an entirely different spectrogram of a skull and coded messages, including what appear to be wingdings. There are other decoded clues, too, including the coordinates to the White House, and a message that apparently reads 'RED LIPSLIFE TENTH'. 'I didn't really try that hard to solve it, but I had no luck either way.' That's when I realised it's some sort of puzzle,' he said in the email. I later re-examined it and started noticing the 'codes' and letters hidden all around the video. 'I was unsure what to think of it, but I found it very odd. 'I thought it was someone who wanted me to try out their software,' he said. Krahbichler doesn't remember exactly when he received the CD containing the video, he said, because he ignored it at first. The frequency visualisations contained a written message, 'YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD.'Īlthough the clarity varies between spectrogram-generating software, one spectrogram produced by Reddit user M4nic_H3dgehog contains detailed, and very, very graphic images of what appear to be one or multiple women being tortured. Someone immediately created a spectrogram of the audio, which helped to deepen the mystery even more.

'This Creepy Puzzle Arrived In Our Mail', the headline reads. The mystery took off last week - just in time for Halloween - when Johny Krahbichler of Gadgetzz blogged about it after receiving a CD containing the video. Internet sleuths have found earlier versions of the video available online on YouTube and 4Chan as early as May, but they went largely ignored at the time. The edits are short and jumpy, and the whole thing plays out with a grating, noisy soundtrack. The video features a single figure, covered in a dark cloak and a death mask, who gestures to several different visual codes. A shaky video shot in front of a gloomy, windowed brick wall and filled with coded messages has become an object of fascination in certain corners of the internet, as Redditors and tech writers rush to try and figure out what it means - and why it even exists in the first place.
