Another email from Marcusson

Hi guys!

I received an email from Marcusson. It seems that he’s somehow suddenly willing to help, which at the very least brings us closer to Graham. At last. He indicated he was going to give me something, but then he went completely silent.

Of course, that’s not entirely true, as he literally sent me some sound. If it’s Marcusson in the clip, he’s addressing Graham, but I don’t know what to make of it. You guys have proven yourselves pretty good with this sort of thing, though. So here it is. I am hoping you can help me finally find Graham.  He has a lot to answer for.

Marcusson's email

Hi guys!

It didn’t take long for you guys to find Marcusson’s email address, that’s for sure! And it didn’t take him long to tell me how he felt about it. I kept insisting, however, and in the end he said that he wanted to help, but couldn’t. He seems to both acknowledge he knows a lot about Graham, and deny he knows anything at all.

However, this morning I received something from him. I replied, but haven’t heard anything else since.

Finding Marcusson

Hi guys!

I would have been comfortable with waiting for Graham to make himself known, but now that he’s started messing with our archive and stalking the girls, I think we need to find him as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the only trace we have is the fact that he at some point worked for DevDor Waste. Wastewater South (as it is now known) owns the culvert, but I have been unable to find any other activity whatsoever from them. I even planned to order a new water pipe installed just to get a hold of someone from the company, but I’ve had no responses.

I really need to find this Mark Marcusson guy, but his email address is seems defunct… So, if any of you have had any dealings with Wastewater South or Mark Marcusson in the past, could you please get in touch? Even if you only have a contact number or a personal email address, I would be eternally grateful.

We need to find Graham.

Help

Hi guys!
So, yesterday I received an email from someone anonymous. They said they could help me, and that they knew about the culverts. Unfortunately, they haven’t replied to any of my questions. I haven’t really given up on finding someone who knows what happened at the culverts, so it would be great if this person turned out to know something, and considering they probably read my blog, I am hoping they will see this and reach out again. That said, they also told me that I should stay away from Graham. That makes me a bit suspicious, to be honest. There is the chance that this is Graham finally communicating intelligibly, pretending he can help so he can trick me into getting off his back. So, if you are someone who actually knows something, I would love to hear more from you. If you are Graham, I would like us to talk like reasonable people. If this is someone who is doing it for fun, it’s not funny.
Thanks!

A message to "uncoveredgraham" Part II

A message to "uncoveredgraham"

Hi guys.
Yesterday, a few of you have brought something to my attention that can’t just be ignored.
It seems that ever since I started this blog, there’s another blog that has been copying my posts. I was first made aware of it a few days ago, but it has been going on for months.

I have tried to contact the owner, but I’ve had no reply, so I thought it might be a bot. Going back though, it’s clear that my posts have been edited or rewritten in strange ways, to a varying degree each time, so if this is a bot it’s a strange one.

If you are a real person, I am sure you read my blog. I want to talk to you. You have been stealing the material I have been creating, and often spent hours researching, and that is not okay. I would appreciate it if you came forward and apologised for your theft, both in writing to me and on your own blog. If you do not do this, I will report you and request that your blog is taken down.

To the rest of you, thanks for pointing it out and showing your support, it’s greatly appreciated!

The Culverts - Part III

In my search for what I have been assured was a paganistic cult, I’ve had to dig into some weird stuff. My main contact has been the priest I mentioned in the previous update, but I’ve also had to consult some books at the local library. Yeah, when was the last time you looked something up in a book?

I had it on good authority that there had been a trend going around the region with vague shamanistic at the time of the culvert-cult, but I had no idea that anyone had taken it to such a literal idea. A magazine article I found referenced a group of bohemians living by “Four Branches.” At first I thought it might be a place, but some more digging made me think it might have referred to the Four Branches of the Mabinogi. That’s a collection of written Welsh mythology, by the way.

I didn’t make the connection at first, as the only thing to guide me was the fact that the area around here was used for druidic worship in the time before the Anglo-Saxons. It is a “well-known fact” that druidic cults operated until the 1600s, even if I haven’t found any confirmation of this. However, once I looked up cult activity in newspaper reports from the 1920s, I found something. A group of people that moved from all over Britain to the region following the first world war gathered in a group of worshippers that referred to itself as “nifer o cyhyraeth”. I haven’t quite managed to figure out what it’s supposed to mean, but apparently Cyhyraeth is a being from Welsh mythology. It’s a large but thin, skeletal, wraith-like spirit that stalks people who are about to suffer a horrible fate.

Why anyone would want to associate with such a being is beyond me. Maybe they saw some form of divinatory power in its ability to predict death, or maybe there is some other ability that I didn’t read about that is appealing. Or maybe it’s just a misspelling of a completely different word. Unfortunately, I doubt any of the members from 1923 are alive today. However there are no later stories about that group of worshippers, which means that it is not impossible that some sort of religious tradition survived for some 65 years, manifesting in the culvert-cult.

So that’s my theory on who the people causing disturbances around the culvert were. I would have liked to be able to say something more definitive, especially as I’ve spent weeks researching this, but until I manage to get a hold of someone close to the cult, or even a member of it, this will have to do.

I hope you guys have enjoyed the culvert-mystery half as much as I have!

The Culverts - Part II

Hi everyone. As most of you know, this past month I’ve been working like crazy trying to figure out the mystery surrounding the culverts. The greatest challenge has by far been trying to find out what happened afterwards. There’s just no trace I can follow about anything. Who got arrested, why did it take so long before the police got involved, why didn’t DevDor Waste (the company that built the culvert) do anything themselves. Indeed, I can’t even get a hold of anyone who worked at the company back then, partially because it is defunct now.

I spoke to a police officer who was active back in the early eighties, but although he can recall the case, he doesn’t remember anything about who were in charge of it, or involved at all. The journalist who wrote both of the reports I am working off of is dead. I was just about ready to give up on the whole thing.

But then someone sent me the name of a local priest! I would like to take this opportunity to thank my anonymous benefactor. (I am sure you read the site!) Of course, with the involvement of stories of Satanic worship and rituals, it was natural to involve a man of God in the investigation. As it turns out, the priest (who also wishes to remain anonymous, but whom I am pretty sure does not read my blog) was the one who determined beyond a shadow of doubt that what was going on was not anything Satanic, but better described as pagan. Oh, and there was supposedly no human sacrifice. Best to get that out of the way.

I was surprised by how big the difference between labelling something Satanic and Pagan is. You see, Satanism is effectively a religion, a set of beliefs derived from Christianity, if somewhat twisted and perverted from its original message. Satanism is a faith, a pattern that every Satanist can follow. Paganism, on the other hand, is by its very definition unstructured. The way the priest explained it was that Paganism covers every faith that doesn’t have any centralised tenets. There are thousands of variations on Pagan religions, across the world and across history, but apart from similar gods or similar mythological creatures, there isn’t any correct way to view the faith (or a number of correct ways, as is the case with most religions). It is uncentralised and unorganised, by its very definition.

So the question then is what the culvert cult believed they were doing with their rituals or nightly activities. It turned out that that would be an even more difficult question to answer.
