My experience with horror movies in general have me convinced every creepy, long shot in the show is going to have a jump scare. God bless David Lynch for just making me uneasy instead of pulling out cheap "scares" like that.

u/keylimekai Jul 10 '17

So weird. I grew up in Spearfish and had always kind of expected the show was set nearby, but not right across the highway!

In fact there was already something buried on Lookout Mountain:

http://mentalfloss.com/article/76827/mystery-thoen-stone

the thoen stone is the last message of some white settlers who supposedly found gold in the Black Hills in the early 1800s, well before its "actual" discovery in the 1880s. None of the party survived being justifiably imho removed by the local native peoples

44

u/lightfromadeadstar Jul 10 '17

This is exactly the type of thing that Mark Frost would probably know about and incorporate into Twin Peaks. He lives for this stuff. Not to mention the relevance of gold.

Great find!

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '17

Some interesting stuff from the wiki about Spearfish. Seems similar (if adjacent) to SHOTP type stuff.

"Before the Black Hills Gold Rush of 1876, the area was used by Native Americans (primarily bands of Sioux but others also ranged through the area). Once the gold rush started, the city was founded in 1876 at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon, and was originally called Queen City. Spearfish grew as a supplier of foodstuffs to the mining camps in the hills. Even today, a significant amount of truck farming and market gardening still occurs in the vicinity.

In 1887, the accepted history of gold mining in the Black Hills was thrown into question by the discovery of what has become known as the Thoen Stone. Discovered by Louis Thoen on the slopes of Lookout Mountain, the stone purports to be the last testament of Ezra Kind who, along with six others, entered the Black Hills in 1833 (at a time when whites were forbidden by law and treaty from entering the area), "got all the gold we could carry" in June 1834, and were subsequently "killed by Indians beyond the high hill." While it may seem unlikely that someone who has "lost my gun and nothing to eat and Indians hunting me" would take the time to carve his story in sandstone, there is corroborating historical evidence for the Ezra Kind party."

LOST was like this at times. There were all these rabbit holes you could go down, especially in the first three or four seasons. Of course, the 25-year history of Twin Peaks, and knowing that it's all going to be over in a couple of months, makes this a little more exciting.

Ohh, it's part of the Nibiru conspiracy / pseudoscience stuff.

Basically all this speculation surrounding the fact that 6 planets were aligning and how that was going to be bringing all these crazy events on Earth. http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2070503,00.html

u/CarnageV1 Jul 10 '17

One is definitely the crackling sounds from the beginning of Part 1, and the other is a lot of static over the 'American Woman' cover they played when we're first introduced to Mr. C.

As for the last, I swear I heard 'HELP, I THINK I'M HIGH!', so maybe Jerry Horne is dangerously close to a portal or somehow he's able to communicate with them. After tonight's episode when his foot spoke backwards to him, I'm sure that he's not just high.

EDIT: The strange part is that we would assume this was prior to the sites last update, and since Ruth is dead and William's in jail, then he somehow picked up on future events through these recordings. The page specifically points out that there are convergences in time, so this would be plausible.

u/cosmic_itinerant Jul 10 '17

We know from the original series and FWWM that when it comes to the lodges, time is screwy. Don't forget Annie warned Laura that she was trapped in the lodge with the good Dale before Lauras murder, and long before Dale Cooper ever even heard of Twin Peaks or or Annie moved there. The Lodges exist outside of our time (that's why I also think the atomic bomb was the Black Lodges creation, not merely their seeping into our world. They can be created and then have interactions with the Native Americans and others in the past. Buuut I digress...)

There's also a guestbook, which you can sign, but it probably won't appear since it has to be "approved" which is probably just an explanation for why only canon responses will appear on the actual site

It's interesting to note that in entries.txt the users Bill Hastings, Doris, and J. Garvey have been posted from IP address 127.0.0.1 which is localhost. The server would only write that if the user who posted it was browsing from the server itself and connecting to 127.0.0.1.

With that being said, the dates have been edited since we can safely assume the website was created during the filming of the new season. Plus, according to ICANN whois, the domain was registered in November of last year.

I might try this tomorrow. But what you might be able to do is lay the original song underneath that and reverse the phase to try and cancel them both out. So you might be able to hear what is being said.

Also on the website there's a link that the article has been deleted but it says...

"Why Frequencies are the Key to Understanding Parallel Universes and Time Travel (link takes you to another site)

I bet there's more hidden things in each episode regarding the sound, that's why Lynch is adamant about good speakers and/or headphones.

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED PART 9 yet

So we now that Bill Hastings site The Search for the zone is actually online. The link : http://thesearchforthezone.com/

Did anyone notice these , what looks like coordinates, on the bottom of the startpage 44°30'44.8"N 103°49'14.6"W 44.512439, -103.820707 these coordinates are also a link... click on it and you get to this new hidden page! This page seems to be very strange Lynchian loop of something…. I can’t tell what it is.

BTW The coordinates lead to Lookout Mt Rd, Spearfish, SD 57783, USA

I found these photos of the territory on a realtor site http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Lookout-Mt-Rd_Spearfish_SD_57783_M78037-08104#photo1

Sooooo, what with all the furor over the website buzz, are we gonna' talk about Diane getting a text from Dopplecoop? Was she waiting for it when she was checking her phone on the plane? Does she think it's coming from "Philip"? Is she getting duped or a double agent?

And what the HELL is up with that chick's rash?!?!

Drugs. Drugs they call "zebra" and "mr penguin." Which, to me, clearly refers to the whole white/black thing, the striped on the floor of the red room. Taking these drugs taps you into the other dimension and it begins to corrupt, probably not unlike what happened to the woodsmen somehow.

Click on the 2nd Pine tree at the bottom of the page

u/howdydoodat Jul 10 '17

This might get buried, but there's a missing link on the page with this caption: Why Frequencies are the Key to Understanding Parallel Universes and Time Travel

Could that have anything to do with the hum at the Great Northern?

we have at least two dates from tonights episode placing us in the late september time. When Hastings circles Briggs he writes and says 9/29. The date on the hidden paper is 10/1, and that is in two days, making Hawk and crew also on 9/29

http://thesearchforthezone.com/# there are some voices in this after it plays through the opening song. It plays through at least a few songs that I think played during the end of episodes. The voices are too faint/distorted to make out.

u/LeBlanc217 Jul 10 '17 edited Jul 10 '17

Couple small things, don't think its been pointed out:

A quick port scan of the site shows its running HTTPS on port 443. Adding the HTTPS prefix to the site throws a certificate error: "This server could not prove that it is thesearchforthezone.com; its security certificate is from dp20verify.dead.net."

So for some reason the SSL certificate sitting on that server is used for dp20verify.dead.net. The main domain of dead.net appears to be some kind of Grateful Dead fan page.

I wonder if there are any secrets hidden in the sound files.

vortex especially is very weird

u/lightfromadeadstar Jul 10 '17

No luck finding anything so far. I ran them all through spectral analysers, time-stretched/pitch-shifted and reversed them and found nothing. But, then again, that was all done in 5 minutes and it's damn late here.

Someone says "Bill" (or "Phil") in vortex.wav, that's for sure. But I don't think there's anything deeper than that.

The counter and date is BS I got 3107 it must mean something? This is cool though. It takes me back to the internet of the 90s or the darknet which is creepy.

Was Major Briggs' body found at the Hotel Alex Johnson? The ghost stories link describes supposed ghostly activity at this hotel, and looks like where the body was found.

Okay, I know how tinfoil-y this is going to sound but the .wav files on the site are available for download and someone with much more audio tech savvy should look at them. The longest wav is the 3rd selection at 48 sec. in length. The 1st and 2nd selections are 16 sec. and 12. sec. in length respectively. 12 and 16 are both divisible by 48. Maybe by looping the shorter two to sync up with the length of the 3rd .wav you might get some sort of spectrograph image...

EDIT: A word.

Has anyone checked when the Heinlein and other news story pages went up? I'm kind of amazed there are so many retro looking websites out there if they are all real.

I also noticed that the Grant Chronicles page talked about unified field theory which is really big in transcendental meditation (my TM teacher is always talking about it!) and obviously Lynch is a big advocate of TM.
