TribeTwelve: Explained - Part One

you what does family mean to you does it mean people that you're related to by blood in genetics does family mean the group of varying individuals that sometimes get together around holidays and the celebrations of milestones for children birthday parties graduations the occasional religious ceremony usually for your cousin's those age group relations you may know personally to a degree that area family outside your siblings you might be able to get the closest to are you close to your cousins do you consider them friends of yours how well do you know them really how well do you know them or rather for the time you spent with your closest cousins significant portions of family parties away from authoritarian aunts and uncles playdates reunion outings have you actually known them as well as you think Oh what am I saying of course you have now your cousins they're your blood they're your friends you know them you can trust them that's why it's always sad to hear about the state of affairs in the homes of extended family when things aren't going too well sometimes our cousins even our closest ones can be a bit troubled unhappy going through a rough patch or two and feeling considerate feeling friendly you reach out to them knowing they'll respond with such a close history between the two of you except they don't no words between you and you wonder why the silence continues as you go over mental checklist of all the incidents of odd behavior or troubling news you've heard about your friend by blood over the years the memories of odd or uncle's matching psychiatric visits intermixed with weekend sleepovers and it creates a cold uneasy feeling inside you months later you finally receive word about your cousin's condition he's dead life taken by his own hand you knew he was troubled but suicide you didn't expect that as you stumbled through the confusion and begin to feel grief edging into your mind you think of the last time you saw them and wonder if they exhibited any symptoms or alarming behavior at all and that's when you remember you have a videotape of the whole experience if there's any way to see any way to catch early signs you might have missed it would be on the tape and beyond the need to investigate you just want to see your cousin and your friend alive again this is the situation presented by college age noah maxwell in June of 2010 originally meant for a Jew day drives study at school that was cancelled at the last minute noah converted his youtube channel for the project to be a memorial dedicated to his deceased cousin Milo Asher Milo had come down from Alabama to visit no one Florida for weekend in May of 2008 and Noah having just bought a new camera decided this would be a great opportunity to test it out and just have a nice record of Milo's visit no add completely forgotten that he'd recorded the weekend after Milo left and this is his first time viewing the footage noah uploads 6 submissions containing different portions of the weekends in the beginning of my last trip we see the tape interrupted by short fits of visual and auditory distortion and notice that milo has a cough that just doesn't quit noah comments that he's always had that strange cough as they hang around in the backyard where a symbol has been drawn on the cement during their first day visiting milo and no I drove to nearby Victor Park and explored some of its nature trails the first of which included an observation tower going up the tower it's easy to spot some more out symbols carved into the wood but that's just the beginning of weird activity where's the patience to carve this stuff into this like fire resistant wood we need to go what we need to go okay where you going we go hey yeah no and Milo seemed to go straight from the nature trail to a boardwalk through natural wetland leading out to the water they explore the boardwalk to its end and on the way back the camera starts acting up is being taking a bed of your natural so Milo what you want to do next I think we should go home why we have a few hours of light I mean it's only 6:00 it's getting dark man you came in we gotta go now man like that things turned a bit more unnerving as Noah discovers Milo had taken his camera that night and done some recording of his own heavy distortion kicks in for bed and returns when Milo stops to take his pills in the kitchen he picks up the camera again and starts looking through the windows the ending footage isn't lost on Noah he has a Twitter account to match the YouTube channel and on June 9th he posts and in sleep last night I'm still thinking over the footage I posted in submission number three submission for details are returned to Victor park where milo has to go to an observation tower they haven't visited yet the audio is distorted throughout the clip and has brief moments of correcting itself at the tower there's yet another symbol carved into the picnic table I know his camera catches something on the upper level the camera cuts away to a new location with Noah and Milo walking Noah gets a phone call and passes the camera to Milo who soon spots a man standing in an open area of grass watching them he Sprint's away and Noah closes the submission with this message after I caught up with Milo he said he wanted to leave immediately and head home I had never seen him so afraid before back then I didn't think anything of the way Milo was acting but now as I view this footage I feel really bad that I didn't keep in contact with him negative emotions turn into physical sensations for Noah the next day I have a massive headache tonight I'll continue viewing the tape tomorrow to my memory there's a much footage of my loans visit left in submission five know when Milo went driving back from Victor Park in no ass just what's going on with him Milo says it's personal on that he shouldn't worry about it once they're at the house we can see Milo writing in a journal and there's a moment with emotions of his hand let us know he's scratching the familiar symbol from earlier into the page late into the night Milo takes the camera again and goes around the house even leaving the home to explore the yard visual and auditory distortion interrupts the footage at several points so mission six details Milo's exit on Monday morning know it states that there are several highly distorted shots he doesn't remember filming including one especially shocking sequence we get back to the footage as it started with Noah Singh Milo out after he leaves Noah realizes Milo forgot his pills and puts the camera down for a moment allowing us to see an intruder outside the window down the hall the man vanishes and Noah ends the tape he can't explain the extra footage on the tape with a massive amount of audio-visual defects however he's noticed the recurring distortion doesn't seem to be a coincidence and will not only be analyzing the footage but posting his findings tape analysis abroad shortly after in which noah makes the connection between camera errors and milos moments of panic he's also been seeing a man that appears in the tape several times Noah is terrified after realizing the man has been in his house I have not been able to sleep well for several days the fact that I have to question the validity of Milo's paranoia is making me paranoid I've been called upon to attend Milo's funeral in New York his family has a burial plot there I'm catching a plane tomorrow went to the funeral and then saw my grandfather Carl had a very odd day a video will be posted soon I need to get back home Noah uploads footage from the day of Milo's funeral in New York on July 12 upon arrival he learned that Milo had been cremated and buried but the family ceremony hadn't been performed yet his death had been deemed the suicide though his mother had private investigators searched his room just in case they discovered various caches of pills hidden in the closet and a toxicology report only confirmed what the police filed Milo had overdosed on a mixture of sleeping pills and depression anxiety medication Noah tried speaking with Milo's mother at the funeral but his aunt seemed to be actively avoiding him in the one instance Noah managed to catch her he asked if she'd seen the videos he had on YouTube and she said that not only had she not she didn't want to and especially didn't want to be filmed two days later in awhile upload footage of a visit with his grandfather Carl who only speaks German and immigrated to the United States after World War two prior to his trip north from Otto's funeral no ad received an email from Carl and German saying he'd seen his videos and needed to speak to him Noah doesn't understand how Carl knew he was going to be in New York his parents hadn't told him Noah was went down from Milo's funeral he also doesn't know how Carl found the YouTube videos but knows he only has his email address after Noah's father requested he sent Carl his high school graduation pictures a few years back despite how well the circumstances surrounding this meaning are Noah goes through his grandfather and records the visit Carl tells the story of how he grew up in a town near Germany's Black Forest where his mother would tell tales of a monster that lived in the woods name the grossman who stole children that ran away from home as an intelligence spy for the Allies during world war ii he had an espionage mission in the Black Forest where they encountered a panic Nazi running from something that couldn't be seen the man had a broken arm and leg but was still struggling on the group tried to find out what was after him until the grossman appeared wearing a black suit he had no face and many arms like an octopus Carl says they shot at him but it had no effect the Grossman grabbed the Nazi soldier with a tentacle and disappeared no trace of him was ever found Carl has seen the Grossman and Noah's videos and felt the need to warn him but in telling his story he's picked up a growing bad energy around Noah and he must leave the house now Carl kicks no out amid a shawna visual distortion and though Noah tries to get back in Carl only insists that he go away on July 20th we see the direction Noah state-of-mind takes as a result of the recent developments in his life I can't walk around my house at night it's nerve-racking I literally have not had a comfortable night of sleep in weeks I think about the tape every night that guy in the suit insomnia I didn't sleep at all tonight I kept hearing noises around the house I don't think it's the house settling these sounded different these noises are scaring the [ __ ] out of me I filming tonight so I can try and catch what I'm hearing on tape posting my findings soon last night's footage was disappointing none of the sounds in question were picked up but I definitely heard them I'll try again tonight the camera finally picked up some audio during the night also found something outside video will be posted within the week God willing Noah opens his next video on August 9th by saying he's heard noises during the night and is trying to catch them on tape he goes to sleep and collects a few uninterrupted hours until about 2:45 a.m. when major distortion hits and kills the night vision on the camera the following clip shows the camera on what seems to be a pool house in the middle of a lightning storm followed by black and white distortion of someone running across steps and then Noah's room at 3:30 2:00 a.m. he wakes at 3:33 and starts coughing Noah gets up sets the camera on his bedside table and turns on the light the lights start flashing and then go out after hearing some serious noise in the house Noah grabs a knife and leaves his room looking for intruders noises outside bring him to the pool area and we can see this is where the camera had been set up during the lightning storm no I checks the front door just to see if the intruders run around the house and spots a package sitting on the bench he checks the whole front yard for the enemy but there's no one around he ends the video by staying he no longer feels safe in his own home two days later Noah bloats a new video the unboxing we learned the box was left outside on the night of the fourth but Noah hasn't touched it out of dread he called the police who came and looked around but couldn't find anything the box is wrapped in black rope and all information on it has been blacked out there's a sudden wave of distortion followed by a hidden frame he knows what I have done Noah goes open the box and the camera shuts itself off he reports us as the third time it had happened in the past week Noah turns the camera back on it continues opening the box to find an unwound cassette tape inside beneath it is a phone a key a note and several electronic parts the phone screen is broken but the phone itself still works and makes calls though its number has been deactivated by the service provider a wave of distortion obscures the audio as Noah claims he can probably manage to pull information off of the phone's memory he picks up the note which reads the truth lies within the rivers flow is where it begins when the dawn breaks the soul awakens on the back one last word Noah the video ends with Noah saying he'll begin investigating tomorrow he's exhausted after being up for about three days since the intruder incident intense distortion hits when he touches the camera and were left with one final message the form of a secret frame I will wait for you going to a local phone store tomorrow to try and extract any information off of his phone also try to recover what's on the TV tape finally getting this video together my grades are steadily dropping I hate this the motion sensor lights in my house keep going off and Rose where there is no motion video will be posted within the week on September 16th no uploads box analysis he begins by apologizing for the amount of time taken to upload a new video he still doesn't know what the poem on the note means but he's aware of what the electronic parts are there various pieces from a VCR a television and a video camera none of these pieces come from one single device Noah managed to extract data from the cell phone with the aid of a phone shop employee there are three audio clips besides the audio there are several pictures on the phone a few of which are concerning to see and finally the cassette tape Noah got it wound up again and recovered some of the footage the video shows a man with brown shoes walking around a playground at night as hidden frames play over the scene spelling out a message do you remember the man in the playground keeps walking around until he finds what he's looking for Noah adds that the playground in the video looks a lot like the one in Victor Park where he went with Milo during their last weekend together as for the final item from the box the key it opens his garage door whoever left this package had access to his house at the end the secret for a message forgive me I find it hard to study when the smallest thing startled me I might move out this house to a dorm on campus soon it's just that bad I hate waking up in a cult winner realizing that it was only a dream I've been having recurring nightmares about that boardwalk the nightmare II had last night was vivid I was on the boardwalk at dusk I couldn't move and I saw someone at the far end of the platform I found a dead white ibis in my backyard today the calling of the turkey vultures eating it woke me unsettling I think Milo's mom changed her number I keep getting the number you have dialed has been disconnected or is not in service at this time I did ask my parents about it they weren't in close contact with the Asher's but they said the numbers don't work either he was just standing in my closet I woke up and saw something move and he was there I swear it but now he's gone what the [ __ ] is this I can I don't remember posting that last tweet I don't even recall being up that late to post it my phone was with me no one else could have can't sleep fear of the unknown is a terrible fear it's on how even though the strange occurrences have pretty much ceased I still feel incredibly paranoid I really need to calm down I'm nervous I swore that I heard the cellphone vibrating from within the Box last night although it might have just been my imagination just got up had a very bad nightmare but I don't remember it woke up with a terrible nosebleed I feel sick have you gotten any decent sleep this week no not at all the sleeping pills don't really help much but they do the job they've given me some [ __ ] up dreams most are random and not memorable but I have recurring dreams of the boardwalk and it's 409 a.m. god dammit [ __ ] insomnia the ashes seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth every method of a communication I try yield to no reply I need to reach them I know this may not be the safest idea but have you thought about going back to check out the boardwalk yes but I've been too afraid to go alone my friend Kevin who translated Karl's German might come I'll convince him can't [ __ ] sleep I'm planning on going back to the boardwalk sometime soon I just have this urge to go there and check things out another nosebleed on Halloween how appropriate the phone rang yet again I am answering and getting it on tape the phone rang again but this time I got it on tape video soon there's more footage on my camera when the hell did I film this on November 3rd no uploads his footage of the phone call a transcript was provided later in the video description [ __ ] in addition to the phone call Noah provides the extra footage he found on his camera one last frame underlies what Noah witnessed that night no escape the panic attacks come in waves now I'm close to having a mental breakdown this fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself when you're told to cheer up but you have no incentive it's almost mocking I'm going to contact Kevin and ask him about the boardwalk soon he took me to the dark place today no light Grace's this place 11 11 11 11 below their level their lower level over there watching waiting for you you I'm okay I'm okay I don't know where the [ __ ] happened last night just woke up a few minutes ago I didn't tweet that [ __ ] or post that [ __ ] video I'm still trying to figure things out I went to sleep and when I woke up all this [ __ ] was posted I might have been hacked or something okay I've changed all my YouTube Twitter and computer login passwords and check the locks on my doors I might need to stay with someone none of my damn friends will let me stay over to be fair I've been acting antisocial lately I need somewhere to stay for Thanksgiving no family in town I lived in my parents summer home and commute to classes I pretty much live alone and have no family here it's lonely here especially with all the fucked-up [ __ ] that's happening I want to hang with someone I'd feel safer no way to head to where your parents are now for Thanksgiving break at least it's just no way they live in California to have no spear travel money my family's kind of tight on money recently anyone nearby up for letting me stay with them for the holidays I don't want to be alone on Thanksgiving message me if you live in Florida what about Kevin he's your friend right can't you just stay with him for Thanksgiving sure he's my friend but I don't know his folks I've already asked him and he said that his parents won't let me stay okay good news I think I have someone to stay with for Thanksgiving when she responds to me on YouTube I'll make my final decision I'm staying with augmented angel she's the closest about 100 miles away it's far but I'm willing to drive thanks for all the offers I'm leaving tomorrow traveling the Sarah augmented angel things are really looking up for a change this is going to be a great Thanksgiving having a great time at Sara's place thanks for the awesome dinner I might have a live stream of us tomorrow on stickam keep a look out had a pleasant sleep for once in a long while we're gonna have a live stream on stickam sometime today had a fun time talking to all you guys live on stickam left early some [ __ ] went down don't know where I'm headed [ __ ] this sorry Sara then driving on the highway since I left very shaken from Saturday need to get to class tomorrow I got to return home eventually though I really don't know what happened but fucked-up memories playing tricks on me I'm sleeping in my car tonight when are you going to drive back home maybe Friday I'm reluctant to return home but I need to get back I've been living in my car since the 27th woke up to another nosebleed one of the worst yet good thing there was a gas station nearby heading home after my classes ended around 7:00 ish I sought out early and I got back home at about 5:30 p.m. there was an envelope stuck in my front door my house looks otherwise untouched I'm opening this thing tomorrow I'll post a video about what I find inside soon and then I'll go through the Thanksgiving footage not happy at all with what's in this envelope this [ __ ] is really [ __ ] with me confusion ensues video tomorrow I keep finding thinks this is really [ __ ] freaky I should have searched harder in my box analysis because of these new findings I'm adding more to the video I'll post it tomorrow for sure also I have finals coming up and need my rest on December 6 the video comes up titled the token letter I came home today after several days of living in my car on highway after I left Sara's house today after Thanksgiving when I got home I found an envelope sticking out from between my front doors I had no address information or or any information at all on it besides the word token on the front and Bey on the back with an arrow inside the envelope there was a bunch of strange [ __ ] first there is a note who's more foolish the boy that is afraid of the dark or the man that is afraid of the light and expecting you this simple thing the strong in the middle question mark I don't know that's blood or not and second there's a piece of tissue paper some [ __ ] written on it this is this is this obviously making fun of my my nosebleeds mocking me and then we have this little baggie of white pills there's my counter there 16 pills and that I did it I didn't have no idea what they are and inside there's a little note take the usual feel better I'm not gonna take [ __ ] there's a fortune from a fortune cookie in there too says the guilty one is not he who commits the sin but the one who causes the darkness I don't know if that has any significance whatever there's also this key inside as well it's broken off at the neck and doesn't really look familiar to me at all weirdly enough there's a bunch of sticks and leaves inside I don't even know what the hell is supposed to make out and finally we have this the flash drive USB and loose skeleton of one and I plugged into my computer to see if it worked and it did they had this video file on it this is what was update uh before I gonna post this video a hunch I decided to take another look in the box the box that was left outside on my house about three months ago and there was an area I realized I hadn't looked in beforehand the bottom of the box I just made up two flaps that could be folded back if if you forced them hard enough I found this and this the symbol has been reoccurring in the letter and a video and flash drive I had no [ __ ] idea where it's from or what it means this is really the first time I've been seeing it also under the flaps there were two things another fortune debrie looked the more you will find and an old burnt picture of my land I now I had given my love this picture as a file back in I was 6 before he shut his email account down and I don't know how this [ __ ] got ahold of it but but maybe he has some connection with Milo I have no [ __ ] idea ok um I really don't know the [ __ ] this person is but they're really [ __ ] with me and I don't appreciate being [ __ ] with so if you could step the [ __ ] off that would be nice I'm really stressed right now and all this crazy ship is not helping so right now I am going to look through my Thanksgiving footage and I'll post it after I metal down some more so no out I just realized something the green scribbles on the note smell like grass not crayon like I thought I think leaves were rubbed on it ignorance is like morphine it makes you feel better but it doesn't help your overall condition especially if the condition is fear going to a local pharmacy to see about these pills after one of my finals the pharmacist said that seven of the 16 pills have the antihistamine diphenhydramine in them benadryl but the other nine he couldn't identify I still have to view that Thanksgiving footage the break just began and I really don't want to be upset now I'll get to it soon enough turns out that I'm heading to my parents place for Christmas I'll post an update if anything unexpected goes down happy holidays Milo had a stepdad for a few years he left miles mom after Milo last visited me I got his number from my parents contacting him soon going to have a lonely New Year's at home my resolution for 2011 is to have a resolution for 2012 Youssou me more time to think about it the year is only just beginning but so are we well observer looks like you broke NOAA's password again as long as you're here not answering a few questions the questions are more important than the answers I am your follower in the light I am invisible in the night I am present in the Sun but not in the rain I do no harm and feel no pain what am I very astute observations my children I am proud of you how everything you see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see I will soon return bearing gifts [ __ ] damn it this [ __ ] [ __ ] hacked me again and changed my [ __ ] I went to sleep early because I didn't sleep through New Year's there I changed my avatar picture and info back I'm stepping up my game this time heavier encryption more security a [ __ ] pissed until this point Oh his profile picture on all social media accounts was an image of the observation tower in Victor Park it's only been when the observer broke in that the current symbol appeared this John Fletcher guy won't pick up I'm not giving up yet he's the only solid lead to the Asscher family I have I'm going to keep trying success Milo stepped out finally picked up his phone apparently he was out for the holidays video of the call will be posted tonight Noah has the video uploaded and we learned from John Fletcher that Mary Asher stopped pick up her phone five months after Milo's funeral it doesn't really surprise John she has a history of strange behavior and mr. Fletcher went as far as to tell Noah that she suffered from psychosis one of her major consistent hallucinations was a certain mr. slim that she kept seeing some kind of strange man that's as much as John can offer for information though he hasn't be able to reach Mary either biked by the boardwalk today even though I'm reluctant and afraid to go into it I have this odd urge to [ __ ] terrible nightmare of Thanksgiving if I don't look at that footage I'm going to lose my goddamn mind gonna do it within the week on February 1st no what finally uploads the first day of his Thanksgiving trip it's entirely uneventful which is a very nice pace for noah for a change he meets up with sarah they share Thanksgiving hang out a bit and go to bed while sleeping Noah gets up in a wave of distortion rolls through he comes back stands forbidden and slowly sinks back down followed by more Distortion he seems fine after this point of intense breathing and says in the video description I remember having one of the greatest sleeps I've had in a long time that first night I don't recall getting up as it shows on tape more concerning the Noah's instance of sleepwalking is the first bit of distortion look closely did you catch it let's look again who is this they weren't there a moment ago and when Noah comes back they're gone again but in the final frame of the video they left us a message I'm here two days later no uploads the rest of the footage from his trip it's the day after Thanksgiving and he and Sarah are sitting with her friend Kat while they broadcast the live stream that went on there's an instance of distortion while Noah waves the camera around and the next segment consists of the crew playing a board game after getting food I have the best cards yeah these are probably all deadly I think I'm either gonna go with the one the second will the second one on the end or the end because they're really for deadly all right guys do you want to go for funny how do you want to go for like realistic let's take off I don't know oh all right choose wisely dealer oh gosh this is hard giant squid or Helen Keller hmm not a speck Helen Keller yes it's the winning card and I told you I freaking told you yes that's right I just pulled that one Keller Noah's neck seen outside with the camera at night for some reason looking around the backyard I'm just getting nevermind yeah it's getting late sorry just need to check something out nothing no that's nothing you hey guys we've decided to spend the night over at Sarah's dad's house names Frank right yeah that's right we were going to do some activity tomorrow I don't know maybe a fishing ring what else would you do here but whatever we're heading there right now so see them Noah meets Sarah's father then proceeds to the bathroom to get dressed for bed Sarah later comes and says she's hearing things and wants to know if he can help check it out nor report seeing nothing but offers to stay in her room for the night if it'll help which she agrees to Serah soon wakes up and realizes her roommate is gone she takes the camera goes on a hunt for him hello No no no uh are you out here I don't know

for the wonderful things in dinner but I can't stay the night I have to go now I have to go now oh Jesus what the hell's going on here was it what was that Oh put the [ __ ] and to match its counterpart this video had a final frame message soon you will join us it's clear that much more happen during Noah's Thanksgiving than he anticipated his reason for hesitating to upload is far too clear now but that's no surprise considering how each new upload only seems to bring more misfortune down around him whoever's observing him is adamant and making sure he knows and keeps bringing up more surprises including break-ins the Noah's Twitter and YouTube channel what does this entity want with him how do they keep getting in so easily both the Noah's house and his online accounts who is the observer and how did they follow him all the way to Sara's house and slip in undetected we'll explore all that and more in part 2 of tribe 12 explained I believe we've watched noah suffer enough
