On-topic: How did Al1 know when the seeker was coming? He couldn't have known precisely even with the youtube video account on watch. Nor is it likely he could have sat at the spot for days or weeks on end - unless his home is within viewing distance of the location in question.
Secondary: Who is the narrator, and can I hire him to read things to me? That is a fine narrator-voice.
As has been mentioned by other commentors, i would be first skeptical of anything purporting to be a factual story if on the www. Given that premise, i'd want to know more about the source.
It's great to get that story by Chaucer. Might have to read more of him!
Here is my question: What kind of idiot would pursue a treasure where the premise of the clues is based on the pardoner's tale which ends with everyone dead?
That was one of the most interesting videos i have seen.
ReplyDeleteI would ask who is Al1, why is he doing this?
As a YouTube comment pointed out Al1=Alone
Simple: Are there reasons to disbelieve it?
ReplyDeleteThe Answer, by the way, is yes.
Who is Adam and how did he come to make the video? (Or is that two?)

Nice and interesting Mockumentary.
ReplyDeleteI would first ask: Why is the voice actor for Fortress (Duncan Wingman) so overacting?
Couldn't the police trace Fortress's IP address to figure out who he is?

ReplyDeleteThe null hypothesis:
ReplyDeleteIs the story "An Internet Murder?" actually true at all?
Initial google searches indicate that it is not (i.e. no match for the exact phrase "body discovered on welsh farm").
It is FICTIONAL! It is a MOCKUMENTARY!
ReplyDeleteIt's official website is: http://www.adam-butcher.co.uk/internet-story
My FIRST question, was "what are you going to use this video for?"
ReplyDeleteTo answer to this Q myself: as a homework/test in an OSINT class (similar to the one in your "Google a day" post).
Keep up the good work. I follow your blog at least twice a week for months.
