Research log 11(?), archives box thoughts

That last little packet of material is still bothering me. Just something about it is planted in my head. It seems off, less like an academic collection and more of a horde or something.

Also, a still of the paper with the code on it. I'm honestly not sure what to do with it, or what technology I need to figure it out. Since it seems that there's more than a few viewers here, do let me know if you find anything out.

Something's not right. I'm going to try to work past it, but if this is anything like from before, I might not have any choice.

Research log 9: Special Collections Archive #2

Second go through of the special collections archive box. The researchers seem to have found a similar figure to the man in the woods. They call him the Millpond Man.

Mention is made of a "Smith's Mill", so I'll have to see if this is a name code for a town, or if there is a real town by that name. It would bear worth looking into, I'll bet.

research log 8

Here's the 1st video log. Will be combing through more of it today.

So basically this is the first opportunity I've had to be able to look through the box. I've managed to identify the underlying motif with this particular project: myths, folklore, and legends surrounding water monsters and demons.

Alright, so my initial assumption that these tales about the man in the woods were entirely oral was untrue, to an extent.

I found a record in the library, in the special archives collection about old, local folk stories. I mean, other than it being included in the library collection, it's almost worthless, because there's no way I can source this. The box doesn't come with any sort of authors or identifiers.

I went to go talk to the front desk about it, but they had almost no information about it either, other than it joined their collection in 1999.

I made a video log of it tonight, and I'll upload it tomorrow. A storm is coming, and the internet is spotty at best. That being said, at least a photo of the box.

(In other news, things have been weird. I keep waking up with injuries I didn't go to sleep with. This worries me. I really cannot be breaking down like this, I don't have the time for another hospital debacle.)
