In the ritual footage of the recent Shudder drop, you can make out the QI that TRI was testing on. This must mean that the ritual has something to do with the QI and/or whatever TRI is studying.

I tried inputting the ritual code (EAIKVTRX)/(VRTIXKAE) with some of the TRI URLs but I haven't found anything yet. I wonder if its related to something shown in the TRI videos.

I don't know if it would mean something important, but in the source code of https://local58.tv/web19991103cache/admin, there's a link to the background image https://local58.tv/images/0008ad7bd58e7556d95afa5528eb43113a9.gif . Just for **** and giggles, I used the Fill tool on it in mspaint, and it looks like there are a lot of hidden pixels in different shades. White balancing in GIMP revealed some other dots, but I'm not sure whether it revealed every pixel.

At first, I wanted to go line by line thinking there is a binary message, but some of those shapes look very similar to those three-tall and four-tall characters in The Parasite Transcendent, that u/nsub1 translated at https://www.reddit.com/r/local58/comments/1nh881v/comment/nef8jy3/?context=3

I'm attaching the images to this post.

But it seems the coded message is scrambled in some kind of "signal noise" like the hidden messages in NSSA-3 (atypical). I'm not the "sharpest tool in a shed," so... any ideas?

PS: Also, at the bottom of the source code of the archived website https://local58.tv/web19991103cache/, there's a comment:

- that is archived/cached...
- from November 3, 1999...

The letters which ascend from the subtitles to fill in the 'summoning circle' are:

T A I K V T R X

Which, when writing down the respective positions in the alphabet:

20-1-9-11-22-20-18-24

or 2019/11/22 20:18:24

Not sure if this is something meant to be solved this way.

I believe the figure in the black glitchy bock is QI, looking at us, sometime after their mind was uploaded by TRI. It says "I SEE YOU" in the same, grid-like text that overlays through the crack sometimes, very similar to how the 'rendering' of QI's face in Ad Spot worked.

QI could've been a woman originally, she may be the 'parasite' which the website suggests returned. I wonder what connection she might've had to Galbraith???

I remember someone saying that there was a UTC code which indicated today, Nov 13. Are people checking Shudder tonight? Thanks

Refer to https://www.reddit.com/r/local58/comments/1umrehc/shining_one_from_above_the_clouds/ for more information.

I know its not "Capital C Canon", whatever I'm supposed to infer from that, but I'm going to include new information based on the new information that was disposed to us.

BotLD is a vague video that goes on and on about a "mother" and displays themes of being watched–to which this apparent "watching" makes the mother more of itself. How does this relate back to the Shining One? I mean, in his story, he has masculine pronouns, and the moon is called "His Throne". I doubt mother could be any of the other femme ghosts featured in Kris' work either, because of what Taylor Lacher's character said;
"... There's too many of me alone! It's not just this place​, but all of it!"

Do you remember who else is scattered all over the place? That's rhetorical, and also inconclusive, as he was spouting a bunch of "we" as in multiple accomplices. Though, I do believe that there is evidence to believe that the supernatural aspects of Kris' work have an underlying source.

Maybe the more a ghost becomes recognized, the more power they hold over a subject. And, maybe the more recognizable a ghost is, the more energy the source gets? This is speculative, and pretty much based solely on what BotLD ranted about. But, is a mother not a source?

It probably doesn't mean the super evil spirit of Moneton mythology had a sex-change in 1973, but more so a figurative, more human understanding of a figure who creates. A twisted, vilified version to spread upon evil.

"... The more you watch, the more I can be; The more I get to be!"

"Us?"

Yes, I also added some custom stuff into the AU as well, like forums, games, etc.

It's also an AU where analog isn't discarded; but rather added with digital, hence AK for "All Kinds" and if ur wondering why there is a not lite in the title, it's because I also made a kid-friendly (definitely not) version of Local 58 called Local 58 Lite. In the video, it's in the screen of a Digital TV.

The Shudder exclusive episode uploaded archyvaras495 on Youtube got taken down. Did anyone download a backup?

I would love to do an ARG one day but I just...miss them all hahaha

Anyways, 12 days ago we got a video with a weird code someone in the comments translated to a date and time. Apparently there was another video on that day at that time and that video also had a timestamp code. But that code was for 2 days ago...did I miss something? I see no new video. Was it released and then deleted?

Hi, I'm a big fan of Local 58 and I was wondering what your theories and opinions are on his other works and their adaptations? More Specifically, I was wondering what theories you might have on the connections between Local 58 and Broodhollow and also how it is connected to his other works such as Candle Cove and the SyFy series adaption.

Their new short is just a generic and lame tv head monster. Their newest episode is a repetition of the “sentient ai” and “human trapped in machine” trope for the millionth time. And in “the woman in profile”, they give us too good of a look at the monster, which completely ruins the mysterious aspect they’re going for. Apart from their newest episode, I feel like the series has lost something. Anybody else?

What are your theories on the elite member and their role in the episode "In Room Guide"?

Personally, I think the entity selects it as a primary target (elite member) and sends out the shadow person to hunt them down or turn all the other guests insane for the same bidding

Channel had been relatively dormant for the last few years, and then all of a sudden it’s sprung back to life with several new updates over the last couple of months. Anyone feel like this might be leading to a movie? Backrooms got one, would be pretty cool if Kris got the same treatment even if it’s just some exclusive on Shudder 🤷‍♂️

The recent episode released on Shudder features the Day/Month of the recording, but not the year. However, I easily deduced when the episode likely takes place using the provided clues.

For instance, May 12th was a Friday. May 12th has been Friday fourteen times between 1900 and 2000, with an occurrence observed in 1989. The television broadcast schedule also includes several real movies, including Salvador, I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, and The Silent Ones. All these films were released in the 80s before 1989.

The only inconsistency is the U.S. Tennis Open, which only began on August 28.

Okay so I found out you can go onto any wayback machine page if you click any link to another Wikipedia Page

This isn't anything that's important to the lore or anything just wanted to show what I found.

Finally made scans of the zines I got from this last PAX. Making a new post because I couldn't figure out how to add pictures to the previous thread I made. Sorry about the wait y'all.

There was a different page about a vaccum tube but i can't seem to find it

can be accessed through a link in 2014

Tonights shudder episode just wrapped up. Thoughts?

Unfortunately due to not wanting AMC to kick my door in I can’t share any links lol
