On 30 December 2018, HABIT tweeted from the EMH account:
"CONGRATULATIONS, RABBIT #061 - YOU DID IT. YOU DID SOMETHING. CHECK YOUR CLOSET FOR BOX SEVEN. LOVE THE SWEATER, BY THE WAY
SIGNING OFF."
Rabbit #061 (Discord user DixieWolf) checked her closet and found Box #7, a briefcase. The combination was set to 704, and the briefcase opened right away.
Contents[]
Inside the briefcase was a lockbox, an answering machine, a spool of purple thread, a pocket knife, a rabbit plushie that had been stitched up with purple thread, and a padded envelope.
Inside the rabbit[]
DixieWolf used the knife to open up the stitched-up rabbit plushy, and found the key to the lockbox in a ziplock bag.
Inside the lockbox[]
The lockbox contained two tapes for the answering machine (labelled "Tape 3" and "House Phone 2005"), a USB drive containing the 18 audio files for Tape 3 (available on YouTube); a shotgun shell casing, believed to be the one Alex buried as part of the Seven Trials; and a small pocket watch stopped at 2:12.
Inside the envelope[]
The envelope contained the following:
- A polaroid picture with a sticky note on the back labelling it “James, Elizabeth, Adam”
- A burnt bookmark from Labyrinth Books - on the back, dates (1589, 1888, 1929, 1971, 1989, 1990, ? 1991)
- A burnt newspaper clipping from The Princetonian reading:
In the early hours of February 14, 2018, a United States Postal Service carrier burst into flames and crashed on Route 1 near the Quakerbridge Mall exits. No terrorist activity is assumed at this stage of the investigation. One fatality was confirmed by Lawrenceville Police, with the name of the mail carrier being withheld until the family can be notified. Surveillance footage from the parking lot of the popular Wawa convenience and food store nearby caught a grainy account of the incident. Day shift manager, Pete Welles offered limited comment, as he was hurried away to assist fire and police crews who have been surveying the area after the explosion with further details. Welles said, ‘It’s really, just bizarre. It looks like… like something just punched it’s way out of the mail truck, like an invisible torpedo. Then, seconds later, boom. The whole thing is up in flames.’
Wawa’s classic subs are $4.99 for a limited time.”
* A draft of a magazine called Inquisitive Finds, Issue #50, "CRYPTIDS in the CLASSROOM?". The cover shows an illustration of the Jersey Devil sitting at a school desk. Inside is handwritten “PROOF - FINAL DRAFT - ROGER”
On the back is a printed article reading as follows:
(continued from pg. 7, THE LAND OF ASHEN WASTE)
But it stands to reason that although we are allowed to believe that these children, all orphans of tragedy, found some sort of safety, maybe even some sort of happiness, that we, the general public, will and can never know what truly became of them. May the protective services and professional help they were withdrawn into help remedy and heal through these horrific, death-laden events. May they know peace and receive the help they need and so deserve.
[A picture of two boys in folded paper hats is captioned ‘Vincent (right) seen here during happier times.’]
Perhaps future inquiries and study may reveal just that: a happier ending, a new beginning (to their young, troubled existences). We managed to catch brief glimpses into their lives, to observe seemingly normal people with happy children, and witness firsthand incredible bouts of unfortunate luck, deranged shortcomings halting a family’s growth, terrible ailments manifesting into violence and death, and the ever-lurking presence of a predator hiding in plain sight.
As time moves on from the environmental disaster in a small Pennsylvanian mining town, and we sift through the ashes of a destroyed community, finding tales of despair and true evil that had lingered just under the surface, almost waiting for that grand metaphorical (and sometimes, literal) spark to reveal such monsters, we should take solace in knowing that the love and strength of our human bonds and relationships lie within us. That while these stories captivate us with their extraordinary pain and scope, that they had swallowed up the lives of people just like us, and with this knowledge we must always stand strong against such terror. May we forever fight against such evil and hold a stark light against the great, reaching darkness.
The credits at bottom of the page are partially obscured by a burn mark, but the following is legible:
Roger [obscured] the lead editor of the publication you have just [obscured] had the pleasure of perusing. While cryptozoology [obscured] …ured the imagination and interest of our editor [obscured] his life, the personal experiences and stories [obscured] close friends has given him pause and a moment to reconsider the nature of this zine.
Tape: "House Phone 2005"[]
Main article and transcript: House Phone 2005
House Phone 2005 is cassette tape found by Rabbit #061 (Discord user DixieWolf) in Box #7. DixieWolf recorded the audio from the tape recorder using the answering machine from Box #7 and her phone then uploaded it to Google Drive ('House Phone 2005').
This tape appears to be the answering machine tape of James and Maryann Corenthal. Among other things, it details Dr. Corenthal’s account of what happened at the diner.
Tape: "Tape 3"[]
Main article and transcripts: The Princeton Tapes: Tape 3
This tape contained 18 further recordings by Princeton Tapes Vince, adding to the collection found by theSharp0ne earlier in the year. They chronicle Vince's encounters with alleged UFOs and supernatural entities, as well as him meeting Roger, the editor of a Princeton Paranormal Magazine, and the subsequent investigations into paranormal happenings they undertake together.
Notes[]
- In 2010, DixieWolf shared on the Unfiction forum that she had dreamed of a letter covered in the roman numerals VII (seven). This foretold both the coming receipt of Corenthal Letter dated 10-27-1981, and DixieWolf herself receiving Box #7, over eight years later.
