CatGhost 2 Knock/General

CatGhost 2 Knock is the second episode of the Cat Ghost webseries. It was uploaded to the Cat Ghost Youtube Channel on on July 7, 2017 as the second episode of the Intro Saga.
The episode was accompanied by the game Joke.
This episode centers around Gideon getting cursed due to his inability to understand or write knock-knock jokes.
== Synopsis ==
The episode begins with Naarah trying to get the attention of Gideon, who appears to be in a trance. When she succeeds, she and Elon try telling Gideon a knock-knock joke, but he fails to understand both the concept of the joke and the joke itself, which angers Naarah and Elon so much that they banish Gideon into a small cell.
A letter tells Gideon that the only way to escape is to write a funny joke and slide it through the slot of the cell's door, a task which he fails to complete for 2 years. When he finally does manage to create a funny joke, the door appears to hypnotize Gideon.
After several disturbing images flash by, Gideon suddenly appears outside, still in a trance. Elon and Naarah, who are looking at Gideon, comment on how Gideon has been staring at the door for a very long time now, and decide to poke him with a stick.

Main article: Joke
The video description links to the download of the game Joke, where the player can knock on the mysterious door from the episode and enter words using tap code, which will reveal certain images if the right word was entered.
==The cell==
Gideon's cell is a simple stone structure with a single window and a door. When Gideon is teleported in, he is presented with a letter explaining his task, as well as a stack of paper and a stick to write on the paper with. With him in the cell is a skeleton, of which Gideon takes no notice. The cell also has writing apparently carved into the walls. 
On a wall to the right of the window the words "Megalith is key" are written.
The writing on the other wall is as follows:
 PARTES 
 WILD OF 
 THE WORLD
 IMDXLII MDXCVII
 MDCIV MDCXIII
 MDCXXVI MDCLIV
 MDCLV MDCXCVIII
 MDCCVI MDCCXXX
=== Roman Numerals ===
Some of the writing appears to be Roman numerals, standing for the following numbers:
 1542(Ignoring the first I, which may be a mistake.) 1597
 1604 1633
 1626 1654
 1655 1697
 1706 1730
The exact meaning and significance of these numbers or dates is unknown. They can be related to years when witch trials occurred. 
=== Wild Partes of the World ===
"Wild Partes of the World" comes from an excerpt from a book named "Remembering Jamestown: Hard Questions About Christian Mission".CatGhost Fan Theories: Episode 2 Analysis, YouTube 
The excerpt reads:Remembering Jamestown: Hard Questions About Christian Mission (2010) edited by Amos Yong and Barbara Brown Zikmund 
 A vast English literature on demonology 
 taught that Satan reigned in the world's 
 remote and primitive territories. 
 James I lent additional authority 
 to this opinion nearly a decade 
 before he ascended to the English throne 
 when he wrote that such "wild partes of the world" 
 were imbued with the presence of evil.
 
 And colonists did not dispute the assumption 
 that early seventeenth century Virginia was 
 one of the "wild partes of the world"
This excerpt in turn takes "wild partes of the world" from DAEMONOLOGIE, a dialogue written in 1597 by King James VI of Scotland and King James I of England.DAEMONOLOGIE (1597) by King James VI of Scotland and I of England
== Trivia  ==
* Prior to being updated to have both PC and Mac versions of the games, this episode's Youtube description would read "Knock Knock Gideon!".
* CatGhost 2 Knock is the only Cat Ghost video with official subtitles, however none of the characters words are subtitled, instead the subtitles are used to hide the word "libation" at the 1:28 minute mark.
** Libation is one of the 3 words seen in the episode that can open the door in Joke.
* This is the first episode to feature writing in the Theban alphabet.
* During the intro, a voice can be faintly heard.If the static is removed, the sound is reversed and the pitch increased, it will say "[chuckle] I don't know. I don't know where it's at. I think they've been looking for it for a long time but... [clears throat] Sometimes it just seems like we're never going to find it." 
* The letter that Gideon reads out in his cell is signed "Midnight Occult". 
* After the credits there is an animated screen of moving lava with yellow flashes appearing on it in different locations. By putting together all of these yellow flashes, the Skinwalker is revealed along with a message.
