January 2019

**January 18th** The AshVlogs instagram page uploaded 3 photos Distorted images, the first looks like people tied up and possibly gagged, the second looks like a security camera pointed into a room, with someone sitting half undressed on a mattress on the floor next to a sink. You can see a chair, some clothes and shoes scattered around the otherwise empty room. The third image appears to be a blurry view of underneath a building. Each image has pieces of broken up letters scattered across them. When combining them into one link it leads to these leads to https://streamable.com/a00mm Video footage, again distorted but appears to show a man in a hi-vis jacket and gloves spray painting the IKWSI symbol onto a tree stump.

The Ash Vlogs Youtube channel uploaded you are not afraid to die  A video showing happy\_drip in a room, with a mattress on the floor and a dirty sink. He starts out asleep but over the course of the sped up security footage he gets up and moves around. You can see him at the sink where he briefly looks up at the camera then goes back to the mattress and sleeps. He tosses and turns a few times before sitting up and putting his head in his hands. He gets up again at one point and puts on his t-shirt. He goes back to the mattress and puts his head under the blanket and it looks like he may be crying under there. He again gets up and gets fully dressed this time and sits in the chair. As he puts his head in his hands again the door opens. The footage moves faster and suddenly happy\_drip is throwing the chair across the room, the camera glitches and he is no where to be seen, however the floor and wall is full of blood.

Video Description: light them up (originally epic fire prank, which was removed from Youtube and reuploaded to Streamable) A dark room with white walls. The IKWSI symbol can be seen on a large white sheet on the wall. Two masked men drag in a person tied up in a blue tarp, you can see them moving and hear them panicing. One of the men is smoking as he pours petrol from a jerry can over the tarp. The person in the tarp is now crying. One of the men lights a flame and throws it on the ground, the room lights up along with the tarp and you can hear the person begin to scream.

Video Tags: drip from the walls just like them

Epic Fire Prank leads to: he's waiting for you. in the dirt. Another night driving video, a car pulls off the road and into Kuitpo Forest We can see someone start to dig and then bury something in the ground, covering it over. Captions appear in the video at this point.

This room appears to be the empty room that happy\_drip was kept in. Notice the dirty sink in the corner. A voice can be heard saying "hello drips, are we all having fun, \*inaudible\*, and now you want to see more, you want to see worse. go find him he's waiting in the dirt"

A mobile phone with a charger, an Art Journal/Diary and a VHS tape. More information on this can be found on the Kuitpo forest page.
