Posts (2001 & 2006) and New Theories

Someone has added posts to my account. Or maybe they were always there? I can't even tell anymore.

They're obviously attempting to goad me with mentions of Jennifer.
It's clearly a very busy day today.

Now, for the more interesting and important components of this post.

Theories:

Since the Giant has begun following us (rather lightly), we've had more opportunity to study it.
Since I'm a Jack of all trades but an ace of few, a member of my team named CJ has chosen to help me. Highly intelligent and nice enough, she has an excellent technological knowledge and got a PhD in Theoretical Physics. She also seems to have a habit of looking at me intently when she thinks I can't see her... odd.

Regardless, her knowledge has been most useful. We're trying to ascertain the nature of the Giant, and obviously find ways of combating or defending from it. She'll probably end up posting on this blog from time to time, as well.

Firstly, returned to that underpass. Alex must have... done something to the Giant before his expiration, because some kind of residue was left behind. It was tar-like in appearance and... a little like treesap in consistency. My personal theory is that Alex overused his power and it destroyed him, but in doing so injured or at least slowed the Giant.
We took samples of the substance.

Theory: The substance is the blood of the Giant.
Test: Analyse for evidence of blood cells or other cellular structures both animal, plant and fungal in nature. Also analyse physical properties and if applicable elemental construct of the substance.

Theory: The substance is a residue of the Giant.
Test: Try and Taunt or Summon the Creature. Test for residue.

Notably, there are still some adverse effects on electronics near the underpass. Also, though I do not remember seeing any, metallic components of the area may have rusted in the week or so since the incident, though that may just be camera distortion of some form.

We also found two images on one of our cameras. I have no explanation for how they got there.

Perhaps some of the Giant's myths have an answer? Somehow, I'm doubtful.

Interestingly, tests of this camera show little blood on them (Alex's head imploded, there was... something of a spray.) and almost none on the lens - not enough by a long shot to lead to the first image.

Saw The Giant again. I would most likely have run if it weren't for my Spotify playlist.

Allow me to set the scene. It's my turn to go out and buy groceries for our group, and I'm striding confidently through the rain (I always preferred it to sunny weather, for whatever reason.) when I suddenly feel this... ominous dread-type sensation. (Note to self: test on whether or not this dread is the same for all victims, and if ignoring or suppressing it prevents visitations). 

Knowing what this meant, I sped up a little, got to the shop and bought everything, remembering to be really kind to the cashier (her mother died recently, freak-fire she heard.) and leave. About a minute and a half later, I see the Giant standing on a bridge over a river, which I have to walk past. So I ignored it. Weirdest part was how symbolic the music was;

I'll shamelessly admit to being a James Bond fan, and at that moment, the song Skyfall reached the part where it goes: "...You can take my name, but you'll never have my hea-a-a-art..." which of course felt fitting to my mood. (Note to self: Test effects of music during visitations, and possibly whether or not the HollowTree can be predicted through deja vu and the likes,)

The oddest part about this sighting was that the Giant didn't... 'feel' angry or sinister or happy to look at. It's whole body language suggested to me that it was solemn, perhaps even sad about what my fate may be? Who knows. I'm not entirely surprised the rain doesn't irritate him like it would a... well, anything else. Some folklore connects Him too it, in fact. Weird.
