Week 5/Mailing 5

Time flies when you're hunting ghosts, eh? So, of all the things I expected to find in week four, it wasn't the bodies of Nancy's 3 friends buried behind a chapel wall. Crazy, huh?

I've spent a lot of time over the last week thinking about all of that and why someone would do all of that. It doesn't seem to match Tick Tock's M.O. Of course, that doesn't mean anything. It's just more of an observation.

So, obviously, after that sort of revelation, I had to try and establish contact with those 3 spirits. Fortunately, they all had objects included with their remains that I could use as trigger objects.

I focused on the string of letters I got from Kate first. The number of letters corresponded exactly to the number of times Sherry activated the lock and unlock functions on the key fob. If I assigned the lock and unlock results to the string of letters, Richard's instructions made perfect sense. I took all of the letters that corresponded to the lock results first and then all of the letters that corresponded to unlock in the order they all appeared in that string of letters. What I got from that was: Jantzen knows Tick Tocks name.

Of course, another objective this week was to gain access to Janet Watkin's locker. The main thing to take note of on Nancy's Ouija board directions is that the letter J is shown in the window of the planchette (what moves around the Ouija board). So the letter J is the starting point. Once I followed her directions around the board, I obtained the word: brochure

And wouldn't you know it, once I went back to where they were directed during that Ouija board session and looked at one specific photo with my magnifier I saw a locker combination written on one of the walls. I had already found Janet's locker number from some admin records. From there, I just needed to use the numbers I found to open it: 212361319

The final thing was to determine the final meals that Peter Poe prepared for all of Tick Tock's victims. He obviously knew what was going on. I'm not sure he wasn't behind it all (I haven't completely ruled him out). But, he definitely had some knowledge of what was happening behind the scenes at Veilwood. And what about the Blackledger file? What's all that about?

Anyway, Peter Poe gave us the password based on who got what meal: 1S,2T,3R,4A,5T,6J,7K,8T or stratjkt...straitjacket! Now, we just have to find that file.
