Wyoming

Sucks.

No, not really.

It's pretty average compared to the rest of the country.

I can not say why I have been called here or exactly what city I'm in.. Let's just say it's part of my work. Doing a little investigating about this possible case, though I'm not sure if I'll officially take it on. I may just leave it to the boys who took care of it last time..

Still no luck on that message.. The Google-Fu is not strong with this one. I may have to call around for some help.

In other news, I'm considering getting a Final Fantasy game. Something to preoccupy me during my down time. Not sure which one, there's like 20 of them..

...What? A 40-year-old man can't enjoy video games? Screw you, you little punks.

Oh wait, my birthday was two days ago.. 41-year-old, then.

....Punks.

An Early Lunch

I am currently sitting in one of my favorite cafes, taking an early lunch while I type this up.

Let's see...

Well, the last couple of days were interesting.

I went to a.. well.. let's just call it an Asylum.. I went to the Asylum a few hours away. I wanted to go in and see a couple of people, which I did. I had been lucky enough to get there at visiting hours.. Anyways, one of them was a good friend of mine who had unfortunately been stricken with the Propagating Meme and eventually committed.

Things were normal enough when I began talking to him. He was shivering, but that was normal.. With his current mental state, it was hard for him to control his own motor functions. Then he suddenly flipped out and began to scream at me in another language.. I didn't quite make out what he was saying, but as I was listening to him scream, I noticed something written on the wall behind him..

"Ra fru fyedc pareht dra fymm."

I've used quite a few translators, but nothing is coming up. I'll keep looking, though.

I went to see a couple of others, but it was pretty much the same thing.

The next day, I went back to take some pictures, but they wouldn't allow me in as the camera might disturb some of the other patients and could possibly be used as a weapon.. Will try again today, maybe I can sneak it in somehow...

Signed,

What I Do

I will be busy in about 10 minutes..
For now, I'm bored.

I suppose I could spill a little bit more about who I am and what I do..

"Paranormal Investigator" might be a little too broad to use to describe me, but it is also the most accurate term for my profession. While not a professional with a degree, persay, I do work as a freelance Paranormal Investigator, taking any cases that come my way. Basically, people leave me a letter, drop me an email, or call me on my personal cellphone, offering the chance to make money by investigating, and hopefully solving, problems that deal with vampires, ghosts, demons, things like that. More often than not, it's all fake.

I was once called on a case in New Orleans, Louisiana, where a gang of "vampires" had been causing trouble. They weren't realy vampires, though. Cosmetic surgery. Does wonders for one's appearance... Not that I've ever needed any of it.. Anyways, they had their teeth filed to a point, sometimes even fully replaced with fangs, they had contacts for different eye colors, etcetera etcetera. In the end, what they created was the illusion that they were vampires. When I told the police this, they went in and arrested the punks.

It's amazing what a little fear of the supernatural does to you.

Then there are those times in which the supernatural turns out to be real.

On my way back home from Louisiana, I stopped in Baton Rouge, having heard of this big fancy-shmancy mansion that suddenly burned down.. I went and investigated the ruins, but the police showed up and told me to get out of there.. Naturally, I was back the next day.. But the mansion was standing there as if it had never been burned down in the first place... I asked the fire station, the police, they say that place had never burned down.. As if it had never happened.. Not wanting to get involved with whatever pulled that kind of crap off, I high-tailed it and headed home..

Pretty exciting, though, being that close to something that may have been so powerful.. Mm.. Anyways, time to get going..

The Propagating Meme

Terrence Daly here..

Memes.

Whether pronounced Meem or Meemee, it is an internet-created phenomenonena in which catchphrases, characters, pictures, videos, and other such things become widely known and popular with many people and are often referred to and quoted many times.

Popular examples include but are not limited to:

Rickroll
PARTY HARD!
Double Rainbow (All the way 'cross the sky, baby)
Hide yo' kids, Hide yo' wife
Herp-a-derp
DO IT, FAGGOT
Don't taze me, bro!
and Justin Bieber

However there has been one certain type of meme that has defied all logic.. It is a living, sentient, propagating meme.

prop·a·gate


–verb (used with object)
1.  to cause (an organism) to multiply by any process of natural reproduction from the parent stock.
2.  to reproduce (itself, its kind, etc.), as an organism does.
3.  to transmit (hereditary features or elements) to, or through,offspring.
4.  to spread (a report, doctrine, practice, etc.) from person toperson; disseminate.
5.  to cause to increase in number or amount.
6.  to create (an effect) at a distance, as by electromagneticwaves, compression waves, etc., traveling through space or a physical medium; transmit: to propagate sound


–verb (used without object)
7.  to multiply by any process of natural reproduction, as organisms; breed.
8.  to increase in extent, as a structural flaw: The crack will propagate only to this joint.
9.  (of electromagnetic waves, compression waves, etc.) to travel through space or a physical medium.

I am unsure as to if this er.. "being", for lack of a better word, has a true name, so for now I shall simply call it "The Propagating Meme".  What it does is act as a meme itself. It spreads itself through word of mouth, pictures, audio, any form that it may transmit itself from one person to another (or many others), in an attempt to replicate and produce itself inside the mind of others, so that people can not help but to remember and know of it.

Why it does this, I do not know. It could be any number of reasons. It could become more powerful the more people know of it. It could use this as a form of reproduction (though I am unsure how it lives or thrives inside of people's minds or what would happen should it run out of people to inhabit). It could be planning to take over the minds, and thus the bodies, of every human.. Or it may just do it because.. well.. that is all it knows. It itself may not know why it does it, just that it knows it must.

What do I plan to do about it?.... Nothing, for now. I will observe this phenomenon.. I know where to find a few people that this Meme seems to inhabit and they have, regrettably, relapsed into a state of insanity, muttering nonsensical phrases that seem to relate to something that is "coming". Their minds were perhaps unable to handle some sort of strain that the meme may put on it's host's brain, or perhaps the meme purposely drove them insane.. Again, I am not sure and it could be any number of reasons. However, I do plan on finding out. That is my agenda for tomorrow morning. Will report more tomorrow, perhaps.

Me

My name is Terrence Daly.

By day, I am a paranormal investigator.
By night, I'm one hell of a lover.
I'm just a sweet trans--- wait, sorry, wrong movie.

By night, I am still a paranormal investigator.

I wasn't always a paranormal investigator.. I use to be a doctor... in training.. i use to be a medical student....

Well, that is about all you need to know about me.. for now. Perhaps if I feel up to it, I will give out more of my personal life.

Anyways, I started this blog as a.. well, a log about my current endeavor.. There is a phenomenon that I have been investigating that I believe others need to know about. I will explain more in my next post, however, as I am a bit busy at the moment.. I am on a lunch break and it is ending in 6 minutes..

Signed,
