Just wanted to share with you guys the steps I've taken on the backside to further investigate the spoon.

1. I have submitted both my pics as well as the ebay pics linked in this thread of the set identical to mine to Replacements.com which has a manufacturer/pattern identification service. Their website says it can take around 3 weeks before they get back with you. I submitted all of this to them about a week ago. I'll send a follow up if I don't hear from them in another couple of weeks.

2. I have located some one who is checking into the ability to do nondestructive microspectrometry on the fork and the spoon. They don't know if they can analyze such a big specimen so what they are looking into is whether they can perform the test on the intact utensil, or whether we would actually have to take a specimen from the utensil. The person I spoke with stated that if they can't get the whole utensil in the machine to do the testing, it most likely won't be of value to damage the utensil to get a sample because the results could vary from one area to the next and therefore a small specimen might not be indicative of the whole piece (contamination and such).

The idea of having the microspectrometry done was brought up by my dear friend who is a PhD chemist and has kept up with my ghosty stuff in RL with me. He is enamoured by the pristine nature of the spoon. He wants me to find out if it has residue of a cyanide cleaner on it. The reason being that the intricate detail on the utensils makes it near impossible to clean the build up down in the crevices with just a paste cleaner. In order to get the cracks as clean as they are on the spoon (they are entirely devoid of any buildup - it really does look brand spanking new) you would have to use a cyanide-based liquid cleaner.

Now finding the cyanide cleaner won't tell us all that much other than it could give us a possible explanation of what has kept the spoon clean, but at least we'd have that information and my chemist-friend would get his data. The more interesting information would be the comparative data between the spoon and the fork, I would think.

Anyway, I will share any information I get on either of these fronts as soon as I get it.

Well, I'm glad I waited until today to upload the images from night before last, because the same thing happened last night. Again, this may be some defect in my camera, but as I explain and show you what is going on, it perplexes me that it is only happening once a night.

Okay, first to how my webcam is operating. When it detects motion it immediately snaps a still shot. There appears to be some fraction of a second delay between detecting motion and the snapshot. Then there is a further fraction of a second delay as the video starts recording (but the first snapshot always precedes the start of the video by a very small amount of time). The camera will then continuously record for 5 minutes. About 3 seconds after the first snapshot (don't ask me why this delay and I can't find where I can change it) the camera takes a second snapshot and then a snapshot every frame until it has reached whatever limit I set. (Night before last I had on 5 snapshots, last night I changed it to 10 snapshots).

Okay, so there are always several activations prior to Springer going to bed due to him going in the kitchen off and on. He usually goes to bed about 1 - causing the last activation by him at that time. Then there shouldn't be anymore activations until I get up in the morning...barring a mouse I guess.

Okay, what I am showing from the log is the last activation by Springer at 1:11:39 a.m. followed by an activation at 3:52:54 by who knows what and then the activation at 5:54:51 by me.

Now, I'm going to link snapshots. First, this is the initiating snapshot on Springer's 1:11:39 activation:

And this is the initiating snapshot on my 5:54:51 activation:

img.photobucket.com...

Now, here is the initiating snapshot of the 3:52:54 activation along with the subsequent snapshots:

Please note the apparent over exposure of the initiating snapshot and please note it does not happen on the first snapshot of either Springer's activation or mine, nor does it happen in the subsequent snapshots of the 3:52:54 activation. Now, there is a little digital defect of sorts in the left upper corner which is why I wonder if this is something going wrong with the camera.

I have also uploaded the accompanying video for the 3:52:54 activation. It's a boring 5 minutes of nothing.

smg.photobucket.com...¤t=Motion-10-28-2007_3-52-54.flv

But then we get to last night. Again, several activation up until about 1:44 a.m. by Springer, one activation of unknown source at 3:31:56, followed by an activation this morning at 5:05 a.m. by me.

Here is the log:

I am not including the initiating snapshots of Springer and my activations this time (I do have them saved) but suffice it to say, they are not overexposed...only the first snapshot at the 3:31:56 activation is...while all the subsequent snapshots at that activation are not. Again, the little digital defect is shown in the upper left corner of the first snapshot.

As always, I look forward to hearing what you think about this.

P.S. To answer the inevitable question up front - no, there is no flash on the camera.

Yes! Finally I can actually listen to the EVP's! I've been reading this thread for several days off and on now and I'm on page 33. Thanks for the excellent log of the activity in your house; I'm just amazed that you've kept up with it for over 3 years (so far in the thread!).

Every time I get a chance to read this thread I get weird shivers (even before I saw any pictures of anything), and something strange usually happens (like a bang or just recently I looked at the security camera nd saw this strange green light in the middle of it, thought it was some kind of glare--and then it moved and looked like a person in a green hoodie...then it moved again and looked almost cthuloid--when I realized it was probably a spider (we have tons of them here) on the lense that the camera can't focus on.)

Whatever may be actually happnening in your house, Val, your reports are definitely making me more aware of what's going on around me! Thanks and I hope that by the time I reach the end of this thread, nothing bad has happened. Good luck and best wishes.
