blonde poker forum

Two weeks ago (ish) I found this in Settle railway station waiting room. Inside the video were 4 small items. Anyone want to guess? I am excluding the video itself :)

a condom
box of matches
old train ticket
the last rolo.

Condom
£5 note
One Match
Photo Negatives

One correct from two replys.

£20
A few pills
train ticket
Rizla

Can't believe how excited I am for the reveal, such a geek.

Have you put the video in to see if it is Sleeping with the enemy? Imagine the back story! who has VHS in 2011? could have been there for years.

Train ticket
A key
Money
Letter

Were the items things that would have been put there deliberately?

Ring
Drawing pin
old train ticket
Treasure map (one time)

I am not 100% sure, it might become a little more obvious once you all know the items in there and what happened next.

I have a video player, but i didn't end up taking the tape I left it in the waiting room behind the radiator! where i found it, minus the items.

ooooooooooooh (http://commonwealthbaptistchurch.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/cliff-hanger.gif)

Erm this aint too far off...

Key

Plan/Map

£20

rail ticket

$100 bills?

£50 notes?

A winning lottery ticket?

Julia Roberts' phone number?

a neatly folded towel

grains of sand

a hoody

et's phone number

ET's phone card?

What would you do with Julia Roberts' phone number?

Give it to ET?

I have no idea how long the video had been there, but it was hidden down the back of a 1930's large radiator. I had 15mins to burn so I was just looking around the waiting room.

I took out the Video and found:

£30 (1 ten 1 twenty note)

A condom

A note with co-ords on.

I knew the numbers were coords as I Geo-cache and we use them to navigate around with. Using my Iphone I soon sussed the GPS location was about 20mins walk north into and a little past Settle town centre.

Go there or wait for train?

gogogogogogogogogo please dont let this be a level

obv should be in the mini ship it thread as well.

lol I always find money, I tipped the fish and chip man in town an hour previosuly to this £2 so I thought it was karma at the time!

Waiting for train is not an option. You wouldn't believe how many times I turn the car around and go back to investigate an 'interesting' carrier bag or something on the side of the road.

One of these days...

This is just turning into one massive brag...

Please tell me it was a loan oak tree in the middle of the field, with a tin buried at the base??

Go there! Getting off train at St Andrews, old dear asks me to help her off with her 3 bags from the rack...'this one this one and this one'. Help her off with the bags on to the platform, she's greeted by some chap, maybe her son. I go back and get my bag, I'm the last off. They've left one bag on the platform, obviously going back for it (I'm too laden to help). I get to my car in the station car park and wait, but everyone has gone. I look back on the platform, there is no one there, but the bag is sitting there all on its own. I go back and picak it up, assuming she's forgotten it. Walk into the ticket office, explain to the guy, who suggests that I open it. Open it, to find
3 x passports, One has photo of youngish chap, and bunches of airline stubs for flights to Amsterdam.
5 x clear bags, each containing about 10 thousand pounds in Kuwaiti dinars
1 large dark sealed bag at the bottom, contents unknown.

What to do next?

Is the £20 note a current or old one? (they changed in the last few years)

Is the condom out of date?

Surely the location can be input into a smart phone. If it's a dodgy residential area prob just a cheap hooker.

If there is a tree in a field, take a spade with you

explain to the man that this is actually my bag, theirs is in my car, I'll brb. 

Clear off.

Check exchange rate so see if 10k in Kuwaiti dinars are worth something

I am not sure if the condom was out of date :) the £20 was new and I spent it at Leeds station later.

The above link it the place it took me too (fuk the train) the exact coords were the bench near the car.

Dig that shit up!!!

This is where is gets weird and a little out of my comfort zone...

eekk meeting back in 20

Take the condom off imo, still go and dig up the loot

i lol'd hard

rotflmfao

(http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo151/outragous76/spade.jpg)

   
1 Kuwaiti dinar = 2.33352523

I'm keeping it.

Celtic would be gutted.  He thought that "Kuwaiti Dinar" was a restaurant.

Did this happen to you in Real Life or is it made up?  Reveal whilst Acid is in a meeting please :)

Yeah, all real. Gave it to the station guy. Worst option maybe :(
Who carries huge money on a train luggage rack? Someone who can't be caught with it on them.

digggggggggg

Go back for the video, further instructions await ldo.

Dunno, I'd  rather have taken it to the police - don't you get to keep money thats been handed in if no one claims it?  If it's dodgy (drugs in package?) the police is the best place for it (unless you have buyers of course :D) but I'd rather they not come looking for me to reclaim the package.

Jus thought, Sleeping with the enemy = A young woman fakes her own death in an attempt to escape her nightmare husband.

Don't dig, its a dead body!!!! Fuck it. Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig and scoop the dorras

expert line. wpwp

Went to the bench, looked around to see if anyone was about (i was paranoid either a camera was on the bench or someone from the 1-2 houses was having a giggle). Then began searching the bench and after 5mins bingo a nan cache was hung on the underside of the bench..with a note in it.

(http://blog.geocaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/royal-mile-2-150x150.jpg)

Lies, all lies, not buying it anymore!!!!











So what did the note say??

Roll with it milligan, good fun.

Its true, not something unfamiliar in the geocaching world to have stuff like this, minus the £30 and condom though!

The note said (I don't have the note but its near enough):

Weekdays 9-4
Then it had an address under this...which was about 500 yards away, it looked like a secluded house next to some water.

I mean WTF....I was like shattered from walking at this point and there was no chance I would go to the house alone, no idea what would be waiting there for me..

Went to get the next train back to Leeds and its safe to say I didn't bother telling the wife about it, too many questions to answer :) Had some weird shit like this happen to me in my past, sadly no real exciting ending. Not really thought about what was on the video, but it still might be there.

right, you might not go there, but I will!

blonde expedition imo.

details pls :D

Grab a friend from Leeds and see this thing through to the end! have you googled the address? even if this is a level i have enjoyed it.

Is that where it ends?

Two possibilities of really exciting stories in this thread and neither concludes!

I wish I had the time right now to go back. Maybe over xmass when I got lots of holidays. Maybe the house is abandoned and another clue/item/note there?

Need to go with pocket-cam to video the whole thing!

The thing i find hardest to believe is that with 20 mins spare time and an Iphone you decide to look behind radiators instead of playing on angry birds or going online or something.

Make the time, get there and record it, its like a real life thriller.

lol I had a 1hr 30min journey home on train to play apps :) its a cool station really old and quiet so i like snooping :P

This is awesome.

Did you take the condom off before you got home...

I just spoke to my mate and he is up for going with me in the near future, with cam and phone to take pics...

this is one of the best things I've read in a long while .......you gotta do this

someone needs to go and get that video before whoever is supposed to pick it up gets there!

who lives nearest ...they gotta go

One of the Leeds massive should go imo.

Send Girdy ! ill chip in $5

if we get there only to find a 'sorry, too late' note, I'll be furiousssss :D

Our trains pass through there all the time. I could ask around to see who is working one that I know.

has anyone been yet ffs .....i would be there if i was not in Leicester

come on leedsrhodsey girgy etc ...get there

just came on to post same.  4.5 hours from here but I'd even be semi-tempted if someone wanted to come along for the craic and chip in for petrol.

i was thinking same but i at dtd later if i was any closer id be there like a shot

we're deffo contenders for 'nosiest blonde' in this year's awards :D

girgy stop reading this and get driving dude!!!

which station was it?

settle.  gogogogo. 

meh too far its about a 60 mile drive :(

The note, condom and money are not in the video i took them. The video may or may not be there still and not refiled? i wouldnt wanna go on a whim :)

but i neeeeed to know what's on it!

this Geocaching is a different world, Oh a sheltered life I have lived.   Love it.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSiFXhrxE3Y

Check popular geocache sites to see if logged?

its not a cache, or at least an offical one.

If you didn't tell the wife ( think that's what I read) did she not ask why you had a condom on you.

it went in bin right away...

What you didn't even use it for a POSH CRY WANK?
 :dontask:

.

dont end it like this ffs

what ?!? you should have kept it. Now you'll never get pass the evil wizard on level 7 who can only be defeated by ....

There's only one contender for that award.

:)

lol.  i'll aim for runner-up then.

Vwp sir

Needs more love

lol agreed. I am heading there in a week or so with my friend and we will be tooled up and have cam with us.

 ;applause;

Blonde Witch Project ftw

more details pls

All above board and legal M'lord. But some stuff that means whatever we encounter we wont end up tied, bound and gagged..:) Had some weird trips on walks in the countryside and a few have lead to us getting chased by someone with a pickaxe/large knife.; You can never be too carful lol.

Tried a quick Geocache after reading this topic. Was sooooo much fun. The one I did was in the middle of Mansfield Market Square, so had to be really discreet. Really enjoyed it lol

Do you have a plan on how to approach it?  Are you going to knock on the door if it's an occupied house?  


Geocaching is great fun.  If you have a look on the main site, you'd be amazed on how many there are, they're all over the place.  There's one right opposite my house on a road sign that's been there for a couple of years, amazing.  My little girl loves it, it's fun treasure hunting.

Yes there are caches everywhere! so no walk in the countryside or town has to be dull. My little ones too young for it right now but in a few years we will be caching again. I planted one in Leeds park square it gets about 2-3 finds a week.

What would a 'cache' usually contain?

Is it just a log sheet saying congrats or something similar?

Or does it generally give a clue to another location and the find goes on etc?

Can be any of those.  Often it's a log on who's found it.  Others have items that can be swapped, nothing expensive, keyrings are common.  Some have disposable cameras in them so you take a snap shot when you find it.   You can get some that are a series so when you find one, you move on.  The possibilities are endless.

You'd be suprised on how popular it is.  They're all over the world and in every location you can think of but unless you know what to look for, you'd never know.

I love the multi stage caches, i had one called "Mouse Run 1" "Mouse Run 2" "Mouse Run 3" "Mouse Run 4", you had to find the coords in the first 3 to open the locked chest in the 4th! it was pretty popular.

Fav cache is at the cow and carf near Otley/Ilkey, you have to find a cach which has a 20 foot rope with hook on, where you go to the cliffs and in the right place lower it down to pick up a small container with the end cache in.

Hardest cache, a deep cave near Derby where I had to squeeze into tiny tunnels to find a cache, really dangerous.

Went at weekend, didn't go to plan. Will post when I finished my morning work meetings.

oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Hurry, hurry......

sigh, great, got stuff to do, now have to just sit in front of my computer hitting refresh instead

it's gone 12. surely morning meetings are over?

Ban for slowrolling imminent.

Ban hammer!

It'd better be good

Provides us with an additional problem then though, as he wouldn't ever be able to post the result.

;carlocitrone;

lol..yeah I had 40+ emails to wade through and meetings :( ok back

This Saturday we decided to go to Settle. Me the wife and the kids, I did a jedi mind trick and pushed her to thinking going to settle was a good idea and that she came up with the idea. Yes the markets lovely and the family pub is great to relax in, so off we head there first thing in the morning.

We get to the Station and I tell her I will be 5mins, to check train times etc...so off I go into the cloak/waiting room to look behind the radiator.

Video is there. Stuffed down the very bottom, its either fallen or someone has tampered with it. I pull it out and there is a note in there.

"Enjoyed the money?"

Under this is the GPS location coords again.

Now I really wanted to grab the video but with the wife watching me I had no chance, so the plan was to pick it up on the way back.

Zero chance on this trip to visit the GPS location, so we went into town and had nice time. Fast forward 2hrs and I bag the video place it under the pushchair. I have the video at home but need to set-up our video player I have not used for years to see what's on it.

Sorry nothing major I will try watch it tonight

Now i know why women love soaps. Gripping!

Get that shit watched.

Have you not told your wife about it?

FYP

yep. ^^^ this

Nah, not yet. I might do so in the future but normally with our lass its more simple to just say I found £30 :) She would be the type to just throw the video in the bin and spend the £30 without any sense of adventure or intrigue.

whoa whoa whoa

this was misleading!

grumble grumble!

cant wait for the "i was just putting the video in when the wife unexpectedly returned home and I was like a 14 year old trying to eject a porn tape and stash it under the sofa"

Beware the fast finger lol

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4E1T-O83sE

THIS

someone tell acdmouse how to convert the video in case (like me) he doesn't know....

It Continues.........

Did it get watched, if not, fedex that shit to me and we can do a live stream watching.

This is the worst slowroll in history c'mon get in watched or send to Milligan please

Yeah I know both my kids got cold so had to look after them last night and by the time I was free my wife was asleep in the room with the video..will try again tonight.

after all this excitement i bet it's bloody sleeping with the enemy and ET

Isn't the excitement the address and or GPS points?  That is where the trail lead too wasn't?

The video was just the "carry case".  Think focus needs to be on the GPS directions.

Anything with a funny looking alien is alright by me and I can live with ET.

Managed to watch it last night. Video players sure are slow compared to sky+ :(

Seemed like a normal film "Sleeping with the Enemy" at first and so I fast forwarded it to the end, this is where it gets fuked up.

There is what looks like a web cam/security cam footage of people (one man alone, then a group of three people), opening a large door into a building. Both times they knocked and I can't really see if someone comes or they just push open the door themselves. The footage only lasts about 2mins but you don't see them come out.

After this the "ET" runs and there is a message after it. It looks like a movie maker package on a computer with text moving across simply saying "Are you Ready?"

WTF is this bullshit. I started getting a little paranoid so opened up the video cassette to make sure no tracking device or chip in it :) you can never be too sure imo.

STFU. i don't believe a word of it but i am still giddy like a kid on xmas. Get them CoOrds

Yeah it sounds like bollocks, I aint fussed if people believe it or not. I think its just a game someone is playing but i got the £30 a a giggle from it. Doubt I will go back now esp since the notes lost, cords lost and video destroyed. Maybe they will realise this and replace it in the near future, sure expensive for them if they do.

Surely the coords or still saved on your iphone or whatever? no way can we end it like this. This could be thread of the year imo.

Erm they might be I will have a look, used goggle maps to get to Ripon at weekend but it might have history. I have a good idea where the final cords are anyway.

Don't let this be the end plzz..

I deffo would of cacked myself tho...

fyp

http://fi.somethingawful.com/is/img7/1855/ThisThreadDelivers.jpg

We've got the google maps image of the bench somewhere in this thread haven't we?  Someone get their arse down there and check it out please. 

Thread had so much potential, poss BiB imo

thread has to continue.

Advent calendar spots still up for grabs !  Finish it.

Yeah much as I would like to go off there and see what's the score; there are a few stumbling blocks.

If owt happens I cant run, due to 4 knee ops in 12 months only just starting to walk properly so if shit hits the fan I am screwed.

Time, I aint got much of it. Two little ones, a house move various work stuff coming up.

If I was single I would have gone the next day for sure, but its not like this will float away and I cant visit it sometime in the future if i want. I have the final coords from the bench, everything else has been thrown away so unless the stuff has been placed back its ok.

What I will promise is if i can go with someone in the near future I will record it with flipcam :)

Amazing. No way I would be going anywhere near the place. I wouldn't have gone back for the tape though tbh.

Glad leatherman said he'd of cacked himself.

Big +1

Wouldn't go by myself obv, but if it wasn't so far away, I'd be well up for a bit of sneeking around

if anyone wants to stake me to  finish this for acid i am game
you only live once

Yes fella, finish it off..

(http://wtfcontent.com/img/130200663688.jpg)

what kind of stake would you need?

colour me intrigued..

transportation cost i am more likely the person furtherest away from this but still in the uk

please do this...........this has gotta be done i in for a tenner how much for train ticket ?? get there like this weekend???

this weekend would take 16 hours by train round trip and cost £123 without the cost a hotel room i think i might need surely someone closer could do this

girgy a taxi driver that way we all pay him imo

Where is the bench exactly?

Its on the outskirts of Settle, middle of nowhere. I took the coords from there and tbh i wont be giving them out;  if someone goes and owt happens to them then i am responsible. I will be going just not sure when.

ooer all very exciting and stuff still but I think i'd be a cissy and leave it alone now - dunno what type of people might be involved in all this.

Please post them on the morning that you do go. Will give the Police somewhere to start their search.

and just thought it might be worth mentioning that this thread is the first thing returned if you stick the following words into google:

video radiator waiting room settle railway station

I've got next week off if anyone fancies an outing to settle?

lol strange googlewhack

Wonder how common it is.

it's not a googlewhack, just the top result.  was just putting myself in the minds of the people who put the video and stuff there, and if it had gone missing I might do a bit of a google to see if anyone on the internetz had mentioned finding it

Jeez, even adding Acidmouse doesn't make it a Googlewhack

I dont believe googlewhacks exist anymore without filtered searches!

slowroll after slowroll, give em to Girgles. he goes and gets to the bottom of this/something happens to him. Win Win.  ;)

+1

Tomb raider to be realised with a real life wrd geocaching so I just read.

Ffs thought this was it .......... ;madasahatstand;

Sorry!

Just read this thread and WOW! Can't believe no one has taken this any further yet. I don't have a cachething but if someone can lend me one I'm waiting for confirmation of 2 gigs at the Frog & Bucket in Manchester/Leeds area in March so I'm up for it.

No one will suspect a middle aged female as being involved in this - bring it on.

My plans were scuppered over weekend due to man flu laying me low. But i got free day Sat.

live updates on sat please

fyp

yeah, even better

and can you wait until about 2pm please? I'm busy til then

I am taking on the trip:

Friend. 6ft 4. Willing to slap people if needed  be my wingman if trouble arrives.
Flipcam (to record the house entry etc..)
Iphone (with flashlight app installed, if its dark in the house)

Baton if needs must, for entering closed door or getting trapped.

(http://lawenforcement-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/baton11.jpg)

£40 for fish and chips and beer money (after the event).

Lol, incred. Thread firmly back on track. Get this done!!!

oioiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

*excited*

we need "24" style live satellite surveillance

cool. Shoot it in night vision to give it that eerie edge

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 
so looking forward to this

 ;yippee;


 ;cheerleader;

 ;karabiner;

 ;thankyou;

wiiiiii finally, can't wait... gl
 ;yippee;
 ;nemesis;
 ;popcorn;

finallllllllly!

oooooooooo

Acidmouse, if it all goes wrong can you contact one of us via a medium to put the other thread to bed?

wot no updates

Someone phone Derek Acorah - we need to know what happened.

And make sure he ain't locked in some cellar or worse...just sayin

Yes another slowroll. My friend who was to go with me had an accident. He does abs fukall all day but smoke weed and play xbox somehow managed to break his foot stubbing it on door. Trip delayed.

are you sure he's the best person to take with you?

lol..not many of my mates can or would bother coming tbh, its hard enough to get time off from the kids/work etc...:(

depends. if he plays COD all day then he's ideal, if he spends all day on barbie plays dressup then probs best off without him

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JRG6ic5vqjM/TUHMnAKn5BI/AAAAAAAABKw/cwcrwKpwBt0/s1600/103.jpg)

hope not! or i have too

Nope sorry meant to go over there a few times but either family stuff came up or moving house crap to deal with.  Now we
Moved this week and nothing
Major happening and am making plans to go out there, still have all the gear at mates camera etc. will let people know the date when going

if you've had time to move house then so has the crazy psycho killer you're going to see. get a move on

I actually went to this yesterday on a day off..I went with my mate tooled up..

Report to follow just super busy with kids/work atm..

I didn't die which was nice.

Footnotes for those who forgot about this story:

I found a hidden package in a station. It contained a video with instructions to go to a house on the outskirts of settle via GPS location. The house had camera's with footage of people coming to it and entering the house on the video. It was creepy. It had money in it which i spent on beer at a pub in settle.

It took me a long time to go back.

This is like watching a film right until the end but getting inturpted before you finish. Then fogetting about it completely.

Feeling like I've just pressed play again.....

Maybe they took gatso?!

Please don't wait another 5 months to fill us in ffs!

This I thought I'd missed it

Another slow roll !!

why am i still waiting?

Most tilting thread ever on blonde?

FFS!!!  Saw new posts and just assumed he'd finally got around to telling us the tale.  We've the king of slow rolls here.   ;nemesis;

This.

Was one of the first threads I read on blonde. Probably be the last by the time it's finished!

I'm expecting a final outcome that involves Sadako.

Actually gave me a severe case of the willies, that film. The Japanese version especially.

Come on ffs..  ;popcorn;

Yeah I didn't want to put the full story up without doing it justice and this weekend has been manic..3 year old with broken leg + 1 year old taking them to party, shopping, keeping them happy is full time jobby as wife just had knee op :( Got to take little one to LGI tomorrow then work so busy hoping to get it up tuesday.

Ffs. .......

(http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/hand-gestures/hurry-up-smiley-emoticon.gif)

Can't believe I've missed this thread til now.

Epic stuff.

Ha!

Never heard of geocaching until this thread.

Did a little research and it turns out there is a cache here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=04bc8218-917a-4b6e-a735-0f5b8972822b which was basically at the far end of the garden of our old house.

Explains why there would quite frequently be people looking around like they'd lost something!

SICK thread!

Tilting enough reading it all at once with all the slowrolls, can't imagine experiencing it in real time like you lot did :D

Subscribed.

+1.....I just sat and read entire thread in one sitting....incredible but come on ffs.......

I think we are all part of a social experience that it being conducted by acid mouse!

How long can you drag out a cliff hanger before people get a)annoyed b) fed up c) dis engaged

Very much intrigued..

Don't encourage him ffs!  It's going on nearly a year and we're still here. 

I've spent the last three months going to every charity shop in the country to hunt through the VHS section.

Costing me a fortune.

Anyone want to buy Rosemary Conelly Collection or Sharpe series 2?

Red Dwarf Smeg Ups?

Ghost 2?

epic thread is epic

I'm out!







At least until the next update.

Just checked wow Laxie your correct almost a year .......

Said this almost a year ago. I will no longer be a part of this.












So what happened?

Ok, I got my mate Sibby to come along with me on a trip to Settle, as he is a dolite I had to pay the two £12 day returns from Leeds. The £12 was a no brainer and worth the investment as he is very big, up for anything and backup for me if owt goes wrong (at this point I am still in two minds weather it was going to be dangerous or not).

He had a concealed baton (see pic) I had my iphone and £40 quid to cover beer and grub. Also the coords for the cache and house I never went to the first visit. I put the coords into the map app and had a very good idea how to get there from Settle, I guessed about 20mins walk would be fine.

It was about 7am we setoff and it was flipping freezing, I told the full story to Sibby on the way there so he knew what to expect. I know it sounds silly but checking the back of the radiator in the station again had never crossed my mind, but Sibby asked if we should check the spot again. Erm sure, didn't expect anything but was worth a peek.

We got off train and the place was dead, dunno what Settle is like but I guess most people leave it to go to work elsewhere, the station was quiet so we went to the room and put my arm down the back. No Video, but there was something wedged right as bottom, out comes the baton and I slam it down so the item pops out the bottom.

Before you could count to 5 the item was open and it was a cd/dvd looked blank with some writing on front of it. "Sleeping Beauty 2011?" in small writing on the back of it and i mean tiny, very hard to see was a list of coords..

Now this is where it gets fuking weird. I know its not normal upto now but the coords were:

42° 26' 05"N   83° 59' 06"W

I ask you to go to google maps and zoom into what it is called.

Curiouser and curioser

hahaha stfu. So good. I want the film rights.

So we have hell in a handbasket referance and a film I assume on DvD/cd. I google the movie and it looks like a bag of bollocks tbh, don't understand why its there or what it means, but before we plod off to the house I wanna see whats on it.  We go to a local hotel/pub where I know there is a TV room, pretty private off the main food/bar area.

We order two full English breakfast and put in the DvD. Anyone who has used movie maker knows the annoying titles that go across the screen well this had some that was something like "Glad you came back, enjoy the movie", we watched like 30mins of the movie which was about some women selling herself to old geezers in a large house. Sibby is pissing himself and starts to think this is a setup by me. I told him if I was going to set him up with a prank it would'nt be over an hour away from Leeds and costing me money.

We plan to finish up and go for the walk to the house...i put the cd in my coat and we setoff..

How much later .........

I only started reading this yesterday and already it is taking up wayyyyyy too much of my waking thoughts.  Please just put us out of our misery.

0 danger I would pursue anything like this, but intrigued read all up to now

Feel like shit with man flu, so it wont be long and interesting just the facts.

Left pub and walked up to the North of settle, it goes into countryside really quickly and from cobbled streets to small windy roads. Nice views over the town and railway. Lots of walkers already out and me and my mate stand out like two melons, I have a bright orange Giants baseball t-shirt and jeans, not great walking clobber.

GPS tells me to head down a path near a waterworks house/site and we see a pretty large mansion just beyond it, tucked into the tree's hardly visible until you get within 50 yards of the front entrance. There is a large saying private road don't enter, obv we just walk straight past it.

As we get to the house the GPS says we here. Ok house looks old and maybe a 10 bedroom jobby, no sign of life or cars. I tell Sibby to lets look around the outside first before we try to enter. We climb over a fence and go into the back/garden. Its pretty mental garden almost like a secret garden overgrown, paths leading into tree's, a few doors in huge walls (locked) and what remains of a play structure, swings etc. Nowt special.

Looked through the windows into the house and it was really dark, mainly due to the woods around the house, the sun was minimum. Back door locked. There was however stairs leading down to a cellar of some sort. Sibby went down and looked in, a few boxes, door locked.

Time to go to front of house and see if we can get in. As I knew there had been a camera looking at the front entrance we looked up and hey presto we could make out a tiny camera just under the guttering, no lights on or sign it was working.

Odd thou there looked like a new bell on the front entrance where as the rest of the house looked well knackered. Baton on standby I rung the bell. We could hear a faint chime from the house...no shit its the theme of one of my favorite films

Sibby confirmed to me it sounded like that too, see we agreed :) No response, another ring and we waiting. Interesting the camera on the door now had a faint red light showing, was it filming us? Previous footage I had seen on the tape showed people ringing the door and entering, wtf was happening and why didn't the door either open or someone in?

Getting a little hacked off now, Sibby never one to hold back had a cunning plan. I was up for going back to Settle and having a few jars of beer, Sibby was having none of it.

We went to the back cellar stairs and door and kicked it in. Took a few goes but it smashed al'reet. Again glad I brought my mate :) Cellar was kinda weird, empty fireplace, looked like almost a self contained flat, servants quarters perhaps? Old Dumb waiter looks like never been used for 40+ years. No furniture to speak off, that is until (this spooked me) a hand basket empty. (see GPS reference to devils hand basket in prev post). The basket was also new and I mean new, clean. I just don't get what it meant or why it was empty.

Go or try get in main house upstairs? I was pretty confident that the house was empty, so we went up the stairs to the main floor. The problem was the door at the top of the cellar was locked and about as strong as you can get, no give and little room in a tight spot to kick it.  So Sibby has a cunning plan to see if the dumb waiter works...

There was a pulley system to lower and raise the waiter, so we yanked it down to see if it worked, yep fine after 20 or so pulls the thing is on our level, but its beyond tiny, our plan to get in it and one of us pull it up was a non starter. It was full of spider webs anyway no chance it would have been me.

I am now really angry and wanna smash something, I dunno what I expected to find but an empty house with no clues or good stuff was not one of them. Sibby wanted to smash a window and go in..and that's what we did.

Back of house into what looked like a large dining area, boom in. Again nothing special in the house apart from cobwebs and a smell of dampness. I went along up to explore the room where I thought the camera was installed looking down on to the front entrance (please remember the house must have had 30+ rooms easily over 3 levels and numerous ways to get around. Two mins later i am looking at the camera and see its hooked up to a battery and some sensor, no leads elsewhere. How is it recording? erm dunno about that.

Only other thing of mild interest in the whole place was a few videos similar to the one I found at Settle station. Exactly the same title and packaging. My mate pulled down the camera and smashed it with the baton. I think he was under some illusion something exciting was here, but I guess not. Unless I am missing something/ clue or step to the next stage? I have a few photos I took on my iphone I will go over again and check to see if I really did overlook something. I have the cd with sleeping beauty 2011 on, as of now I have not gone through it all so I guess there might be something on it at the end.

It was now an hour in and around this house and we had not heard anything from the area, no cars, wildlife or anything to spook us out.

We went back into Settle and got very drunk on some local brew's. Sorry all no fairytale ending unless I find something to take me back again.

Decided not to post pics or owt just in case someone does us for breaking windows/doors, i will just say I made it all up anyway :)

you took too long they stopped killing people last year

for donations I will go back and dig the back garden to see if there a buried people...i am skint and not going back unless something else pops up to make me.

I remember now why 'Lost' annoyed me so much at the end!!

As this was real life the ending was what it was, couldn't manufacture one for you :) sorry.

Fair play to going back and kicking in doors an windows, get some pics up and upload that vid.  ;hide;

At least we had an ending .....are you sure your not actually dead ....and his is all in our heads !!

You found a few other videos tho? Did ya take them?

Calling bullshit on the "very drunk" - £40 minus two breakfasts doesn't leave enough money for getting very drunk.

in Yorkshire pints are cheaper than the shite I have to pay and drink darn sarf. £2.15 for local beer :) yummy.

You can't have been a student.

Yes, sadly I don't have a video player at home so couldn't watch them so was gonna throw in the bin until noticed in tiny letter i can hardly make out, i zoomed my camera 50 times and this is the image i got:

Next Step?

other vid had in the same spot under the cover coords to:

This must be 40+ miles from settle easily and I have been to once about 5 years ago caching. There is a series of caches up the path along the old mines and its really really exposed and cold, right up on the Moors.

Its a old mine near Grassington, with loads of old tunnels and really spooky, went with wife and there are mine shafts and tunnels that look dangerous and inviting to look around. The exact spot of those coords if I can remember is a huge tower, used for some mining process or shelter in the 1800's. About 2miles from Hebden.

[ ] Chance I am going there. It's a right load of bollocks and I believe some form of treasure hunt game that was done last year by others and left abandoned now.
