      Except for the investigator/psychic part. Recording is a huge part of that stick so I was thrown off by the investigator/psychic claiming it was odd. There are dozens of shows that participate in this travesty and an item they claim you should always carry is a recording device of some (even multiple) sort. So why did he say that? Is there something that is going to happen later that pulls that comment in? Is HE up to something unruly and just doesn't want to be recorded?

    Serious Theory: Nick knows the Stalker? He's always trying to keep them away from the woods, his black hoodie is very reminiscent of the stalker. If they hadn't had appeared in the same scene in the power outage, I would have assumed he was the stalker. But if Nick knows the stalker then that could explain how he's getting into the house and stuff.
    TL;DR : I don't trust Nick.

      Well, I guess the cat Furry, because I-- like most of us-- have no idea whether Nick Nocturne wears glasses or not. On account of his avatar having four eyes, I'd say that's pretty on the nose for him not to.

    The 11th grade "psychic para-researcher" kinda kills the storyline, amirite? I mean, why not just show him the bathroom footage from the event in question? The only thing significant about the "paranormal researcher" clip is the glaring realization that without it the rest of the series is almost epically believable.
    In any regard, it's very well done. Like you pointed out in the beginning, the interaction between the characters without anyone playing to the camera or the viewing audience seems very genuine. By today's standards that aspect alone is an anachronism which will never be portrayed or revived to this level of authenticity for those of us old enough to spot it.

    If I were a paranormal investigator and came all the way out to someone's house only to have them tell me "the shower was on by itself and that's it," I'd be pissed. He didn't even describe it properly, didn't explain the towel falling on the floor by itself even though his camera picked it up, didn't explain that the faucet was on too. And why didn't he explain any of the other things that have happened? If he was spooked enough to call an investigator, surely he must've noticed the other things.

He either should have fully committed and gotten a shirt that fits and worn properly (you can make one fit if you're OK altering it permanently), or gone with maybe a polo and maybe a custom "company logo" to place on the chest, or gone with some other shirt.

    I'm still fairly early into the video so I'll be proven wrong deeper into the video but I really feel like Mark is the "paranormal" entity. Not that he's supernatural but that he's the one doing everything. Awfully convenient he didn't want to go to the cemetery and kept spooking Nick about it. Then suddenly he's not home when he should be showering? Suspicious. The real issue is that Nick hasn't accused his brother of messing with him. Like. I know its cliche but the lack of it feels....weird

      Maybe his brother is just the kind of person who doesn’t mess with his family? I mean I have a younger sister and I never mess with her. Honestly I just help her with homework and gossip with her from time to time. Not to mention our older brother has never really messed with us. Like the “craziest” thing he did was take me on a motorcycle ride. Some siblings just don’t really mess with each other. So I wouldn’t completely write it off.

    This series is so good in SO MANY WAYS and then... It comes apart for a bit, and seems like it gets back on track. I'm just as hard on it as you, NM, because it's just so good and natural for so long. It's an inspiration to the genre in most parts.

    As a person who lives in the middle of nowhere in her own little house. Maybe I shouldn't be watching this lol.

    so far this webseries is amazing, the acting is good and it's genuinely creepy. this is like if Marble Hornets had a baby with Tribe Twelve or Blair Witch

    Wow. Thank you for putting a spotlight on this Nick. I'd say that this series is right up there with some of the best in the field. It is so refreshing to watch something that's so well made and incredibly effective. Can't wait for part 2!

    Gotta disagree about the quality of the break in staging. The glass from the sliding door is obviously just dropped on the floor, not broken from inside or outside.

      He even sounded like Roxas when he said, "Get back here!"
