During the "To the Mountain" episode i think the audio comes out to "...Were confused when they discovered what at first they thought was the mangled carcass of an animal... they hurried to contact authorities when they witnessed a human skull... the men who chose to remain anonymous say they've hiked the mout greylock trails for over a decade..." also other notes, the guy the radio sermon mentioned Charles Spurgeon was a real preacher in the mid 1800's, not a made up character with a cool name, and the series is set around MT. Greylock, Massachusetts

Matt dropping everything to tend to Ash’s nosebleed is probably one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen 🥺🥺 We don’t deserve them! 😭😭

[@juststrings1812]

Actually, I think the shift in the preacher's dialogue at the end means the protagonist is in trouble, an entity that means harm is nearby. The changing of the lights to me seems the protagonist already suspects something is up. Then the car speeds away as the dialogue gets darker and garbled, signifying running away from danger. (To be clearer, something dark is impersonating the priest at this point, taking the, "People do evil things thinking it's the right thing," idea to new heights.

[@hotmess6379]

When I was listening back at it, the preachers voice sounds different in the second part. In the beginning there is a lot of emotion and variation in how he's speaking, but when the protagonist is leaving the preachers, voice sounds flatter.

[@squedlly]

[@bubblybobabubbles]

OH! I THINK I KNOW WHAT ALL THE GARBLE WAS ABOUT IN THE SECOND VIDEO! It just clicked! From the bits and pieces I can understand, it seems like all the garbled words are from a news report of some kind detailing someone who found what they at first thought was a dead animal, but was actually a human body. At 20:00 , the garble, after a few non-decipherable words, is saying, "...when they came across what they at first believed to be the mangled carcass of an animal..." At 21:44 , "...then the hikers noticed a human skull..." (I can't tell what it says directly after, but it then repeats "a human skull") At 23:00 , I can't tell the first couple of words here either, but it says, "...who wished to remain anonymous, said that they..." and beyond that I can't make it out. Thanks to another comment, I've been able to piece more of this dialogue together! "...who wish to remain anonymous, say they’ve hiked the Mt. Greylock trails for over a decade, and while they’ve certainly seen their share of bizarre things over the years..." and beyond that I can't make it out, it gets too garbled. With all of these pieces it definitely seems like a news report detailing how a group of hikers (fits the mountain themed title) came across a decaying human body on Mt. Greylock.

[@Faunja]

Greylock, in my honest opinion, is one of the best analog horrors out there currently.

[@zeroseblooms]

I have to agree. While I do enjoy many types of horror here on KZbin especially analog, Greylock is one of the few that really, really spooks me. Possibly could just have the added factor that I happen to live in MA but either way the editing, audio, and ways details are given out aren't super crazy. This is a very nice paced analog and I can't wait to see the ending.

[@NikkiBudders]

I love the concept a lot, but I think some of the other analog horrors have more captivating presentations. I loved the little training video but the others were a bit bland to me. Religious horror doesn't really get to me so much. I'm interested in where it'll go next

[@zeroseblooms]

Mmmmm you have a good point with the religious aspect. A lot have been involving a religion, god, or a high power of some sorts which just ends up being repetitive. Many analogs have used the same things which is understandable considering lots of ideas have been used but the popular ones seem to be pretty consistent in the types of themes they have.

[@nicsosa369]

i'm surprised they are covering it, considering the demographics of their audience.

[@Grinner_J]

@@NikkiBudders whilst in Greylock there are, and are going to be references, to religion, without spoiling (if you have not seen all up to the recent releases) I'll just let you know that the themes don't become completely bathed in religion. In this case especially, I believe it's there symbolically to make you think about whatever else will come up, and to convey that something ain't right.

[@cheyennefox7394]

I kept thinking I was hearing faint screams at one point but then realized it was the wheezy breaths of me, an asthmatic

[@hannatude]

That’s the only way I can watch analog horror, lol.

[@cah137-y4s]

Greylock is maybe my favorite analog horror series since Gemini Home Entertainment. The Monument Mythos is a very close contender, but it's so surreal and experimental that it's hard to necessarily classify as analog horror anymore (not to mention the creator's tendency to delete large chunks of their content with no warning has left a bad taste in my mouth). This series feels like a direct evolution of something like Local58 and GHE, with a few notes of Vita Carnis and a truly fascinating premise that's all its own. I am so excited to see MatPat react to it!

[@adararogers2228]

one of the things I heard in the 2nd video during the end garbled sequence was "the devil is tight behind you" actually made me turn around TvT

[@VDiddy5000]

One big thing to note from the Thoughtform Tape is that those kind of beings can affect electronics, which makes the eventual distortions in the tape highly suspect, especially since those sections involve how safe Thoughtforms are and how they can’t possibly escape containment.

[@carpedm9846]

The "if youre not the intended viewer" is generally the last line of defense. Between workers, if anyone comes across this tape, if it somehow gets mixed up, that warning essentially acts as a label on the cover that lists a security rating. You CAN just open a top secret file if you have it physically, and the big red "CONFIDENTIAL" isnt going to stop you. But it will act as a warning if you are following the rules. Basically a "dont park here" sign. Its just a sign. It aint stopping you.

[@illyahrthebard3303]

10:00 I think he's asking it to "fetch" something. To retrieve certain data 12:35 Ash's nose starting to bleed as you get into this series is ominous lol 25:40 Observation: It looks like they are driving at normal speed, but the audio that they have been listening to is "slowed down." Is this meant to indicate the driver is going really fast by comparison? 30:34 A common superstition in Appalachia is that the things that lurk in the deep forests can mimic, or even alter, sounds. Common advice: you did not hear that and get home as fast as possible 38:20 Getting some Persona vibes on that 45:05 I think the distinction between ghost and thoughtform is that ghosts have to interact through a medium and thoughtforms can interact directly

38:47 Two? I used to have thousands! In all seriousness though, due to me being a typical little boy who loves action based movies, a lot of those 'imaginary friends' were cannon fodder for my action battles. I did have a few named imaginary friends that were more important to the 'story', so they survived just about everything. I never created imaginary friends as a coping mechanism for not having friends because when I was younger I considered anyone who talked to me to be my friend, but I know this isn't true for most kids. Regardless of whether or not you create imaginary friends as substitutes for real friends or just for play, it's a magical thing for a child. You will always remember the ones you gave names and personalities.
