WV Solitude

[Dante]

I noticed in the past couple of posts from the Dreamers on Craigslist that they both mentioned "WV Solitude," which made me curious.

So I search around and found a website:

http://wvsolitude.com/

From the meta description:

I've compiled all of the comments (from the map and the comments below) with some sort of directions for most of the locations.

There's a "Stuart" that posts there a lot. It's not that common a name. Could our old friend StuR been interested in the quiet places of WV, despite his decidedly anti-Luddite tendencies? There aren't any dates attached to the comments, so I have no idea if those were posted a long time ago, or even within the last month. So, is he dense enough to keep the same first name while in hiding, was this an interest of his before he died, or is this just a crazy coincidence?

Other points of interest (by no means complete):
There's apparently a screaming jenny haunting the Abandoned Gauley Line.
Big Mountain Lookout has an old "Outpost".
Brandywine Lake had a "surprising number of people" for a "special event". Sounds ominous to me.
Cass Railroad: "Actually, not true. Emmet showed me a path up from Snowshoe. Granted, not an easy hike, but I'd rather get exercise than ride a smokey train." Exu's Emmet?
Hilltop Gem: Misunderstanding about cabin location, or *hidden* cabin?

Edit: They seem to know the area pretty well, so I added Taylor Run to the site, along with a leading comment to try and get them to talk about what they think happened there in 1999.

Nice find, Dante!

Analysis: While this website has not shows any overt signs of infection by the Lucky5 malware, and does not appear to be directly related to the Chorazos Hacking Ring, it does appear to have some loose and possibly circumstantial relation to one B.A. Saint-Feline, As well as Devon Conrad, The Orlando Dreamers, and possibly the unknown entity known as "The Hidden" as mentioned by Devon Conrad in one of the first correspondances in which he directly addressed The New Sentries. Below includes a number of possible references to groups and / or individuals of whom we have little or no additional information on, and may constitute enough of a connection warrant further investigation:

Emmet

Emmet is referred to many times throughout the postings on this site, and appears to be one who is considered wise, and who these individuals see as an elder or leader among them, as evidenced by the following comments:

Abandoned Gauley Line

""A nice place until Screaming Jenny comes for you one evening. There's a reason Emmet tells you folks to stay away from there." - long timer

Big Mountain Lookout

"That's one of the outposts Emmet told me about back in '75. Didn't know they still even use it."- old timer

Cass Railroad State Park

"Actually, not true. Emmet showed me a path up from Snowshoe. Granted, not an easy hike, but I'd rather get exercise than ride a smokey train."- stuart

Droop Mountain Battlefield

"Don't let the state park fool you. This place is haunted by headless soldiers and spectral horses. It's like Emmet taught you: don't go no where you ain't prepared for."- old timer

Furbin and Greenbrier Valley railroad

"Do it, Karen. They only really run that kind of stuff for you hiders. Emmet told me it's some of the best sleep you can find."- long timer

Great View

"The lookout cabin is alot less busier in the fall when it starts getting chill. Emmet told me it was a fairly safe place to sleep, but I saw bears there once."- Stuart

Meck?s home Bakery

"I was eating one of Karen's cinnamon rolls when Emmet strolled in looking for the same thing."- Gary

Sleep (Quality of)

B.A. Saint-Feline and the Orlando Dreamers often make references to sleep, and dreams, and the city in which they exist beyond their dreams. This may or may not be related, however this site makes a large number of references to sleeping and / or the quality of sleep to be had in certain locations

Cass Railroad State Park

"Despite the smoke and cinders, I've never felt more rested. The whip up a fair meal in the Last Run Restaurant as well."- old timer

Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad

"Do it, Karen. They only really run that kind of stuff for you hiders. Emmet told me it's some of the best sleep you can find."- long timer

Great View

"The lookout cabin is alot less busier in the fall when it starts getting chill. Emmet told me it was a fairly safe place to sleep, but I saw bears there once."- Stuart

Greenbrier River Cabins

"Nice cabins, no need to hike to get to. Strange sounds from Cranberry, but I still sleep good."- Petri

Hilltop Gem

"This was my first cabin in WV. Lots of people rent it out, though, so it's hard to get for any length. I've never slept better, though.}- Gail

Jerico Bed & Breakfast

"Nice Civil War cabins for rent. See one ghost. Did not sleep well."- Petri

Old Clark Inn

"High speed Internet access means not sleep well."- Petri

Spruce Knob Lookout

"There's a radio tower not too far down the trail. You can hear it humming and buzzing, I couldn't sleep at all."- Gail

Miscellanious Connections

The following comments stand out as being loose connections to the writings of BA Saint-Feline and other potentially related items (such as computers / the web). These (as with all of the items listed above) could easily be a coincidence.

The Greebrier Hotel

"I could stand being around there, I think there's just too much computer junk in the basement, I could hear it all running all night."- melissa

Triple Sixes

"Six miles from Cass on Route 66, around the hairpin turn, sometimes I catch an echo of the hum.- old timer

Welcome back Obs, and with such a grand re-entry! I was trying to make sense of the new info, but it seems that you already have.

I may need to look into some of the places these people are talking about, or find some similar ones nearby. The lightbulbs are starting to bother me terribly, I get this freaky high-pitched ringing from incandescent ones, and others are a mosquito-like buzzing. It's bugging me to no end... And this whole situation isn't helping...

My brain hurts like a vampire in the sun!

[Mar_Vell]

from what I can see, the hum comes from any type of electrical equipment. This links them to the dreamers and BA who can't stand to be around said equipment. That's how they're connected.

So the hiders are people who hide from technology? Like BA?
