Since I'm a curious sort...I'd love to see how many people own and have solved/failed the various boxes! I'll share the aggregate info if I get enough responses!

A question of how solving has gone...

11/03/2020

Did you know that the Trembley line lives on? Dig through the newspaper from October 2018...

25/01/2020

Did you know that while investigating the murder of Belo Cross...he was investigating the murder of Sydney Isaacs also known as Susan Isaacs, the name of an ICARUS model in Forrest City that attended the Bacchus Grand opening in August of 2016? That is the same grand opening that many people swirling around several Forrest City conspiracies attended...coincidence? Perhaps....

Did you know...Dark Lizzie took care of John The Hermit at the Connor Settlement Home before he died and read to him from a Poe essay, “The Poetic Principle.” This was just one year before the Ripper would murder her! Coincidence?

Sorry for the lack of updates, buy we here at The Metamystery Industries, Inc. had to deal with Life-Stuff(tm) the past 2 years and are now working our way to catch up on our backlog of Forrest City mysteries! To follow along: the cover page of this site is the box we are currently solving, and you can see our case write-ups at A Price To Pay Investigations!

This also means we halted work on the fan-made RPG for the nonce...but plan to return to it in mid 2020!

For non-mystery related fun (blatant plug), you can read the draft copy of the part of our novel we are writing at Bryson Sphere! Feel free to read, comment, and leave editor notes! The more feedback, the bigger the chance we will actually get back to the writing desk for some new chapters! ;)

Interesting, the Thorn Lighthouse had exactly 214 steps...Angel Number 214 is a message that you are well supported by the Universe and the Archangels. The Basilica of St. Michael was opened/built in 1812. The Lighthouse was then completed in 1825, perhaps those who found the Bones of Angels wanted to make sure that they controlled this important path in and around Forrest City for their protection. A catholic priest is still, to the date of this murder in the 1850s visiting the island to minister, or perhaps keep an eye on things.

Hello fellow detectives, sleuths, citizens, and the curious! We here at the Metamystery Experience are about to work on our third in our retrospective series...Coraline! Please share any memories, interesting tidbits, metamystery implications, and other thoughts you have around Coraline with us here, so that we can incorporate as much as possible in the article! You can find the first two in the "Notes" section on this page for Archon and The Raven! Also, let us know what you like/don't like as we continue down this series...

Also, leave a comment if you have (or haven't) done Coraline, or if you only did Rachel, and if you solved it correctly or not!

See you strangely, soon!

Anne Strand...an alias...a family of aliases? Who was she? Her neighbor claimed to see her in a picture on the Orient Express alongside other people...so who was she? Caroline Hubbard, the American?

Has anyone figured out anything about the ouroboros from Bedlam Asylum? Currently trying to figure that one out...

05/11/2018

Currently investigating Bedlam Asylum. Back soon. Be ready to discuss...

02/09/2018

The caduceus...again and again the intertwined slithering serpents wrap there bodies around this city...perhaps it isn't just a recent thing, perhaps what seems innocent in 1892 is a precursor of things to come, a beginning of a cult, or something even worse! Or, perhaps, it is simple coincidence.

Doctor Harland Cox, Jr....just a doctor?

What do you think?

Who was Annabel Lee?

Was she just a random model who happened to be killed by the Raven? Or, perhaps, she was something more!

A few facts to ponder:

1. She had a caduceus tattoo on her upper thigh...a symbol we have seen before in the Archon investigation and one that continually pops up.

2. She was investigating strange events in Forrest City and tried contacting someone known as the "Acolyte of Arcanum." She knew she was in peril, as she hid this information carefully in her lipstick.

3. Speculation: The caduceus tattoo leads us towards Blusson's research, and "Arcanum" seems very similar to the "Arcane Foundry" at Archon. Once word leaked out about what Blusson was working on, his life was in danger and he became a target. I speculate Annabel Lee was friends with someone on the inside of Archon and also knew what was going on, and someone, someone in power discovered this and set the wheels in motion to set the Raven on her.

What are your thoughts?

29/08/2018

Did you know that there are forces or families in Forrest City that have, for generations, stoked the beliefs in the supernatural? Why do this? Why the facade? What could they truly be hiding?

Angel Bones? Krampus? Possessed dolls? Obviously these cannot be true.... But what other explanations are there? What are your theories?

Call-out to the fans! Please rate and review this page! (Unless you don't like it...then you never read this!)

Did you know...the new management team of this site are only up to the Ripper box...so all future posts and comments will only contain spoilers through The Lost CIty until we catch up further (working on it...)

Feel free to read our case-files, in character, at A Price To Pay Investigations. Please like and follow... [end cross-promotional ad].

Did you know that The Metamystery Experience is now under new management? However, we here at the Metamystery Experience still believe our page founder will return one day... Brandon Cole... we hope we live up to what you started!

In youth I have known one with whom the Earth
In secret communing held-as he with it,
In daylight, and in beauty, from his birth:
Whose fervid, flickering torch of life was lit
From the sun and stars, whence he had drawn forth
A passionate light such for his spirit was fit
And yet that spirit knew-not in the hour
Of its own fervor-what had o’er it power.
