Considering there is no active show per se, I'll give him a pass on this one.

I wouldn't expect a new event without a host, audience, location, or any hype whatsoever. It was only by dumb luck that any of us wound up here to begin with, so I highly doubt someone would go through the trouble to put something together on the chance that somebody might stumble upon it.

But hey, I'm as curious as anyone else about the ramifications of this whole restoration. I guess we'll have to stick around and see if anything worthwhile becomes of this.

Fair enough. None of us were present to account for his initial injuries, but the 2002 incident is a different story. We definitely caught at least a glimpse of him getting electrocuted, and witnesses saw his burnt body being loaded into the ambulance. We can most definitely attest to him being in critical enough condition that paramedics thought him dead.

If we're being pragmatic here, the guy is almost 70-years-old. With all the damage he's taken, I wouldn't exactly think of him being in tip-top shape. How many times was he shot exactly? And stabbed? And burned? If by any chance he is still alive, he's probably a decrepit hermit shambling around in a sewer. Any other scenario is borderline supernatural.

I'm down if anyone else is. The private message system may be gone, but we don't have to air our dirty laundry here. There's a chat system built into the proxy host. Click that round button on the bottom-right corner and we can get started.

FYI, I'm not sure if it works for external users, but the Dangertainment users still pop up in my list. Clearly, there are users outside our forum, but I'm not seeing them.

I don't want to say my memory is perfect, but I don't think this is the complete thread list. Any message board system is going to require moderation. If this is the server's turnout from its latest restore point, then troll posts could have already been wiped. If there was harassment of some kind, that might be a point of contention this person is trying to avoid by not making a public reveal.

You're not missing anything. The link is gone. There's a blog post about why the PM system is gone. Apparently, our generous host didn't want to jeopardize our privacy by accidentally viewing our private messages while he was restoring the system, so he opted against implementing it entirely. I can't tell if he's being noble or lazy.

I'm afraid not. Sorry. I'm more of a big picture guy. Technical prowess isn't my forte.

It is curious, though. Who would revive a dead forum after twenty years? Most people wouldn't dare join an online community outside of Facebook or Reddit. Not unless they're nostalgic about it. Obviously, you can tell which camp I fall in.

Reading the site blogs, it sounds like some determined archivist found a breadcrumb and brute-forced his way in.

Someone told me this site came back online. I didn't believe them until they showed me the proxy url. Boy, this takes me back. I couldn't even find this place on the wayback machine.

If anyone else stumbles upon this, drop a line.

Did anybody else notice what looked like half a rat down there?

The Summer Glen reports don't mention burns at all.

But did he?

I swear I heard he escaped afterward.

Glen Echo, too. Plenty of stories surrounding that place.

That's why some people think she escaped.

Actually... It's documented. Weird doesn't automatically mean false.

Then another woman's vehicle disappeared from that same rest stop.

Here's something stranger. I found an old report claiming the paramedic wasn't even scheduled to work that day.

Something has always bothered me. Reports said the Summer Glen killer wasn't badly burned. Wasn't Michael supposed to have been engulfed in flames back in '78?

Every version I've heard leaves out different details. That's usually a sign nobody actually knows.
