On Octodest 7th, a twenty-five year old man called Daniel was found dead. Apparently, he was a user known as "Chewiethe2nd", who regularly played minecraft. A user who commonly played him online, called Francis on a server called ImineKraft raided Daniel's email address, chewie2@hotmail.com, and read all 206 posts, many of them being un-important and throw-away. However, the last six where very interesting/disturbing. With kind permission, we have been allowed to re-post these for public knowledge.

Some believe the "spiman", to have been the result of mental illness. However, some other people who where also in the hotel at the time also reported of tiny footsteps and a blue, ghost-like figure, leaving that up for debate.

My name is Daniel. Before they passed away, I was friends
with Mary and Matt. I met Mary via a paranormal haunting victim group.
We were both having the same type of haunting, so we decided to set out and
find others who have had the same experiences as us. We found three others when John,
a member of our support group, died from unexplained causes. About a month later Paula,
another member, died unexpectedly as well. The last remaining member, Francis, was
almost killed but survived out of pure luck and excellent hearing.

"I was on my computer," he told me. "trying to find out what the deal was with the
.jar file, when I heard tiny footsteps behind me. I turned around and was face-to-face
with him - the cursed one - in REAL LIFE. He was coming towards me (man, he had HUGE eyes)
with this sort of metallic liquid coming from its mouth. I ran out and came straight here."

I'm letting him stay here with me until we figure out what's going on.

Last night I had a dream. It was really creepy like all my other
dreams, but for some reason it was creepier than usual. It was about
Matt's computer or, well, something like it. It automatically generated
chunks like in Minecraft, but it took nearly thirty seconds to load each
one. I could also see through walls; it was like the gravel glitch but more
spontaneous. I couldn't see actual textures, either; just flickering green and
grey blocks.

It was very glitchy. I know of a screen-name flashing up (something like "Cryptic"
or "Cripple"), but the only words I remember seeing or hearing was stuff like "C148"
(MinecraftSP's music artist). The word "pneumatic" got in there at some point and
so did a regular type sheet, like "[]{}1234567890ABCDEFGHIJK", except it was more
like "[]{}4KAPES69-HF:AJDI".

There was also a strange monster. It would travel through and destroy blocks, just
like the player character. Apparently the goal of the game was to run (or FLY, in this
case) away from this monster and survive for as long as possible. When the monster
touched the PC, you instantly respawned at a random point in the map. The monster
always spawns, at most, forty blocks away.

When I was playing the game, the monster chased me and I ran away. The only way
to escape is to break blocks and run (the player can only fly through the air, by
the way. The monster can fly through everything). As I was running, I broke my way
into a sort of vault area; it had blocks of what seemed to be wool on the floor where
chests should have been. I would have investigeted more, but the monster caught me.

I know I haven't posted anything in over two months,
I've been on a holiday to Mojang. In fact, I'm staying
at a holiday ranch currently which is why I'm using LUGNET.
I met up with Notch a couple of days ago and I discussed with
him over the 1.8 update to the game, but I could see he was in
a rush. It was approaching night-fall, and apparently that's when
the spiders and other creatures come out.

I had a most horrible night. I tried to sleep, but there was a hot
stench all through-out the night. After nearly forty-two minutes try
ing to get comfortable, I decided to go down the stairs and play my copy
of Minecraft in private. I started Minecraft as normal; I went through the
launcher and logged in fine, but it started to have problems. I thought it
was just a quick bug fix, but I found out later that my ISP wasn't covering
me, meaning I couldn't connect to the server. When I got to the main menu, the
colors were weird and the logo was corrupted. My recorder went crazy and didn't
record anything after that.

This was an e-mail to a censored address, we can assume it is from Daniel to Matt.

My computer has been acting weird lately. It's been taking
long amounts of time to start and has been making weird noi
ses on top of that. I don't think I've downloaded any viruses.
There was this one piece of software that was buggy, but I erased
it. I think this might be a hardware problem, or a bug with Vista.
Anyway, please get back to me soon.

Thanks! ~Daniel

I had the dream again. I fucking saw a ghost. A blue ghost, I'm
certain it's the one John and Paula said about. I was in my room
and I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange breathing, it,
sounded like someone was standing right next to my bedside, but the
breathing didn't sound right.

I held my eyes shut, totally terrified not wanting to open them and
acknowledge that this is really happening. Then the breathing suddenly
stopped, and I looked around struggling to see in the pitch dark and I
said it was just my mind playing tricks on me and I lay back down.
Then I feel a hand...

Some time later, Mary met some guy. I think his name was Matt. He was having
the same things happening to him. We tried to help, but he died three weeks later.
Mary died the next week while testifying about Matt's death. I guess that leaves Francis
and I as the last two survivors.

I've found six others who have witnessed the cursed one: Stan, Jack, Casey, Rio, Janet,
and Neil. All of them are scared. Also, I've heard that Matt's computer has been released.
It was given to some girl named Anna. This computer may be our last lead,
since we all went crazy and destroyed or sold ours.
