Weird Words
Narrative, Transmedia
"Weird Words" was conceived as a real-time performance narrative on what appears to be an authentic blog. Written from the perspective of paranormal investigator and lifelong skeptic James Spector, the blog chronicles his slow descent into madness over the course of three months, culminating in a murder and suicide. The blog's narrative included real world locations and elements. The blog's comments were incorporated into the story, including those from visitors that may not have realized the blog is fictional.
This is the introductory blog post in which James Spector opens his investigation into the disappearance of his Aunt Abby.
One of the final posts by James Spector. By this point he has gone mad.
As with any blog, the posts are arranged in descending instead of ascending order, which means the story must be read backwards, starting with the oldest entry, and then working up to the newest entry.
