MY FRIEND KATIE IS DEAD
CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?
PLEASE HELP ME!

Below this heading were four pictures of Katie and her friends on their trip to Shelter Mountain Inn. The captions read "shopping for the road trip," "rest stop," "having fun" and "party-time."

 


As an interesting aside, one of the posters to the katiespage message board criticized the pictures for being far too clean and professional-looking to be real. Scant days later, all four pictures had been Photoshopped to appear more worn (though somewhat overly so).



Strangely enough, toward the bottom of the main page was written the following:

KATIE WAS LAST SEEN SATURDAY NIGHT MAY 25, 2002

(prompting some to heckle, is she missing or dead?)

SHE WATCHED THE VIDEOTAPE WHEN SHE WENT ON THIS ROADTRIP
No one will listen to me, does anyone know anything about this videotape???

Below this was a link to "My Message Board," which was home to some fairly scathing arguments between the Sadako fans who knew what was going on and the "plants" who were trying to propagate the story of a cursed videotape.


the message board

Below is a sample post by one of the board's plants. It was chosen for being fairly typical both in tone and in its referencing of the other promotional sites.

thanks for awnsering lisa.
you havn't awnsered my questions yet, i consider, you don't know where the tape came from, where it is etc.
if you know it though, please awnser me.

i hope, you've yet read the links to the morgans:
www.morganranch.com
also, i hope you've heard of the urban legend coming from japan about an almsot same case. this maybe might directly link to this.

have you yet contacted thompson or ron???
www.sevendaystolive.com
they can help you with the awnsering of your questions.

to awnser the question, who i am... well... i am a... researcher of esr ( electronic spirit realm ). my thoughts go in the direction, that katie didn't die of anny tv-rays or hart attack, but, sadly enough, a higher force had to do with her death.

for further information, mail me or visit thompsons and rons site.
i'm doing some more research on my theory, to prove it is true... but i don't hope so.
i will also search for a person you can speak to... maybe a doctor, researcher or reporter.
till then, please, watch no tapes. none!
