Keychain
- Harriett gave this to Ed for some reason...
- It is green with "Burkittsville Tower" and "Key 011" written on the front side.
- Since this was given along with Harriett's letter, maybe they are connected.
Letter from Ed
- Ed discovered a piece is missing from the wiring, making the radio inoperable. He needs our help to figure out what that piece is.
Letter from Harriett
- The letter was given along with the keychain. The keychain has the number "011" written on it.
- The code in this letter is a shift cipher. Shift the letters backward by 11.
-
Once decoded, the message reads:
- "THESE KEYS, THIS ACTUATOR, AND ONE TIRED OLD MAN."
Notepad Pages
- These are Ed's jottings of episode ideas and things that are happening around him.
- On the first page, there is a Morse code message along the left side.
-
Once decoded, it reads:
- "TIMEOUT"
Private Eye Report
- Harriett's late husband, Robert, worked at the radio tower. Maybe this is why Harriett gave Ed the keychain.
- It was very likely that Robert was having an affair with his female co-worker for some time before their disappearances.
Punch-Out Cabin
- This was left behind as a "calling card" by whoever messed with the radio tower equipment.
- There are a bunch of handprints on the backs of these cutouts. On one are the words: "ALL HOPE SHIFTS TO DESPAIR IN THE WOODS".
Radio Tower Log
- Lots of messed-up messages...
-
Once unscrambled, they read:
- "THIS IS MY TOWER, THIS IS MY RADIO."
- "GET OFF MY FREQUENCY, GET OFF."
- "YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME. THIS IS MY LIFE."
- "SHE LISTENS TO THEM. THEY'RE LOST, THEY WAIT FOR ME TO HELP. FIVE MINUTES TOO LONG."
-
There are also a couple of Morse code messages.
-
Once deciphered, they read:
- "SHE HAD TO GO"
- "WOODS WATCH WOODS LISTEN"
Signs & Symptoms Poster
- These notes are probably written by Robert Gillard, who was experiencing these symptoms well before his voluntarily going into the Blair Witch's arms.
Training Manual
- This manual belonged to Waylon.
- Robert noted "no waiting around after dark, especially alone", yet he did just that the night of his disappearance.

What is the broadcaster's missing component?
- actuator
- Oh, god... Once we send this to Ed, he gets back to us with an electrical interface we have to try and figure out...
-
Using the training manual and tower log, do the following steps to get the interface working.
- Set the filament control and plate switch to "on".
- Move the filament voltage to 25.
- Move the plate current between 400 and 500.
- Move the R.F. line current to 3.5.
- Move the plate voltage to 0, then move the P.A. volt tuner to 2,000.
- Make the audio waves 10 and 5 so that they match.
- Turn the volume down to 0.
- Press the "COMMIT" button and return to the inbox for Ed's message.
