Emily Skahill
was the wording really necessary? i'm pretty positive i would have understood how strange and scary Navidson's situation was without it. I find the only interesting parts the parts about what the Hi 8s saw. The analysis and theories bore me, i'd rather come to my own conclusion. Two parts actually scared me though. The first, which is kind of strange and maybe i'm just not understanding it correctly, but Navidson reading House of Leaves. Isn't that what we're reading right now? When i read that part i thought about Navidson reading about his future, but that was clearly not what his book was about. If I was Truant reading that section I would have thought the burn marks and blotches on Zampano's work came from Navidson's burning of the sections. The second, was the darkness behind Karen when she was watching the new tapes. It's incredibly scary the way it was written, how the darkness was just waiting for her reaction when she turned around. I actually had to turn around myself. Will we ever come to a conclusion about the darkness? Will we ever get to hear the point of view of the children?

I agree with Emily's thinking in these chapters. I think I would have understood how scary Navidson was even without the strange text. I also thought that Navidson reading House of Leaves was strange, but instead of wondering how he could be reading the book if he's in it, I assumed he was reading another book with the same name. When Karen was watching the tapes, I also thought it was scary. Reading about something creeping up behind someone made me paranoid, and I think I turned around as well.
