Chapter Text
The narrative to follow was discovered by the "author" here in the earlier days of the internet. Something in this narrative captured my attention, and I recorded it as best I could at the time by using my browser to save a copy locally, mirroring the basic structure. Local files suggest this must have originally been hosted on Geocities1 sometime in 1990s2.
If this site was archived by anyone else, I do not know where -- it seems to have been missed by the Internet Archive project3, as so many of these early pages were.
This archive is one of the few things I have carried forward from computer to computer over the years, and I find it oddly compelling even today. Although the few images originally hosted have been lost, I have attempted to preserve the formatting as best I can while reproducing the text on this new archive.
It is my hope that the Organization for Transformative Works4 will take on the burden of carrying this text forward through time, and that I will no longer be the sole keeper of this information. Although I swear that the information in this introductary chapter is true, the remainder of the work might as well be considered fiction for the purposes of this archive, a fan extension of the events documented in The Navidson Record -- although no such claim was made when it was originally published.
If you are the original author or know them, please contact me. I have questions.
