Possible New “Paranormal Activity 2” Viral Sites (and Video) Scott Caldwell, October 1, 2010October 1, 2010 You know a film has people talking when it’s plastered all over the web, and now TV spots, oh yeah, and not to mention the box office success of the firs film. Plus the fact that we have a handful of articles in just a couple of weeks means the viral is going strong. All of the quick video clips that have been going around are being delivered by flash drives to various websites for the film Paranormal Activity 2 have drawn quite the stir, and now someone has tracked down the address to a specific location, and quite possibly, a new viral site to keep an eye on. Keep reading for more. In a post by AITH, they point out that the media is coming from 40 University Dr, Rindge, NH 03461, which happens to be the location of Franklin Pierce University. Ok, so one can assume that they are being sent from somewhere and they are using the address to throw you off. Well, in a recent post by the college’s website, they aren’t sending them, and they have received messages from Paramount, although not really going into detail about the content of the messages. One interesting note from the article:Garrity also noted that several FPU graduates have moved to California and have worked with Paramount Pictures.So what the hell is going on? They even note that a link appeared on the college’s newspaper site (Pierce Arrow News) of an ad requesting stories of paranormal experiences. This of course could just pertain to browser history and mean nothing. Hell, I just went to the site, and found that the most popular post was a review of the first Paranormal Activity. Also while digging through all of this, there was also an article of a college in Oswego, NY entering the realm of the paranormal, and they have a newspaper site as well. The club itself even has their own website. Looks like a real site though, not a viral site. But, you never know. Check them out at T.O.P.R.S. (The Oswego Paranormal Research Society). Another honorable mention of a viral site that we have come across is called Paranormal Surveillance, however at the moment, it simply leads to the UK site of the film. Now, as the article discusses videos, which have been seen here and here, we now have two more videos to look at. And here they are!

Insert Face Here – Twice December 29, 2009As odd as that sounds, that’s exactly what you get to do! If you can remember back to DAY FOUR of my 12 Days of Viral run, I spoke about the movies that have pages to allow you to “something-fy yourself”, you are given the chance to change yourself into… Read More
Viral Video – District 9: The Fookin’ Short Version January 4, 2010October 26, 2010Well, it was inevitable. First we had the District 9 soundboard, then came the random insertions of “fook” into everyday conversations. Now that the DVD is out, we are finally able to cut all that other junk out of the movie and see only what we want to see. Here’s… Read More
Lost Fans Campaign To Be Included In The Credits February 23, 2010In a tribute to the fans of The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson included all the charter members of the Lord of the Rings fan club on the credits of the DVD release of the trilogy.

These were all the viral clips i could find… 🙂 are there more?? http://fallen-redemption.blogspot.com/2010/10/paranormal-activity-2-viral-clips.html
They’re not in Micah and Katie’s old house. They’re Katie’s family. In PA (the 1st) Katie mentions her sister, Christi, while being interviewed by the psychic, Dr.Fredrichs. In the new trailer for PA2, there is a woman named Christi, and it is obvious that the family knows Katie as they mention her. Also, in one of the viral clips, the one with the baby crawling backwards down the stairs, there is the picture of Micah and Katie on the wall, framed. It’s the same image that was scratched by the demon in PA1. It’s obvious that Katie (the demon) is terrorizing her own family.
I just wanted to comment b/c every other site i’ve been on that’s broadcasting the trailer seems to think it’s the same house from the original.
