Three Days Earlier
They felt like they were being teased with everything happening, even more than explaining it by using synchronicity. But Greg thought the synchronicities were leading them the right way, including being at Hellier and going there to begin with. Karl was taught about synchronicities by John E L Tenney. With issues John was having with some "goblin creature." To John, synchronicities weren't coincidences. He said they could be "manifestations of a phenomena" showing up with them and communicating with them.
Connor called Jack (from last ep) about the toe print and he told them of other stories. Including a UFO sighting when he was 12-14 years old. A disc shape with portholes. He actually said he saw more than one. Even up to about two years ago. As Greg explained was also the time the activity in Hellier stopped. Greg thought it was a hoax when the IP address came up with Ajax, Ontario and that's where Greg and Dana were living when they were told of the events. They began to think of who they knew in Canada. In the words of Duran Duran someone should've said "don't monkey with my business." It did feel as though they were being led a merry dance out of some sort of revenge or cruel joke.
Also going back to mentioning David not being real. Steve, a tech friend of Connor's analyzed the e-mails.
So they didn't get any e-mails from Kentucky, but since 'whoever' was using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) they had no idea where they were coming from. Something many people use, especially professionals when they don't want others getting hold of their IP addresses.
Greg explaining Terry wasn't able to be contacted as his name was a pseudonym. They needed to know what was happening in Hellier. So instead of the cave, they went to the train tunnel, even though the train tunnel was connected to caves. Was it just easier that way? Or was something actually leading them towards this?
Eastern Kentucky
The tunnel was empty and it was clear of any graffiti. Though they chanced upon a can!! Like the one Connor spoke about in the spirit/ghost box session. They had no explanations as to how the can got there and yet he says they knew they had to be there. He describes it as a "waking dream" more than deja vu. Connor seeing it as a sign they were meant to be there. Dana: "a little sliver of the future pops into your mind." It must've been more than synchronicity. Even with all that e-mail stuff and being led around in circles, it appeared, they still managed to find that can and decided on the train tunnels instead of the caves they were told about with the footprints. What does that mean for the sceptics, as well as those who believe since Connor thought of the can in his mind. Someone couldn't have just read his mind and 'planted' it there.
The thing about Hellier, is it appears prima facie, to be fictional, (don't get me wrong, I actually enjoyed it) a fictional quest beginning with that e-mail. Then things have happened which in some ways can't be explained, even if they did encounter a hoax, or what they believed to be a 'hoax' in Greg's words. But at the end of the day it's convincing cos of their experiences and what brought them to where they are now with getting on the road and investigating. Even if people weren't so forthcoming with them I had Scully's (Gillian Anderson) (X-Files) voice inside my head when I was typing this; back when she spoke of the episode where Mulder (David Duchovny) was supposed to have died. When she spoke of the "hoax" he was subjected to and how everything was a lie. In many ways, some parts of this ep of Hellier echoed that "hoax" bit.
Here are my extracts of the musings on that X-Files season 4 cliffhanger, Gethsemane
Did he "Believe the lies". After being through so much - experiencing the unexplainable, such as the disappearance of his sister, Samantha; the murder of his father...we are to believe this was all an elaborate hoax by the Government - but why? (What about the expense involved - the tax payers millions - they obviously have no regard for human life.)
Scully's scientific opinion, "over the course of three years he became a victim - a victim of his own false hope and of his belief in the biggest of lies" is of no use! But fear not - for Mulder returns to get to the bottom of things (thank goodness). After all the "Truth is [still] out there" but whose version or creation?
