This the Journal that I, T̶̴̴̷̷̷̷̷̷̵̴̸̶̵̴h̶̷̷̶̷̴̵̸̸̴̷̷̷̵̸e̷̷̴̶̴̷̷̸̵̴̵̵̷̸̴ ̵̵̶̴̷̷̸̸̷̶̵̵̶̴̸H̷̸̵̵̷̵̴̶̴̵̷̶̶̶̵o̶̸̸̵̸̸̷̶̸̵̷̷̸̵̷s̵̵̴̵̶̸̴̵̵̷̴̴̴̵̷t̴̸̸̷̵̸̷̸̶̴̷̷̸̵̴  will start filling with different kinds of creatures that I will find here, in the United Kingdom. I will be travelling throughout the country, searching every cave and forest I can find. I believe in the Supernatural and I am confident that I can find something that can reveal the true nature of the world. I have been collecting money for this journey for over 5 years now, this will be worth it, I'm sure...


14. June 2017: This is my first entry, after a week of searching a forest near a country-side, I found a cave. Clearly someone had been there before me, there was trash on the ground and what seemed to be a really old used bonfire. I didn't think I would find anything in the cave, but I still ventured inside.

The cave turned out to be extremely huge, there were many different tunnels to walk through. After what I think was around 10 minutes I started losing hope of finding anything in the cave, but I am stubborn so I ventured even further into the cave.

After what felt like forever I finally found something that could be interesting! There appeared to be something carved into the cave's wall!

After finding what appeared to be a cipher, I started looking for more and after only 5 minutes I found another writing!

Unfortunately I did not find any more thus I started leaving the cave. Getting out of the cave was difficult, I appeared to have gotten lost in the cave. After a while I did find the exit, but it took around an hour to find the entrance.

Seeing that the sun had began to fall, I set up a camp near the preexisting bonfire. After getting a fire going and taking out my sleeping bag and refilling my lantern I can finally start writing my Journal. I take out the piece of paper from my pocket that had the writings on it and start writing...


15. June 2017: I woke up pretty late today, the sleeping bag was quite uncomfortable. So about those writings... They seem to be pretty random, but there has to be a specific cipher I can use to figure it out. As I knew there was bound to be some ciphers to decode in my journey, I of course took a book about ciphers and how to solve them with me. I will be continuing this journal after I find the cipher I have to use.

It is now noon and I think I've found the cipher! It might be what is called an Atbash Cipher, it turns out it's a pretty common and easily cracked, I guess I got lucky! Now to decipher it and find out what's written on the caves of the wall! I'm so happy I finally can finally solve something that I found!
Well... Turns out the Atbash Cipher was not the answer... It seemed to be, it has all the signs of the Atbash Cipher but it's just nonsense!

The first writing when deciphered with the Atbash Cipher is:
Ghihqghu kdv idoohq

And the second writing when deciphered with the same cipher is:

Wkh Jdughq uhtxluhv dqrwkhu

I guess I didn't find the right cipher! Or maybe it's just ramblings from a bunch of teens trying to be funny. Either way, I'm not giving up! I will search more ciphers and I shall find the right one, I have to!

16. June 2017: I have not found any ciphers that can decipher it correctly... I've tried dosens of ciphers, but they are just nonsense! It just doesn't make sense! It just seems like it means nothing... I have given up on trying to cipher the writings, they don't mean anything, this was a waste...

Whoever finds this Journal, see if you can decipher it. I couldn't maybe you'll fare better, who knows, you might be able to find something that I couldn't. But for now, I will move on and find another mystery or possibly a creature of unknown origin, you never know what might be out there, feasting on wild animals, killing people who have gone missing...
