/x/ - Paranormal

I haven't heard her mentioned in a long time. Someone should visit her and record it.

>>42930

i think koreans interested in her have tried over the years to get in contact with her and come up empty handed. Her delusions are so ingrained in her mind that it's basically impossible to become friends with her. If someone knocked on her door she'd just think it's the policeman or one of his co conspirators.

But that's one of the most interesting things about chip-chan to me. She records herself 24/7 and blogs all the time, and yet even though she has conclusive, video evidence that no one is trying to break in or visiting her in her sleep as she claims, she is unwavering in her belief that it is happening. I guess it's just how mental illness works, but still, how can you be so far gone that even with video proof you deny it.

It makes me wonder about her long-term goals. What does she want to happen? For the officer to be brought to justice? To go back to a normal life? is it even possible to break her delusion at this point?

>>42929

I've never understood /x/'s obsession with her. She's just a crazy woman, there are millions of them.

>>42931

Maybe she believes that the intruder can somehow avoid being caught on camera, who knows. Even normal people are often illogical in the face of evidence, so I wouldn't expect a mentally ill person to be able to think coherently.

>>42936

>Maybe she believes that the intruder can somehow avoid being caught on camera, who knows

But that's the thing, if she believes he can't be caught on camera, why put up the live stream? If she thinks he can be caught, why has she not given up after ~10 years of recording herself? Surely at some point she has to begin doubting her own delusions, right? Or is that just not how it works?

As for the "obsession", I can't say for sure. I guess it's just morbidly interesting to check on her from time to time. Sure there are millions of crazy women around, but 99.9% of them don't have a live webcam on them 24/7.

>>42936

I don't think she's crazy I just think she has a really bad case of narcolepsy, because I have narcolepsy and I had really similar levels of delusion for two years prior to sorting out appropriate medication. Entirely same thing with me, delusions when awake, slept 18 - 24 hours. I've always felt bad for her, because I thought if somebody institutionalized her for a week slowly starting her on some stimulants and watching her this would likely be fixed. Especially as people with this specific line of symptoms, my line of symptoms as well, are usually quite receptive to managing it through medication.

Important for distinction purposes she'd likely be diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia opposed to narcolepsy, but all of us tend to band together as there's enough of an overlap, and there's a push to have idiopathic hypersomnia classified as type 2 narcolepsy. I'm still calling what she has narcolepsy, because that's the conclusion everyone else has come to over the years and they're basically the same thing. I'm proposing she has some band of an oversleeping disorder not schizophrenia. I'm offering this discussion point as I've never seen anyone claim she doesn't have schizophrenia and isn't crazy.

Narcolepsy isn't usually characterized by these mental symptoms she displays, but that's because medical documentation on narcolepsy fucking sucks. To give an example of shit documentation, narcolepsy has a symptom referred to as “brain fog” where you essentially function as if you have an iq of 75, you can’t form coherent thoughts, you may stumble all over your words like a drunk, and for the most part this is just documented by doctors as “narcoleptic patients report loss of cognitive function,” because there’s no identified medical reason why it happens. Brain fog is likely why she acts irrationally. Mine was at its worse when I was in the same state she was. I can’t describe it any other way then she probably feels like she has an iq of 75, and has no control over her thoughts and feelings. Her thoughts would be along the lines of “Internet. Internet makes me happy. Only escape,” while the “voices” in her head would speak over her own thoughts. The part of her that still exists wants to do normal people things, but doing those things is impossible as you can’t shut off the interfering thoughts.

About 10-15 anons and i back on halfchans /x/ looked into this heavily back in 2010, we basically watched her 24/7 that summer. Long story short she's mentally ill. Contacting her is not a good idea, a few years ago during our little investigation a random anon called her phone and she freaked the fuck live on cam.

I typed up a summary of what happened if yall want it, I'll just have to find it.

>>42950

Please. Just watched a bit of her webcam archives and its boring as fuck.

She's still at it, hey? I was fascinated by her a few years ago honestly thinking it was just an elaborate hoax then forgot about her.

>>42947

that's an interesting explanation I had never really considered. Is narcolepsy something that would have affected her from early childhood or can it come on suddenly? I'm not sure when or how her parents passed away, but if they knew she had some sort of illness like that it seems irresponsible not to set up some sort of contingency if they couldn't care for her directly anymore. Or maybe she wasn't as bad before and the situation surrounding their deaths stressed her to the point of becoming a shut-in that just made it all worse.

I do wonder just how rich her parents were. She's been like this for at least 10 years, paying rent/taxes, food, utilities. Sure she doesn't each much since she's asleep for more than half the day, but still, it has to add up.

>>42947

I wonder what it's like to experience something similar to retardation and then go back to normal levels of intelligence.

>>42960

It could be either. Narcolepsy used to primarily occur in families with a history of it, but there’s been a documented recent influx in narcoleptics over the past 8 – 10 years. People affected by the influx just get slammed with it suddenly. The influx is believed to be caused by some unidentified environmental factor, and there’s a lot of potential environmental hazards in Korea that could have caused it in Chip-chan.

>>42961

You’d consume so little in the state of retardation that you wouldn’t feel anything about it afterwards. I don’t think retarded people understand they’re retarded, because they can’t comprehend enough of what’s going on around them or their own thoughts. I’m pretty sure there’s studies that show they have feelings, which often serve as an indication their lives have meaning, but based on my experience being essentially retarded I was limited to whatever was happening in the moment. Actions and reactions of other people made me happy, sad, or angry in the moment they happened, but I primarily couldn’t hold any standing opinions of people outside of that moment. Repetition made it possible to form some opinions on people through long term memory, similar to how autistic people embrace others in the same way, but even with this I still only had the bare basics of emotion. My parents would try to wake me up and I’d just repeat fuck you in basically a retarded fit until they left. My parents being the only people occasionally convinced something was wrong with me, left me registering my emotions as “sad” whenever they told me later I told them to fuck off for 30 minutes. I’d sometimes have memory of doing that and sometimes not. Being retarded is living in a state of only extreme emotion. When things are fine you’re extremely happy, and when anything is not absolutely perfect it’s the worst distress you could imagine. Most retards are constantly in distress, because everything bothers them based on the lack of cognitive ability, and they can’t verbalize about the small things that bother them.

>>42964

>You’d consume so little in the state of retardation that you wouldn’t feel anything about it afterwards.

But chip-chan does seem to understand that something weird is going on in her life. She's acknowledged that she passes out for hours and hours at a time and can't control it. I guess this is sort of my reason for not believing she's narcoleptic, or at least believing she has something else going on mentally besides narcolepsy. She does seem to pass out randomly but she stays asleep for hours, easily 12+ on some occasions. Since she moves so little and doesn't go out, it's hard to say if it comes on without her realizing it or if she is already feeling exhausted and just passes out where she sits. Of course, I'm sure narcolepsy comes in many flavors and honestly I don't know that much about it. Is there a type that fits these sorts of symptoms? I haven't really watched enough of her to judge whether she deals with "brain fog" after waking up or if she's cognizant right away.

Her delusions are really her main problem at this point. She attributes everything to the microchip implanted in her. Any physical or mental ailment is because of the chip, she passes out because of the chip, she has to live like she does because of the chip. I wonder if she focused in so heavily on this delusion as a form of escapism from the loss of her parents and underlying health issues. Because it's easier to blame something/someone else for it all she just accepts living with it. That's why she hasn't attempted to dig the chip out or really review her own livestream. Breaking that delusion with hard evidence would be too difficult, it's easier to just always assume it's true no matter what.

>>42996

My response was more directed to anon asking what it’s like to go from retardation back to normal intelligence, in relation to Chip-Chan if she was fixed tomorrow it’s likely she’d only vaguely remember what she felt during the experience. I had symptoms of the severity I described for about three months, and that’s specifically where I was functionally retarded. During those months I slept around 18 – 22 hours a day somewhat more than the 15 – 20 I’d sleep outside of those months, I had audio hallucinations, and the constant belief a doctor was trying to lobotomize me. The rest of the two years I just spent irrationally angry and self-conscious, mood swings that were assumed to be a result of the exhaustion as they went away on medication. Narcolepsy exhaustion comes in the form of the brain constantly feeling like it never gets enough sleep. This is caused by abnormal brain function as it’s a neurological disorder. The brain being screwed up allows for a multitude of hallucinations and abnormal behaviors. I can only say allows for as narcolepsy being a brain disorder results in a huge variety of symptoms between individuals. Everything about her has the potential to be covered by narcolepsy. I can’t say for sure she’s not schizophrenic, but if she isn’t, based on how I know narcolepsy manifests, a single prescription would fix the entire problem. It would be really unfortunate if she was just narcoleptic, because her delusions could be easily fixed.

A note on brain fog it doesn’t appear right after waking up or before going to sleep it just kind of happens whenever even on medication, which is why it’s proved so difficult for doctors to document. I don’t know if it would be possible to see it in Chip-chan, because it’s something that the person really has to verbalize. If she ever seems dopey as opposed to paranoid that could be brainfog.

I decided to go through and actually try to read through her main blog. The blog is very difficult to navigate since I don't know korean and have to rely on google translate. If you can guess as to what she means it's more or less readable. Starting with her earliest entries in 2007 however, there seems to be a discrepancy. The website claims there are 467 entries for April 2007. However, as I try to navigate to new pages of entries, at most I can see 9 pages, with 3 entries each. So all I can really see (max) is 27 entries total. Not sure why this is. Are there really 467 entries, or does that count edits to entries as well?

~april 2007

>talks about traveling. Was in New Zealand (2/06) before going to Canada and then returning home to Korea. Mentions "lion's park" and "heritage station"

>Mentions a pain in her foot 10 years prior to these events (so ~1996)

>Claims she returned to korea March 11, 2006

>would have gone from NZ to Canada to ROK, sort of a weird flight plan

>Also mentions being in Calgary (not sure if there's a "lions park" and "heritage station" in calgary)

>Claims to have never dreamed since April 2006 when she returned to korea

>Most entries detail when she woke up/when she fell asleep. Every post seems to indicate she is hearing police sirens/car crashes and that she is terrified of falling asleep (although she does sleep).

~may 2007

>website claims 454 entries, we'll see if that's true.

>talks about sleeping at a law school, So I assume a university. I'm not familiar with Korea or any law unis in her area.

>Not sure if she is/was a student. Says she tied up her stuff and slept on it I guess because she's afraid of thieves.

>Seems like the school was somewhat crowded even though it was a Buddhist holiday and she didn't expect to see a lot of people.

>It's unclear why she slept here, if she was a student or if she was just out walking and felt tired and decided to rest on campus.

>Talks about extreme cramps and pain when sleeping now, new symptom or maybe something she didn't notice before? Pain is so great she claims to have trouble staying asleep, but still does fall asleep.

>Mentions meeting someone in 2001 who spoke English. She says she was Korean and Canadian. Chip-chan apparently claims to speak English as well here.

>Mentions that she wished she started this blog 10 years ago when it all started, but doesn't elaborate.

>Clarifies that the pain and cramps come upon waking, and only seem to affect her when she doesn't sleep at home.

>Mentions falling asleep in public (using couches and sleeping in the women's rest room).

>Seems to get out fairly regularly at this point in time, since she has to worry about sleeping outside her own house.

>Tries to clarify her own timeline. Keeps mentioning "10 years ago" when she felt a lot of pain in her foot. In early 2006 she was in NZ and then went to Canada. It seems she went to the police in Canada and claimed that "Officer P" was stalking her there. The results of this aren't clear, but presumably she wasn't taken seariously (either language barrier issues or they realized she was nuts). She returned to ROK in April of 2006 it seems.

>Claims "Officer P" has been stealing her money since March 2006. She returned to ROK from Korea in April 2006, so her interaction with the

canadian police was probably sometime between those dates.

>Complains about noise a lot, maybe some other symptom? Constantly complains about noises from cars and police sirens, wears earplugs.

>Once again, though the blog claims 454 entries, May 2007 has only 10 pages of posts, with 3 posts per page. So ~30 entries total.

>>43027

~june 2007

>strange post about stealing. Not sure if it's google translate being fucky or if she actually means it. She talks about "roommates" and stealing various small items (food, soap, etc) from them.

>mentions going to church at this point. Not sure if it's a christian church or a buddhist thing.

>Mentions going to a hospital at this point, although she doesn't detail any treatment or anything. She just says she went there and fell asleep, and that a guard came and told her to tie up her belongings. I assume this means secure them so someone can't just grab them.

>Talks more about church and falling asleep there too. Never mentioned church before now, so I wonder if she just started going or what.

>Again, blog website claims there are 378 posts for June 2007, but there are only 9 pages with 3 entries per page

~july 2007

>most of the posts are very short, detailing her destinations or trips for the day. More rambling about "officer P" somehow "hacking" her computer and making it run slowly.

>There is a strange post detailing what seems to be an allergic reaction she had in canada, and since then hasn't been able to wear makeup. >She has mentioned something about an aunt and uncle who either visit her periodically or live nearby and she sees them often. She writes that she told her uncle about the situation with "Officer P" and how he has been stealing things from her. It seems like her uncle did not believe her and told her she was being paranoid.

>Without being able to read the original korean, it's unclear if this aunt and uncle are actual family member, whether they live with her, and how exactly the uncle responded to her claims. regardless, chip-chan seems to be undeterred and blames this all on officer P anyway.

>In hindsight, I wonder if all the short posts with just times and locations refer to her seeing police cars. She doesn't specify as far as I can tell.

~August 2007

>lots of complaints of being itchy, nearly every entry mentions it. I wonder if it is her allergies acting up. mentions seeing "fleas" (maybe bed bugs?) and bug bites.

Honestly most of these entries are very hard to read because I really felt for her here. I've had my allergies act up and had hives and just feel so itchy I couldn't stand it. Laying in bed or just sitting around would be maddening. Since she mentioned some aunt and uncle, I don't know why they wouldn't do anything for her, especially when she claims she scratched herself so much that she began to bleed.

~September 2007

>Does not mention itching anymore. Entries are short and generally just list times and locations, with no explination as to what that means necessarily.

>Often times she writes that just by keeping this blog, her problems and/or sightings of "officer P" are reduced. So it seems to me like this blog is mostly for her (at this point anyway). It's a landmark for her mentally, a place to document things she can't tell other people. Either she has no one to tell, or she fears for her/their safety to the point she won't tell anyone.

~october 2007

>nothing new really. No mentions of being itchy. Even though the blog states there are 744 posts for this date, there are only 10 pages viewable.

~november/december 2007

>there is a distinct drop off in the number of posts starting in november. Before november she was averaging like 400 or 500 posts (even though we apparently can't see them). Starting in november the number of posts drops to less than 50 on average.

>Again, we can't even see 50 for whatever reason, but this is a huge drop off in output on her end, with no real explination. I wonder if something happened at this time? Looking at the post numbers from this point on, she only ever breaks 100 once, in April of 2011. Not sure what it means, but it really stands out to me.

>Nothing new is mentioned really for either month. She does post on Christmas of 2007, but doesn't mention going to church at all. Maybe she stopped going? She doesn't mention anything about the holiday.

>Mentions the maid/housekeeper is pissed because her toilet is always clogged. She seems to have no idea why.

>>43028

~jan/feb 2008

>In early september 2007, chip-chan mentioned a lawsuit against this "officer P". She didn't write about it at all since then, until now.

>She remarks on the case, although it does not seem to be going her way. She is markedly more optimistic in these entries, even though she does not go into specifics as to what happened in the courtroom or what her case is even about.

>In later entries she claims to need to take a lie detector test. She also claims no one believes her in court.

>Apparently "officer P" has accused her of defamation. She has taken a liking to the prosecutor in the case, who probably at least acts like he believes her.

>By the last few posts in february, it appears as though she has lost her case. Her mood takes a dive although she seems determined to expose "officer P" eventually.

~march 2008

>in late march, chip-chan reveals her surveillance camera website to her own blog. This is one of the few times she has written directly to the reader. She does seem to have a fixation with CCTV cameras, and often mentions that she feels safer falling asleep in front of one in public to be a good idea.

>She continues posting the URL to access the feed from the cameras for the rest of the month, begging people to watch. She also acknowledges that this is somewhat of a bizarre idea and people will think she is nuts. At least she has a little self-awareness about it all.

>She also claims that before all this started she would sleep for 4-5 hours a night. After "officer P" got involved she'd sleep for 15+ hours. And since the cameras had been installed, she now sleeps for 7-8 hours a night.

That's all I've got so far. I figured it would be best to start with the oldest stuff first to try and unravel what is going on with her. Maybe I'll continue tomorrow. I guess I was hoping for more conclusive info about what may have triggered all of this and how she got to be the way she is now. Unfortunately it looks like she'd already gone off the deep-end by the time she started this blog, and it's difficult to understand most of what I've read so far.

Since we know her name, I wonder if we could look up this lawsuit she initiated. I've never heard anyone mention that detail before. I'd also like to know more about this "aunt and uncle" she talks about. Can they not force her to seek medical help? I thought she had no living family. Even if she doesn't, I'm sure from her lawsuit any government official could see she needs help. Why was none given to her? Why does she seem to so obviously need help and yet fail to get any from anyone? Is she just good at hiding it publically, or is it just that hard to get help in south korea?

>>43029

decided to do a bit more. some more interesting stuff

~may/june 2008

>claims that her computer is acting strangely, ever since setting up the cameras. Blames "officer P"

>posts a few pictures for the first time. Some of cops, some of herself on a bike. Never mentioned having a bike before. Maybe she just bought one? Again, in these early entries she seems to leave the house fairly regularly. She never mentions going to class or work though, and she doesn't really detail what she does when leaving the house. Seems very unusual considering the chip-chan we know today who never leaves her room.

>she mentioned this once before, but now has made several other posts detailing some sort of trap with her soap involving ammonia (or something that smells like ammonia). She claims someone else gave her this idea although it's unclear what she is trying to prove with it. She basically says she puts some ammonia on her soap and the next day it smells like ammonia. I guess it's a trap to catch someone using her soap? It's very odd.

~july 2008

>there are no posts listed. The sidebar reports there were 5 posts made, but none are visible or they've been deleted.

~august 2008

>not many posts, not much info

~september 2008

>claims to have gone to australia in march 2005, and then went to New Zealand in september of 2005

>seems to be claiming that the police in New Zealand put a microchip in her right hand

>this is the first she's mentioned a microchip of any kind. Claims this microchip makes her fall asleep

>claims that both the new zealand and canadian police were a part of some conspiracy involving these chips

>very next post in also interesting. She was apparently sued by her neighbors who claimed she hit one of them. She also claims that she was sued/charged back in december of 2007 with assault on a different woman.

>claims the two women who live next door are "aunts", although again I'm not sure if that means they are literally her aunts.

>mentions another incident where she supposedly hit a dog

>writes about how it's pointless to set up the cameras in her house because they constantly experience technical issues and don't record

~october 2008

>claims she was put into a psychiatric hospital in 2004. Obviously she got out. Claims officer P was behind it although has no proof. It's unclear how or why she was released.

~november 2008

>talks some more about where she lives and her neighbors. Seems to be accusing them of stalking her and working with officer P

>again talks about hitting a dog that belonged to a neighbor. She claims it was too loud and she couldn't sleep. Claims she snuck over to it very early in the morning and hit it. She must've either beat the shit out of it or killed it, because she was accused of doing something to it later on

>very long Q&A post, mostly just repeating shit I've already mentioned. She does claim that this all started in 1997 when her bike was stolen. I think that's what kicked off her hatred of cops. I guess they never found her bike and for some reason she suspected them.

>she also confirms that she was left a lot of money by her parents, although she doesn't say when they passed away

~dec-march 2008/9

>no posts at all in december of 2008

>jan/feb 2009 there are also very few, not even the typical record of times and locations as was usual up until now

>>43031

I decided to do a bit more. It's kinda fun to read through her posts, even though the vast majority is kinda just gibberish. Hopefully some anon here is enjoying my summary.

~april/may 2009

>I should note here something. as I've said before, maybe of the post counts listed by the website do not match up with the actual posts we can view when we click on a given month and year. In the early days this was very obvious, with posts counts in the hundreds while less than 30 posts were actually able to be viewed. And even when we think about this logically, having 400+ posts in a single month would be over 10 posts per day, which would be huge. Considering she's claiming to be sleeping for 15+ hours a day during this time (before she set up her cameras), that would be nearly impossible.

>however, like I said, after october of 2007, these post counts drop significantly. from 400+ pm average to less than 50, and many months have less than 10.

>but, in spite of this, I should not that in these very empty months, some of her initial entries are seem to be copy-paste jobs where she reposts entries from the previous month in one long entry

>i have no idea if she simply forgot to post these, or if she did post them and then deleted them, or what exactly is going on here. Just figured I'd mention it because it's becomming more common at this point.

>May 23, 2008 seems to be the first mention of this "veri chip"

>she writes a relatively long post about the chip, saying that it has a microphone and a camera in it, as well as some sort of GPS

>includes a drawing of a left foot showing where the chip is implanted

>I'll be honest, I don't know any medical terms, it's basically around the top of the foot near your ankle

>claims the device was patented in the 70s, that it makes you pass out, and that it's implanted in such a way that an X-ray won't see it

>she doesn't list any source for this info, it seems pretty clear that she saw some of those RFID implants and got this idea. Apparently there was some RFID patent issued in the 70s so I feel pretty confident she just read the wiki page.

>I guess this sections answers the question as to why she doesn't try to gid the chip out herself. She claims the chip is put into the bone, and so would be impossible to remove on her own

~june/july 2009

>seems to be having trouble with people reporting her blogs, gets messages they need to be taken down. blames this all on "officer P"

~august/september 2009

>long post about people breaking in and poisoning her food and laundry items like towels and clothes. claims this poisons causes some sort of allergic reaction on her skin. She also says that she went to the hospital for tests and they found nothing.

>I wonder though, surely the hospital would tell her it's an allergic reaction, right? Did she just ignore them because she didn't believe it, or did they never mention it might be allergies?

>lots of photos of her feet/legs. In my opinion they do look very swollen. Later posts this month show what looks like a bad case of hives on her feet.

>Although, she wrote about a similar situation in august of 2007. I still think it's her allergies which act up in late summer/early fall. the timeline is basically the same. She just didn't post much in august of 2008 but we'll see if this trend continues in the comings years, with these symptoms getting worse around this time

>later in september she writes that she's getting a similar reaction on her fingers, and posts some photos. though her fingers don't look nearly as bad as her legs. One photo shows a teddy bear on the bed in the background, a small detail I found somewhat humanizing and slightly depressing.

>claims that she has been rubbing charcoal (and photos show a black substance on her hand). Not sure if that works, never tried it myself. She claims it helps the itching.

~october/november 2009

>more photos of various cops/people she believes to be stalking her. These are taken outside, maybe at some kind of market.

>she seems to express growing paranoia over the cameras she has set up. On one hand they give her peace of mind, on the other, she seems unsure if it's a good idea to let random strangers on the internet watch her every move

>only 1 post in late november, claims she went out and that "officer P" put bacteria in her shoes again and posts photos of some red marks on her feet. Though they don't look as bad as they did back in august.

>I'm not sure if it's google translate, but she seems to claim these people are putting both poison and bacteria in her stuff to cause all this. She can't and won't keep food at home, and doesn't really explain why she believes they're spreading this "bacteria"

~dec 2009

>few posts, nothing on christmas

>mentions canada again, claims she had similar symptoms there.

>>43070

~jan 2010

>very lengthy Q&A post again. talks about her parents passing away (but doesn't give the year it happened)

>talks a lot about moving to various places in korea in 1999 or so. Since I don't know korean I'm not sure if that's being translated properly. And since I don't know how old chip-chan is I'm not sure how old she was then. I'm guessing she's in her late 30s/early 40s, so she would've been in her 20s around that time

>brings up living in "boarding houses", although I don't know what that means exactly. Hostels? Or maybe some sort of orphanage (maybe she's younger than I think, and when her parents died the state took her into their care?)

>mentions stealing again, from various roommates. Though at this point I think I understand what she was doing. Even back then she believed the cops were poisoning her stuff, and so by stealing toothpaste or food from others, she would know that stuff wasn't poisoned and she would be safe

>mentions australia, NZ, and canada again. This time she makes it seem more like this was an attempt to flee this "officer P" and get away from him.

>if this is the case, maybe 2005 was when she legally became an adult and could leave on her own?

~feb/mar 2010

>lots of repeated posts, all generally the same

>goes into some more detail about the event with the bike in 1997

>from what I can tell, it seems like she was accused of breaking into someone's home because her bike was in front of the home

>she claims she lived there and always parked it there

>but it seems like the police treated her like a suspect which really seems to have upset her

>it's unclear if she actually did it, or if the cops were just rude, but this seems to really be a major event in her life, even moreso than the death of her parents which she really hasn't gone into detail on

~april/may 2010

>posts some videos, claims they prove someone is breaking in. of course you don't see the act because they can disable the cameras

>more paranoid about even saving the video files at this point. Claims she is deleting the videos after a few days because otherwise they will know she has them

~june 2010

>claims she will give "10억" (won) to someone who has been through what she has been through. I'm not sure how korean numbers work, but google says this is a billion. So she claims to be able to pay someone nearly 100,000 USD, I guess her parents really did leave her a lot of cash

>a ton of reposts from last august, but no new info. Just more pictures of her swollen feet. Not sure if it's happening again, or if she just wanted to post those photos another time.

Anon here who went into this topic heavily back in 2010 with a group of 10/25 other anons on /x/, i tried to find the summary i typed up a while ago but no luck. I'll have to see if its still on my old pc, i'll let yall know.

but like i said in the post above, long story short she's just mentally ill. Agent "P" is a friend of the family, and her parents were pretty wealthy which we confirmed via a SK newpaper that a Korean anon linked us to during our investigation back in 2010. A few of us got to talk to her via email back then and she was clearly mentally ill, she does not want help.

There's no reason to keep on looking into this topic.

If yall are curious about anything i can potentially help, i obviously don't have all the answers to every question but we spent that entire summer looking into her case. Surveillance, research, talking to her, etc, so i can give you what we learned/what i can remember since its been 8 years.

You could write everything you know about her and put it on pastebin or some other similar site, with a short summary at the beginning and maybe an index if the document ends up being really long. It would be the definitive resource on Chip-chan, to be posted whenever someone asks about her.

>>43074

I'd like to read anything you can find or even remember about your investigation. I started going through her blog just out of curiosity, figured I'd post what I found here just for the sake of saving it somewhere. I never knew she was out of the country at all, and I never knew she had so many run-ins with the police. At least 2 assaults, whatever happened with the dog, and at least one lawsuit against this "P" guy. It kinda changed my opinion of her from a harmless weirdo to someone who is mentally ill to the point of being a real menace to the public.

I guess my main question is why she hasn't been given the help she obviously needs. People around her are aware of how she acts, and she has gotten violent with other people/animals on several occasions. Is there no way in Korea to have her commited to a hospital or force her to get treatment? She claims "P" had her sent to some sort of asylum at some point, do you know if that's true? I would also like to know what happened to her parents exactly. In her blog she never mentions them or how they passed away. For such a major life event she seems to gloss over that detail of her life for some reason.

I'd also sort of like to know how she writes/speaks, does she seem crazy even when she is typing stuff up or speaking? Or does she sound mostly sane? Kind of a weird question I guess, but since I don't speak any korean it's impossible for me to tell. You can kinda tell someone is unhinged based on how they write or speak, their sentence structure and word choice just feels off or is "strange" if you get my meaning. Do you know if your korean friends noticed this?

>>43128

I'd rather post the summary i typed up instead of going off memory since the actual story itself isn't crazy or anything lol, i don't want to get anyones hopes up. Also the fact that its been 8 years makes it p hard to go off memory, so i'll look for it tonight.

As far as help, she doesn't want it. Whether its from regular folk or professionals, we contacted certain Korean organizations and tried to get her professional help back when this whole thing happened but they told us they basically couldn't do anything unless she was willing to get help.

As far as the asylum goes i'm certain thats not true, if she was sent to an asylum she would still be there due to how bad her mental health is. I wish i would have saved the newspaper but from what i remember both of her parents died from health issues and Chip is the only child so she was on her own.

Since none of us spoke korean K-Anon coming into the threads/iirc really helped us out with translations and basically the entire investigation in general. K-Anon lived in the same city she was in so if it wasn't for him we probably wouldn't have found out certain things.

As far as the way she speaks from what i remember even K-Anon had trouble understanding the signs she had propped up, some made sense and some didn't. During our emails with her she spoke in english pretty well but a lot of what she said either didn't make sense at all or didn't lead to anything useful. The sentence structure was odd in her emails, really odd.

From what people around the area told K-Anon, "P" is a good guy who's just trying to help Chip out but unfortunately she doesn't see it that way.

>>43132

still hoping you come back with your write-up of what you found out. I'd like to know if you ever discovered anything more about her going to church like she mentions in her Naver blog. As far as I have read so far that seems to have been a short-lived thing. I'd also like to hear more about her self-isolation, since like I mentioned it seems like she used to get out more frequently. Even if she didn't have any friends, at least she made some effort to leave the house at times. I would also like to know more about why she went to Australia/NZ/Canada and if you found out anything about those trips. She makes it seem like she went to those places to escape this "P" guy, so why did she return to korea? Was she out of money? Or did her illness compel her to return to Korea? I guess she couldn't have stayed in a foreign country forever, but to me it seems like if she wanted to break the law and stay there illegally she could have.

Do you know if Chip has any long-term plans or goals? Like I mentioned before, I have no idea how old she is, or how old this "P" guy is. Does Chip intend to remain as she is now forever? While she has money, eventually her lifestyle will catch up to her and her health will deteriorate. Does she intend to just die in her house/apartment? If "P" is working in the shadows to keep an eye on her, is there a plan to continue this if he retires?

Well it's been nearly a month, doesn't seem like that guy is coming back with his own write-up. I decided to continue my own research, as I have little else to add and I find it personally interesting. As far as I can tell, from googling her a little bit (and especially looking through the subreddit dedicated to her), there is no "official" timeline of her life. I guess I'd like to change that. Maybe get a good document that sums up as much of her life as we've been able to figure out from what she's told us (and what others have discovered) to really document this bizarre case.

~august 2010

>starts the month posting more videos about intrusions. Obviously even the video files she posts show nothing. Her excuse is again, that "officer P" and his goons can disable her cameras.

>combined with her fear that these video files can be found and if she posts them she is endangered, the fact that anyone can look at the and see nothing is happening makes me very curious as to why she posts them

>perhaps to chip-chan, is doesn't really matter what the files show. As I said before, she said that this blog and the cameras seem to give her peace of mind, and she didn't necessarily start the blog to shed light on what was happening, just to sort it out for herself

>she claims she sleeps better with the cameras rolling, and while writing everything out like this, so maybe it just doesn't matter what she captures, but more that she's uploading something.

>the video that starts the month off shows her bed, which is small and unoccupied. A teddy bead is hung by its neck off some sort of vent in the wall, with an analog wall clock affixed to its chest

>not the first time the bear has been seen in photos or videos. I wonder what significance it has in her life. Does it mean anything to her? Why does she own it? Is there a reason for it being hung there? As far as I remember I've never seen it with the clock affixed to it.

>She also mentions going to the "Samsung Electronics Research Institute" in this very first post. There is indeed something like that in Seoul, not sure when she went but she claims to have visited.

>more photos of her foot, looks like some minor red marks. Maybe some eczema or something. Her foot doesn't look swollen

>She talks a bit about "officer P" disabling her webcam. It should be noted here that the times she claims are very short. Maybe 10 seconds, maybe 30. Very small lengths of time. It's hard to imagine anyone being able to not only break in, but also to "spray germs" and then escape the premises in this tiny length of time that the cameras are disabled. However, chip-chan doesn't seem to question it or thing twice. The cameras go down, and so in that period of time, all of these awful things must have been accomplished.

>She claims at this point that in 2007/2008, germs were sprayed on her belongings and person that caused her to develop hives. this sort of lines up with the (IMO) allergic reaction symptoms she always posts about around this time.

>more feet pictures. They don't really look that bad to me.

~sep/oct 2010

>2 posts in sep, just links to the cameras

>in october, more reposts of her foot pictures. Again, they look pretty normal. But, she also posts photos of a cop car she took while outside. The photo is blurry and unremarkable, although it is proof she was venturing outside for whatever reason still.

>more photos of her feet, not reposts. New photos of cop cars.

>I tried something I hadn't thought of before. I downloaded an image from her blog

>I was wondering how she has been taking these photos. Besides her webcams, does she own a digital camera, or are these cell-phone pictures? The quality seems pretty decent for a cellphone of the time, but she's never talked about owning either a cellphone or a digital camera

>unfortunately, it seems like this Naver site scrubs the EXIF data upon upload. Or chip-chan does it herself, which I sort of doubt.

>>43902

~nov/dec 2010

>lots of reposts of a video purportedly showing someone breaking in. Except it doesn't show anything, it's just footage of her room/front door. Until I saw her in the shot leaving the room I was unsure about the layout of her place. Right by the (front?) door is her bed, which blocks off access to the rest of the living space unless you literally climb over it

>she leaves, you see the bed, the kitchen sink, and the hanging bear with the clock on it

>the time does stop for ~2 minutes towards the very end. But it should be noted that the camera's internal timer is jumping around quite a bit

>i don't know if it's the camera settings or the shitty upload or what, but 10 seconds real time of the camera recording would be about 30 seconds worth of footage on-screen

>so either the camera is just taking snapshots every couple of seconds, or chip-chan is recording at such a low quality or whatever the fuck it is that the camera appears to us as more like a fast slideshow

>either way, a 2 minute time skip in the recording's POV is like 40 seconds or so worth of lost time to the viewer

>I don't know how to describe this exactly, but hopefully you get what I mean. We only get maybe 10 FPS recorded, so even if there's 2 minutes of missing footage recorded by the camera, the actual timeframe this covers is much shorter

>and in this period of time, chip-chan believes someone breaks in, sprinkles germs on all her shit, and leaves

>new videos, one of her at her desk seemingly asleep in front of her computer

>ROK flag hung on the wall, another stuffed animal hung up with an analog clock attached to it

>different recordings of the same thing. Her asleep in her computer chair. She seems to be in PJs, sometimes falling asleep with no blanket, other times seeming to wake-up in order to wrap herself up in the blanket. I don't know much about the climate in south korea, but I assume she gets cold and grabs the blanket and falls back asleep.

>new photos of her feet, her calves especially look dry and skin is flaking off. She posts photos of her feet wrapped in plastic, as well as the seat of her chair covered in plastic. More photos outside of cops, from a distance. Just more proof that up until this point she was venturing outside. Although now she talks about going to a convenience store as opposed to grocery stores, for whatever reason

>Dec 2010 is one of her most active months in a while, with 60 posts listed on the blog (before now it's been generally less than 40/50)

>of course, only 10 pages are viewable, and with 3 posts per page that's 30 posts….

>lots of posts of the same video that, surprise, shows nothing.

>she reposts some sort of report she got claiming that she is violating copyright. supposedly she can't broadcast what she's been broadcasting on whatever hosting service she's using

>of course, this is "officer P's" fault

>I want to note here that she has copy/pasted various things over to her blog in the past. What is interesting to mention here is that it's easy to tell when she copy/pastes stuff because google translate does a very admirable job translating stuff that non-mentally ill people have typed. I don't know if it's just because she uses a lot of slang, or if her mental capacity is diminished by her mental illness, but the stuff she pastes over is 100x more readable and generally tends to make much more sense than what she herself types up.

>first mention of another chip implanted in her eyebrow, possibly

>also the first screenshot of herself with signs up in the background surrounding her. No idea what they say.

>Seems to be talking like the goal of spraying these germs on her is to kill her.

>there's a lot of blank space here, like she had photos up at one point and they were removed. out of curiosity I used the wayback machine to see if the photos were available. they were not.

~jan/feb 2011

>more videos, showing nothing

>a weird list, seems like posts from back in late july/early august of 2010

>seem to mark times she fell asleep or woke up. Why it's posted here I don't know. Complains a lot about police siren noises, although she still falls asleep and wakes up despite the sound

>she claims to "lose consciousness" when blinking. It's unclear what this means exactly, especially when the timestamps she gives are mere minutes apart.

>>43902

I'm that anon, i haven't posted it because its nothing crazy, its just a short and simple summary of our experience that summer researching Chip-Chan. It ends in a anti climactic way, long story short Chip-Chan is mentally ill. Thats it. Nothing spooky or mysterious, she just refuses to get help.

>>43549

You tell me, CIA.

>>43904

thanks, I appreciate knowing at least someone is reading along.

>>43905

cool, I figured as much. I wasn't trying to disparage you or anything. Just wondering if you forgot about us here.

I have a bit more, but I'll be going on a trip for about a week so there's going to be a bit of a delay until my next post.

~mar 2011

>march starts off with another video, but this one isn't viewable

>I haven't been checking every video since most are probably the same and half of them don't work anymore (and I can't read the error message given anyway)

>but she does claim that the cameras always shut off around dawn

>I'd be interest to know how she's capturing this footage and where she's saving it. Surely she understands it takes up space in her HDD, and from what we see on video she only has a laptop

>I just wonder how much footage she can save at a time before it's overwritten. Maybe that's why the footage looks choppy, she's set the quality very low to record more and take up less space

>I also wonder how she decided to set up these cameras and how she figured out all the technical aspects of it

>did she have help? did someone suggest she do this? It's not terribly difficult, but it's also somewhat involved, and chip-chan doesn't really explain her level of tech expertise

>I'm not trying to say she's dumb or anything, just that it's somewhat surprising that a very mentally ill woman set this system up all by herself with seemingly no experience with it at all

>there are very few posts in march, and one of the posts is a dump of entries that she has seemingly written in february of 2011

>she claims that on feb 15, 2011 she went to the hospital after experiencing severe pain. seems like she went at ~1 am, left at ~4am

>how she could be admitted to a hospital and released is a mystery to me. any medical professional who walked to her for 5 minutes should be able to realize she's totally nuts and needs help. But, who knows if it's even true she went to a hospital. She's sleeping so much these days, maybe it was just a dream?

>in this dump, a lot of the entries are that she feels cold. She also posted something about opening the window. So it's the middle of winter in Korea and she has an open window, not really surprising she's cold

>There's a very long post here in March, posted the 6th

>he long posts have come to be my favorite because generally they tend to reveal the most. When she posts just a few lines it's usually nothing new. The long posts seem to be her calling out for help and/or answering questions that people have asked her

>this one starts the same as many of the others, trying to summarize her experience and get people on her side

>she claims to have been stalked for 15 years (so, again, since 1996)

>talks again about fleeing to australia, NZ, canada

>talks about a "Hyundai Department Store". I should note here that she's mentioned this place before. I'm not sure it's what americans would consider a "department store", it seems to be more like a general market. She's talked about going here in the past and I have a feeling it's where she used to buy food. She had a lot of problems with the owners and/or the security there and seems to have been banned for some reason. (I think you can guess why, because she thinks they're working with "officer P" and stalking her)

>she's probably stopped going, either due to being banned, or just to avoid the people she's paranoid of

>this is probably why she's now going to convenience stores to get food

>she again addresses questions as to why the police are stalking her. She claims they just are, because they're evil/bad

>talks again about this incident in 1997, being falsely accused of B&E. She always seems to link this to "officer P". Again, I don't know if he was around at this time, or if she's retroactively associating him with this.

>it's also unclear, again, whether she did commit a crime here. I really don't know, she doesn't mention specifics as far as I can tell

>she also seems to want to stop broadcasting around this time, talking about shutting down her cameras and the internet to her house.

>>44232

~apr 2011

>april 2011 seems to be one of her most recorded months in several years, with over 100 posts listed on the sidebar

>when most other months have been fluctuating between 10 and 30 total

>but, again, we only see 10 pages with 3 posts/page

>and very oddly, the posts seem to start on april 23, 2011, on page 9

>page 10, for some reason, lists posts posted on the 22 of march, 2011 when translated, although in the original korean it says clearly "2011. 4. 22" so I guess it's google translate being fucky

>she posts several clips, all the same angle/time (april 20) alleging to show a break in

>some of the videos still play, seem to feature her talking over the footage in korean but I have no idea what she's saying or if it's her talking

>the angle is different than in old clips, seems to show her front door though (it has some rope or ripped fabric tied up to the handle, I guess to serve as additional security? You can see this in earlier vids as well

>same ROK flag on the wall, but her bed is gone from the front door. Unless this is a new angle of a different room

>maybe she moves her furniture around a lot? I have no idea. Her bed is very small, in the US we'd probably call it a twin size.

>other videos, a different angle. show chip=chan at her desk using her laptop and falling asleep. The footage is sped up and very choppy

>still have no idea what she's doing on her computer exactly. She seems to be browsing the internet, but what is she looking at? She doesn't seem to be typing anything. Never talks about what she does in her free time either

>more vids, camera angles keep changing so it looks like she is moving her furniture around. Why? It's not clear. To get better shots with the webcams? Just convenience? Or because she's bored? I'm not sure

>there seems to be a recurring theme here. She sets up the webcams, "officer P" disables them and sneaks in to poison her with germs, and then she suffers the consequences of this

>but in these videos she's posting, you can clearly see her passed out asleep at her desk and nothing happens. even if the camera does "stop" for whatever reason, the timeframes we're talking about are mere minutes. Not enough time to break in and do nefarious shit and leave.

>more posts with video clips attached. Sometimes her desk is seen not near any windows, other times the window is behind her when she sits at the desk, other times it's off to her left

>no idea if she has other desks or is just moving the one she has around

>in some videos, you can see her laptop screen. the quality is too poor to make out what she's looking at though. Looks like maybe social media though, some pictures are visible

>talks about sleeping 10,13,15,20 hours at this point

>but, if you watch the video, the sleep seems intermittent. She passes out for 1 or 2 hours, then seemingly wakes up and continues on browsing. then passes out again. She's posting a lot of short clips. The sound is just her narrating over what is happening (in korean)

>>44233

~may/jun 2011

>some new clips showing her door. Her barricades are getting more advanced. There are at least 2 ropes attached to the door now, and a stack of boxes tied up in front of what I assume is the front door to her place

>the clips, unsurprisingly, show nothing

>this does seem to mark a turning point though. Until now, her door was at least quickly accessible to herself, if not somewhat inconvenient. Now it would take quite a while to clean out the area in order to even be able to leave

>videos of her asleep at her desk. The window is now on her right-hand side

>jun opens with a repost of the long post she wrote back in march of 2011

>seems to be offering 50,000,000 KRW to anyone who will help her or who has proof of what's going on (this is about $45,000 USD today, so maybe a bit more or a bit less back then)

>more long posts with multiple timestamps per day. Seem to record the end of may and early june. timestamps on these various entries are several hours apart. Seems like she posts when she wakes up (most likely), then falls asleep for an hour or two and then wakes up and posts

>in early june she talks about being very cold. Again, I don't know the climate of Korea but I wonder if it's actually cold or if maybe she has a fever or something and feels cold.

>seems to talk about pains in her chest. perhaps is paranoid that whatever "officer P" is doing while she is sleeping is to cause a heart attack. Doesn't really elaborate here, so I don't know if it's a bad translation or what

>I should also note that the times she gives here vary wildly. Sometimes it's early in the morning that she falls asleep (3/4 am) and wakes up later in the early afternoon (12/1pm).

>it varies a lot, but in general it seems like she's awake between ~8-10, then asleep from then to ~12-1pm. Then awake for a few hours (til ~2-4 pm), then asleep until ~9-11pm, then up until ~3-4am and asleep again til the morning

>don't feel like doing the math, but it's probably more time spent asleep than awake

>additionally, she mentions nothing about work or school, and this strange sleep/wake cycle doesn't seem to be interfering with her life to a great degree

>>44234

(may/jun cont.)

>in many of these posts, she uses the korean word/letter "깸" after times. I don't know what it means and google translate offers no help. Does it mean am/pm? She always types with a 24 hour clock so I doubt it.

>pain upon waking/falling asleep seems to have come back. She didn't talk about it much until now. Pains and cramps in her chest (back to the heart attack thing she mentioned) and being cold. Maybe it was especially cold in korea in june 2011, or maybe this is a symptom? I have no idea.

>talks a lot about not eating. In some posts she says she didn't feel hungry while in others she claims she did feel hungry. I assume she's going without food because she's becoming paranoid of leaving the house, and because she believes that every time she falls asleep, someone is breaking in to poison her

>an entry on May 5, 2011 claims she was arrested and charged with defamation. This resulted in a 3 million won fine. It's unclear if this is a recent thing or perhaps a result of her lawsuit against "officer P" back in late 2007/early 2008. It seems like it might be that lawsuit because she did mention "officer P" accusing her of defamation back when she talked more about that case

>there's a lot of paranoia, anxiety, and fear in these posts. She seems very upset at her inability to stay awake and the inevitability of "officer P" breaking in to poison her. It seems to me like her paranoia and lack of activity and caloric intake is probably the main cause of her inability to stay awake, but I'm not doctor

>and again, you have to wonder what her plan is in the end anyway. If she is awake when they break in, what can she do? She has no trust in the police, and is extremely malnourished. Does she want to fight them? Or just get evidence to use in a lawsuit?

>She's so paranoid they want to kill her though, but if they can not only freeze the cameras/cut off her internet, then surely any time she passes out they could come in and murder her

>I guess that might be a major part of her paranoia and anxiety, although she doesn't seem to think about the idea that she could easily be killed if that was the end goal of "officer P"

>instead, it seems like she believes he just wants to torture her for the time being

>in another long post at the end of June, she mentions again the bike incident in 1997. She also mentions some sort of incident at "Hyundai department store". It seems like she might have been accused of shoplifting and threatened and possibly detained by security guards at this store in 1995.

>she seems to have liked the place though, or at least lived nearby, because she had been documenting trips there in this blog past 1995

>it seems that only recently she stopped going there. Either due to being banned (possibly, I'm not sure) or just growing paranoia that the guards there are working with "officer P"

>she asks for help directly, urging anyone reading to come to her aid to prove this police stalking thing. She again offers a reward to anyone who helps her, a heft 50 million won

>on a side note, is this legal in korea? To offer someone money in return for testifying? I don't know but I imagine not…

>>44235

~july/august 2011

>couple of notes before we start

>first: I had been wondering if her grammar would deteriorate as time went on. I figured it would as she sank deeper into isolation and stopped going out. At this point though, that doesn't seem to be the case. Admittedly, I can't real the original korean, and so I don't know for sure if her vocabulary or grammar is dropping off in quality. However, the general quality of the translation of her blog seems to be about the same as it was in the beginning. Not perfect, but overall still just as readable as it was in 2007

>Second: though she worries a lot about "officer P" poisoning her food and clothing with germs or some other sort of poison, one thing she mentions several times throughout the years is her make-up. For someone like chip=chan who has no hopes of romance and is increasingly shut-in, I find it somewhat interesting that she mentions this. It seems like she thinks this "poison" causes the allergic reactions we see in photos on her feet/legs/hands. She seems to claim that this was first noticed when she went to put on makeup one day, and since then she has stopped putting on makeup.

>this would have occured in the mid-to-late 1990s, and would've happened around the time of the bike incident in 1997

>I wonder if perhaps this especially stressful time set off her underlying mental issues, or perhaps have her something to focus on (the police)

>since I don't know how old she is now, I'm not sure how old she was back then

>but, I think this time was a really turbulent period in her life. If her parents also passed away in this time, I think it's easy to see how her current state has evolved from how she reacted to events back then

>even if her parents passed years before or after this time period, it still seems very significant to her

>july starts with some reposts, more videos (view is of her front door with piles of junk in front of it)

>to give you an example. one clip is zoomed in on a pile of boxes (presumably at her front door)

>the timer on the camera is ticking, around 5:30pm

>the timer does stop, when it picks back up again the time is counting but it's now 5:34

>and none of the boxes have moved an inch

~sep 2011

>we start with another video, the camera is pointed at her front door (presumably)

>just to reiterate, there is a pile of cardboard boxes in front of her door. How anyone could "break in" and get over these boxes and then stack them up again in the exact same manner seems impossible

>anyway, she posts more pictures of cops which she claims were right outside her apartment/house

>as a side note, I'm not sure where she is living exactly. In an apartment? Or in a house? It's not entirely clear

>there is no EXIF data available for these photos, so whether that's a feature of the blog or her own doing is unclear

>more videos of the front door/boxes claiming to show someone coming in (but there is nothing to see on the video)

>other vids showing her sleeping at her desk in an office chair

>seems to question the viewer/reader whether they could fall asleep while sitting in a chair

>I'm sure plenty of us have, so I'm not sure the point she's trying to make here. Her chair actually looks super comfy and she often times has her feet up and is sleeping in a comfy (if not unusual) position.

>more talk about pain, especially pains in her heart (chest? probably)

>I do wonder what she means by that. Does she get palpitations? Cramps?

>>44236

I have noticed some grammatical/typographic errors in my posts so far and I have been correcting them as I read through them. I don't think any are severe enough to be an issue, but hopefully you all can read through my posts with few problems. Maybe one day this can all be compiled into a nice pastebin or other document and spell checked/formatted by someone less stupider than me. Either way, I'll be back at it (hopefully) by early january. Thanks for following along or at least stopping by my thread!

>>44232

Oh nah I understand man, you're actually going in depth and I respect that. I just didn't want to get anyone hopes up about my summary having crazy revelations about chip Chan, it's just about our short experience that summer. If anything what you're doing goes far more in depth than my little summary, keep it up dude!

There's nothing to investigate. She's mentally ill. It's sad, but her paranoid delusions are almost text book. She needs psychiatric care, e.i pills to make the crazy go away.

It depends on what you believe, IMO. Some people might believe her 100%, and agree that there is some sort of conspiracy within the police and/or government to steal her money. Personally I don't believe this, but I could see why others might. I think it's hard to argue that she isn't mentally ill, but doesn't that make her a prime target for a corrupt police officer? He knows she has money and knows she can't fight back. Eventually he will be able to get ahold of her cash somehow. I dunno, it's not unbelievable to imagine some sort of criminal conspiracy at work here.

If you don't believe what she's selling, Chip's story still is somewhat interesting. In addition, it's unique in that she documents nearly every aspect of her life. Even if you believe she is just mentally ill and experiencing the delusions that come with mental illness, you have to agree that she is probably one of the most well documented mentally ill people on the planet. The ability to explore her mental state, what she's thinking, feeling, and doing at all times is an experience we very rarely get. And Chip's been doing this for over a decade now. I can't think of any other case where a mentally ill person has documented so much of their life for the public to watch. If anything, I'm suprised more academic types haven't looked into Chip's case yet. I feel like it offers a lot in terms of studying, identifying, and treating mental illness. If doctors could figure out what and how mental illness like hers begins, maybe they could treat it early and stop people from becomming like her. I know mental illness has a lot of social stigma around it in asian countries, maybe Chip's story could help bring about change and allow people. I won't pretend my thread has anything to do with that, or that such a thing was my goal, but perhaps introducing more people to her story and showing more people might help in some way.

Personally, I think she's sick and needs help, but so far she hasn't gotten any. Even outsiders who have tried to get her help have all failed. But I don't think it's worth giving up and just forgetting about it. If we can dig deeper and figure out more about her, maybe there's some good that can come out of all of it. At the end of the day, there's no harm in investigating. Maybe we can revitalize interest in her, get people to learn what's going on. Maybe there is someone out there who can help her. She may not be a perfect person, but she doesn't deserve to live the way she does.

The "corrupt police officer" or "agent" as she calls him, is actually an old friend of the family that has been looking out for her, or at least trying to, since her parents died. People in the area confirmed this and the whole situation is only viewed as a conspiracy by people on the internet, locals know the actual story.

You are right about that second part though, this could be used as an in depth view into the life of someone who is mentally ill. She's been at it for so long, i first found out about Chip when i was about 14/15 and im 23 now. Also i think it depends on the kind of people you introduce to her story that might help, if its your average internet sleuth i don't think it will help at all as opposed to an actual Psychiatrist and even then there isn't much they can do. That is the reason why whenever i see posts about Chip Chan on here or other websites i don't like to talk about it, most people end up thinking its some crazy conspiracy and try looking into it when at the end of the day she's just mentally ill.

Also, i think i've mentioned this before but we tried to get her help by contacting local mental health agencies in her area but nothing worked out. They told us that while she's obviously mentally ill and needs help, nothing can be done unless she's willing to get help. We tried to encourage her to do this when we exchanged emails with her but she didn't care.

There's nothing more to learn about her to be honest, tldr; mentally ill girl has rich parents, they die and she inherits the money, now she thinks someone implanted a chip in her and is trying to harm her. She was already mentally ill and the trauma of her losing both of her parents added to that.

>maybe we can revitalize interest in her

I am 100% against this. All you need is a spark of interest on the internet and boom, you'll have tons of people contacting her making her situation worse than it already is. The whole story is already well know in her city, if people in her own area can't help then some internet conspiracy theorists definitely can''t either. I really don't think that's a good idea at all, a big part of why i'm so against more people finding out about her is you get these people online who feel the need to play hero and try to contact her and end up doing more harm than good. We saw this happen multiple times that summer and it resulted in her freaking the fuck out and shutting us out for a few days. I know i've said this a million times but people need to understand that at the end of the day nothing will come of this unless Chip herself does something about it.

>All you need is a spark of interest on the internet and boom, you'll have tons of people contacting her making her situation worse than it already is.

I actually do agree with you here, in some respects. The other anon I was replying to sort of posed 2 questions in my mind. I guess I typed up a response that was centric on Chip just to justify my thread here. However, I guess I wanted my response to be little more general in scope. I'll break down my response a bit and I think you'll find yourself agreeing with it (at least a part of it). The two questions I wanted to answer in his post were basically "Do you think this thread will help Chip?", and "Do you think investigating her life is worthwhile?".

1. Is it possible to "save" Chip-chan?

No. As you said, people (including you) have tried in the past. Trying to intervene in Chip's situation just results in her shutting down and shutting out the outside world. If there was an easy way to get her into the state's care and medicated it would have already been done. Overwhelming her with people online who are contacting her will result in the same outcome: she shuts down and goes dark for a time. I do agree with you there. It's just the nature of her disease.

2. Chip's story isn't worth talking about/investigating

This is where I disagree. Like you and I both said, Chip's various blogs and posts offer an awesome insight into the life and thoughts of a mentally ill person. While we can't do anything about it, I think it is worth investigating her story and background and posts to learn more about her. I think (personally) that it's too late to truly save Chip. However, I think her story can be used to get people interested in the topic of mental illness and perhaps become more aware of how it manifests and how it affects people. I don't want people to read this thread and say "I'm going to be Chip-chan's knight in shining armor", I want them to think something more like "Wow, mental illness fucking sucks and I want to raise awareness and help people deal with what they're feeling".

I hope people reading this thread don't go out and try to email her and tell her everything she believes is a lie. That won't work and only hurts her in the long run. I appreciate you sticking around this thread and checking in from time to time to explain why contacting her directly is not only a waste of time, but also detrimental in the long run.

Ultimately I think learning more about her and investigating her story does more good than bad. Info about her online is scarce, even though she's been reaching out for over a decade now. The more we can find out and record, the better we can understand how she got to this point. And even though we're not doctors or psychologists or whatever, the more accurate info we can put out, the more others might become interested in the topic of mental illness (as well as the treatment and precautions to take).

I suppose I should get back to the blog before people lose interest in my thread. Hopefully I was able to communicate what I meant well enough. I know I said I'd be back in early January but I've been kinda busy. Anyway, here's a little more:

~oct 2011

>first entry is a video of her front door, with an absolutely massive pile of cardboard boxes piled up in front of it. There's no way anyone could easily enter or exit through this door.

>on the wall to the right of the door, there's what looks like a light switch, a thermostat, and possibly a telephone. Just under the telephone are what looks like various notes (post-it note sized) taped to the wall. The resolution of the video makes it impossible to see if anything is written on these

>since they are close to the phone and the door, I wonder what they could possible be

>the timestamp on the video is Oct 10, 2011 at around 4pm

>more videos of the same view, filming to door

>as a side note, the way the boxes are stacked, I can't see how she could possibly leave her own home without moving the boxes. I don't know if the door opens in towards the home/apartment, or if it opens outwardly to the outside. Either way, there's no way she could leave without spending 20 minutes moving all that shit. I suppose at this point in time she leaves the house very little

>for some bizarre reason there's a minecraft video up on one of these pages. I think there must be some mistake, either she pasted the wrong video or some other web fuckery happened. I really doubt she's playing minecraft…

>more videos, same view. She claims time stopped and someone broke in.

>again, as I've mentioned before, the timestamp on the camera does inexplicably stop for a short period. It gets stuck at 5:07p and then picks up again at 5:09p. In this time she claims someone came in the door, then picked up the 6' tall stack of boxes and put them back in place, poisoned her, and then somehow got out and put the boxes back in the same place

~nov 2011

>only 2 pages of entries, starts with various things that seem to be timestamped back in June of 2011

>talks a lot about various pains, headaches, chest pain, back pain. Claims the pain is unbearable and makes her vomit. Seems to blame the pain on passing out, and is just uncomfortable in general

>more of the same, mentions her legs in a lot of the posts

>these posts are dated mid august of 2011, I think back to the problems she's had in the summer in past years with what is probably allergies

>no pictures at all, no videos

>By "problems", I mean she is complaining her legs hurt and/or are uncomfortable. It's a bit more general than previous years, but I imagine it's the same problem. She has hives or something breaking out on her legs/feet

>>44704

~dec 2011

>starts with more posts from august for whatever reason

>another long post with some copy-pasted stuff. She's said all this numerous times, nothing new to learn

>I should note, as I don't think I've said it before, Chip can be very vulgar at times. She writes a lot of curse words and seems very angry when discussing "Officer P".

>I don't know if it's google translate or what, but all of Carlin's 7 words are represented here

>now posting logs from sep 2011, same stuff as usual, passing out for minutes or hours at a time, reporting the same symptoms. Unbearable sleepiness, then waking up and recording it. Is this what she's doing at her PC all day? Just keeping a log of when she wakes up from her short naps?

>this is somewhat interesting: On Dec 20th, 2011 she posts a screenshot of some sort of program that lists the connections (with IPs) of views/connections to her webcam

>the original screenshot is too small for me to see what program she's using, but she has thankfully copy-pasted the data into her blog

>there's a ton of "guest" connections listed, all with various IPs

>now, I'm not a smart guy, and tech stuff is kind of all witchcraft to me, but Chip has basically given anyone and everyone access to her webcams

>and so, this is more or less expected. She posts public links to her webcam feed, and so a ton of IPs are going to connect from all around the world to view the spectacle

>there's 20 IPs listed, more or less, and she doesn't seem to look into each one, but treats to huge number as proof that "officer P" is hacking her internet or whatever

>and this is the essence of the Chip-chan we know today. Completely paranoid, even though it is through her own actions that she has allowed so many foreign connections into her own network

>and, this is why I wonder about her idea to set up the cameras. Was it her own idea? How did she figure out how to set them up and get them online when she doesn't seem to understand the tech behind them all that well? Was this someone else's idea? In that case, who told her to do it? Is there someone out there she trusts enough to follow their suggestions? This is a major question I would like to have answered some day

>the month ends with more vids of her front door, completely blocked by boxes

>it's the same view as before, from a different angle

>she seems to be moving the cameras around with some frequency for an unknown reason

>again, the door is completely blocked from floor to ceiling

>ropes of some construction are also tied to this pile and end off camera

>the phone is again visible on the wall, but I can't see any of the post-it notes anymore (might be the angle, or perhaps they've been removed?)

>This may be a different door, but it's hard to tell

>it's also hard to imagine she blocks off more than the front door in this manner, as it would take a long time to move the boxes if she wanted to go to another room

Oh wait, I'm an idiot. It's not live right now, it's a recorded livestream from December 2018.
