The hallway mirror at 06:40. That angle needs a door open that was not open.

the man with the clipboard
The clipboard man was back this morning. That is four times in eleven days. four. Same circuit of the lot, same little motion with the pen at nothing, and he carries the clipboard facing out, which no one who actually writes on a clipboard does, you hold the board toward you, I carried one at the depot for two years so I know how a clipboard rides. The shirt says property management. I ran the company name spaced out, then abbreviated, then with the LLC on the end. Zero. Not thin, zero, and I have been running names since before the truck pages went up (the truck pages are still up, check those dates against these).
A real company leaves a smear somewhere. A permit. One angry tenant. My father kept every receipt in a shoebox with the year on the lid. Anyway. Eleven days is the lot interval too, I keep the times, the times are going on their own page. He never looks at the building. Not once. The pen isnt even clicked open.

IT LOOKED LIKE THIS BUT WORSE
This is the closest thing I have to a useful rendering and even this is wrong. The shape is too calm here. In person it had that half-finished look like it was still trying to decide how much of itself to show.
I do not mean a ghost exactly. I mean something that stood where a person would stand and used the outline of a person because that is easier for the eye to accept. It was darker than this and less stable around the edges.
If I say it looked like smoke people hear smoke and that is not right. If I say it looked like a man people hear a man and that is also not right. It looked like this but worse.
further evidence, they said

The Van Is Always There
White van, outside my house, same spot. It was there when I woke up. It is there now. I have not seen anyone get in or out. There is no work being done on the block. There is no reason for a van to hold that position for the amount of time this van has held it. I photographed it again.

The Faces Are Always Looking
Found this on my phone. Another one.

have you seen this man
I keep seeing this man in places that do not connect. Parking structures. Walkups. Convenience stores. The edge of lots where there should not be anyone standing that still for that long.
He seems to appear more often when there is a camera nearby. When I notice him, he is already turned away or moving off like he knew exactly how long he could remain visible.
The last close interaction went bad fast and I am not going to write the whole thing out here. If you know who he is, send information only. Do not tell him you saw this page.
known details
seen at parking structures, convenience stores, and near apartment walkups
usually turns away before full face is visible
appears more often after dark or during camera blind spots
has been observed alone but may not be acting alone
do not approach
if you recognize him, send information only
do not tell him you saw this page
entry_0004 :: orbit map, or something like it
21:09 -- diagram found in the glove box -- five orbital groupings -- I did not put it there
21:09. diagram in the glove box. five groupings. I did not put it there.
Folded in half, tucked into the back page of the owner's manual like a bookmark. I have not opened that glove box in three years. two maybe. doesnt matter. It was not there before and now it is. Five groupings of circles, orange and blue, the small circles set inside or against the big ones, and they run left to right in an order. An order. Scatter does not line up.
I took it to the man at the hardware store because he doesnt ask the wrong questions. He looked at it maybe ten seconds and handed it back and said it reminded him of Caleb Dunn. I left. I still have the receipt from that trip. Hinges, $6.40. I keep receipts now.
People will say "pareidolia." Sure. Circles are circles. These circles were folded into MY car.
Five. I counted again this morning. still five.

entry_0003 :: no face again
17:45 -- same man, different location, still no face. Every time he passes he's already turning away. Same gait. Same shoulder angle. Same exit pattern.
17:48 -- I stopped writing "coincidence" in the margin.

entry_0001 :: tuesday
14:11 -- Same silver sedan as yesterday. Not close enough to read plate, but the left tail light has a vertical crack. I wrote that down two days ago. Same crack.
14:26 -- Woman in red jacket at the bus stop near 31st. I passed once, doubled back after fuel, she was still there but facing the opposite direction. Could be normal. Felt rehearsed.
14:37 -- If this is confirmation bias, why are the details repeating before I say them out loud?

The Leg Changed
THAT IS NOT MY LEG. I have looked at this image for two days and it is not my leg. Someone sent this and labeled it as mine and the label is wrong. I know what my leg looks like. I know the specific scar on the left knee from the thing that happened in 2019 and it is not in this image. Whatever they are claiming this documents, this does not document me. This documents something they want me to believe is me. I am keeping it because it is evidence of the substitution.
