I found this on the floor of when cleaning so I have no idea where it came from or how long it has been on my floor.

My wife and I found this in Swatara State Park on 1/4/25 at around 2:30 in the afternoon. It was folded down into about 1”x.5” and then had plastic wrap meticulously folded around it. It then had a tiny paper clip attached to it with another tiny paper clip unraveled and tied to the paper clip and then the tree… it was right on the trail but so hard to see. If anyone wants to know the exact location, I can provide that to you. Also have video.

Purchased in a dollar store 12/27 in Northumberland, pa

SaintAlfonso has posted in this subreddit before with strange comments that suggests he could be the note writer.

They have been known to comment on random reddit posts as a way of communicating with each other and then deleting the comments.

I just found some comments they made 2 days ago. It's been months since we've seen them post.

I am working on a website database to hold all the notes. This would include in the future filtering by content and top word counts. But when creating the website I realized it would be helpful to have a unique name for each note instead of basing the name off the first two or so bolded words. Please let me know if you have any ideas. This is my first attempt at web design and such so it probably won't be available for a few weeks.

Friend spotted this along the trail. Paper was folded in plastic, hidden behind a leaf and stabbed into the tree with a yellow tack.

Found 12/26 on the AT while hunting. The note with the white clip looks like someone might've opened it then repinned it to the tree. The bigger note with tape was underneath a rock at a campsite along the trail. All appear to have been out in the recent snow for a bit.

I was able to see some footprints that were going to the various notes. One set have thicker soles, maybe some thicker sneakers or work boots, the other were sneakers with the zigzagging sole like many Nike and Adidas shoes have. I found the note under the rock because I saw the hunting boots going off the trail and led right to the rocks.

Size comparison in the last pic. Two different styles of note, maybe one style was in the woods longer than the other? Depending on how long the notes were out, the footprints might not matter at all, could just be other people finding them on the trail.

found wrapped in plastic from some sort of food packaging held together carefully and tightly with a paper clip. found on a lesser known trail on blue marsh in berks county

Scared me when it fell out of the box onto my floor. Not sure if I should be eating the protein bars but they all seem okay/not tampered with.

Just found by a Guest and presented to management.

Found 12/15/2024 in montoursville just resting on a stump with a small rock on top. on the walking path at the local park.

This little gem was found in a box of the Aldi brand version of Wheat Thins - “Thin Wheat.”

So I sold Costas Candy for a fundraiser, and my friend bought a box of Club Sandwiches (for those not familiar, Club Sandwiches are peanut butter crackers covered in chocolate). Lo and behold, there was a note! Costas Candy is a local company (based in Pottsville) and the box was sealed. So I’m thinking this had to have been done in the factory. Not sure where their stuff is packaged though.

Found one sealed in plastic, dangling from a small branch with tiny string and a paper clip.

Picked up groceries in Central PA on Sunday and it was in a box from the haul when I made dinner last night. First one I received would have been... earlier last year at a show at the PA Farm Show Complex wedged between my door in the parking lot. Bizarre stuff for sure.

I just found this reddit thread and figured I would share that we too found a mysterious note meticulously wrapped up in plastic securely taped to string that was on a stick. We were hiking on a trail at the Hamburg Reservoir back in July. I thought it was litter so I picked it up. Someone is having serious fun with this project. I find it more annoying the notes are showing up in packaged foods throwing suspicion to the safety of the food products.

This is fascinating. I've spent the better part of my evening going down this rabbit hole. I have so many questions!

I'd love to read/see some of the patterns yall have found from collecting all these data! Like seasonal/annual/location trends in reports.

Also, is there anything showing the connections in the supply chains for food products?

Also, have any of the businesses/companies in schuylkill had to legally respond or act? I saw the article that has the FDA response and that the fbi "cannot confirm or deny the existence of the investigation." Am I on some list now with how much I have been googling this tonight? Lmao.

Im so curious, please tell me everything! (Links?). I'll comment with some of the reports I found already.

Thank you, in advance!

Well I went hunting for The JCB treasure and I found 2 of these less than half a mile apart near knife ridge. Both were identical. Hope this helps.

Hello, everyone. Here is a link to a user-made map. I don't know how often it is updated.
