Entry #21 was posted on December 21, 2009. Its description is "1 of 2". It is tagged "marble" and "hornets". In total, the clip is 5:24 long. Entry #22 is the video that Jay took when he went to the red tower from Entry #5 during the course of the Winter Solstice Twitter Watch. The video is a montage of clips showing Jay's hike to the tower, including a curious hole in the ground which appears to cause faint distortion. Arriving at the tower, Jay examines it, and then approaches closer. The tower has many small holes in it and at one side it has the Operator symbol scratched on. Jay walks around it and discovers that it is a triangular prism in shape with an open top and a door-shaped aperture at the back. A beam sticks out the top to support it on the ground, and inside the tower the structural supports limit space for mobility. However there is a ladder built into one of the inside walls, a ladder which Jay climbs. At the top he finds a metal case. When he opens the case back at the bottom, he finds another tape that has been left inside. At the end, Jay says with his traditional text overlay saying, "I will be watching the tape I found soon". The second part of "part 1 of 2" is Entry #22, where he watches the tape.

Entry #16 was posted on October 16, 2009. It has the description "searching." In total, the clip is 7:57 long. Jay approaches the house at night, with only his flashlight and camera. The door is locked, and no one appears to be there, so he goes around to the back where he finds an unlocked glass sliding door. Inside, the house is in disarray as if someone has been squatting in it for a while. There are coupons and drawings everywhere and the power is out. Jay picks up a water bottle he has found and the video tears, followed by a soft audio distortion1. After that, Jay begins to cough irregularly throughout the rest of the Entry. He tries to open a door but finds it locked. Just after that, he spots some blood drops dried on the floor and follows them to a bloodstained sink. Beside the sink are some bottles of pills—some of which he takes. As he turns to go back downstairs, he drops some of the drawings he has collected and picks them up, finding on the ground beside them a bullet casing. He takes that too. Again, he drops the papers at the top of the stairs, but only manages to get two before a coughing fit propels him down the stairs and out the door.
