The Tape
She-is-here.com and its companion site, the-tape.com, seem to be fairly obvious marketing attempts to 'blairwitch' the upcoming sequel to the horror movie, The Ring (i.e. to create hoax websites to generate interest about it). But still, I've received a couple of worried emails from people who have watched 'the tape' and are a little concerned, so I thought I should post something about it. As far as I know, no stringy-haired decomposing girl is going to crawl out of a well and kill you if you watch the tape. Though I'm playing it safe. I made my wife watch the tape. She then made the cat watch it. My cat is the one posting this message (she hit the mouse button with her paw to click submit), so if any one of you watches 'the tape' she'll be safe.

Been reading your bio Rod. The Ether Bunny? It's scary to think that I just may know what it is that you are refering to.

Alright. Googled it. I do know what you're referring to. Now I need to go wash my brain with soap.

hey everyone, im here because ima scaredy cat whose afraid to watch the silly 'fake' movie.
i hear u speaking about Dark Water- its good, iv seen it (d/l it actually!). there are no subs, but u get the idea. visually its very cool, but its not scarey like ring. you feel conpassion for the little girl in Dark Water, but she isnt anything like Sadoko. which is a nice change. but still nice effects, etc...

It was a roleplay. The roleplay continues on http://www.ringscommunities.com.

I don't think that the-tape.com and she-is-here.com no longer exist. I used to go to she-is-here.com all the time but neither of them show up, even when I use google and click on the link. I know it was a hoax, and a funny one at that.

I can't open the link! it seems to be dead!

It's called an ARG (Alternate Reality Game). I've been playing for years. People watch the-tape.com, and are led to she-is-here.com by a link at the end of the tape. The site is made out to look real, but if you go on the forums there is a page you can click that says "Yes, this IS just a game." It's actually very intruiging and a lot of fun.
Sorry you guys don't have imaginations. =(
