Cassieiswatching is the name of a YouTube user who garnered notoriety for "herself" after posting a video featuring locations from the Lonelygirl15 videos "Swimming" and "In The Park". Because these locations in the Los Angeles area were believed to be know only to the LG15 production staff and cast, a great air of mystery still surrounds Cassieiswatching as to how she came into possession of such knowledge.

The creators of the Lonelygirl15 project have disavowed any connection to Cassieiswatching. [1]

Origin

Cassieiswatching posted her first video on September 12, 2006. The creation of Cassieiswatching appears to be inspired by the unvealing of Lonelygirl15 has an interactive multimedia production [2] and not a real video blog on September 7, 2006, as identified by the tags "bree" "tells" "lies" on the This Is My Story Now video. The video ends with a voice saying "come and get it" apparently to invite Lonelygirl15 viewers to participate in an alternate reality game. The game has succesfully leveraged the use of multimedia and interactive content to generate clues for the participants. Clues have been discovered in two videos, an altered Bible page, a voicemail message and several puzzles using morse code and anagrams.

Alternate Reality Game

Clue #1 This Is My Story Now video posted on September 12, 2006

The video is shot entirely in first person perspective with no other people present. The video begins with a voice saying "I was here" followed by still shots of a rural park. Then, the viewer is walking along a dirt trail. Next, the viewer has a stationary view of a stream (in the foreground) with a rock wall (in the background). A bag suddenly falls from outside the top of the frame into the water. This is followed by more still shots and a voice saying "come and get it".

The location is Los Angeles National Park, the same location used for the Lonelygirl15 Swimming video.

Clue #2 The bag in the This Is My Story Now video

This clue has not been recovered and is believed to have been stolen. <add info on alternate clue #2>

Clue #3 When I Get to the Bottom Where I Stop video posted on September 17, 2006

Again, the video is shot in first person perspective. The video contains mostly color inversed images and reversed audio. It begins with two birds in slow motion with a person saying "I was here" in reverse. <add>
