What on earth is this? (Found outside my house)

[brooklyn66]

Yesterday came home to find a bit of folded-up paper wedged in a crack in the fence wall bit (pavement goes right past it). Opened it up to find 2x2p coins inside unrecognisable writing - see pic!
What is this?

It's not an obvious occult language for spells.

It's not Hebrew and it's not Pitman.

Maybe it's someone with a mental health problem of a psychotic nature- it makes 'sense' to them, but not to others?

to me it looks like the work of someone with schizophrenia or other disorder

I agree, I think it's someone suffering from psychosis/mania/hypomania

I've never seen writing like that, very strange

Do you have a closer picture of any sections? I've just run those pics through a translator and it comes up with gibberish. All random symbols and slashes and odd letters and numbers. No known language.

If you ran my terrible handwriting through a translator it would come up with gibberish too. 😂

I love all the more dramatic suggestions but I suspect the truth is much more boring and that it's just untidy handwriting in a foreign language.

Maybe it's the fairies at the bottom of the garden paying rent?

I think it's a wind up

It's interesting whatever it is. The 2 X 2p's freak me out because they were used in times gone by to weight down eyes & pay the ferry man as someone has said.

I'm thinking maybe a code, a bit like they'd use during WW2.

Twins sometimes make their own language too. But they use standard alphabet.

It's neither any Eastern European language nor cyrillic.Trying to decipher it and I'm good at mirror writing even upside down but no idea.

You need Giles from Buffy. He'd know.

It's either infinity symbols at the beginning, crosses to mark 'completed' or 'to do' but it's weird how most sentences fit each line really well.

to me it looks like the work of someone with schizophrenia or other disorder

Yes. I saw this on Law and Order SVU once. I think they called it hypergraphia?

It looks like a spell to me.

Some of the letter look similar to Arabic letters
There is a 'wow' (y) and a type of 'd'
The whole thing doesn't look like Arabic
But I'd imagine it is a less well known language

I'd post it on the Reddit link listed above
There are lots of clever geeky folk there and I'm sure one of them can figure it out

Everyone is saying creepy so - just to be on the safe side - I'm not looking at it!

Its not Elvish or Middle English ( I don't think its germanic in base) x

I agree and think its Hypergraphia x

.

I can't sleep (had a GA today so body all out of synch) and now reading this has freaked me a little bit!

I would post it on Reddit like PP said & someone should come to your rescue. It's intriguing.

My personal guess is that it should be read "top to bottom" with the red line at the top of the page. So that would narrow it down to Chinese, Korean or Japanese. It looks like quite a messy "handwriting" style so difficult to decipher individual letters. With the Chinese New Year recently that seems like a big coincidence. Do you know anyone who is fluent in Chinese who could take a look at it?

Its not chinese, japanese, or korean.

I love the degree of speculation on mn. I can't believe all the people suggesting mirror writing. Surely it would be obvious if it were English words written backwards!

Perhaps it's a curse...

Its not chinese, japanese, or korean

Agreed! It's 100% not any mainstream east or south East Asian language.
