Very good points by Marble Hornets and others about Tim appearing to know the layout, at least generally speaking, of the campus. He didn't bat an eye before climbing down those stairs and crawling under that weirdly low entry (the design of which strikes me as really odd; does anyone know why it would be constructed like that?).


As for the construction, I'd like to know that too. I noticed a similar setup at the college that I went to, except there were no stairs to get down there that I could see. Bugged me every time I walked by there. Sad

So the knife that Jay picked up, would that be the one that Hoody was really referring to? Or did he just leave that there since Jay chose the flashlight over the kitchen knife? Either way, I don't think it's going to do Jay anymore good than the other ones he's had, no matter who's waiting for him in that building.

I noticed some users commenting on the name of the hall. I'm willing to bet that's the OOG name for the place too, and they're just taking advantage of it. I've seen buildings on campuses with names that included "ten Hoor" and "Memory Leake"...

When I saw the buildings I immediately thought of "Program" with the building in the background and I remember the decoding of that video was something with the "Ark".

Hello, gents. First post here, decided to try to let you guys know of some background on this school, assuming you haven't heard (because I haven't seen this information yet on these forums, and couldn't find it on either Tim's or Jay's OOG Twitter feeds, and I didn't know it until myself and my cousin went looking for some info). Apologies if this has already been known.

After a quick Google search,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Benedict Hall is a real hall at a real school. Specifically, St. Bernard Prep School. Historically, it is a part of a monastery of Benedictine monks. Benedict Hall must be an abandoned structure within the school.


What I would guess this would mean for the next entry, is that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the "Benedict Hall" sign out front is legit
. More importantly,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it is indeed quite likely that there's some kind of religious overtones to the building and what's in it...

Unless you've found information on this exact school that was used, then none of this is information is for this school, it's only speculation.

Given that that school is in Alabama I'm inclined to agree with it being the location, there can't be that many Benedict halls right?

That picture room was creepy. Anyone got a screencap of it?

Aaarrrrggggg!!!! I hate you for pointing that out before I did. I was like, "wow what great symbolism that is. Let me post this up on unfiction so people can finally see how smart I am, I just need to check that no one else posted it annnndddd......NOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Lol but seriously that was pretty creative of trophsephim to throw that in. I wonder if we missed any other symbols, clues, motifs, themes etc. I really wanna make a post on that. I saw some great ones on reddit.

If this is indeed the school they used (and I think it might be), then this is an arial picture of the main part of the campus.



Very distinct architecture, in my opinion. With a campus this small it isn't actually terribly hard to believe Jay is finding it easy to just randomly see Tim and lose interest in the escaped hooded man.

Guys, the St Bernard Prep School mentioned is the location they shot in! The attached image is pulled from their Facebook page (you can see the image on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152056044756255&set=a.132975441254.129388.47995276254&type=1&theater)

The Luigiian, nice find. It's still only speculation though but after researching more I'd say there's a nice chance that might be the underlying meaning with Benedict Hall

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I do wonder though if it was a bad idea for them to film at a school that's in use though. We all know crazy MH fans' bad reputation for finding locations and "visiting"

Also new theory, the old man in the picture is Hoody

There's a building in the video that is clearly visible on the photo from the school's website. Although that facebook photo is probably more conclusive Wink

I don't understand the chronology in this entry. It's already been established (I think) that IG time is not necessarily OOG time, so it might have taken Jay far less time to get to the campus from Tim's house than what was the OOG time (some 2 weeks), but still, wouldn't Tim by then have seen Entry #78? Wouldn't he know Jay's after him? Wouldn't he - I don't know - call him maybe? Very Happy In the entry he looks like he has no idea Jay's after him but that doesn't make any sense.

Also, now that Entry #79 is up, he must know that Jay's been following him, what is he gonna do? Shouldn't he confront Jay or at least be more cautious when he walks about?

And finally, since Entry #79 is up, everyone knows where Jay is and what he's up to, so there's hardly any point in watching the building much longer - everyone's gonna know Jay's watching. Also he's hardly safe in there.

Jay said 79 was the day after he got away from Tim's house. That means IG 77 and 78 were posted the same day, and 79 the next day. I doubt Tim would think to check the channel again that soon.

In addition, 80 will likely happen only a day or two after, so it's possible Tim will find out, but all of this is happening in a short period of time IG.

Good entry. Two things that bother me:

What is on the back seat of Tim's car? It looks like some kind of tool.

In Entry #77 Tim takes Jay's camera away from him and uploads some footage to the channel. Hoody comes and frees Jay, and returns the camera. The next day Jay goes to the address and finds Tim there too. So at some point Hoody broke into Tim's place, took the camera and gave it back to Jay. Why did Tim wait to go to the address? Did he want Hoody to take the camera back to Jay? Did Hoody leave some hints for Tim?

Something that continues to bother me: Tim arriving at Alex's college around the time the operator arrives is too much of a coincidence for me to get my head around. There seems to be a piece of information missing there, and this entry hints that there's something more than a coincidence going on. I was never very good at solving crime mysteries!

Okay, this is really bothering me. Since we see Tim come to his car to retrieve the chest-cam before he starts poking around, I want to know: where was he and what was he doing prior to that?

Also, we don't have any real way of knowing if Hoody took back Jay's camera and left it for him in #78.

As for Tim knowing the area better, I just had a thought: maybe it's just because he's had more time to investigate. Jay showed up a day after Tim did; maybe he ignored the building Jay was in because he checked it out the day before and found nothing.

And now for my daily dose of paranoia: since Tim found that room (the one with the pictures, bloody hand prints, and penknife)first, how do we know he wasn't the one who left some of those things for Jay to find? I mean, if nothing else, why would he see a knife of any kind laying out in plain sight, and just leave it there? I wouldn't, if only to make sure nobody could use it against me if they happened to go into that room after me. Maybe all his talk about being worried about Jay's mental health is a front; he really wants Jay to be the one doing the dirtiest work, and his post-#77 text statements were an alibi to keep people (us) from accusing him of using Jay/setting him up to take the fall Shocked .

What was Tim doing before he got his camera......?


That is a VERY good question I never thought of. I doubt it'd be expanded on or anything and was just put there for storytelling convenience though Sad
