Ripping paper? Drawing random pictures? If this is SM, what do those things have to do with him? o_O

@above

I have yet to dream about slender man, but I keep thinking I see him everywhere at night.

I like to walk my dog at like, 11pm so...lol.

[TheAtroxious]

Good job. I look for slender man like figures when I'm coming home late, which is quite fun. Gives me something to do during an otherwise uneventful trip, anyhow.

[Xenophobe]

So I'm not the only one.

My bedroom has windows on all sides, everywhere, without curtains. I feel so exposed at night now, like he's watching me. >_>

[Omega_Absolute]

he is

[AxMxK]

So, do you think these guys are trying to come up with some sort of biblical/religious origin behind Slender Man?

[Sirdangolot5]

THIS IS TEH POST

Tl;dr version:

It was Alex's house.

Brian probably never was there.

It was a trap laid for J by Totheark.

We can analyze the stuff inside now.

[El Mono]

I agree

[DavFlamerock]

[Kilo]

What analysis is there, though? I thought pretty much everyone got the memo that J was lured there by TTA. I mean, I feel there is a pattern here in terms of TTA/SM, but I don't think a whole lot of people share that belief with me.

As far as concrete evidence goes, all we have are things that are odd that make very little sense by themselves, but make even less when put together. I mean, we can try all the interpretation we want, but at the end of the day, all we can really do is chill and wait for the next set of videos to come out. Which sucks, but this whole shindig has basically been that.

Everyone else's Slender Man dreams are mostly rational, mine are just outlandish >:C

Slender Man can't actually sing Weebl songs... Can he?

[pleh!]

I only go on about this bible stuff because totheark has sent clues in the forms of scripture, though admittedly in the Koran as well. But I figure since both the Old Testament and Koran share some portions (The Koran I think begins with Abraham, or they share Abraham stories, or something...) I figure this might be a different way to look at things that I, at least, find interesting.

Plus, this may not have been envisioned as an ARG, but the JAF and totheark were added, making them the game part. The actual MH footage moves the story along, maybe providing the rare clue.

In Addition, the video description was //eyes\\ and the end of the video flashed "see you." Biblically, eyes which see, intelligence and faith are signified; for their seeing the Lord, and also His miracles and works, did not make them blessed; but comprehending them with the understanding and having faith, which is seeing with the eyes; and obeying, which is hearing with the ears. That to see with the eyes is to understand, and also to have faith, may be seen above (AC 897, 2325) for the understanding is the spiritual of the sight, and faith is the spiritual of the understanding. The sight of the eye is from the light of the world, but the sight of faith is from the light of heaven. Hence it is common to speak of seeing with the understanding, and of seeing by faith. That to hear with the ear is to obey, see (AC 2542). http://www.biblemeanings.info/Words/Body/Eye.htm.

I take that to mean that totheark sees and understands the hidden truth in this story. That would figure well with the other allusions to 'truth.'

Also, the only other videos that actual words in the descriptions are Operator and Exit. Curiously, Exit's description is "remember me." To be 'remembered' in the bible denotes to have compassion, and thus from mercy to preserve or deliver. http://www.biblemeanings.info/Words/God/Remember.htm.

I thought that was really interesting. Totheark may be telling us to have mercy on him/her; to look kindly on him even if we find totheark's methods unconventional.

Operator's description was simply \\\yes\\\. I thought that struck me is that, though the name 'slenderman' may appear in JAF pages and in non-cannon backstory, is Operator the actual name of the slenderman in Marble Hornets? Does he 'control' people, as has been postulated on these forums? If so, does maybe totheark under that control, which is why he needs our pity? I know that's nothing new, but I was in the totheark = slenderman theory subscriber, but my recent research makes that unlikely, if it holds water.

I get a sense of righteous vengeance in all this, for some reason. Something terrible has happened and once the truth is revealed, we will see a terrible exacting of payment.

[pleh!]

BTW, the stigmata were in videos Program and Advocate. Program came after #14, where Alex had a close encounter with SM and a wound on his head.

Stigma equals six. Six is an important number in the bible, meaning combat. http://www.biblemeanings.info/Words/Number/Six.htm Also, the binary code indicated "YAGA," Baba Yaga is a mythological spirit who steals children, lives in the woods, and has a creepy housem (credit Grooze and kevrock.) Maybe totheark is fighting SM (Yaga) the best way he/she can.

But then the stigma appeared over Brian in Advocate. With the upside down tick tock and binary clock count, I originally didn't think much of it, but if you take the stigma to mean combat, I wonder if maybe totheark isn't saying that a battle with Brian is inevitable and the counting down is his time running out, which someone else mentioned here.

I'm starting to think that Brian did something terrible three years ago. SM is an avenging spirit or dark angel that began to control Alex to exact holy revenge. totheark could be Alex, still under some influence, trying to ward off J from similar fates when you cross SM.

Unfortunately, JAF is only a side story. There's no evidence it holds any sway in the Marble Hornet's universe.
