Well, if this entry proves anything, it's that J has balls of steel. I wouldn't have gone to that house at night after watching those videos, let alone return... at night... after someone followed me and made creepy video taunting me.

Well, that's it, guess I solved it. J's balls are Marble Hornets. GG.

Alright, time to address some things:

We don't know who this attacker is. Logical assumption it TTA. Making any conclusions past that is silly. We don't know who TTA actually is, because he was wearing a mask.

I'm not sure, but I think J stabbed the attacker, who then convulsed and then went still for a few moments. Then while they were fighting [I guess], someone shut off J's camera. It gets picked up, and shut off. A third party is my bet.

Voo Doo dolls, in reality, are not made to harm people by poking them. That's a myth. Voo Doo dolls are supposed to be symbols of luck, depending on what's drawn on the figure's chest. A heart, the symbol of money, or a star, are common things. This doll had nothing, and was incredibly long and thin. Slender man lol.

It looks like J got dumped off where Program was shot, looking at the trees.

Ho' shiz
LT IS BACK BABY!

Wow great to be back....

I'd like to start with my personal opinion on the events

Whoever the masked figure was(for the sake of argument I'll say it was Alex) was not actually attacking J, but throwing him out of the way, of SM who was about to attack J from behind, getting hurt himself.(there by causing the distortion(from SM's presence)

Why WAS J dumped off though? Why would the stranger/TTA let him live?

And J seems to be getting worse in his illness, if the memory loss is any indication.

And yeah, the stranger knew that someone was coming to the house. Someone had locked the front door, and it's pretty logical to assume it was him. But how come he didn't lock the back? Did he just not know it was there, or was he just trying to make it a little bit harder for J? A "test" maybe?

And if the distortion is anything to go by, TTA/The Stranger is either somehow related to Slenderman ((mind control, maybe some sort of cultist or something)) or Slenderman himself popped up near the end.

Think about it this way-

if J walks in the back door, he has to climb over a couch, pass by all the hiding spaces created in the "fort city" in the living room, and finally make his way to the front door. This allowed for the masked man to come out of hiding and sit on the couch blocking the back door - placing himself between J and the only wide open exit in the vicinity. Sure, he could try to unlock the front door to run, but if the masked man was out to hurt him (jury is still out on this one,) he would have caught up and got J before he had a chance to - the masked man was rather fast.

However, if the front door was left open, J could walk in, go right up the stairs and avoid fort city all together, which means that the masked man would have had to either wait for J to come back down, or follow him upstairs. Waiting for him to come back down would involve closing the front door to ensure J didn't just bolt out the open door when he revealed himself, and the noise of the door slamming might make J aware that someone was there waiting on him. Following him upstairs would be fine if his goal were to hurt J, but we can't be sure that was his intention. Also, I think someone wanted to keep J away from the locked room upstairs - either the masked man, or a third party, but either way if they had let him in the front door, he would have been right at the stairs and much more likely to make it to his destination.

This leads back to the original argument - if the masked man wanted to keep J away from the room upstairs, he might have been trying to protect him from SM or TTA, knowing that TTA was luring him up there for some reason. Or, if TTA was trying to help J, and the masked man wasn't there to help him, then he may have been trying to prevent J from getting upstairs to TTA - or at least hindering his ability to.

I guess we just need to wait and see what TTA's response, if any, brings.

Perhaps the masked being is one of TTA's "henchmen" or something? TTA seems like a manipulative bastard, perhaps he has guards keeping him protected.

Or perhaps, the masked being is with Slendy and is keeping TTA TRAPPED? Perhaps he's being forced by Slendy to do something, and the responses are his warnings/trying to get info out albiet in really really hidden ways so Slendy wont be able to detect it.

So far for what this thing is we have:
TTA himself, or a bodyguard/captor
Brainwashed member of the crew? Perhaps part of a Slenderman "cult"
Or even an interloper, but I don't think thats really possible.

I think the memory loss is really important. Both this and 17 have highlighted it, so I think the purpose of 17 was just to show Slendermans mental influence on people, and in 18 we really see it happening with J losing the memory of his entire escape.

Alright, this is my first post here. I've been following Marble Hornets since the inception of Slendy himself on SA's GBS board(I lurk there, too poor to pay for an account). Here's my opinion.

It seems to me that people tend to black out/forget things due to SM's influence or control. From his beginning, it was implied that SM could sort of . . . make people do things. I'm getting the feeling that that's what happened to Alex way back in Entry 14, and that's what's happening now.

In Entry 14, we see SM go into Alex's room, then we see Alex get up and the tape stops. It jumps to him staring at something off screen. Something that's not the camera. It's been my running belief that Alex left, being controlled by SM, and killed Brian. I feel this is supported by J finding the bullet casing and blood in Entry 16, as well as the locked door.

Now, in Entry 18, we see something similar. J's camera "stops," and he wakes up in the morning somewhere unfamiliar. He notes that his knife is missing. Why would he do that? Perhaps under SM's influence/control, he killed someone. Like Masky, for example.

I don't know. I think if TTA responds we'll get a better idea of what went on. That's just my two cents.

By the way, I really doubt the masked guy would wait with a mask if he wasn't aiming to attack J

Of course, if Slender Man is a paranormal entity the mask could be some sort of protection against him. Maybe, since he has no face if someone wears a mask hiding theirs it makes it harder for him to do anything to them... A little far fetched, I know but there's weirder shit in myths, like vampires not being able to enter a house without being invited.

That said, I do believe that Masked Man was malicious.

MAYBE my earlier theory about Slenderman using TTA as a means to the internet was spot-on.

I like this idea.

However, TTA has shifted from helpful to threatning in his vids, so perhaps threatening is when Slendy has him do something, and the helpful ones are from TTA himself?


Also in some stories Slendy does have eyes. Either really, REALLY bright ones that shine, or just like...sunken in spots in his skin where eyes would usually be. He NEVER has just regular human eyes though.

It could be argued that the black thing is the hood. But I just have no idea about this person, so I'm leaving well enough alone for now.


alright you people actually think this is a girl? if you'll notice the structure of the body and guttural NO sound it makes.. then you'll notice it is definitely of male gender. from here on out let's forget this person having the possibility of being Sarah.

Well well, you're awfully pushy for a guest. I say its too early to rule out anything definitely, and even if it weren't I wouldn't sideline an entire possible identity for the masked character based on one sentence - a sentence that has just as little proof against it being Sarah, as there is proof for the argument that is IS Sarah. It's just too early to tell.

If you bother to read the threads, we determined that the "guttural NO" you referred to may have in fact been made by a third party in the same room, near the camera at the time. Also, there isn't a single shot in the film that shows a clean outline or profile of the person in the mask, which makes it impossible to compare body type. There isn't a clear second person next to them for you to compare size or girth to. Also, the film is dark and grainy for the most part - again, its not clear enough to say who it is or isn't until we know more.

I'm sure everyone would be happy and grateful to you if you wanted to add to the discussion by posting theories or facts, but please refrain from telling everyone what to think outright, especially with no real proof to back up your claims. A lot of people might take that as being impolite.
