Trust me on this one, you can see similar factors in all of them.


They all have walls and carpet too!

The house in entry 1 had a window on the front door...in 16 and 18 there was no window on the door.

I think they either used the same house on purpose or they are just reusing it because of their limited budget or whatever. I'm sure you know what I mean?

if you watch Reno 911, some of the other characters are just them with a mask/altered voice Razz

Hey folks, I've been following this thing for a while via this forum and the SA thread and I finally decided to stop lurking and make an account.

Anyway, my idea is that TTA, Alex, and the Masked Man are the same guy, and he's serving SM in some capacity. I think the use of Silent Snow, Secret Snow in Signal was a big clue about Slenderman's effect on people. What starts as a haunting of sorts gradually builds into a fascination, then an obsession, then devotion/servitude/possession/whatever. The mask, of course, would be an attempt on Alex's part to emulate his new, faceless god.

TTA's videos do not strike me as something that would have come from a benevolent entity. Creepy, almost threatening videos with vague clues and puzzles aren't how you communicate with someone you're serious about helping. It seems more like Alex/TTA is screwing with J, for his own amusement and/or to serve some kind of purpose for SM, whether it's killing J for publicizing Slenderman's existence, turning him into another slender-minion, or whatever. It would explain why the Masked Man, assuming it's TTA/Alex, wanted J to return, only to attack him.

The obvious glaring hole in my hypothesis is that TTA would have had the chance to harm J when he was recording his coughing fit during the first visit to the house. However, he didn't try to communicate with or assist J, either. Maybe, for some reason we don't know yet, TTA was unable or unwilling to interact with J at all during the first trip, hence the "SEE YOU" and "COME BACK/FIND ME" taunts.

Or my theory totally sucks and I'm not even close to right about any of this.

Hey there. And don't worry about your theory. I don't think it sucks. I actually agree with you on Alex possibly being involved here. No one's theory is perfect, so don't sweat it. Welcome!

I've got to say, I'm really done with a lot of speculation until TTA posts a video response, or doesn't in is usual time frame.

Omg, "Alex"'s twitter is such fail. It looks like it was made by some 12 year old who thinks he can get our attention this way. XD

I really hope this is just a way of establishing suspense, and totheark posts right when we think he's not going to; at the last minute.

I hope whoever it is doesn't do anything to directly interfere with Marble Hornets. God, I'd hunt them down and kill them.

I think the story would be able to progress without TTA, but it would lose pretty much all of its ARG-like elements. So we'd probably be kicked off the Unforum or somesuch.


Bruce Wayne wasn't the only person to don the mantle of Batman. Even if the masked man -is- TTA and something happened to incapacitate him it doesn't mean that someone else can play the cryptic messenger.

Maybe a mysterious "Covenant" begins to reply. *Shrugs.* There could still be the "game" aspect, just coming from a different view.

what, like "bad" videoes from him[newwtheark] in the future with clues to TTA's actual vids, allowing us to work out the identity of the original?

Trust me on this one, you can see similar factors in all of them.


As said before, entries 1/6 have windows beside the front door and have those semicircle kind of windows above it I think..
11 and 16/18 aren't the same house since the layout of the floor below the bedroom in both of them is different, and the room that would include the trash cans in 16 in fact is kind of a small studio in 11.
3 and 8 have wooden-patterned walls which don't fit with entries 11/14 or 16/18, but I think they might with entries 1/6.

So you would have 3 different houses.

House 1: Entries #1,3,6,8
House 2:Entries #11,14
House 3:Entries #16, 18

There are parts of house 2 we didn't see and it was way too dark, so hosue 2 and house 1 may be the same one.
And Entry #17 could belong to any of them, since all houses contain windows on the second floor (in entry 16 the window he sees is in fact the one from the room behind the locked door blocked by the red chest, unless that door helds a hallway with more rooms).

I wouldn't doubt that J might start to get one or more people to be around him and help him, possibly as "protection". If he ever, ever went back (Unlikely) I think he would bring some help, he knows that there are malevolent entities at every possible turn from now on. If not, J would win the fool of the year award.

Reason for tta's Vagueness

Don't have much time-- but from what I have read about ghosts 'n' junk, sometimes they don't really know what is going on on the other side-- came can be said about spooks and other paranormal baddies. (Providing tta is, in fact, paranormal.) So, maybe he is just learning about all of this/unconsciously projecting videos onto youtube. Who knows???

Eh. I used a really bad metaphor that made perfect sense in my head but failed completely after I wrote it down. Here's a metaphorical situation.

Alright. So let's say ToTheArk doesn't respond to this video. It confuses J and possibly leaves him without a clue on what to do next. With no other choice he returns to the videos. He finds something interesting. He doesn't get a response. Completely lost he makes a new video that complies all the clues. Still, it seems that he's not going to get a response.

Then, a new user becomes known. He calls himself "Covenant" . While he's just as cryptic as ToTheArk, he seems more benevolent and helpful – yet it would be a new character for a new act.

This. I'd rather keep ToTheArk around longer than have someone replace him.
