 The truth behind it (?)

I try to make it short:

Alex accidentally saw Slenderman and even recorded him on some of his tapes. For some reason, Alex is obsessed by Slenderman and tries to hunt him (maybe for a talk, questions about the unknown). Slenderman, who just wants to be alone and erases the memories of those who have seen them, refuses the talk to Alex and keeps on erasing him memories. After some time Slender realises that he gets recorded and he cannot just erase his image from the tapes.

So that was the situation: Slenderman just wants to be unseen and secretly approaches Alex to get rid of the tapes. Alex on the other hand tries hard to get in contact with Slender and even gets distressed outa it. Alex knows that Slender dislikes being on cam, so he leaves the camera recording all the time around him.

After some time, Alex realises he cannot approach Slender directly, so he gave his tapes to his colleague Jay and told him to "Burn them". This of course was only a trick because Alex knew Jay would never burn anything video-recorded because he is a film student. Also the "Burn them" comment had the effect of being mysterious. So Alex bet on the common sense of Jay.

The plan of Alex is, to change the stalking target of Slenderman to Jay, since he knew Jay would reveal the tapes to the international audience. Then Alex just uses Jay as an Operator to get in contact with with Slenderman. Also he created the youtube account totheark to send indirect messages to Slenderman. But the main purpose of the account was to drag Jay more and more in the aim of Slenderman.
The only thing Alex had to find out at least was to find out where Jay lives.
So as we recently saw, Alex found out where Jay lives and even succeeded into the plan of getting Slender to follow Jay now.


As for Slender himself: He isnt aggressive at all. He may be some higher being or even alien or some bullshit. But he has the ability to remove the memories about him and uses this ability to travel across the earth.
As for Alex having the distortion ability: I think Slender manipulated Alex's mind that often, that Alex kind of obtained some of Slenders skills.

Now that is my theory of what happened since today in the Marble Hornets ARG. What WILL happen though isnt clear though. Alex seemed to catch Slenderman. If they talked or if something else happened, cannot be said.

I hope you guise kinda agree with me here or you find some flaws within.

I don't know, I just always wanted to use a Trout.

I just think this could have been posted in a myriad of the other theory threads or the trailhead.

I like this theory because it manages to explain the entire story. I'm kind of sick of people posting random speculation/wild theories that may explain a certain video, but falls apart in the grand scheme of things. Also it seems plausible.

So thumbs up bro.

It certainly makes some sense but do you think Alex deliberately put the gun shell in the house/blood in the sink, then appear in 14 covered in blood just to entice J into it? I mean he may have been the anonymous tip to the house but I think something more sinister happened to Alex, maybe he shot himself and his dead body is being used as a tool by slender man i.e. the masked man/totheark

Uhhmmm....

Slenderman almost NEVER, EVER talks. In fact, I think he only did it in one of the stories, and never in the videos.

My response to this:

Elms = Me


Elms says:
*Kay. SM has never talked. Also, if SM didn't want the tapes to exist, he would have taken/broken them whenever he wanted. He's BEEN in Alex's house. And totheark is already proven by SA and Unfiction to not even BE Alex.
Noel says:
*Oh?
*I wasn't aware of that.
Elms says:
*Also, if Alex bleeding in Entry 14 is caused by SM, why did he attack Alex and not break the camera? Or break the tapes?
Noel says:
*I never thought TTA was Alex myself.
Elms says:
*Also, instead of following Alex wherever he went, and making him more open to being TAPED, he could have gone to Alex's HOUSE and GOTTEN the tapes.
*SM also has no MOUTH, so he can't talk. >>

I don't think it's cool to just assert your position as the "only" true one. Give some evidence that Slenderman can't talk, Alex isn't TTA, or that Slenderman would want the tapes destroyed or even operate in such a manner. We're dealing with a fictitious character whose backstory IN THE COURSE OF MARBLE HORNETS is unknown. He's displayed no relation to the Something Awful myth thus far besides vague appearance and stalking behavior. So as a standalone story we know NOTHING.

if you wanna go for the blood.. lets think about the blood:

in entry 14 he probably got a hit on the head and it caused him to bleed (if it was a laceration he probably didnt feel it hurtin or bleeding but he couldve had a massive headache). But lets face it, the bleeding isnt that bad considering the timespan:

Minute 1: Get hit, bleeding begins
Minute 32: Blood went down the face, not very much blood

Also notice the ammount of blood on the ground (Entry 16) and the the ammount of blood in the sink. There is kinda the ammount of a weak nosebleed on the ground but the ammount of a huge gushing nosebleed in the sink.

This all is doesnt fit.. unless we think over something.

In Entry 14, J didnt say if the video jumpcutted or if he turned the cam around the change the tape. He just said 32 minutes passed. What if
1. the tape froze like in some other videos
2. Alex rewound to see what the cam had on
3. J lied to us and left out something

I like the 3rd option much, since totheark posted the video Messages and tells somebody has been keeping secrets which could only be Tim or Jay. I dont see Tim in the picture at the end. Tim has more destinctive facial features. I cant really tell for Jay though.
I say Jay is keepin something from us. Something he assumes to be dangerous and only Alex knows that because, well, he made the tapes.
Also back to the options, IŽd say we could even combine all options together and it still makes sense.
(Also Jay never showed us what pills he took with him or how the drawings look like or if the bullet was used)

As for the bloodstaines. I cant get over the fact that the ammount on the ground is lower then the ammount in the sink, unless its a gushing would and the wounded person did cover up the wound (or its nosebleed). If its the wound on the head from Alex, it wouldnt even drip (the blood wasnt even flowing down his face, it was already dry).
Here comes another part of my theory: 2 different houses.
Its not rare that some houses might look alike in America. Even here in Germany we have alot of houses who look alike inside. Of course there are similar things inside the videos that would speak for the Same-House-Theory but then I like this thread much: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28780
I will go for the red shelf thing. I believe they are 2 different shelves. IŽd like to agree with gonzaw there.

So IŽd say, one house from the earlier entries is Alex house. The house Jay visited is mostly Brians house. Now we know less about Brian. He could also have spotted Slender and couldve fallen for him and maybe recorded him too but thats too vague and cannot be said.
We just have to wait for more material Sad
