Also, I try to have an "Occams Razor" approach to this ARG. Basically, the simplest stuff is what's true. Alex got haunted by Slendy shortly after starting Marble Hornets, 22 was the last entry before he handed the tapes over etc

This.

That

 		I'm not sure if anyone has said this, but in entry 11, if you go back to the end, just before Alex lays back down, one of the drawings on his wall is of slendy. One of slendy's arms splits into 2 at one point. So I think it is the same slendy as the mythos, they just have yet to introduce some of the other elements of the legend.

 		Sorry to backtrack, but something bugs me about the activities during #21....

Why do Jay's cell photo's that are posted on Twitter (presumably on the 20th of Dec 09), show an EXIF date of the 17th of Dec (the time of day is quite different to the time he was posting as well)?
I guess anything can be explained away as lost time / psychosis. IMO, it was a mistake on the part of the guys running this whole thing.

 		Some interesting facts about the circle/cross symbol (sorry if this has been posted before)...

"According to Porphyry of Tyros, the Egyptians used an X within a circle as a symbol of the soul; having a value of nine, it was used as a symbol for Ennead."

"In classical Athens, it was used as an abbreviation for the Greek θάνατος (thanatos, "death") and as it vaguely resembles a human skull, theta was used as a warning symbol of death, in the same way that skull and crossbones are used in modern times. It survives on potsherds used by Athenians when voting for the death penalty.[1] Petrus de Dacia in a document from 1291 relates the idea that theta was used to brand criminals as empty ciphers, and the branding rod was affixed to the crossbar spanning the circle."

 		So, BACK ON TOPIC (take the bickering elsewhere). I'm dissapointed with J's lack of movement. I know its his month of (OoG) but that means that IG J has been sitting in his house, curled up scared shitless after the tape for a few weeks. Sad Jay, we miss you!

 		Brian
Ok this is my first post and the only reason i made this account.

I believe people aren't paying enough attention to brian.

In entry 20 and entry 17 you notice that nobody knows where brian is. I believe that this is not an OOG reason like people have said, but that brian has a much more important role in his "missingness", if that makes sense to anyone else.

 		I don't think it's a matter of not paying attention, but we really don't have enough information about Brian to work with to make informed speculation/.

I think Jay needs to go back to the house, remember the words said in
signal "Go up to your room." From what I remember Jay didn't go upstairs,
to the bedroom or maybe I need to rewatch #16 but in my opinion
the house is going to be our best lead again.

Does this make any sense?

I pay a lot of attention to Brian, just not in the open.
Because I have nothing to say other that I'd like to see more of him...
hehehe

Very interesting find, imo.

We dont really have enough information about ANYTHING to make much on an informed guess. But I think speculating about brian is probably a good thing. Right now, we know two things. One: He's missing. Two: He been prominently missing in the series (entry 20). And according to Alex, he's "gone" just like everyone else.

I just had a thought. What if the video (Entry #22) wasn't as recent as it seems?


It doesn't seem 'recent' to me. This whole 'Marble Hornets' filming deal went down three years ago IG, correct? Alex gave Jay the tapes and got the hell out three years prior to what takes place now, from what I understand.

Alex says at the end of #22 that he's going home to burn the tapes.
Jay says in the introduction video that Alex was going to burn the tapes, but he convinced him not to, and to give them to him.

In my mind, Entry #22 is right before he gave them to Jay.


I believe that this tape has to have happened after he gave Jay the original set of tapes. I base this on the fact that in the extra part taped to the end of Entry #22, Alex says that Jay is gone (atleast i think he said this I don't know cause im in school right now) so if Jay is in fact "gone" alex wouldn't have been able to give him the tapes.

I think that Alex is going back to find out what he did with the tapes and then burn them, but he doesn't realize they were/are with Jay because of his memory loss.

Predicition:
This seems to me like Alex is going to reintroduced into the the series in current time because he found Jay while looking for the tapes.

YES!
Well, this is what I think anyway. It would explain how we don't know who Seth is [though doesn't help that J doesn't tell us in the captions] and IMO I think he says he's going to burn the tapes as in he absolutely must, he can't live until he know's they're destroyed. I know he doesn't say 'I must find J and make sure they're destroyed' but I at least think it makes sense.
