I have a feeling that we're supposed to connect the two, though we never see Masky with a camera, or Masky in one of TTA's videos... Jay connects the two in one bit of Episode. Still, we can't quite rule it out that they're NOT the same person!

[BaronVonCakeman]

When Jay was running around the house, trying to figure out why he keeps warping to the same room, he eventually goes into the bathroom, and suddenly winds up in Masky's room. You can tell he's confused, as he's looking at his feet like he didn't know what he was standing on. He opens the door, and sees Masky's mask hanging on the door, also just in time to see Masky close the door. Jay then goes in the door, and finds himself in the basement place. This door is the same door that opens and closes itself in Admission.

EDIT: I still say that "basement" is Slender Man's universe. I remember from JAF (I know the two aren't related, it's just where I got the idea) there was the thing in the book that says something about Slender Man treading in our world. I dunno what happened to cause Slender Man's existence, but I'm thinking his basement place is like his point of origin or something.

I've heard theories that Slendy is the ghost of a burn victim or something. I don't like those theories, but if they were true, then the place Alex, Seth, and Jay were taken to is probably like the memory of the place he died. This could also tie in to why people black out all the time when Slender Man is near. It could be a defense mechanism, or it could be that he feeds on memories or something. It's part of the "field" he lets off, which ruins camera footage, and if he's angry enough, destroys the camera completely.

Just theories. I don't know if I'm truly loyal to any of them, but they're just ideas that I think could be possible. Maybe Slender Man lives in the dream world, and that's how he gets to you, like Freddy Krueger or whatever. Maybe he stole Jay's soul when he was down there. Maybe that's what Alex meant by "gone". Maybe he already had Jay's soul, so he just returned him to his house. Who knows?

uhg... and when slenderman does that freaky head tilt at the end of 23, it totally reminds me of Admission too.

This may answer the question of how Alex first encountered SM, to be honest. Maybe that house is a gateway to SM-land, and they stumbled across it, and somehow let SM out (admission shows him walking out of slendyland). Alex and Seth's journey in that other entry was like an expedition.

so did a screen print... Masky?!?! LOL LOL its in the tunnel thing people think Slendy is sleeping in (dont remember who said that)

I honestly think Tim was the one to bring Slender Man around the first time.

Based on Baron's theory above, here's how I think it goes.

Slenderman is stalking Tim, who sacrifices Sarah to Slender to save himself. (Alex was normal when Tim was having his coughing issue.) With slendy appeased, Tim begins to get better and goes back to normal. Alex then stumbles across slenderman, and Alex's tapes begin.

Alex then perhaps unwittingly gives Seth to Slenderman, and then runs for it. J then has the tapes.

That theory blows my belief of Seth being TTA out of the water, though...

Maybe Brian is TTA. He's the only one that J actively went looking for other than Alex and Tim, and it led him to the house, where a lot of this seems to be stemming from. It would also sort of explain how TTA had the footage of J in the house- maybe the house is actually Brian's house! Not Alex's as we thought.

That place still seems to me like "hellish" version of the house, representing Slendermans ideal environment.

[Erebus]

Maybe being Masky is a sort of virus. Tim could have been the first to be Masky, then Alex, and I guess J is next.
