Mithost, didn't look like anybody responded to your post about putting together a summary. I'd like to see it... either make it a .pdf or put it in the Game Discussion? Or maybe put it up at the wiki?

In regards to trout-doom, chill; trouters gonna trout and all that good stuff. Also, you can't take away from me the need to post copious thoughts and speculations just because you posted it first! *shakes a fist*

That said... crap, I need to get back to class!

I'm starting to think that maybe the symbol isn't anything other than a callsign meaning "Slender Man." :/ It'd be nice if it was something more complex, but I'm not sure it is, and if it is, I'm not sure we'll be told. But hey, it could somehow be the key to the whole series; you never know with MH.


Could be right. Although to be honest I'm probably not the one to ask since it's taken until I read through this thread for me to connect the OPERATOR symbol with a camera OPERATOR. Embarassed

On a related note. Excellent entry. might be back with some nonsensical ramblings later.


It could always be referring to a mathematical operator.

Wikipedia wrote:
An operator name or operator symbol is a notation which denotes a particular operator. When there is no danger of confusion, an operator name or operator symbol may be referred to more briefly as an "operator". Strictly speaking, however, the operator is a mathematical object and not the syntactic entity which denotes it.


The "operator" in this case being Slendy or Masky and the "operator symbol" being the crossed circle used as a shorthand to refer to one or both of them.

No, because he doesn't.

Anyone else think this looks like the "pipe scene" at around 3:21 in entry 22?

I still hear "and I'll be right behind you" even in your slowed-down version.

EDIT2: after listening a few more times, I think it could go either way. What's interesting is that I hear it more in the slowed-down version.

Something Else

There was something else I noticed that is probably not that important but I thought I'd bring it up.

When the girl screams and after they run a bit, in a frantic state she yells "WHAT IS THAT" a couple times. Now the thing that bugs me is that she said 'what' and not who is that as if SM is very inhuman in appearance at close range.

The reason I find this interesting is because in previous entries, when people who hadn't seen SM before see him, they usually think it's a normal person (or someone they know, like mistaking for Tim in that one filming entry) from a distance anyway. I just thought her reaction was interesting.

it looks ALOT like it, and its easier to hear it slow because there is less of amy breathing

I could get duhed for this but here goes. Has anyone else considered that the tape on which the video that the girl recorded is the same one that was sent to J therefore if slendy/masky/who ever is after the tape they might becoming for J?

I'm not convinced that the "Skulley shot" was caught in the Slendybasement. The lighting is too bright and even, and the size of the opening (on the Z axis, towards/away from the camera) looks to only be a few inches. Much more likely that it was filmed through a small hole in a wall or door, though it lacks the fish-eye distortion that most door peepholes have.

In fact, I'm wondering if it's a mask, even. It looks too... rounded. Almost like a balloon. Then again, with all the distortion it's difficult to pick out details.

EDIT: Strike out that second part. Looking past the mask, you can see a curved line in the background, which looks like the corner of a wall being bent by a fish-eye view. Could the shot have been taken through an apartment door of some sort?

Pretty sure the masky in the eye is a masky.

You know I think we now have the pieces of the puzzle to answer several questions. I am not really sure though. You see, the whole slendy rape seems awfully scary and nothing more than HOLY CRAP ALEX IS ALIVE.

Let's look at it this way, the second masky, the whole slendy being near cameras and the tape, the whole static of the tape before that, the whole audio, the help me, the fact that ALEX HAD INTERNET CONNECTION THE WHOLE TIME.

Yeah. I'm sure that we can use this entry to answer many questions.

WITH ENORMOUS LEAPS OF IMAGINATION.

*Cough* Slash theory is more likely now tho. Seems too fitting... HMMM.

Probably not going to help much, but the O/0 with the X through it is the "Operator" symbol, right? Maybe it's talking about helping Amy. Alex was pretty calm (assume that wasn't the actor's...acting)...he doesn't need help, she does? Just thought I would put that out there.

I'm not really sure about the nature of the "help" message. The operator symbol seems kind of extraneous there, but as people have said, it looks like the same style of handwriting in Alex's drawings. I think Alex acting pretty calm can be attributed to the fact that he's seen Slenderman before (and possibly the acting bit, too, haha).
