As long as we are airing weird theories: Slender man seems too inhuman, too inscrutable to be a personification of guilt in the style of Silent Hill. However, what could be is that his presence is so unnatural, so not of this world that it warps the psyche in such a way that the guilty self-destruct because of it. Slenderillnes could just be the mind burning itself up because it cannot comprehend what it sees, and guilt exacerbates the problem.

Also, I don't think that the Slender Man is malicious. By which I mean, I don't mean he particularly wants his victims dead. Or necessarily understands the concept of death. Killing and bagging organs may just be how he communicates.

I don't have any direct evidence, but for a invincible, teleporting, mind-erasing agent of otherworldly terror, he sure has a low number of kills. A determined human could have turned Jay, Alex and the whole Marble Hornets crew into hamburger by entry two. Smile

OK guys, WILD speculation!!

We have the nod that Slenderman would take "monsters", people who would grow up to do terrible things (or maybe also who did terrible things), sort of like a buddhist garbage man.

This would tie with the Silent Hill stuff, and probably also lead to the killing theory, to which I will now refer to as the "Lost Highway"-theory. If you've not seen the film, watch it now!!!

So Lost Highway theory - I'm not confident this is true, and I don't think it is for various reasons (Jess has no reason to kill Jessa at all), but here we go.

Somebody has sent Vince pictures of mangles animals, then the bags turned up. We are still not 100% sure what that was inside of the bags. Jessa has not been heard of/seen since afterwards. This could mean somebody who had interest in it sent Vince the pics to creep him out and then killed Jessa and put her into the bags, masking it as Slendy.

I don't believe in this - where did Slendy in this scene go? Why does he turn up at all? Was he there to show the guys the remains of Jessa, making then acknowledge what one of them has done? Possible, though unlikely.

So we know Jeff has a childhood trauma as well as Damsel. We don't know yet of Evan, Jessa and Vince, and also not of Alex.

What we know about them:

- Evan's nightmare
- Evan's and Vince's drawings
- Jessa's drawing of a "balloon man" (CREEEEEEEEEPY)
- Alex taste for gory horror films
- Evan's taste for BIG knives

So Evan could be a candidate for a psycho. If Slendy is the buddhist garbage man this theory would make him to be, then he might stalk the group because Evan is a danger to the others. However, what about Jeff's past then?? Has he set the school aflame? Was that why he hid in there and wasn't hurt?? After all, being trapped in a burning school, yet not suffering any scars is unlikely.

But still, why did Jessa disappear? Because she was alone? We have as of now not seen any ties she might have had to Slendy, apart from Damsel and having a balloon-man drawing. Notice that Evan seemed to have been stalked, as well as the entire group, but Jessa is by far not as involved as the others are. So why her if it was Slendy?

So yeah... now I confused myself... Embarassed

And kind of made myself believe Jeff could be guilty...

EDIT: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NEW CLUE!! :O

OK, this justifies a new post...

This has to be a clue. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to just throw that out without a reason. Maybe to rase awareness to who the guy is - but why?

I looked the quote up, and whilst there are dozens of links with the quote, there's no information where it comes from, or what happened at the site of the burning.

hmm.. Looking up articles in the Chicago Tribune about LArry Langford only brought me two articles that caught my eye.

One of a fire that had an unknown cause

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-06-11/news/0606110334_1_chicago-fire-department-20-unit-building-larry-langford

Although, it started in the stairwell, not the roof..

and one about another firefighter that seemed to get in trouble for a chatroom he made

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-08-04/news/0408040357_1_chat-room-fire-department-internet-site

Although, I'm not sure if either of these articles are related.. though I am curious to what kind of chatroom it was. haha.
