Has anyone thought that maybe it's not Jay in the video, but Alex? It seems a little far-fetched at first, but Alex's footage showing up on Jay's hard drive wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen in the series. Although that doesn't explain why Alex would have the chestcam....

Jesus, pleezus. You've got it- I definitely think that's the best audio fix we've had. So then... wow, I don't even know what to say >>

The second audio clip is reversed. Played backwards it says Alex's name.

EDIT: Nvm I'm stupid XD

Perhaps Alex had the chestcam as a 24/7 no matter what self security measure...like after Amy turned the camera on and Slendy came back, he started filming himself again, or something. Maybe Jay went and found Alex at the beginning of the 7 months like he said he was going to and got the chestcam from him. And then got his memory wiped so obviously he wouldn't remember how he got it.

That does make sense. It could be possible that they did find each other, he just forgot for whatever reason (does anyone else think prolonged exposure to Slendy gives Amnesia?) and now he's back at point one.

Just a question, since I'm currently not at my own computer, and therefore cannot use Audacity. The audio clips that say probably say 'Alex'... Do they sound anything like the sounds in 'Deluge', the reversed and slowed sound of a girl saying 'Alex' repeatedly?

I'm not entirely sure I like the idea that this footage was from Alex. For one, Alex's camera records to DV tapes, and that's the camera he and his gal pal fled from his new house in, and for two, Jay seemed unfazed by the chestcam when he woke up, implying that he had previously obtained it for use in his misadventures (he was probably sick of dropping the handheld all the time).

On the other hand, Jay has obviously had to download any taped footage to his hard drive in order to edit it and upload it to the internets. And we (read: I) still have absolutely no clue what happened in those seven months.

To me, this latest video fits in with the theory that either Masky or the Operator is (or both are) baiting Jay, luring him toward whatever end they have in store. The "noentry" title, quick edits, high contrast, quiet voices, and heavy distortion all seem to indicate totheark (although if that's true, the fact that it was marked "no entry" and Jay made an entry out of it anyway might mean Jay's in for some unpleasant consequences).

I was always a fan of the idea that there were multiple Maskies, one for each of the vanished friends (and Tim). Maybe the Operator wants the full set?

These days I do all my restoration work with iZotope RX. I swear, the iZotope people don't code, they work miracles. They also do my mastering suite of choice, Ozone.

Gee, thanks. I don't really know what to say either Razz

Other than that I love this sort of stuff, so if you guys have been having trouble deciphering some of the other audio distortions, let me know.

Oh shit. I'm really hoping we don't get another 'Masky breaking into Jay's room at night' video. I nearly pissed myself last time.

Well i thought it did, and i also made the assumption you made. xD
But playing with it more made it sound more man like and sound like "Guess who's here?"

In response to the "jay is stupid" thing- normally, it sounds a bit like "Are you set?" or "Are you safe?"


You sir are a genious, messing with it I coundn't find anything but jay blabla jaaay.

After what you said.

I FOUND IT.

Or atleast I hope I did.

I'll upload it, it's pitched up and speed at 3.00

It clearly (well...) says. "Are you safe? .... Jay..."

Mocking his, I feel safe now that I am changing hotels.

Well shoot, I was posting speculation in the wrong thread.

Anyway, when Jay opens the bloody clothes he stands up and takes a few steps back. Apparently, there was something in the cloth.

There was also a very distinct sound from 0:37-0:40. I don't know what it is, but it seems worth mentioning.

Next up is the distortion on most of the tears, they seem to having timing conflicts between the frames.

Hey from a passing audio/music nerd and lurker/n00b. The audio distortions in MH have always intrigued me, and when I heard these new ones I had to take a crack at 'em.

I have some pro audio processing software and this was still difficult to work through. However, I was able to get the voices to a near-audible state.

The first voice



As in Entry #23, this seems to be a forward-speaking voice in a high, then low register.

To me it sounds like "I see... you," a conclusion I leapt to because it sounds very similar to the audio in TTA's Addition, which was a voice slowed down and saying "I ... see you" backwards. Here's that clip for reference:


The second voice



This one was quieter and less distinct, but when I reversed it I thought it sounded eerily like "There you-" which I guess would be someone about to say "There you are." Considering that this happens immediately before the Operator shows up, it makes sense to me.

Anyway, feel free to draw your own conclusions. If this still isn't good enough I can maybe try to work the noise down some more this weekend.


I'm allowed to piss myself, right? Can I be so scared that I excrete in my trousers, or is that wrong? Because if that's not allowed, I'm in trouble.

Listening to those files was more unnerving than watching the entry. In other words, GREAT WORK, MAN. If you have more time, work with some of the strange audio from totheark's channel.

Oh, my freaking freak. Every time I listen to that I have to turn around and check behind me!

Notes, Analysis, & Speculation

Given where this file was located an the naming it is likely that Jay is the cameraman, however, there is insufficient evidence

to verify this.

The fork that can be seen at the beginning might be an exit of some sort.

At 0:30 the camera turns sharply to the left, this is most likely the cameraman looking over his shoulder to see if they are

still being pursued.

The tearing at 0:33-0:34 seems impossible as the camera is pointing down for the top portion and up for the bottom portion. It

appears that the portions are from 2 different points in time.

At 0:36-0:40 it looks as if the cameraman turns around because he heard something. Or it could be they were turning to look at

the blood in puddle.

The voice at 0:43-0:44 sounds like it is saying "Joseph". It may also be "closer". The first onset cannot be made out (the 'j' or 'cl'). The second coda is also vague ('ph' or 'r'). Alternatively, it may be saying "Are you safe?"

No clear view of can be made of what was in the cloth.

The voice at 0:52 sounds as if it is saying "Jay". Again, the onset is hard to make out.

The voice at 0:54 sounds as if it might be saying "Jess" or "Seth". Again, the onset is hard to make out. Additionally the coda is a bit distorted. It could be something else. Really, all I have to go on is 'eh' sound followed by something.

Neither of the above makes much sense, more analysis is needed.

The audio distortion at 0:55 sounds awfully familiar, didn't a similar audio distortion when the Operator appeared in a different Entry? Maybe it is a sound specific to the operator.

The clicking sound at 1:02 might be the camera's audio giving out. Although it sounds kind of like a mouse click as well.

The hand of the cameraman appears to be male.

The blood flowed from the rock area to the puddle near the entrance.

Niiiiiiiiice...

although I don't appreciate the start of the audio coming in so loud when I have my headphones on! I shall join the debate later - now I must make the perilous journey to work.
