 		TBG that's actually pretty good, especially since Masky seems somewhat less than menacing in this entry, more like he was just saying "Boo" than actually trying to do harm.

 		For some reason, I wouldn't be suprised...

Has he ever actually tried to harm Jay though? Everything that happened in entry #18 between him and Jay happened off camera, so we didn't see if he was actually being aggressive or just trying to scare him then too. Then in a later entry, he's in Jay's room but doesn't touch him at all, and again in a future entry, he's running from Jay when they're in the house.

[Crazy Theory - hold onto your hats! Btw, I don't actually believe this is the case]

Its been mentioned in the past that closing a door and then opening it might not necasserily lead to the same room - especially when Masky is involved. Now - hold on, this might get rocky - what if that wasn't Jessica's room... what if that was Masky's room? Somewhere else in the hotel? Jay only said he hadn't seen anyone else around, but that doesn't mean the other rooms weren't occupied.
[/crazy theory]

There was a fair amount of teleportation in Entry #23, but it always seemed to be accompanied by distortion in the recording. I don't see that this time.

What I think happened, instead, was that the moment Jay closed the door in #32, Jessica's room was displaced (hence the freezing). For all we know, she's wandering around her own "version" of the hotel, wondering where the hell Jay went.

We've seen more than a couple of instances in MH where doors did bizarre things.

 		wow alot of crazy ideas in 1 day.

the theory of masky not wanting to harm j may be true, but his running start the first time we see him in season 1 was close to violent flailing. his motives behind scaring J should definitely be looked into. masky and the operator always show up with tapes so either he doesnt want J to find those tapes, or he scared him away to hurry the hell up.

my first guess sounds more accurate though. Jess could be TTA and thats how she recognized J when they first met. during the past 7 months J and TTA met up and something happened where they both lost their memories and either masky got jess or jess remember she was TTA and ran for it.

And i agree with pretty much everyone, it would be cool, but it doesn't seem likely (in regards to the Teleportation theory)


Bob, thanks for pointing this out. As I trudged through the 23 pages of this entry, I was going to post the same thing since some people are pronouncing it as an established fact.

We have a good case for Tim=Masky, but no evidence of Masky = TTA. Granted, TTA and Masky are linked somehow, but that relationship is undefined.


Entry 19: "Totheark, who I suspect is the person wearing the mask, knows where I live."


That is Jay's assumption and not anything else. I will expound on my thoughts in the TTA Missed Connections thread, since this is the Video #33 discussion thread.

Don't expect a TTA video channel response to this video. The TTA responses have been absent since the Response from Video #22, but there may well be a "hacked Marble Hornets" entry that Jay didn't upload.

Well that's odd >_>

The page that the image comes from. It should be fairly obvious why it comes up in a search. This entire forum is now a gamejack. Razz

@distilled:
I agree with The Rogue Wolf regarding Jay's teleportation. If we were meant to think Jay teleported, I'd think the creators would make it a little more obvious, or at least hang a proverbial lampshade on it at some point down the road.

@The Rogue Wolf:
Have we seen evidence that rooms displace, and not what's on the other side of the door? There is a distinction. AFAICR, every time we've seen someone "warp", it's always been the act of going through a doorway, however, the room they left was still in the same place. For your theory of Jessica being in a mirror hotel, that would mean she left the room via her main door, which was closed, and not the room-to-room door, which was still left partially open. Also, since those doors were still open, even if her room did warp, Jay's would have had to as well, since they were connected.

It makes more sense (Occam's Razor is something I like to keep in mind when I watch these things) that either she left suspiciously or something happened to her (possibly related to Masky).

Totally called it.

I go to the same university as the cast of MH (as a side, it's weird when I pass them occasionally on campus). The hallway in the latest entry looks exactly like the hallways in the dorms here. . . . What it seems like is they couldn't stay in the hotel any longer and just decided to use the dorms instead. I hope this helps.

Thank you. This is the first sane post I've seen on the issue all day. :/

Why is it really so hard for us to believe that we're meant to think that all these hotel rooms and hallways are supposed to be the same ones, but TPTB just ran into technical issues? This is a YouTube series after all, and a little suspension of disbelief could go a long way.

Because all the hotel shots were filmed in one go? It wouldn't make sense for us to NOT notice this and pick it apart, it's something fairly big.

Also...I don't understand, Danger Fox, the halls in all the entries look exactly the same, the carpets, lights, doors/room number plates + archway in the hall, etc. all appear to be exactly the same, so I don't quite understand what you're saying. Unless only the hotel rooms were used all at once and were somehow all spliced with hallway shots from a dorm flawlessly (I honestly have no clue how difficult that would be, could be really easy). But then, why wouldn't Troy + the crew ask to use the same exact door areas as they'd previously used?

 		This does explain how different the lighting in the corridor was - stark, bright white from #33 against the dim yellow from the previous entries.

The location of the adjoining doors in J's room seemed off too, by about a foot to the right.

Someone was using them.

Personally, I think the transporting is just silly. If that was Masky's room, what on earth would he have locked in his safe? (I Shudder to think). Also, if you'll pause the video at 0:40, I believe the shape of a backpack can be made out next to the air conditioning unit. However, looking through the room one will see there are No Other Clothes Anywhere. So yes, there is a Possibility that Masky/Jessica just happens to be really neat, but it seems to me that this is a room where someone has just packed up all their things.

Haha! I hear you pronounce, but Masky would have had a week to pack up his stuff in his room and set up the warp doors, as there is a week between 32 and 33. However, my good codenizens of the interwebs, I think it's pretty certain at this point, that the two entries take place at the same night.

To me, it seems pretty obvious this was simply a technical issue, nothing more.

This could possibly be explained by different cameras. I know sometimes the chest cam with its fisheye-lens was used in at least quite a bit of the previous hallway footage.

I think that's the toppled chair, not a backpack...Hm.

Excellent point! Yes, both instances of yellow light are on fish-cam. Regular camera has the hallway looking just the same, like in the end of entry 28.

Then that actually leads more credence to the idea of there being a struggle in the room just before.

This could be part of the set up by Masky, but who knows, that's the only way I could explain it, really. xD
