Also, if this's true, it's thematically so appropriate. Silent Snow, Secret Snow seems to be about a kid who psychologically retreats from the world for mysterious, chilling reasons (ostensibly it's about autism, but can be read other ways for our purposes). Using that music before this clip might frame Alex as the child being changed... I mean, it's not exactly news, but would support the idea that young Alex was Operator-stalked to any doubters still out there. XD


Thematically appropriate as it would be, I don't think it's the same music. The intervals between each tone are different and it appears to be in a different key. I don't have access to my usual audio editing software to confirm, but the thing it reminds me most of is the background music in Troy's OOG video "Decked" after heavy alteration (the loud discordant sounds that occasionally play in 37 could even be the sounds of the elevator and car alarm).

Could someone run it through Audacity and play around with it a bit?

if the dates have any significance, this is definitely it.

I agree, things are definitely leaning towards the original idea of Slenderman going after children. If this is the case then looking into missing child reports from those dates would be a good idea to confirm.

Honsetly, I think we're spinning our wheels a bit with the dates. Seems like their pretty random with a few coincidences here and there thrown in.

Perhaps, but I don't think so...If you're gonna go in part-way, you might as well go all-in. Some may just be more difficult to find then others due to their age.

Quote:
I was checking the original Slender Man thread on the SomethingAwful forums and I came across a post from Jay(as user Ce Gars) where he gave basically the same explanation of the tapes he gives in the Introduction video but he included one piece of information that ties in with this Entry

"Which struck me as very odd since he had been living around that area since he was eight, and never seemed to have a problem with it."

The interesting thing here is that that actually suggests that the set of Marble Hornets wasn't near where this birthday was filmed. The birthday cookie (lol) has five or six candles on it (it looks like six, from the number of glowing embers you can see after they're blown out). That would suggest that the Operator developing an interest in Alex preceded his move to the Marble Hornets filming location area by at least two years.

This could suggest that moving away the first time saved Alex from whatever the Operator tends to do to his young victims, and that the Marble Hornets events were a case of the Operator finding 'the one who got away' again. And then season 2 is triggered by the Operator rediscovering Alex after he escaped AGAIN... if this's all true, Alex is a lucky bastard. If he's still alive presently.


This is interesting to me since it does fit somewhat with the idea of runners. Usually though the amount of time they have between escape and being located is much shorter, though maybe something caught Slendy's eye for a bit and gave Alex some time to grow up and such, perhaps forget a little about the situation since he seems to be quite nonchalant about the situation in Entries 12 and 2

I went through frame-by-frame and got all the dates from the Slenderdistortion bits, for future reference here they are. I think most if not all of them were posted earlier in the thread, but you know how things have a tendency to get lost or looked over in the influx of posts here. Rolling Eyes

These are in the order they appeared, and not chronological order.

Jun 30 1900, 8:23 PM
July 10 1999, 6:03 AM
Aug 30 1891, 1:00 OM
May 17 1988, 9:00 AM
Sep 4 1991, 10:41 AM
(I would like to mention I think this is of note, simply because it stayed for a good four or five frames, whereas the other dates only stayed for a single frame or two. Something about that makes it seem important.)
Jan 1 1992, 12:00 AM
Feb 29 1996, 4:44 AM
(Not only is this a leap year, which only happens every 4 years, but 4:44 was an important time in Entry 26. Thought I should add that.)
Dec 31 1999, 11:58 PM
Mar 3 1981, 9:42 AM
Nov 12 1993, 12:34 AM
Jun 6 1944, 9:99 AM
(of course, not a real time and an inverted 666. Take that as you will.)
And then the timestamp returns to Apr 4 1991, 6:03 PM for the remainder of Operator's appearance.

I think the dates seem important. At the very least, they either point to the fact that the Operator DOES cause timefuckery, even time TRAVEL; or they point to the fact that Operator has been around a long long LONG TIME.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_1900#June_30.2C_1900_.28Saturday.29

I know wikipedia isn't a reliable source, but. Fire, naval ships, AND if we're going with some connection to Germany... Other than that, I've found every bit of nothing.

I don't know if it's relevant or not, but I'd like to point out that the date of the video is "4-4-91" and the time is "4:41" when the video starts.

That's effectively creepy.

I really think that this has some weight. How hard was it to find?


Wasn't at all haha. I just googled the date and it was the second one that popped up. Did some reading, got chills, then read 37 pages to see if anyone else had seen it x.x

I wonder what really happened to those kids. Those kinds of stories are creepy enough even without the possible IG connection.

So I'm still heavily under the impression that enttry 37 is a TTA post. We still haven't heard anything from Jay and for all we know, he might not have even been the one tweeting that he was having a headache.

But first the facts before I leap to conspiracy theories.

The title of the video is enttry #37.
There is a description "memories".
There were no title cards, hardly any editing on the front or back of the video at all.
There was evidence of editing during the video, the operator symbol on "alex"'s face, and quite possibly the entire operator distortion.
Jay's twitter was updated with only a link, missing its usual "Entry #XX: "

Jay began to suffer from a severe headache leading up to posting the video, which consisted of him not being able to log into his youtube account, he did however put for the the effort to let us know he was going to "sllee pn.ow" but he has not put forth the effort to give us so much as an "awa kenow" or anything to that effect. The only tweet since going to "sleep" has been a link to the video.

Now to my theory, to me this all /screams/ TTA, Jay would never upload an entry with no editing and a misspelled title. Regardless of how in line it would be with his "headache". We have never seen Jay edit anything during a video, and quite obviously the operator symbol was edited in and not caused by distortion. One might argue that jay just uploaded the raw footage with editing already there when he found it, but again I do not think he would've uploaded without adding title cards, it's too far off from what jay's been doing for some 37 videos so far.

We also know that TTA has hacked jay's account before (or at least we're lead to believe this with entry ####), which means it's not unlikely for him to have done it again, this also means that if TTA is capable of hacking jay's youtube, he's more than capable of hacking into his twitter as well to post the video link (or perhaps jay's enabled some kind of feature that allows twitter to automatically update when a new video is up). If TTA had hacked into jay's youtube, it would very easily supply a reason for him not to be able to log in (which he was having trouble with BEFORE the headache).

As an added bonus, if you're of the opinion that Alex may be TTA, the description: memories, presents a strong link that it was Alex who uploaded the video, not Jay.

There's too much at play here for me to think it's just Jay having a bad day and not bothering with editing and happening to forget his password and happening to sleep for well over 24 hours before posting a video he'd talked about 48 hours previous. Something's up here.

I'm one of the believers that the busy signal in Sidetone symbolizes Alex being "busy" with something, probably TTA/Slendy related. Maybe what Alex has been busy with these past 7 months has caused him to develop TTA tendencies? The description "memories" points to it being Alex, and maybe he drew the (X) on his own face in the video before uploading it. These (and the misspelled title) are TTA type things.

I don't, however, think he actually is TTA, because I find it hard to believe that there's more than one. They'd have to be collaborating (seeing as they do the same shit and share a youtube account), and if Alex was collaborating with Tim then he wouldn't have smashed his leg.

But yeah prolly not Jay, that wouldn't make any sense.

I don't think there's anything solidly linking Tim to being TTA.

What about entry 35? I don't see any motivation for him to be a fake TTA.
