TTA has been jacking Jay's fridge. The meaning behind Marble Hornets is clearly dairy products. >_>;

I'm pretty sure that's just a light post.

Also -- I know it's probably nothing but this "fragment" appears twice in this vid:


Once at 2 seconds in and again and 21 seconds out (or so). Forgive the craptastic quality, but yanno it's late and I'm too tired to be buggered with anything more complex than "Prt Sc" and MSPaint. Smile The first time it appears it's right before the seriously whited-out/contrasted object people keep saying is the bench -- but I don't believe it or really see it. I think it's something else. No clue what, but it just doesn't seem like the bench to me.

I like the idea of layering the text images. At least the first two panels seem to have the text roughly placed in the same area.

Also - that light pole light looks a bit like it might have been the light sampled to make the "eyes" that show up next to the porch swing. Those eyes seem to say (in the context of the movie) "Years wasted. I've been watching. (as the next frame the eyes appear next to the swing) You've done nothing." -- I agree this one is more straightforward, but this is still a game and I think there are still clues to be found.

And the gallows is somewhat relevant in the context of the story of the origin of the Slenderman in the woods that Alex tells J. He says something to the effect that they used to tie them in the trees and let them hang there. Most common way to hang someone from a tree? By the neck. Just sayin'. It's still a super-stretch as I'm more in the skully camp. (They don't really look like stars to me, but operator symbols through the eyes that have been traced over a few times. One COULD be a star, but the other doesn't look like a star to me. I think it's more a representation of a mask -- either one we've seen or one we will see -- much like the S/sigma shape it's perched next to. (Which also seems not like it is taken from video, but from a photo. TTA taking pictures now too? Razz)

In fact, the whole thing really seems like a vignette of photographs, more than a "movie" of anything. Like an old silent film sorta. Punctuated by text that supposedly explains the missing dialogue. Hrm.

But I'm lactose intolerant! Does that mean I can never really understand the meaning? Shocked

Because if so, that's just wrong. : Crying or Very sad Sad

It's definitely not a light post considering there's a light post behind it thats twice as high and on. You'd think a light post would be on at night also.

Can I be the first to say that however well done this vid is, it's not much more than just an anniversary video, and doesn't add more to the story than we already know?

Not a light post.

Looks like a sign post. Like a "for sale" sign, actually. Of course, the SIGN is missing (maybe on purpose (as in, in game relevant), maybe just so there wasn't a"call here" sign that led everyone to dial a number and inundate some local real estate agent, IRL).

I really don't think it's a gallows. For one, where the hell would TTA have found a gallows to take a picture/video of? Also, Alex said that they would tie people to these super-fast growing trees, which would pull people apart, like a rack, then they'd set the tree on fire. (I don't remember which Entry it was in, or I'd transcribe the actual conversation.) I'm more in the "It's an unseen part of the swing" camp, or the "It's part of the gazebo" camp.

A thousand times ^this

If it was a gallows, why would he only show that part of it? Would be more obvious if he had shown the actual rope noose (maybe with the doll hanging? :O).

Here's the transcript from Entry #38:

[01:10] Alex: "When I first moved here, I remember hearing a story that back in the 1800's they thought this place was blessed because everything would grow so fast. They would take their worst criminals, murderers and child molesters and they would put them on trial before God out here. They would tie them up to the trees and the idea was that they would get stretched out, kind of like a rack. They never fed or gave them water though, so they would just die of dehydration."
[01:40] Jay: "Why are you telling me this?"
[01:42] Alex: "They never cut down the bodies. They would just burn the whole tree with them still on it." brief pause.
[01:52] Alex: "They stopped doing it though after the kid went missing… and he finally turned up in the area where they would do the trials.
[02:02] Alex has stopped walking. He continues to speak while looking at a tree. "He had been dismembered and strung up."

I'm still of the opinion that the second angle of the bench that everyone's talking about is just a negative picture of something. If I wasn't too lazy, I'd stick it in Paint and reverse it, just to see what shows up.

The circles/eyes/lights seem to be far too circular to actually be eyes - I'm voting for cut and pasted headlights, myself.

Overall, I agree with everyone else - Jay needs to go back to Alex's house. Maybe we can finally have a big showdown between a frustrated TTA, Jay, and a special appearance by the Operator.

That being said, Jay, sweetie, please go in daylight. Act like you have a working brain.

Considering this TTA video is called "Memories", and the other images were from locations of Operator encounters, the frame/signpost/gallows might be from another Operator encounter. Of course, since there are months of tapes left that Jay has not yet seen, this could be a sneak peak of some event that's about to happen - maybe something where Jay and/or Alex "did nothing" while "something more than time was taken" by the Operator.

Also, does anyone find it odd that this video and enttry 37 are both called "Memories"? Is that a coincidence, or are they tied together somehow?

All of this^. A gajillion times over, this^. Smile

Also, I pulled and tried to clean up those "bench" images and they're going to be almost possible to restore without some heinous filtering, methinks. I did, however put the three best shots I could pull from the vid and fiddled with the contrast a bit. Only thing I really managed to do was pull up a fragment in the middle picture (which is now also faintly visible in the picture a few miliseconds before). To me, it looks like it could be a white edge line on the end of a road, making the bits below it the uneven edge of a dashboard of a car. (If you sort of look at the two shots and then look at the light/sign post picture posted a page previously -- they could be the same.)



It'd also mean perhaps that that weird "line" fragment that appears beforehand that I capped earlier (and that also appears at the end of the vid around :21) could be the light/sign post in question.

Obviously TTA wants J to go back to the beginning. This is just another underline of it.

I dunno... Jay does love playing with that Idiot Ball.

[Image removed 'cause it's big, and right ^ there]


I'm still pretty sure that the above are just really close up (and filtered) images of the circled part in the image below. The white bit sticking up in the middle picture above is probably just the rope holding up the bench or the vertical legs in the distance.

True that. He passes it to Alex once in a while, but mostly, he seems unreasonably attached to it.

Also, I realize what those lights reminded me of when I first saw them - they seem like the first two dots in an ellipse. I kept waiting for the third one to appear.
