Made my last post after skimming the thread real quickly at the time, but now that I've been able to go back in-depth, I want to address this point:

Jay saw the twins & he didn't overreact..does that means that Jay know/is with them?

[tijde]

Something keeps bothering me about this entry. When Jay watches Alex going into the woods through a gap in the trees/brush/kudzu, it's strongly reminiscent of #43, the scene right before Alex walks toward The Operator. Then Jay follows him in, and Alex is gone. Jay slowed down a tad picking his way through the brush, but still, that was an awfully quick getaway. Obviously Jay sucks at stalking and sneaking, but with all the debris underfoot, you'd think he'd be able to hear *some* indication of Alex if Alex was still walking--probably moreso if he was running. Since Alex *was* teleported soon after meeting The Operator the first time, is it possible Alex really did vanish into thin air this time?

Entertaining that possibility leads me to one question: Why? Especially since he reappears soon after--near the tunnel, which seems to be a relatively short distance down the same path. And for that matter, if there's teleposting going on, where's the visual tear? I realize I might be grasping at straws here; Jay could be just *that bad* at stalking. But this might be a case of HERP DERP TYPICAL JAY misleading us. Maybe the obvious answer isn't the correct one. (That's kinda our thing here, ya?)

I gotta agree that Alex is carrying the satchel now because he can't leave important shit at home anymore. That leads me to think the key is to Alex's apartment.

On a sidenote (HUUR HUUR): I was in the Not Op But Trees camp till I saw the SA screenshot. Still not convinced, but I can see why someone would be. If it's him, it's a side view. I happened to pause it at 3:49 and shat some brix at the shadow on the left, but that's just a ree shadow/suspense shenanigans.

At the very least, I think we can all agree that the filmmakers have, once again, kicked our asses. How can we be so perfectly split over this "is that the operator?" thing? They either have us seeing shadows or disbelieving what they're intentionally telling us. Either way, AWESOME.

For the record, I'm, for now, in the "It's the OP" camp. However, I didn't notice it myself the one and only time I watched the entry. I'll rewatch, I'll listen for the distortion, and I'll make my decision then. I probably won't share it though, because, as one of you put it, it makes no difference. Troseph have already gotten the reaction they want from the fans, it doesn't MATTER who's right.

Besides, HE'S WEARING BRACELETS AGAIN!

Thought regarding the guy in the white shirt:

If he's just an innocent bystander, it would explain why Jay heads straight off. Somebody asked earlier why Jay didn't take a look into Alex's car or at least stick around to see him return. If there was a randome member of the public nearby, Jay wouldn't want to get seen trying to break into someone's car, or witness him skulking in the bushes. Jay's a bit daft but he's sensible enough to know not to get arrested. If we metagame a bit, Mr Whiteshirt might just be there to explain why Jay scooted as soon as he got out of the woods.


In other news, I'm undecided about whether that figure is Slendy or not. I saw it first viewing, wasn't sure... and none of the screencaps have convinced me otherwise. One point I'm not sure has been brought up - The Operator never seems to make any noise moving. OK, so maybe it's obscured by the camera's distortion, but he always gives the impression of moving by drifting quietly. I can't see the Operator as one to cause rustling and breaking twigs behind our cameraman - just doesn't seem like him. So if anyone caused the noise that made Jay turn around, its more likely to be a human character. I wonder - might it have been Alex? Certainly we know Alex must be quite familiar with these woods by now, and we suspect he's aware Jay follows him. He could quite feasibly have doubled back and ended up behind Jay...?

Well, let's say that the guy who filmed noentry was Alex. At the time J lost a track of Alex, Alex was already running with a hand held camera in his hand. He took it out. And, he makes his way to this tunnel. I don't know, but it seems that he is surprised by the blood there. He walks in, and finds a rock (I always thought it was a rock/block of concrete Alex used to break Tim leg) and white t-shirt covered in blood. As he turns around, he sees OP and his camera tied to him goes off. Well, from here, I would say that OP and Alex haves a little chit chat or something (any ideas?) and after that, OP leaves, and Alex just stays in there for a little. I'd say, he waits for J to catch up with him. After Alex sees that Jay is here, he crouches, puts his camera in his satchel and looks at J. J freaks out and runs to his car and leaves. If we take it this way, white t-shirt does not die, and he is just a minor person.

What do you think about this, when it's putted that way?

i'm gonna be the only guy who thinks that 29 and 48 took place on different days

while i do think the guy in the white tee is there for a reason (they could have waited five minutes to film that little portion until the guy left) - i don't think the same shirt he's wearing is the one we see in 29 (unless all that guy wears is white shirts - basing this off of my thought that 29 and 48 are on diff days). what we saw in 29 could have been a rag for all we know. i do think, however, that he could be a TTA/MH cast member and they're cluing us in similar to how they had hoody sitting by the tree in entry 42 - jay even pans across to him just before entering his car


as far as the twig snapping goes, there's no way that was slendy making that noise. slendy appears to jay's right, while the twig noise is clearly made behind him much closer than slendy is. i think if anything it's TTA following jay, and when TTA saw slendy he ran

@ Pravado

Thank you for making one of the only sensible things that could involve why there was a snap behind jay and Slendy to the right, cause after all the years of stalking the Slendy's done he woundd't make a noise unless he wanted to be seen and he clearly didn't this entry cause Jay walked right passed him!
