Lying has always been a big thing with Totheark. He implied Jay was an "unreliable narrator" like forever ago.

Since someone was up in the area above, it's possible that the person who left the documents behind felt the need to hide them somehow.

This is where the "game" aspect of the alternate reality game comes into play, the object of said game being to get any amount of sleep after having watched entry 60. Not gonna lie, my chances aren't good. Also I would not have touched that doll, when has anything good ever happened as a result of Jay going near that thing.

Hmm, not a whole lot of speculation on the contents of the papers.

I initially thought that the W in "Timothy W██████" was his middle initial, but when Jay looks down the page, there's another name. Either a "James W██████" or a "Janet W██████", which could be the name of one of his parents, so maybe that's his last name and it begins with a W.

I know that back in Entry #53, when Jay talks to the lady at the antique shop, she says:

"Yeah, I see a guy that comes in here like that, he's, sometimes he comes in here when he's uh looking for his _____ .... says he has a doctor's appointment."

And then someone suggested that Tim goes there to look for his father, who works there occasionally (maybe he's the delivery guy from Jay's pre-season antique shop break-in?).

Anyway, I'm stretching it a bit, but perhaps we'll be learning more about Tim's family soon.

I don't have the means for making screencaps, but I watched it slowly and was able to get the following from those forms:

-The first form was entitled something like "Pediatric Admission Form"
-The patient is Tim, in 1995.
-At the top of the form is a list of something, with checkmarks in a grid. Some of the possible "categories" were "Sent home" or "Stored in safe". This suggests that it is a list of Tim's belongings, and what was done with them.
-The symptoms Tim was experiencing included insomnia and headaches

-The title of the second form is hard to make out, but the word "Therapy" is clearly in there
-While only Tim's last name is blacked out on the first form, there appears to be significantly more blacked out on the second form.

That's all I got, but from it we can get a basic picture: in 1995, Tim was admitted to the (now burnt and abandoned) hospital. Tim was not merely visiting the hospital but stayed overnight for an extended period, as they took his belongings. His symtpoms then were, at the very least, not inconsistent with his more recent "sickness".

No joke: when I saw "Follow ME" on the wall, I thought nobody had been this direct in the series since they'd used the doll to point the way...

Just for sake of muddying the waters: when Hoody first appeared, there was some debate over whether or not it was possible for Alex himself to be Hoody. Does anyone recall if a hard and fast reason why not came up? I know, there's a second masked figure in Entry #45, but has that been universally agreed to be Hoody?

I'm still in the Brian camp, but the reappearance of the doll from Alex's house, the appearance of 'that thing that follows Alex around', and Hoody being pretty comfortable in the hospital and tunnels set me pondering. Plus, there's some poetry to the idea of both Alex and Tim having masked alter-egos that may or may not take over their brains and lives for big chunks of time and work against them.

Guys, let pravado have a damn opinion. As he's said, he enjoys the series. If he didn't he wouldn't bother posting detailed criticisms of it in hopes of Trosephim seeing it. And, honestly, him being able to find what's off or could be better in each video is probably more useful to the guys than 10 pages of "Wow! Great video! Bricks were shat!" etc.

On to speculation.

It's safe to assume this means Tim was a patient at the hospital at one point. This is probably because of a lifelong haunting by The Slender Man. The doll could be something Tim made or found that reminded him of Slender Man, like He was Tim's imaginary friend as a child, or so Tim thought. It makes sense, because it's found next to Tim's files from his stay at the hospital. It's in the house in season 1 whenever Tim is nearby. The doll isn't connected to The Slender Man. It's connected to Tim.

Think about it this way:

-Tim is haunted by The Slender Man as a child, has adverse effects on poor little sideburns.

-Tim has strong physical and psychological ailments as a result of The Slender Man, perhaps acts violently. This leads to him being admitted.

-Under constant supervision and medication, Tim begins to "get better." The Slender Man doesn't like this and leads young Tim to burn down the hospital and sever the ties that bind him.

-totheark, likely Brian since he was Tim's closest friend from the MH cast, finds Tim and tries to help him. The Masky personality develops and the two work together in attempt to stop The Slender Man and all that he controls.

-Tim, under his normal personality, is simply the same unaware child that's been haunted by The Slender Man for years. Masky knows what's going on, and needs Jay's help in attempting to stop it.

I know that leaves some plot holes, but it's just speculation on my part on how Tim fits into all this.

The tunnel was deliciously claustrophobic. Especially knowing that there probably wasn't a second way out.

As for the footsteps, the slow, deliberate stride made me think that it was Hoody. Timasky tends to move in quick bursts and TO doesn't really have any footfall. It may be Alex, but Hoody was my first thought.

Lastly, I think it's already been said, but the fixation with liars pretty much proves (as close to proof that well get) that Hoody is a part of, if not all of, TTA.

Signed up just to say this:
I believe Tim is being accused of lying about not wanting to be involved. Perhaps he just said that so that Jay would lower his guard/forget about Tim so that he (malevolent bastard, that he is now?) would do *something* to Jay.

[Lithp]

The whole "liar" thing seems like a specific build up to those medical documents, though. And they are not about anything in the present day.
