I really hope TTA posts a video that goes:

"JJJJJJ

010101010101010101010

I left a present for you...

(X)

Go to the hospital, and... Oh, shit, you found it already. Nevermind."

On a more serious note, however, If we were to go on the hypothesis that Hoodie is TTA, then why leave a tape instead of posting it? Either Hoodie's going somewhere where he won't be able to upload, or it really WASN'T for Jay? I can't believe it's just for dramatic affect.

TTA generally doesn't post coherent footage, just cryptic clips. Maybe s/he wants jay to be in possession of the physical tape for whatever reason. I'm starting to wonder if it wasn't Hoodie who left the tape with entry 22 on it for Jay in the red tower back in S1.

I agree with the assumption that Hoody knew they were there, that Jay and Tim were following him, and he planted the video on purpose. Hoody's vibe just felt very different to me in this video. (Maybe because he's played by different actors)

In other entries he came off more quick, sneaky, fast even. This entry he comes off as slow, sluggish, and more brute. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but he just had a different vibe to me.

On topic, Jay was the one who told Tim to go into the opposite room of Hoody, not Tim. The whole time Tim seemed a lot more eager to actually get Hoody as opposed to Jay. Even when Tim grabs the weapon Jay was not fond of it. I think Tim may have confronted him in the room he was kneeling if Jay wasn't there

Did it look like Tim disappeared at the very end of the entry when he walked into the woodsy area?

here are some screencaps of Hoodie. From the build, i think we can safely say it isn't Jessica. And whoever this is, is probably TotheArk. I think he's likely to be Brian. This would show that both he and Tim are linked since Brain was "The First friend [he] remember[s]". This would account for them both having a disorder that causes them to creep in the woods with concealed faces.

That's actually one of the things about Hoodie that really annoys me. Since they're played by different actors in every entry it makes it look like IG Hoodie is more than one person. Like back in entry 45 hoodie was really small, thin, and fast, and now in this entry they look like a foot ball player. It's like the difference between a fairy and an ogre. I guess it keeps us from guessing who it is based on body type alone though. Confused

I think Jay wasn't happy about Tim picking up the wrench or whatever it was is because he didn't want a repeat of entry 35. Jay isn't really a very violent guy, he just wants to get to the bottom of things. Even after being stalked by Tim he was upset when Alex smashed his leg like that. And Tim does have more reason to be upset with Hoodie than Jay does after all. Hoodie is the one that broke into his house and stole his medication.

Things that bug me:

When the guy who's been stalking you has his back turned, and you're in an odds-in-your-favor two-on-one situation, jump him.

When you're a mysterious hooded figure who has a video tape you want people to find, try leaving it out in the open--say, on that big counter top you passed on your way in--rather than burying it in rubble. Even if you know your target is there. Otherwise you're going to have your back turned at some point, and you might get jumped. Unless you're in this episode.

If you're a guy who recently watched and posted a video of your friend being assaulted in the woods, screaming and being dragged along by a faceless being that's also stalking you, perhaps take a moment to say, "Tell me, Tim, what the #%$# was that all about?"

If you're in a burned-out hospital that's been abandoned for years and trashed for just as long, the chances of you finding intact medical documents probably aren't real strong.

Otherwise...hey, good episode!

 Thoughts

Apologies in advance, I took notes after watching and while reading through all the pages of discussion. I am afraid that items are not in any particular order, but I do hope they are coherent.

Firstly, I was freaking out during the monologue. Every time they panned past the door, I was afraid TO would be there. And I am surprised we haven't had any frame by frame slendy sightings here yet. I liked the use of sudden blurriness while walking down the halls to both raise tension and to blur out MH graffiti.

Hoody's identity: While we cannot rely on build since they switch out actors, I thought it was interesting that we see Hoody soon after Tim mentions Brian. I think that that may be a hint to his identity. Checkov's friend?

While they were following Hoody, I wondered if Hoody was deliberately leading them somewhere. And I think it is highly likely. So was Hoody leading them to the tape he hid? Thought: Tim got emotional in the feels, and we saw the distortion flare. Could heightened emotions draw TO (hence distortion)? And could Hoody have been leading them away? Just occurred to me. So then Hoody hides the tape. Why? I'm going to guess that it bought him a minute to get farther ahead so he could disappear. But if he wasn't leading them to the tape deliberately, why hide it there? The chances of our dynamic duo finding it while just walking around and not watching it be buried is pretty close to nil.

The tape is caked in dirt. The pile of debris that it was hidden in is not dirt. It is dirty, yes, but it is made of wood and plaster scraps, paint chips, etc. To me, that tape looks like it was at some point in the recent past, buried in the ground. Jay taps it to pop a clod of dirt out. So..Hoody had a tape, that was buried in the ground at some point, and then he hid it in the hospital, where Jay picked it up. That seems odd. I am going to guess that Alex had more than one incriminating tape. Jay stole one last season, so Alex tried to get rid of this one. Hoody dug it up and left it at the hospital. Thoughts? The only other explanation I can come up with is that it is something so important that Hoody hides it in odd places and moves it frequently out of paranoia. And while plausible, I sort of buy the first explanation more.

But it if is not another Alex tape (or Jay during his "dreams" I guess) I think another probable option is that it is a TTA video. I mean, we're pretty much guessing that TTA = Hoody. But we do not know that, and as people have pointed out in regards to Tim being from the hospital, it was a surprise to people who don't pore over every detail as we do here on UF. So the tape could be that confirmation we've been looking for.

Lastly, this entry could be a hint that Hoody can teleport a la TO. I dunno, but it's at least plausible as a theory - given the MH universe.

I really wish more of you would use spoilers for all the OOG comments

Most people don't do that after the first few pages because it's assumed that if you're reading that far, you've already seen the video or don't mind it being spoiled. As for why we discuss OOG stuff... Seeing as the actual videos don't have a comment section, I think UF is the only alternative. And I think (hope) Trosephim want our feedback.

like how "great" Tim's acting is. Really? I love the series but I don't think any of them are good actors. For me its more about atmosphere… and awesome editing (I love the way TO "moves.")


Agreed. Although I do think Tim has the potential to be a good actor.

Pauper wrote:

Also whats with all the "its been 2 months" posts? Really we don't count TTA vids? or tweets? Or Puzzles that we spend countless hours trying to figure out? Trosephim is working hard to give us great content in different forms and I love that about MH.


I love TTA videos! But they don't usually advance the story. So we just had a 2 month gap IG that kind of ruined the immersion and raised everyone's expectations way too high. This was a solid entry, but people are forgetting that because we waited 2 months and there were no big advances.

Re: Tim didn't escape

Tim's monologue also cements the theory that TO can choose who sees him in my opinion. Tim was diagnosed with all sorts of conditions that can be attributed to seeing TO, but the doctors couldn't him but Tim could. That's the exact definition of a hallucination, seeing something that no one else can see, and it's been said multiple times Tim had hallucinations.


Or Tim claimed to be seeing something the doctors deemed impossible, like "Help, there's a faceless man in my room" to which they would respond that they no one had entered or exited the room and that... well... facelessness isn't possible.

Another option is that the doctors/nurses were simply slenderwiped and couldn't remember seeing TO, but Tim could.

The third option is that Tim was the only one to notice TO. Not that he was invisible to everyone else, but that he has a kind of "perception filter"-like effect on some people. We've seen this before in other entries, like #17, #54, pretty much every entry where he's been in someone's room, etc.

As far as different actors for Hoody...We still haven't confirmed that hoody, or TTA for that matter, is one person. Could very well be INTENDED that Hoody has different builds between entries. I'm still pretty sure Hoody was aware of their presence. However, if he wasn't it could show that he is fallible, human. Is hoody just getting cocky? Can anyone else see the possibility of this all just ending terribly for Jay if he doesn't learn from his mistakes? Ending up like Alex, or dead? Seriously, if Jay doesn't get serious about this crap he's screwed. Never put money on the pacifist in the horror films.

Tim says finally, "no more secrets."

So, did he not start the fire in his room? Is the fact that it is burned ( also that Jay's apt. got burned soon after Masky's visit and J's exit) insignificant to the story now?

Or does this tell us that he didn't start the fire?

Where to begin...

First of all, look back at the last TTA video. Think of the parts with Alex on the TV. How long did it take you to see Hoody? Five seconds? Ten? More? Maybe you didn't see him, maybe you only found him after he was pointed out on UnFiction? Either way, you probably only noticed him once his mask was visible.
My point is, Hoody wears camouflage. He is nearly impossible to find in the forest, which is why he "disappeared." He wasn't teleported -- Tim and Jay just missed him.

Second of all, I like the theory that Tim and Hoody planned out this visit. It makes sense, even if it probably isn't what actually happened.

Third of all, I think Hoody new all along that they were there... After all, didn't Jay say when they would head to the hospital? Maybe Hoody was just walking around all day until he found them.

Finally, this is something I just recently thought of... What if there is more than one Hoody? Everyone points out the differences in body types, and they are pretty obvious. What if there are multiple Hoodies, and they just wear the same "uniform" or such? It would also explain why he sometimes behaves differently.

He didn't start the fire...
It was always burning, since the world's been turning.

The puzzle from Surveillance that was just recently got solved translated partly to: "truly your fault." I assume Jay is the one TTA is speaking to here?

And then in this entry, Tim is freaking out thinking this whole thing is his fault. TTA has frequently called on Jay to be the one "responsible" for this. "Look what you have caused," etc. So what has Jay done to make it his fault? Uploading the entries, I guess?
