This again, complements my Knowledge theory. My theory is that if you have knowledge of him, he'll make sure he finishes you off. How, I don't know, but since Alex, Brian, and J have had knowledge of him, and they all got sick.


Just as Alex had gotten sick, J is obviously getting sick. Brian must've gotten sick, considering the amount of peelz all over his room.

Hopefully that makes sense, I've been awake since 5am and haven't had a bit of rest since.

Then what would you class as "knowledge of Slenderman"?
If it's simply seeing him,then the rest of the actors would all be dead,but if it's knowing who he is then how did Alex find this out?
As far as I can see Alex only knows about SM due to being stalked by him.

Splender Man?

(Spider + Slender)


Slenderman with a tie-dye shirt and flowers in his ears.

"FABULOUS!"


hehe, that gave me the giggles. Slenderman is actually Tim Gunn's super hero alias saving America from fashion disasters.

On a slightly more serious note, I'm starting to agree with the knowledge theory. Only I would classify knowledge as to knowing SM exists and is sinister.

As for the bullet casing, i agree it is very interesting but simply another clue to add to our already large stack. As far as I can tell we weren't provided with much context to decipher the point of the casing. I kind of feel like it just symbolizes that Brian felt he needed protection and therefore was keeping a gun with him. The bullet casings were just part of the mess of paraphenalia he had collected.

But why only keep a casing?
In order for there to be a casing,there must have been a shot.Why would he only keep an empty casing from a shot if he didn't fire it?

I'm going to take an off-the-wall moment here and say, is it possible Alex, Brian, and possibly J had some kind of run-in with Slendy as kids, but managed to escape, possibly dismissing it as some kind of nightmare or having say, parents, dismiss it as their imaginations being overactive?

That would explain why Alex got so edgy about Slenderman being there on the set. 'Oh hey, it's that guy from the playground when we were kids when x and y went missing...'

Totally off the wall, probably not right but... Had to put it out there.

To bring up Stephen King again, this sounds a lot like It. It's certainly as plausible a theory as any right now. I feel compelled to ask, why now? I mean, does SM have a strict no witnesses policy, but takes his leisure time to tracking them down? Does he work on a cycle- he shows up for a certain amount of time every so often? Did something happen 7 years ago?

More spoilers for It:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It operated on a 22 year cycle- I think it was 22, anyway. A 7 year cycle seems rather... unlikely, on account of the visual tearing in 16. and it's been 3 years since filming. But It's entry and exit into hibernation was always marked by some kind of catastrophe. Maybe we should ask about anything that happened 7 years ago?

We obviously know that seven plays some sort of role. Whether it's a bigger role than just telling us that Brian was targeted or not, I can't say. I'll message J about it and see what kind of response (if any) I get.

I- err, maybe they're next. But hey, good point, my theory is no longer plausible x-x;

Well, J has knowledge that whatever it is, it's bad. He also has the knowledge that Alex going missing has something to do with SM, considering his state of paranoia when it came to the tapes and the way he acts in the tapes. Brian, on the other hand, we don't know much about yet..I have a feeling that we'll be seeing Slender Man in the near future though Wink

7am brainwave...

Why has Slenderbro waited until recently to attack Brian?
He stalked Alex 3 years ago,and the reason we assume Slendy would take an interest in Brian is that he was close enough to Alex during that period.

Why would he wait 3 years to come after Brian?
Unless Brian wasn't as involved with Alex 3 years ago as he let on,and only recently disturbed Slenderbro.And there would be no reason for him to suddenly go back to the site of the filming and investigate.

Perhaps someone else previously contacted him about Js investigation?
But that would mean that he took out Brian instantly,which he didn't do for Alex or J.

It makes no sense for him to suddenly kill Brian.Meaning perhaps Brian wasn't taken out by Slendy,but by someone or something else.

Perhaps it was totheark who took out Brian,in order to stop J from getting closer?We're still not clear on TTA's goals,but it could be possible.

My argument is there might be more casings, sometimes people will pick up their bullet casings after going hunting or practicing to be clean or maybe just to leave no trace. Brian's place wasn't the cleanest so there could be more casings hidden amongst the debris.

I want everyone to take a deep breath, a short step back, and tell me how anyone besides J has gotten sick at all?

There's been no evidence given by Tim that Brian got sick and had blackouts like J did, and there's no video evidence to support that Alex was diseased as well.

There's blood in a sink, groovy, and some kind of pills, fantastic, but they're not like, blackout-prevention pills. They looks like child-proof Tylenol's.

The way I see it,J's illness was related to TTA,not Slendy.Or perhaps even simple coincidence.
Slendy causes paranoia by stalking people,at least he did with Alex,and Tim never noticed Brian looking unstable.This probably means that,again,Brian's disappearance wasn't our thin friend's doing.

If the casing is a red herring,then what do we make of the blood in the sink?
Tim never mentioned Brian being ill,but there's no evidence to suggest that they even keep in contact any more.But,if Brian became sick then perhaps he had something to do with TTA?
It ties in pretty nicely with the "TTA attacked Brian" theory.
Unless a gun or knife or some kind of weapon was used I highly doubt you could injure someone enough to make them throw up blood,so if it wasn't caused by Brian's illness it must have been caused by someone who wanted to do a lot of damage,likely even kill.

I don't know what kind of pills they are, and I agree we shouldn't jump to conclusions, but to me the bottles look like the ones you get when you have a chronic/ongoing condition and your insurance company has you get your prescriptions through the mail three months at a time instead of going to the pharmacy and getting monthly prescriptions in the more commonly recognized orange-brown bottles.

But it could also absolutely be something over the counter.

There's a difference between doctor-prescription medication and over-the-counter brand names. As for throwing up blood, a low-caliber shell through the lung could easily cause throw-up-blooding, more likely in the form of a cough.

Anyways, I agree with you that it could be something over the counter, but for every prescription I got, besides Stratera, it came in orange bottles with a white top. The white square-bottles with the childlocks are generally medications sold off the shelf, not over the counter, because you don't need to be of-age to buy them, preventing children from getting their hands on Tylenol and going on one bad trip.

Stratera came in a large, rectangular chest with each day labeled with a pill under each one.

Agree with the Where did everyone get the idea that people are chronically sick? comment.

Alex was acting abnormal (psychological) according to all of the information we have. He was not said to have become ill.

J is apparently sick (on and off since June) with the coughing and whatnot. He had a bad fever and recovered. Then sick with coughing (from video) and black out/fainting (twitter/video). Coughing and fainting fits can be a result of chemical poisoning or cough syncope, which is pretty much just fainting from a lack of oxygen. Heavy coughing can also contribute to insomnia and whatnot and explain blood in the sink. At the beginning of this experience he was missing meals, not sleeping much and everything else. It might just be he is making himself sick.

Also, I'm still surprised that with all of the videos he has seen, he chose to visit the house at night. I expect him to return. I really want to know if there were any unusual odors... he probably would have noted it though if it mattered.

I get maintenance medication through the mail in three-month batches and they come in white opaque bottles with a white screw on top. The cap isn't child-proof, though, and they're not square, but they don't look like the orange bottles with white caps you get from the local pharmacy either.

I'll look more closely at the bottles in the video later to see if I can make out anything that will answer this question.

I definitely agree that we shouldn't just assume that SM = sickness or that Brian is sick (or even that Alex's paranoia/instability was from anything other than paranoia about SM + probable sleep deprivation). Clueless is on the ball about J probably making himself sick by not eating right or sleeping well.

On the other hand, I don't think Entry #16 would have shown the pill bottles if they weren't at least a little relevant.
