I feel like the person in the mask, who may be TTA, was being controlled in some way. It's weird. Think about it. I doubt the slender man would know how to use a computer, let alone edit and upload videos to YouTube. Perhaps he needed a human vessel? That's what it seemed like to me. Maybe that's why the videos that TTA uploaded also have distortion and tearing.

Sorry if I'm asking too much, but it's getting late here; is this viewable for the faint-hearted? Or does anyone want to very quickly summarize what happens for me?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
J returns to the house, he explores the house and finds a slenderman plushie. He turns around to see a masked man. He struggles with this man and stabs him. He then leaves and awakes to find himself on the side of the road in his car. His knife missing and his memory blank.

He seemed a little too violent and too focused on J to be protecting him. That was an aggressive rush on the camera, in my opinion.

If he was trying to protect him from something else, you would think he wouldn't sprint at him like a possessed Olympic distance runner on crack. At least if I was trying to protect my friend from a third party in the house, I might have stayed hidden and intercepted the third party, or made my presence known as a non-threat... then again, we don't know what happened after the camera went off - maybe Alex DID show up and fend off the masked man - maybe the reason J is missing his knife is that Alex popped out, grabbed it while J was lying on the ground, and attacked the Masked Man.

Then again, by the same "it happened while we can't see it" logic, I could say George Bush launched a surgical nuclear strike on the house, J teleported backward through time and the "next morning" part of the video takes place in 1492 in what will later become Oklahoma. Just because I can say it doesn't give it any weight whatsoever.

I guess we just need to wait and see, eh?

OK- a couple of basic things that I noticed:

The house is lived in. It looks like there is different stuff on the floor from the coupons that were there previously, and beds have been made up. Someone attacks J- at 2:32, after he falls down, is the camera pointed at the initial attacker, or is that a SECOND, shadowy attacker down another hallway? If someone could do a screengrab from 2:32-ish, that would be great- it was all very disorienting and I am not sure if there are 1 or 2 guys attacking.

In game, was the attacker supposed to be wearing makeup, as in, a disguise? Or was that supposed to be his face, and he is a supernatural ghoul/slenderman type thing?

The mannequin was slenderman-like. J showed signs of having a sickness- sniffing, etc.- before the attacker. He starts majorly coughing AFTER the attack- could of been from being winded, or the Slender Sickness that has been previously discussed.

Whoever attacked him KNEW that he would be coming back to the house.
Could it be TTA? For me, that doesn't make sense- why would he suddenly turn hostile?

Those are my thoughts ATM, going to rewatch it many times!

Did anyone else see what looks to be like drops, or maybe a trail, of blood on the carpet at around 2:32?

I guess I question him wanting to truly harm J since he seems to be unharmed after the encounter. It could have been an insane Alex just doing whatever he can to get his old friend away from ground zero.

That bit about Alex perhaps showing up AFTER J blacked out and fighting off the masked guy makes sense too.

I. WANT. THAT. PLUSHIE. >8[

They should auction it off on eBay once they're through with the film. It's just so adorable.

Oh, it's at :53 that the clicks appear. The same sounds as in #9 and #17. Hm. I wonder what we should be associating them with. Any ideas?

Just after 1:02, you can hear something. If someone has some audio software, maybe they can enhance it. Maybe a door opening/closing? Important? Probably not. Just putting it out there.

The clicking just sounds like the lens cap swinging, the zoom function, or internal camera sounds to me. I heard similar sounds often when I was in film school and I had to look through about 20 hours of raw footage a week.
Unless I am hearing the wrong thing??

Just another one of my clicks, but this time louder.

Yeah, I don't know. They seem to come in small clusters, and appeared in this video, in 17, and in 9. Only in 9 did they continue throughout the whole video. And in 9 they seemed to have a tripod, so I don't think that it was the lens cap.

My friend proposes an interesting theory that mask guy was actually there and took care of TTA/whoever was in the house BEFORE J got there, in an attempt to prevent a meeting.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Actually her exact theory is that it's Tim, and that Brian and/or Alex and/or Cameraguy are in the house. And Tim is up to no good. And now, stabbed!

Could be either, but it seems like J's. Maybe not. Perhaps somebody could send J a message asking if he had any wounds or was hurt in any way?

You know what, in all honesty, that blood or whatever it is seems almost like it's dry...

Think that's just more clippings, not blood.

Also, another friend of mine thinks J was dragged off the masked fellow, toward the living room, then knocked out.
