Could the sound distortion be from the camera lying on the floor? Where is the mic on the camera? If it's on the side that the camera fell on would it muffle it?

While we don't have any concrete proof that the Slender Man can manipulate memories, we do have some circumstantial evidence.

-Slender Man was around, in entry #17, where J has no recollection in the slightest. Slender Man was also nearby in entry #13, where his memory was admittedly blurry.

-Alex was filming himself and we're left to assume that it was at a nearly non-stop basis. We have records of Alex taping himself driving, sitting at his computer, and even shopping - there's likely in game footage of him eating, using the restroom, showering, etc. But that -isn't- important to the story.

-On the Something Awful forums, there's a lot of talk about how he can effect people's minds. People "reporting" how they drew him years ago and entirely forgot, how they saw him as a child and the thread triggered it, how he can control people and the like. While I realize a good deal of you say that its out of game, we -have- to take in to consideration that this series was dropped in that thread. J could have as easily started a new thread, saying "hey, this Slender Man stuff is reminding me of something..." Instead, he posted it on that particular thread. And it is a -shared- mythos.

I couldn't hear EFG say "boo", even with my computer volume all the way up. I think I can hear what sounds like a breath or whisper, though - is that it?

Yeah, that breath is it. It sounds a bit like boo, and it's in the proper place for it to have come from EFG to alert J to his presence, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume he did in fact say "boo".

As for the distortion, no. It started when EFG attacked J, not when he was on the floor.

The idea that Alex was filming himself constantly because HIS memory was failing just occurred to me.

J is beginning to suffer from the same symptoms.

This memory distortion and recording device distortion may be part of Slender Man's natural defense mechanisms, helping him remain obscure and mysterious.

Two2teps: We can at least agree that SM is doing something to Masky's brain that is severely affecting his actions, right? To me, the idea of SM mind-controlling people is less interesting/relevant/important than the idea/evidence that even mere knowledge of SM's existence can have/has brutal effects on people's minds.

I still think there's something to EFG (what does that stand for?) basically announcing his presence to J, then just sitting there and staring at him for a few seconds before attacking. He didn't ambush J, which he easily could have. He waited until J saw him, then attacked him. That's got to be significant.

A big part of the whole forgotten/repressed memories thing on SA is that memories of Slender Man are just so horribly tramautic that he's constantly forced to the back of the mind by anyone who encounters him-even if he doesn't actually do anything to them. In that way, it may be an unintentional side effect of his existence, rather than something SM is doing on purpose.

I believe I'm on a roll tonight lol.

So do we stick it in this thread or create a new thread about the facts?
