Hey guys, I'm just gonna ask this as painlessly as possible.

Does anyone know the actual location of the bath house from Entry 13? I know where MH is filmed, but I can't find bath house ANYWHERE on Google Earth. I won't give any of this information away, you can PM it to me. I have found a lot of stuff but the main thing I am lacking is that.

I dunno if this post violated any rules... if it did I will delete it.

Honestly, I really don't think that they're going to be nitpicking over who's car appears where.

If J wound up in a strange car, I'd think he'd mention it for the sake of the story. It's probably the car owned by the guy who plays J, and it appeared in Entry 6 because he was there to direct.

Looks like you found me out, Moon. I'm really TTA, and I got a tip that the ark was around here.

I'm just trying to lead J down the wrong path. How I appear in Alabama so quickly? Magical robot powers, of course!


So you're going to help Slendy impregnate J with his slenda-spawn too? DAMN I knew it! End game! What do I win?!

Do you know, why J's latest Entry was 19.5, not 20?

Because it was really just an update about his situation with no new footage. The rest of it just recapped what had already happened.

Hey guys... look what I found! The detective work I had to do to find this sucked BALLS. I basically had to trace someone's username from SomethingAwful (since it costs 10 bucks to join, what the hell) to Facebook, and look at their hometown since they said they saw the bathhouse on the way to work every day. Turns out, it was in a different city from the other stuff and when I had that part of it right, I was able to track it down. Very Happy



And look how close my map was, hahahah. Good old MS Paint. The only thing I seem to have gotten wrong was the placement of the stairs/bleachers and the statue. I had them 45 degrees too far counterclockwise.

However, my path for Alex was totally wrong, it turns out. They got cropped out by mistake, but the buildings you see in the background when Jay is getting the batteries out of the Mustang are along the road to the right. Which means, for them to be in the background of that shot, whoever was recording Jay was still on the trail and not by the bathhouse. So that pretty much debunks my theory unless Alex just started BOOKING and didn't stop.

Judging by the scale of the bathhouse, though, it seems like the trail is much longer than I had previously thought. If you notice, my bathhouse drawing was enormous compared to the real thing. So suddenly everything just got twice as vast as I pictured it. I blew it there.

Here is the ACTUAL position of our stalker friend. He's nowhere near the bathhouse. And judging by the video, when he ran away after Jay finished at the car, he ran in the OPPOSITE direction of the bathhouse. So looks like Alex is out of the question, unless, once again, we take into consideration that the terrain wasn't meant to look like it does in real life in MH.





The buildings were apparently both green when the satellite photos were taken, but they are definitely the same two.

Oh, and I was talking to my friend today who is a theater major. He told me his friend from out of town (also a theater major) was watching MH with him and realized that both Tim and Brian are in his acting class! He's going to try to get in touch with them (OOG of course). I might not have believed it, but the location of the bathhouse is the same place that this guy goes to college. So it looks like they do some scenes at home and others at the secondary location. Knowing this, I bet there is a lot more to find now.

Please keep in mind you need to respect the curtain and not pester the PMs out-of-game. Posting things like pix of their homes or their classes or school and whatnot wouldn't be cool. Just be aware of boundaries.

Oh I don't even know the guy, I won't even see them. I just meant that he personally was going to get back in touch with them. I'm pretty sure they are friends, he just didn't know they were a part of something like this.

Edit: I definitely misread your post, lol. I'm definitely treating it with respect. I just mainly want to have the locations on file for things like testing theories (like I did above with the vantage point) when terrain could be analyzed. Me and a couple of friends who all live very close might get in the car one day and drive by some of the locations but that's the extent of it.

I'm... not seeing the similarities between the houses you say are in the background and the screenshot attached. And also you put J and the mustang in the forest when they obviously aren't Razz

They are the same buildings, look at the three white chimneys on the right building. They are present in both. The only difference is that in the few years since the satellite photos were taken, someone painted the right building orange/red.

I put Jay a little bit too close to the camera guy, yeah. The perspective was messing with me. The parking lot is partially under the tree canopy and you can see that the Mustang is pretty close to the trees and also in the shade. He's a little too far under the canopy, you're right, but moving him backwards a bit wouldn't affect the vantage point at all. I made sure those buildings were the same, trust me.

Huh, cool find guys. As long as it's not used for PM stalking, I'm OK with it (Not that I have much power in the first place Razz)

The more I think about it the more I get the feeling that Entry 1 is sort of important.

If you take that blueshoes guy video from youtube, you can see there aren't 3 white chimneys (or whatever they are) but 4...

Plus the building in the satelite photo has hexagonal roof, not circular (like seen in entry #13 and the guys video)....

Plus what's supposed to be the stone benches look more like a white wall in said photo (although it's kind of blurry, you have a better look at it since you found it and can zoom in).

And there's no evidence that those same buildings can be seen from both J's and Alex's point of view, or parking lot and building respectively (since that guys video cuts between his staying at the building and the sighting of the houses).

Hmm, I don't know, I'm a bit skeptical about that being the exact same building and not another similar one in another place, but anything could happen (those photos being very old, or maybe they filmed #13 in 2006 indeed and it had drastic changes from then)...

I'm 100% positive that this is the right building. I verified the exact coordinates and I have the photos of someone who went there first hand. She lives in the area and passes it daily on her way to work. She recognized it in the MH videos and went there herself and took on-site photos that matched the video. The fountain, the stairs, the exact building. I found the satellite image myself before I actually got to talk to her by looking at her hometown on Facebook and applying that to a Google search for a bathhouse in that city. I also read up on the history of it and know its actual name. Then, after talking to her, she verified that it was the right place.

I'm not going to break the fourth wall, but PM me if you need further proof or want a full explanation. I'll give you all the proof you want.

EDIT: Here are the pictures she went and took after seeing Entry 13, no harm in posting these.





I showed her the satellite photo and she confirmed that it was the right address. Also, the steps (bleachers) look weird on the satellite photo because the huge pool that used to fill the entire grassy field in front of them was filled with dirt just before the satellite photo was taken. There was no grass yet so it looked like a concrete slab from above.

Well, I didn't take those pictures (I found them and posted the links on SA). But I have gone and taken pictures of the spot. I didn't want to post the ones I took for fear of further damage to the fourth wall. Smile

But the orange building is across the street, and there is an area in the woods where someone could watch the parking area where Jay was. It's a creepy place, all overgrown and abandoned. *shudder*

Do us ALL a favor, and any questions that get asked, any info, any ANYTHING, please dont post it here. I, and certainly others on here, don't want it ruined for them. ^_^

Lets just hope we don't screw it up for them.

Oops, my mistake with the miscredited photos. I want to go there so badly.
