Those answers are so awesome. XD Morscata, you are my favorite.

Well played, Morscata.

I have another few questions.

Do you think that Masky intentionally screws up the footage with his face, or is it just an effect of something else..? If so, then we have to figure out WHY distortion is important.

Of course, it's a way to get Jay's attention when he looks through the films, but there has to be another reason why..

This is what I mean when I say going back to the basic questions. For Alex, Jay, Masky, TTA, Tim (treating them as separate for this moment), even slendy..

What are their motives? What are they doing to achieve this?

I doubt Slendy's the type of villain who 'just wants to eat y'all' orwants20dollaz , so we should really figure out what he wants, and why Alex, why Jay? Why "Marble Hornets", as a production?

I don't think that such a unique title would take centre stage for no absolute reason other than it was Alex's abandoned production.. There's something significant about the name or the production itself that is really very easy to overlook..

Why would Masky OR TTA care so much about Jay that they/he would send him messages, cryptic hints etc. Try to drive him away from Slendy, or towards "figuring it all out"?


Man I feel so useless, coming up with questions and no answers.. but I feel that they're an essential part of solving the mysteries...

OH GOD. Sorry for the flooding of this thread.. But I'm in the mood for MH hysteria..

I just re-watched Entry #12. I think that this is the first sighting of Slenderman. Everyone (Brian and Alex, who are actually in the shot) seems to be pretty calm about it. The camera man even says "Can we uh.. get him off the set?" or something to that effect. There also seems to be a female voice asking "What's he doing?".

Could be Jessica, jus' sayin'.

That leaves unnamed cameraman.

The fact that Alex and Brian are the only ones in the shot has got to mean something.

Also in Entry 3, all the tapes are of post-Slendysighting Alex.
The first tape that we see, is of him ripping up magazines (the shreds of which are on the floor when Jay goes to the abandoned house). We have to consider the significance of this.. Maybe he was ripping up their faces, as if it were some sort of attraction for Slendy.


crackpot theory: Maybe Slendy wants faces 'cuz you know.. He doesn't have one.

I think that while Masky/TTA wants something out of Jay, he knows that Jay isn't going to give it freely; he's forgotten everything so he needs to have his head dunked into the proverbial toilet a few times to clear his mind.

Re: ripped up faces in magazines, don't forget all of the (X)'s scrawled on Alex's wall-full-of-crazy. They might not all represent the Operator!

I'm under the impression that the teleportation, black outs, and audio/video distortions are all things the Operator controls/creates. But Masky/TTA also seems to be able to use them too, this leads me to believe there are rules to controlling it. I think the operator symbol and the insane scribbles (possibly the slender doll and pills) all play a part in controlling these phenomenons. When Jay is running through the house there is a dry erase board, next to a door that he runs through repeatedly, with the operator symbol on it. Alex seemed to be scribbling on those papers to ward off Slenderman (that didn't seem to work). The pills, I think, have been Ibuprofen the whole time, and they're just used to lessen the pain of slenderification. The slender doll... eh... points to doors (for... teleportation)? There has to be some sort of interface for humans to use to control these powers. Jay hasn't figured any of it out yet, as he keeps running haphazardly through it all, but I think he's starting to understand there are rules.

Teleportation: involves doors and not being seen.
Audio/visual distortion: involves the presence of someone who controls the phenomenon.
Black outs: ???

I'm to the persuasion that TTA and masky are one and the same I also believe that TTA is against theSM/ operator. Taking what little we know about the Operator, what can we come to the conclusion of?

First of all, it seems to be able to somehow 'skip' through our realm of existence, going from one place to another in the blink of an eye. I say this because in one of the entries the slender man is seen entering the room, but when Alex wakes up presumably finds nothing. link to the entry coming, it eludes me at the moment.

Second; it could be speculated that it has some form of weakness in regards to cameras both with a single frame ability and video. While on the video the Slender man has moved slowly, retaining a human-like movement and bound to the solid walls and doors that bar its path. This is also supported by the fact that Alex had become obsessed with filming, perhaps to hold the Slender Man still as opposed to recording what happened.

Third; Locked doors and windows don't seem to bar its path. When on camera it is seen standing outside the door, unable to enter. It can be assumed that later in the night it entered the house, but this remains speculation.

Fourth; There may or may not be more than one of them, which would make the teleportation theory mostly obsolete.

The last one I have is that the SM has some way of locating his prey, this is unclear as Alex made his escape, but seems fairly reasonable that it has to do with film as the first time alex is near a camera SM shows up.

I also think that the video distortion is completely TTA/ Masky, because the video doesn't screw up when its just the operator. It is possible as well, however, that TTA is wanted by the operator as a means of getting around the restrictions placed on him by cameras.
