Goodness gracious. TTA doesn't seem to be playing around with this one. This one feels like a genuine warning, for some reason. Very unnerving.

I can only make out certain parts of the audio, many parts are pretty unclear to me, but I can definitely hear things like

"Just wait 'till we're alone together..."
"Go upstairs to your room. I will be waiting for you. I will surround your bed. Close your windows...."

But other than that almost everything is too unclear for me to determine.

Anyone know what film the footage (and/or audio) is from?

Separating out the reds and blues/greens is similar to the end of Entry #17 when the video distorted. Isn't that also how they make movies 3D?

The man in the suit smoking has distortion across his head. Reference to Slender Man's no-face or to the distortion in the shadow of Tim's head in Entry 17?

COME BACK appears at the end, but is 1. out of focus 2. crossed by bars of some sort.

Definitely agree with Vicarious Atonement: anyone know what the source(s) for the video and audio is?

Before "Go upstairs to your room": "Many of them refuse to speak. Leave them."

Night Gallery (1970-1973): Segment: Silent Snow, Secret Snow (Orson Welles):
"Even here, even among these hostile presences, the snow was waiting, out of sight, with a voice that said, 'Wait, Paul. Just wait till we are alone together. I will tell you something new. Something cold, something sleepy, something of cease and peace and the long bright curve of space. Banish them. Refuse to speak. Go upstairs to your room. I will be waiting for you. I will tell you a story better than the Snow Ghost. I will surround your bed, pile a deep drift against the door, so that none will ever again be able to enter.'"

Right on, wellspg! Thanks so much! Awesome how fast you can get a source around here. Smile

The audio seems to be a bit different than the quote on the website you linked. It goes as follows;

    Just wait till we are alone together. I will tell you something new. Something cold, something sleepy, something of cease and peace and the long bright curve of space. Banish them. Refuse to speak. Leave them. Go upstairs to your room. I will be waiting for you. I will surround your bed, close the windows, so that none will ever again be able to enter.

Wikipedia has an entry about Silent Snow, Secret Snow. The plot/interpretations sound at least mildly relevant.

It absolutely does. Alex was described as acting strange and becoming more distant. Neat that aside from being just plain creepy, the footage and audio source has some relevance.

But I wonder if TTA is trying to communicate something with this or just amp up the creep-out factor. Could be a stretch, but maybe the source's connection with snow (snow being frozen water) is a roundabout way of once more emphasizing the importance of the connection between water and Slender Man? If TTA is indeed the Slender Man, I don't know why he'd assert his own weakness, but it's just a thought.

The cryptic "COME BACK" message at the end is typical of TTA's videos, but never before has TTA uploaded something like this. Interesting.

"The progressive withdrawal from reality and social relationships, as well as preoccupation with idiosyncratically meaningful ideas could be interpreted as characteristic of schizophrenia, while the preoccupation with a specific interest could be interpreted as characteristic of Asperger syndrome." - the Wikipedia article you just posted.

Could this possibly refer to one of the characters having a split personality?

"COME BACK"

I think the idea behind this one is, whoever TTA is, is inviting J to go back to the house from entry 16. This is also supported by the video description "again".

"Go upstairs to your room. I will be waiting for you."

In the next entry J will probably break into that locked room. Will TTA be revealed?

Yeah, that "COME BACK" definitely creates an epic hype for the next entry. When I see that entry posted online, I'm getting my popcorn ready.

For more info about the Silent Snow, Secret Snow... well, here it is, as far as I know:

Part 1

& Part 2

Yeeeeah. What the flying fuck did I just watch?

But seriously, I think the story has really kicked off in the last two entries. The "Come Back" at the end was awesome. Oy, I'm psyched.

I knew I should have paid more attention to Night Gallery.

awesome find, very interesting story, but it seems as if he's just loosing his hearing due to his lisp.

the segment of the audio thats featured in signal is beckoning the boy up to his room, to entrance him, to cut him off from the world, to reveal all its secrets to him.

i assume back at the house in entry 16, he'll be able to get into one of the rooms upstairs to find all the secrets. but then a few parts of the audio make me fear for j:

"Just wait till we are alone together..."
"...something sleepy..."
"...I will be waiting for you. I will surround your bed, close the windows, so that none will ever again be able to enter."
