Well, following the theory that Slenderman is attracted to / travels through currents of electricity (which i think is brilliant), then that would also explain why alex turns off his lights when he goes downstairs in entry 11

EDIT:

I just rewatched entry 1 and i noticed that instead of complete silence, there is that airy sound that cameras record when it's quiet. it goes on through the entire video, even during the narration slides. probably nothing really important, i just don't remember it the first time i watched it.

Another thing i noticed was that in entry 3, alex looks out at some trees at about 0:50. these look like the trees in the rain from Impurity. also in Impurity, lightning flashes from the storm. in light of the new theories, maybe this means something?

Are you sure it's not just speaker noise from turning the sound up?

Actually, it does sound like air. That's weird.

Don't know if this is been brought up yet, but, if Masky isn't Tim or someone else that Jay and Alex know, isn't it possible that Masky was stalking Alex as well? Granted there's no evidence on the tapes that suggest that besides Alex's paranoia. But it's just a thought.

Not a bad thought, I've checked out the video.

The flash is followed by "operator" appearing in the bottom left corner. Possibly signalling the link between the electricity and the operator (now assumed to be SM).

So, heres just what I can find between SM and light/electricity:

E#1: SM is seen almost inspecting an outside light bulb.

E#2: Alex talks about the light under which SM was standing, its thought that the tape ends so suddenly because SM makes an appearance - still hanging around the lampost.

E#4: We catch a glimpse of SM as he strides past Alex. He is almost silhoutted against the light from the lampost in the background. The playground also seems to be heavily lit from some other light source.

E#6: Follows from #1, SM peers through Alex's windows and seems to glow oddly. This could be glare from the outside lights but seems oddly bright considering the orangish light they gave off in #1.

E#7: SM's first daylight appearance. Not much else to say really.

E#10: Again, another daylight appearance.

E#11: SM is only barely visible outside Alex's window in this one, many people miss him at first, but its generally agreed he is there - he is lit from above. Alex focuses for a moment on a lamp - possibly not relavent but maybe he noticed something about it? When he returns to bed, SM's shadow passes over Alex.

E#12: Another daylight appearance, he seems totally unphased by it.

E#13: Some more filming shots, SM lurks in plain sight. The operator symbol is found on the walls.

E#14: Most of the time, Alex's interior lights seem to be off. SM appears at Alex's door, silhouetted, and enters.

E#17: SM lurks behind the MH crew, in shot the whole time (although, interestingly, not giving off a huge amount of interference - he must be able to actively control it).

E#22: Some say they see SM down the pipe which the camera points. Some don't. What is clear is during Alex's sign off at the end, a mysterious shadowy arm seems to engulf him.

E#23: J's romp around the house. Nightime emerges super quickly here but SM isnt seen till the very end where he is bathed in an oddly pink (?) light.

E#24: J leaves the darkened room and goes into his bedroom, the lighter room, when he attempts to return back into the dark room he disappears.




There are other links, but they are the most obvious.

That's a great compilation, should come in handy.

Now, speaking of light bulbs...

<a>Photobucket</a>

There you have it, I just cracked this bitch wide open. Now all we have to do is account for his size, but you know Gyro's always up to some bullshit, so this could all be his fault as far as we know.

But, on a fairly more serious note, check this out;

<a>Photobucket</a>

What is that? Is that wiring, as in electrical wiring, or just wires, like steel cables keeping the tower together? It's been bugging me for some time now, just thought I'd get a second opinion.

Huh? I thought that was just distortion. I mean, especially considering he's still talking afterwards.

Really? Check again man, seriously looks like an arm! Someone made a gif of it, can someone post it?

It's definitely an arm reaching over, with the clever use of shadow puppets-like playing around. I'll gif-ify it once I'm done some other work, if someone else doesn't come up with it first!

I just watched it over and over. It does look vaguely like an arm, but the fact that afterwards he continues talking as if nothing happened confuses me.

It confuses me, too. Doesn't it seem like there's a cut shortly after the arm squeeshes his head, though? It could be that something happened and caused him to reset the tape, to tape over that one part? Surprised I don't know, it was probably discussed at length in the #22 thread.

Y'know, knowing J's luck, he'd probably end up at this hotel.

Yeeeeeap. And one that I, amazingly enough, cannot finish, despite having logged hundreds of hours on all sorts of spooky/frightening video games.

VIRAL ADVERTISING WEBSITES HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING THAT CREEPY. Crying or Very sad

Seriously? Well then, I may waste some time dicking around there. XD Do you HAVE to have your webcam on? I was just browsing the terms and the thought of having my picture snapped kind of bothers me. o.o
