 		I've managed to anagram all of the combined words in the clip and rearrange them to ot this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Gimme 20 dollars"

"Return to us"

"Totheark"

Sailor. Wave of oncoming people.

Sounds like someone wants someone else to return to the ark.

EDIT: Just thought of something.

Tim and some other dude (I've got a hard time following names and what) BOTH experience sickness and cold in that one house. You know that one I'm talking about. They get sick by the closet. Then there's the "Return" response of TTA's which features a dude in that VERY same hallway WITH Slender Man (I presume, although I could be wrong. It does look eerily similar, and you can just barely see the closet on the left side.) Coupled with my above theory, I will now venture to say that the house [Entry #17, #20, others?) is THE ark.

The house is the ark. Return to the house. I'm not quite sure if I want to call in interdimensional portal yet.

The house could very well be the root cause of everything bad happening. It makes sense. It could be causing people to get sick but also trapping them inside.

It could at least be partially responsible.

And yes, you are right. The same hallway appears in Entries 16, 18, 20, Return, and Addition. Someone is sick in the house (and in the hallway) in 16, 18, 20, and Addition (from another angle, haha). You could also say that Jay is sick in Return, since he's slumped against the wall looking comatose.

We don't know if Tim was coughing like that before he got to the house in Entry 20, or only feeling odd. That's the only thing.

 		Are we absolutely certain that the clip of the sailor is stock footage? I've watched it a few times and it looks like digital footage edited to look "stocky" if you will. That may underline its symbolism of Alex's indecision to destroy the tapes.

I'm starting to think we're dealing with cult-ish behavior here. The symbols, the pseudo-biblical imagery. And now we have footage of a reluctant sailor...or should we say reluctant soldier? Perhaps Slender, through TTA is recruiting an army of some kind for some sort of uprising? It would explain Alex believing all his friends were "gone" (ie: converted).

I dunno, just tossing stuff out there.

 		Posted this on YouTube and the trailhead since it was based on this video but mainly an overall theory, but I thought I would put it here too.

I think there is more to Jay. What if he is the one who made this new totheark video? What if he, at least in part, IS totheark? Maybe not initially, but what if he is now? What if it got passed onto him? At first it didn't make sense to me, but if he just recently took over, it could explain the long break without videos and the sudden style change of TTA.

If you notice, this video looks very different from other totheark videos. For instance, like I said before, "Return to us" is in the exact same font and style as Jay's text in his Entries (dating back to the Introduction). That has never happened before.

Maybe "Wake up" is him telling himself to snap out of it and realize that he is actually communicating with himself.

 		I don't know about Jay being TTA, but I did notice, and find it odd that 'return to us' was in the exact same font as Jay uses.

One theory is that TTA is part of a group of people (or a group of people) who are working against Slenderman... possibly the whole Marble Hornets gang, who've recovered their memories, and are trying to get Jay to join their fight. They want him to 'wake up' and 'return to us' in the sense that they want him to regain his memories and come back into the fold.

The other theory that's in my head at the moment is that the 'us' is a combination of Slenderman and TTA. I can't account so much for the 'wake up' message in this case, but the 'return to us' and 'awaiting your arrival' thing could just be taunting him to come back to the house, like Signal seemed to be.

I'm just really glad we finally got something. I was starting to worry that MarbleHornets was abandoned by its creators there for a while.

 		Wonder why J has noted TTA's video, and anyone think the sailor and the footage might be connected to TTA's other vid "messages"?

 		Did some (additional) recon
To The Dark


When the video flashes, you can capture this image. This is what i've gathered via my recon about the image:
"Check out the skull-faced chap standing by his old-timey penny farthing at the center of this frame and his semi-transparent friend standing a little to the right. In the frame immediately before this one, when everything first brightens, the folks on their bicycles have black voids where there eyes should be.

Probably just an effect of screwing with the levels in old film clips, but creepy just the same.

Just realized that the transparent guy is the skull-face dude. There's another of him further to the left, too. Staring at this thing in full-screen mode, I got this weird feeling that it was an autostereogram. I can never get those drat Magic Eye things to work, though, and it's probably nothing anyway. Just figured I'd mention it."



This was found in the Youtube video's last frame! You can clearly see the Red Tower/Burnt Fire Tower! It even has the operator symbol, and i'm not sure if it's a new frame or from J's visit. However, the most disturbing thing is the Slenderman is there!! If you look closely, you can see a grey suit connected to a humanoid head and an ear! Slenderman is waiting and collaborating/controlling ToThe(D)Ark.

(If images don't work on the forum, right click and copy image location or open in a new tab)

one: link broken

two: someone on the first page posted the "final second" frame and it definitely doesn't have slender man in it.

All I did was crop the photo, and transform it in Photoshop to blow it up. Are you telling me you STILL can't see the man standing in the grey suit? You can clearly see the shape of his head, and ear. He's either bald or his face is completely blank!


Freeze frame

 		Definitely not a slenderman. Sorry. Just a light colored circular shape over a dark tall shape. If that was him, he would either be 2 inches tall or on the complete other side of the clearing.

 		definitely not.


anyway, doesn't it seem like this is a response to 21 and not 22? Especially because the last frame was taken from 21. [/img]

 		Suggestion
Have you guys ever used a spectrogram on the audio? I'm curious.

 		Sorry, but I agree with SlendySense and celticsfan87. That's not Slendy standing there. Just a blur on the camera.

 		If this video says "return to us" meaning return to the house/to where Slendy and Masky are, then I can only assume it just means that: they want him back for some reason.

However, what if the "us" in the video is referring to Alex, Seth, etc...All the people Alex said were "gone." What bothers me is that Alex said J was gone as well. Perhaps J and/or Alex don't/didn't realize it, but maybe J escaped whatever fate the others who disappeared had to suffer? Maybe that's why totheark is calling him back? I dunno. I'm tired and just throwing out ideas.


EDIT: If somebody understands what I'm trying to say better than I myself do - which isn't unlikely - feel free to make my words sound more palpable.
