Admission can mean two things... Either, an admission of something, or an admission TO something. Admitting he committed a crime, or admitting someone into a theme park. See what I mean?

And it appears to be Slenderman, walking from one side to the other, in front of the sliding glass door Jay uses to enter the house... And then, some kind of pantry door or something opening up to obscure the upper half of vision. And ten closing...

Wait, there was a door like that in the hall leading to the front door, remember? Jay looked inside and saw the word "BONE" spray painted in white. And then, distortion with a rather unnerving face... A bald one. Slenderman's face?

This is a very good point. I'm thinking that admission in this video can mean both. First, admission as in a confession. The confession, in my opinion, would be that there are things behind the locked doors that are of utmost importance and should be discovered. "There are doors unopened" supports this since it seems that TTA is trying to guide Jay by giving him a hint to the next step of the journey. Second, admission as in being allowed to enter. If this video is any indicator, it seems as if the locked door has been unlocked, and is ready to "admit" Jay. The room is waiting for Jay to discover its secrets.

That's all I've got so far. I'm not really good with puzzles or working with audio and video files, but language and meaning are right up my alley. Got to put my English degree to work somehow!

 		Call me stupid if you want to, but is Slenders walking inside or outside? Because if I try to view it like he's walking inside, it looks more human to me.

I'm thinking that Slendy is definitely on the inside. Mostly because once he glides into the darker part of the screen, you can still distinctly see his outline. I think that if he were outside, you wouldn't see that outline due to the filter that has been applied to the video. Again, video isn't my forte, but that is how it looks to me.

And Slendy always looks slightly human, no? Sure, it is in an otherworldly sort of way, but his general outline is quite humanoid. Aside from that creepy head cock thing he has going on. *shudders*

 		The reason I say he looks more human is because it looks like he's holding his hands behind his back in a certain way. I don't know why I think that, but I just do.

I can totally see where you would think that. Honestly, it just looks like he is slightly hunched over, and because the video is so grainy, his silhoutte blends with the slats of the blinds. As he moves, it looks like he is holding his hands or arms behind his back. Then again, there is no reason that Slendy wouldn't do that. The way he is moving across the room is almost like he is slow pacing. Having his arms behind his back could mesh with a pacing caricature.

Either way, I think it is Slendy and not a human. The way he is moving is very similar to how he moved in Return with that same sort of glide walk that he does.

 		This was a very interesting video, and I feel compelled to comment on a few aspects of it:

Clicking sounds:
There are clicking sounds throughout the video. Nothing really of note in itself, but this sounds very similar to the constant background clicking in Entry #22.

Door?:
In the background, there is what looks like a full-length window or patio door partially covered by vertical blinds. Has this appeared in any videos before? It creates a nice bar effect, don't you think? This might be a nod towards the idea of SM being trapped. If so, it's quite an ingenious piece of symbolism. Note that I don't care for the "trapped SM" theory.

Face in the static:
The first time I watched this was on my smartphone - so it was at a lower resolution than when I watched it on my laptop later. On first watching, I'm sure I could make out a face in the static at the end. Maybe this could be attributed to the fact that you can pretty much see a face anywhere if you scrunch up your eyes enough!

Not-So-Slender-Man:
Here's the most interesting idea. The figure in this video might not be SM. I don't think he's tall enough. Consider the door in the background. It should be about the same standard size as all the other doors in the house. Now consider that SM had to crouch to get through the door to Alex's room in #14. If you think about the perspective, the figure will appear at its smallest if it were right next to the door. The figure seems to be significantly smaller than the door frame, leading me to believe that the figure is not as tall as SM.

However, this might be a case of technical limitations. In these low-budget ARGs, you can never be sure if an inconsistency is a clue, or just a continuity error.

But if it's true, and the figure is not SM, who is it?

You make a lot of good points. As far as the sound, I'm no help, but maybe someone can check that out.

With the window/glass patio door, we have seen that before. When Jay enters the house where he finds Masky, he enters through a back patio door, and goes through similar slatted blinds. I'm guessing the perspective of the shot is just to establish that the location of this video and the house are one and the same.

With the face in the static, again, I can't help you. I don't see one in my viewings of the video, but I could just be missing it. I'm watching on an HD screen, and so far I don't see anything in the static that could be perceived as a face.

And as for whether it is SM or not, I'm still on the side that it is. From whatwe know of SM, he can adjust his size as necessary, although he tends to stay on the taller side. Even still, if the room has a high enough ceiling, he wouldn't have to crouch or be too awkward. In Return, he walks full on at the camera and there is no evidence that he is having to crouch and that he fits just fine. Considering that the location in both that video and this one is the same, I think it is logical to believe that this could be Slendy.

Plus, the video seems to be zoomed in as we watch Slendy glide by, but then the perspective changes as we see the door swing open. If the room is deeper than we can tell due to the filter on the video, then that can change the height of the figure. Also, if that is a glass door he is walking in front of, it is probably a bit taller than the average door inside the house. I have a similar patio door to the one in the video and it is slightly bigger than all the doors in the rest of the house.

 		Question. The door that swings open, it doesn't look like a full door does it? When Jay was walking through the house in his previous tours, the locked doors seemed to be full sized, at least from my viewing. What could a door that size and that high up lead to? I have one similar in my house, but when you open it you are just faced with the water heater.

Anyone else have a take on this? Or am I just seeing the video wonky?

 		I've got Adobe Soundwave, but so far I've only been able to figure out how to slow/speed the pitch and time of soundclips ripped from youtube... any suggestions on what steps I should take to try to get some meaning out of this?

(I'll see if I can save and upload .mp3's or .wav's of anything that is useful, if anything comes up, as the slowed down 'alex? brian?' from the coughing fit scene sounded more like 'hush, brian' to me when we'd finished jiggering it apart.

I agree. It looks like it was taken in the same hallways as all the other videos, but facing from the front door to the back sliding door. The only door I could think of that's not flush with the ground is the one with the heating unit it with the "bone" writing inside. The other door being the on the video was filmed from, that's right next to the front door of the house.

Interesting thought, especially after the last video with Alex and the weird "boiler room-eque" setting.
