I've always taken for granted that Jay was involved with the Slennanigans from the start, not that he was/had a doppleganger or was being time-fucked-with. We really do need to see where this is going I guess. D: I still think that Jay got tangled up in Slenderman along with the rest. His 'helping out during the beginning before going back to classes' could always have been a cover, or a partial cover to explain the memory loss.

Man, setting Jay up to actually get help from Tim would have everyone on the edge of their seats wondering if Tim IS Masky and if he's going to make a face-heel turn at some point. D: "OH GOD, DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM, JAY!" I can't see Tim being more helpful than he was, unless Jay were to sit him down and show him the footage from #17 and #20, point out Slenderman in the background of #17, say, "Dude, do you remember this? Okay, well do you see that guy? Tell me you don't remember any of this because if you don't, we have some serious work to do here. And if you do then for the love of sanity tell me what the hell is going on!"

As for the footage, you're probably right. Seems intentional from a narrative point of view at the very least. Creepy that someone might be standing right outside, staring at a camera! Could explain the strange things going on with the lack of distortion... or something? (What if the camera is right outside Jay's bedroom window, which is why we see distortion there for a minute, because someone's standing right outside? :o)

eta: Damn, I'm good at popping new pages. XDD

And while Jay is confronting Tim, on camera, Slenderman slowly opens the door and walks into the room without the two noticing. Camera goes nuts, but when it cuts in Slendy is just standing there next to them, without them noticing. Hell, they could look right at him and not notice. Then more camera screwage, cut back in and everyone's gone.

Video would be posted by totheark in a less insane fashion, in Jay's video style (black cards with white text for information). Ends on the text "theyare notdead". My mind would be blown.

But back on topic... If someone were outside the bedroom window wouldn't someone have tried to make it more obvious of the location of the source? It felt more like the distortion was either coming from Jay or coming from whatever was causing him to have his sleasure (slendy-seizure). Could it be that both Jay and Masky are under the influence of something that causes seizures and now Jay is at a level of contamination that would cause him to go into sleasures, similar to masky in the house?

Jay needs to find some epilepsy medicine... and Masky or totheark needs to help Jay out with that... Actually, Jay will probably wake up to find some pills in his bathroom and post that on twitter one of these mornings...

Lurker here, watcher of Marble Hornets. I've commented on J's twitter a few times (never had a reply, though), but that's the extent of it.

Just a thought: it's possible that the "face" we see is actually just the reflection of, say, the headlights of a car hitting a window, then being recorded. We're just making it out to be more important then it is.

Also; I wonder what kind of camera system J uses? If it's low-quality, it's possible that someone may have been able to hack into it from ~somewhere else~ and force the camera leading to his computer room to loop footage from earlier in the day. J hasn't said whether he remembers what he was doing during those two hours, but it is possible that he simply stayed in the computer room for the missing two hours.

As for the distortion, it's possible that Masky/Slendy was outside J's boarded-up window - if the theory that the light-in-the-camera is Masky, it's possible that he merely moved around the building a little; the only problem is that the last time this happened (Entry #19? idk), the camera didn't mess up until Masky was in the room. Naturally, the thought that spurred this idea was "Heyyyy J lemme in I brought Scrabble D:"

Alternatively, Masky entered the computer room while J was sleeping (hence the distortion in the next room while he was there) and told it to loop the footage, including the footage being recorded when he was in the room (removing his presence). Then, he hung around in the computer room until J came in, then... um. Did something to him? I don't know. As for the stopping/starting of distortion when Masky may have been in the computer room, the videos have never distorted equally: Entry #1 has no distortion (or very little) when Slendy in on-screen, same for Entry #5 (?) when Alex runs into Slenderman a few metres from the camera. Masky's introduction had no distortion as well.

Just some random ideas.

Firstly, 'sleasures' sounds way more sleazy to me than slenderific. XD *snrk*

I'm actually liking the theory that the entire room is teleporting, hence the distortion throughout. Also, there is a black chunk for a moment between the distortion (a brand new kind that we haven't seen before, which may or may not be important~ Maybe the jail bars sort of shapes are going to be Jay-specific?) and the regular looking room. More time could have passed while we're seeing black than just a second -- I don't think anyone's mentioned that before.

But really it doesn't seem exactly like the distortion is themed... or that one hasn't been developed yet. So far it's been mostly 'oh shit, the camera's acting up! Slendy's near by!' but that almost seems to be changing. o_o' I hope that they are not getting too complicated and overwhelmed with where they're going.

J is wearing the same shirt from the Return TTA vid.
Granted, a white T isn't exactly distinctive...

But maybe the "Return" video was from the future at the time it was posted, and is actually... where J went when he disappeared from entry 24?


I don't think so. If you remember, J disappeared for a few hours in Entry 19, and Return was a response to that.

Personally, I think the 'face' on the screen was either Slendy or Masky peeking in. Think about it. It makes sense that, the reason Jay or Alex can never remember anything except what's on the tapes is because Slendy and Masky are literally IN the tapes. It's their little window into watching the people they stalk, and would explain why Masky did not show up until Jay began sifting through the tapes and watching for Slendy.

Maybe I'm just blind, but I'm really not seeing a face on the TV even after checking a few times. :S Can someone highlight it for me? Is it just that vague skull shape?

EDIT: New tweet that might add fuel to the teleportation fire:

Checked the latest surveillance footage again last night. Nothing unusual. Maybe Entry #24 was a camera glitch? 32 minutes ago from web

Okay, so I've tried to make sense of this show for a while, and It just creeps me out everytime. Working nights at a slow hotel doesn't help either.......

Posting here the first time, and I tried to read through all those damn pages and decided to quit at like 13. I'm too important for that shit.

Anyway, those faces, the red and the blue ones. Well the blue one literally shows up outta nowhere, and after a few seconds you can see it morph until you can see a latticework that looks a lot like the teeth on the skullmask. I'm guessing it shows up at the forehead and as it stands taller you can eventually see the teeth.

The red face though.....scares me.

You see, the red face DOESN'T teleport there from nowhere....no, If you look closely, that figure is in the left side of the tv screen, and in a matter of frames, moves DOWN THE FUCKING STREET in a streak and stares at the fucking camera. I have no idea why, but this really scares me. And the streak is composed primarily of black........ Anyway it's only for like 3 frames, but you can clearly see it. And sorry if this has already been posted, but I really don't have the patience.
