A twisted firestarter. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I find it remarkable that there is very little discussion on the fact that Slendy is very obviously standing among the crowd of onlookers in the amateur footage. What stands out to me is that no one else seems to really notice and/or care that there is a giant standing among them. Last I checked...Manute Bol doesn't live in Alabama...and even if he did he doesn't look like Powder...so it seems like someone would have noticed Slendy standing there. I think it illustrates perhaps that Slendy can reveal himself to whoever he wants (or doesn't want)...through whatever means he wants.

I'm 50/50 on TTA or Alex being the one who started the fire. It would be a nice callback if it was Alex and certainly bring things full circle...but holy cow does that seem like extreme measures! On the other hand...what if the reason Masky is Masky is because his face is horribly disfigured from a similar fire somewhere else.

Also, I appreciate that people are getting bored with this...but I don't think it's a reason to jump ship. It reminds me, as a comic book geek, of the debate a few years back about "writing for the trades"...meaning writing stories that flow better in collected form as opposed to month-by-month. It looks to me like our intrepid filmmakers may be "filming for the trade" so to speak. I, personally, am looking forward to the conclusion to the story so I can watch them all at once to see how it flows that way.

EDIT: And yes, I do realize that referencing a Prodigy song, Manute Bol and the film Powder shows my age a little bit. Oh well.

Could it be? A legitimate reason for the mask? I sure hope so, because all of these loose ends need some answers soon.

 		Did anyone see this? It might just be part of the fire truck, but it immediately screamed MASKY HANGIN OUT and him flipping J off.

 		I saw that too. I also just spent about five minutes going over the part at about 1:29 where it looks like a figure shows up in the bottom right corner, before realizing it was probably just Jay's reflection in the TV screen.

I should sleep more.

 		Just looks like the decal on the front of any fire truck:

Not the same truck, but you get the idea.

My vote is on this being Masky's doing; Slenderman doesn't seem to have a reason to torch Jay's place.


I put this in the trailhead forum, so I'll just copy and paste from myself. Smile

I'm not sure if this is completely right, but I had read somewhere that Slenderman shows himself before bad things happen, (much like the mothman if you are interested in cryptozoology). So, there is the chance that Slenderman or even Masky started the fire...

... But I'm more apt to believe the fact that the fire happened because Slenderman has been around Jay's apartment area.

 		Also, that clip with the home video with the Slendy in the crowds? People were saying Slendy was about eight feet high from doorways, correct? Well, if you notice the people standing around him, the height range for most of them look like 5-6 feet tall, which leave 2-3 feet for Slendy, and most of those people seem to come up to the torso of tall figure. That could very well be Slendy, and even if it is a stretch.....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The MH crew could have just put up a manikin, found someone with a voice similar to that news reporter, and tweaked the sound. Like I said, most likely a stretch, but I gotta give some sort of explanation. xD


EDIT: I thought it was some sort of large decal. Thanks, Mithost.

 		For me, the most surprising part of this entry was that Jay still has people who keep in touch with him. I figured he had isolated himself from his friends at this point - maybe there's hope for him yet.

At 1:15, the news reporter made it sound like the fire started in an apartment occupied by a woman. Seems weird that Masky/Slendy/etc didn't start it directly in J's place.

The trees behind the apartment (especially visible at 0:3Cool look eerily like a bunch of pictures of Slender Man. Reminds me of the end of TTA's Advocate, so it could be intentional.

Does anyone have a screencap of Slendy in the crowd? I'm having a hard time spotting him.

 		So when I said Slendy was "very obviously" in the crowd...I meant "perhaps" or "not at all".

I think that's just a telephone pole.

Embarassed

I'm an idiot.

 		I think a telephone pole would be noticeably more colorful on the side facing the fire. Razz I think the video even goes up close to it, too.

Also looks like it has a black jacket on over slacks/dark denim....like a blazer.

Also looks like it has a shoulderblade bump on the back there.

I want to know who is contact is, actually. Up until this point, we've never heard of him having any contacts whatsoever.

Then again, it IS Jay we're talking about here.

This completely looked like a tree to me at first, but the more I look at it, I'm starting to question it.

Also, I know that this isn't really going to yield anything, but I'm curious - can anyone make out the writing on this? Assuming the bottom two words are "Fire Department", it looks like "C_____________ California" to me. I don't have time to play around with it in Photoshop or I would; I'm leaving in 10 mins. But if we can get the city, we might be able to Google the actual fire and see when it happened. While this wouldn't really give any vital information, I'd like to know exactly how it was done; that would help me understand what I'm seeing.





Edit: Regarding the post above me, this is something that I had noticed, but hadn't really clicked with me. Does this mean Jay knows who Masky or TTA is? Probably not. Probably just one of his friends. We don't know if he's been burning bridges like Alex did, but I consider it less likely for some reason.

 		This is pretty freaky, yeah.

Finding out the original fire could help us narrow out what has been added by MH (Slendy?) and what's merely a trick of the camera.

Also; am I the only way who's seeing Slendy within the fire itself, even if it's a bit obvious? Of course, this assumes that it isn't Slendy in the crowd crying over his lost twenty dollars.

Which, put together with his "anonymous tip" about the house, I find a little fishy. Who is this person giving him tip-offs?

Thanks for the cap, really describes what I think some people where missing.
