I disagree. I think a big part of it was to reinforce that this "is no longer a game" It certainly did that. Also, Jay said that TTA posted Entry ###### which confirms that, whereas before, even though it had all the signs of a TTA video, it wasn't a definite. Before, I was in denial that Masky was TTA, but now I think it is. As far as we've seen, Masky has no problem getting into places he shouldnt, so we know Masky had the capability to post the video. Jay saying TTA posted the video pretty much puts them both at the scene of the crime.

I will say, at least it looks like we got a few Slendy sightings. I'm still trying to figure out the scale in the pan shot, because it looks like that could be Slendy from :30-:40ish outside pushing that thing down, but the audio flipping out when it focuses more on the window tells me that he's in that room the entire time (as outlined already).

Also, just past the minute mark, that looks like Slendy standing in the crowd (the video also tears at about 1:08 too when it passes him).

Also, the news footage looks edited. From 1:36 - 1:40, you can see the reporter talking. Behind her is a person in a white shirt walking. If you look closely, his stride changes speed and slows down a bit... You can also see the reporter's lips out of sync...the whole video seemed to slow down at the end.

Jay possibly acknowledges this in his twitter message, "Note: The report itself seemed to have some sort of technical difficulties at the end. Unsure what caused it. Don't want to think about it." But, how sure are we that it was the news report and not him? Shocked


I noticed the lips out of sync, i didn't notice the persons stride change. Is it possible that there's something in that shot that we are supposed to see because it's slowed down?

You can't really see a definite shape, unless someone would like to enhance the image and prove me wrong. I does not has photoshop skilz Sad

I tried enhancing it by messing with the brightness and contrast, but the image is too shaky, too far away, and too blurry to get anything sharper or clearer...it's nothing worth uploading. If anything, you can maybe see a head and a neck...

This. Except I really don't think Slendy is anywhere in this Entry. It's old news footage, not an original MH Entry.

I dunno, I kind of thought it was no longer a game well before now, kind of like Masky tackling Jay and infiltrating his apartment and his last threat in #####. I'm sure there's more examples, but I'm tired. All this really says is that things can get violent, which we've already assumed from Slender Man mythos.

So you got some kind of confirmation on speculation by speculating more about it... what I mean is, Masky/TTA being different people is complete speculation. Jay may just be assuming that TTA posted it, he doesn't exactly have a name for Masky or even acknowledge him freely as opposed to TTA. Also, don't you think he'd have surveillance footage if Masky did in fact break in? One of them could have hacked his account. All boring speculation.

I stand by this video being pointless filler. I wouldn't mind if this were the only filler we were getting, but from Jay we haven't gotten anything other than him finally getting the sense to get the hell out via Twitter for two months now.

but he doesnt need the tapes anymore since he put them on youtube now......Mind Blown even more Shocked


Wait. If Alex wanted to burn the tapes to get away from Slenderman, and Jay put all the tapes on youtube...

Oh god, Jay. What have you done?


well he diddnt put them all on youtube (well that we know of). Then again, we could speculate about why alex wanted the tapes burned until the sun comes up.

I understand the idea, but the execution fails here...

It's pretty clear J's apartment from the "masky in the room" video is on the first floor, not the third unless Masky can float.

I think we're just looking for things to move, and there is really nothing in the window.

I'm going off of obvious visible cues (tall, lanky beings) and consistent effect cues (the tearing/audio effects that have consistently happened since Entry #1 when Slendy appears).

This isn't pure speculation on actions by characters such as "lol there's a fire, Alex must be involved based on something he said reported in the introduction". It's just "oh, hey, that looks like it could be Slendy based on what I'm seeing right in front of me".

wild speculation, but another suspect could be jay himself. dunno if he's been having sleep troubles still, but totheark said control was being taken from him. we could have a fight club type of "accident" going on here.

I watched it over a few times; whoever or whatever the person by the door between :30 - :40 is, it's tall as hell, taller than the door frame. And skinny, way too skinny to be a fireman. I've seen firemen who wear black uniforms, but they're bulky, and that would have to be the tallest goddamn firefighter I've ever seen. And speaking of the door, I do believe that this person literally ripped the door out and tossed it, or something that was blocking the door. It just kind of goes flying.

Im siding closer to slendy doing the deed. Visual tearing is known to be an indication that he's near and him setting fire to a victims home/mang hang out is part of his original mythos

also i cant halp but feel we're having this conversation on two threads

I'm not necessarily saying it's Slendy, but if it is... yeah, not going to sleep well tonight knowing he can rip my door off of its hinges and come barging in.
