Now that the anon has mentioned it, I will say I think there's more to these Animal Collective references as well.

Wow! UNKNOWN has really cracked the case haven't they?

I don't think the guys can time travel. I wonder if Corenthal is alive and well but has some sort of condition where his mind isn't right. Like with alzheimer's the persons mind isn't always in this era. They can get confused and think they're way back to when they're a teenager etc. I'm thinking that if this is the case with Corenthal, that's explain why the letters are dated with huge gaps between the years and could also explain why he talks about Jeff, Vinnie and Evan.

I think Jeff's been in a state of mild to major confusion about this stuff for a little while. (I still haven't given up on the parents thing being part of it - let's not forget, '70s Jeffrey was adopted by the Corenthals.) From what he said on the last Ustream, he reacted instinctively after his dreams of the school fire returned, and sought the place out in hopes of finding more out about Jessa's disappearance - he said he instinctively felt they were connected. Then, he instinctively thought the Corenthal letters were connected. I think it has a lot to do with what's buried in his subconscious.

I think he may have fucked up on what is IG vs. OOG because yes, he didn't question you about how you knew about Corenthal's wife. You should mention the morse code video.

That's incredibly strange. I cant remember him ever mentioning it other places.

Maybe if he only mentioned it, but didn't go into specifics you could go on to say "I wonder why she freaked out when you mentioned HABIT, though."


Or something to that effect.

That would get a "What?" Response form him I'm sure.

[qaqa]

Better yet. Ask him why, if he knows they're not these 40 year old people, did he once think Evan and Vince could be Corenthal's patients?

[Mattwan]

Good job, Rhiannon!

Jeff did talk some about his trip down South in the last ustream, so his acknowledgment of that in his response to you might not indicate anything new about the hidden videos. It is interesting, though.

I think the "friends were patients" could just have been a conversational strategy. Maybe like the old cliche of telling a doctor that "erm, a friend of mine has a problem", or possibly it seemed like it would raise fewer red flags than saying "I ran across a cache of papers about patients with my buds' names from before they were born." If we're not sure Jeff is a reliable narrator for us, there's no reason to believe he'd present himself 100% honestly to Widow Corenthal either.

I don't think someone shows up with that flimsy a conversation strategy, especially when the woman could well see the boy is in his '20s and the old kids should be in their '40s.

However, and this is important, I think. We didn't see all of the encounter with Maryann Corenthal. When we cut back to it she is demanding Jeff leave the premises. I think she may have recognized him, and she may know what he is.
