Happy Birthday Raven and Mattwan!

Looking at Rhiannon's list, if we're considering a reincarnation/eternal recurrence theory, then everyone on the list from Fairmount should be dead and in their second "life". But the Corenthals are still alive and Linnie is (or was until recently if the dead girl from CCNB is her) still writing letters. If Jessa is supposed to be the reincarnation of Linnie, this throws everything off, since I figure that the reincarnation cycle doesn't start until everyone is dead.

The same flaw would also apply to the parallel universe theory (I think?), since there would be at least three people in both universes.

But since no one knows what the hell is going on in the EMH'verse, I'm probably completely wrong. *shrugs*

There could be more to the story than the Corenthal children. We don't know that they were the only Evan, Jeff and Vince to be stalked and tormented by Slender Man. Maybe this is something that's been playing out over and over again, many times, with the boys being constantly reborn only to eventually be driven into madness and death before they hit 30.

While it's on my mind, some other things that may be worth watching for... I realize they haven't done much that can be confirmed to tie in to Jersey folklore, legends, etc. but there is a possibility of it. (I'm also being mindful of the fact that if you look for something, you're likely to think you found it, when in fact it's just your perspective.)

While the references have been limited, and may be more of a joke or easter egg, Jersey has a bit of a pirate connection, which could relate to Candle Cove, or perhaps Candle Cove was a vague hint at this.
The town of Ringoes, NJ was founded by John Ringoes, who, according to local legends, had some pirate connections or was in fact a pirate himself. Some people insist that he buried a treasure somewhere, and occasionally someone will dig up their back yard in the hopes of finding it.
There are also a couple of legends of ships running into trouble along NJ, one involving a mutiny. These are fairly vague stories, though, that I've only recently come across.

The city of Newark, NJ has a Fairmount neighborhood, but there doesn't seem to be any strange history to that area. It's a fairly common place name, too--Philadelphia has a Fairmount neighborhood, and many other states have towns named Fairmount.

There is, of course, the Jersey Devil...but I think that was proven to be a backward community stumbling onto the Turnpike

I too noticed something I'd forgotten about. In the earlier letters, Corenthal states that HABIT/Evan improved (albeit slowly) once he began a photo diary. Several thoughts come to mind- 1.) are those photos still out there? 2.) this is very similar to what they are doing now, and draws a strange amount of connection to Jeff actually, 3.) perhaps if Evan goes any farther off the edge, we can suggest this same tactic to the boys? Who knows.
*back to lurking.
