Er... on-topic speculations. >.>;

The TV: The *thump thump, thump thump* sounding like a heartbeat may be coincidence. Older CRT TVs make popping noises when they turn on/off, and this one was doing it as fast as a CRT can with a remote. The real question is why was it on in the first place, and was it making that noise all night? Remember, the chest-cam was running before he woke up, so there's all that footage (and the ones from the "watch-you-sleep" cam) that hasn't been explored yet. If this starts the same time he wakes up, there's more to it that leans toward paranormal slendy-shenanigans. A test of the TV to see if it would still have the same problems if he turned it back on would have been nice, but oh well. I was half concerned that might be the end of a tape or something, but it doesn't make sense for it to be that. Doesn't mean that the distortion or spookyness surrounding a tape in there couldn't have broken the TV, but it shouldn't make a difference to the immediate investigation until Jay says "Oh, btw found this tape in the TV. Let's watch!"

The rest of the tape does appear to be pretty straight forward, but I can't help but think that the place where he went to film (where the fence was) is going to come back and be important. Seems like a random place to stop and film... and maybe that's all it was. Or perhaps it was something in Jay's subconscious that was trying to remind him of where he'd been or what he'd been running from. Just a thought, no credence or substance to it yet.

Indeed. Especially the popping; CRT was the term I was looking for earlier, actually, I'm glad you cleared that up.

Moving on to the chest-cam, how much film can a camera tape really hold? A digital camera, even? How many continuous hours of footage can it store, and, if it was turned on and left to run all night, would it really remain recording by the time he woke up?

So much to speculate on.

I'll save further questions for the next entry. There's just too much unanswered for formulating.

Not to mention, he drives way out to the middle of Assclown, Alabama, with the harness gear chugging right along at full capacity, and then goes back to the hotel.

He may have turned it on just moments before getting into the bed and snapping out of his trance, or perhaps it was activated by remote, synchronized to turn on the EXACT moment his trance wore off. The amount of conjecture I'm coming up with is astounding and infuriating, because none of it means anything at this point |:{ NEED MOAR

dv tapes hold about an hour of footage, iirc, which is what alex was using. it's why there were so many, and why he set his watch to go off when he needed to put a new one in.

if jay is using tapes then i don't think there's a way he could have gotten the whole night on film without waking up periodically to change the tapes in the chest cam- the larger camera on the stand looks like it can hold larger tapes, meaning more recording time.

ofc, if he's using SD cards then i would imagine that there's a great deal more recording time available.

Makdee made a beautiful transcript two pages back, see if you can find something to pick apart in that

Failing to read a terms of service does not nullify it. It's the same as signing a contract you didn't read; You clicked the check box, and they have proof. You can't prove otherwise, metaphorically or legally.

Seems we are getting off-topic.

AAAAAAND WE'RE BACK IN THE ROOM!

What do we reckon has happened to Alex and his lovely lady companion then?
