You gotta admit something, they either have the resources to film in a Hotel (rooms are usually pricey), or they have friends who run it.


The whole interaction with Jessica was.....weird to say the least. She was so adamant about finding out what exactly J was doing.

But seriously, Jessica? As if I didn't have enough J names to keep track of already... Rolling Eyes


Who else is there, Jalex? Jenderman?


Jessa, Jessie, and Jeff (who twetts as 'J') from EMH.
Oh, and there's also another Alex.

They may have filmed all of this ahead of time, making it possible to get all the hotel footage they needed in one day. I know they filmed things as they came up in the past, but you never know.

Man, I hope we get a TTA response to this one. It seems fitting.

Does anyone want to go check entry 23 to see what the pills in the house looked like? I know he zoomed in on one of them in that entry, but I'm not sure if they're the same as the ones J has

Even when the person has a camera strapped to their chest.

I hope so.

The pills in S1 were white instead of red/orange.

So...does no one remember 2:34 to 2:36 of Entry #26? Y'know, where you see a Masky through what appears to be the peephole of a hotel door? Seems like an awfully big coincidence. Maybe Jay was retracing Alex's footsteps.

Jessica is pretty cute. I'd bust into her room late at night to investigate eerie sounds that may or may not be related to confront an eldritch horror of which I have only the vaguest knowledge of.

In regards to the idea that Jessica is Skully wasn't the whole speculation about Skully being a lady based on the possible appearance of long, blonde hair in the image? If so, then we're drawing an unsupported conclusion with Jessica = Skully, simply because there's a proponent of people who believe that Skully is female, which itself is based on really shaky evidence. It'd be cool, but it's doubly unlikely: Skully may not have been female at all, and even if she was, she was a blonde female, not a brunette.

As for Jessica and Jay having memory-lossed it up together, that'd be rad. Very Happy A pre-exsisting character relationship that neither of them remembers seems just ripe for all kinds of interesting character development.

Also, it seems to make some sense, though it would suggest that Jay wasn't totally absent from his own head during the time he's lost. I mean, if he was Maskying it up all silent-and-creeper like, he probably wouldn't have told Jessica his name, but if he was in control of his faculties he probably would have. UNLESS the mask doesn't mean that someone's mind is gone while they're wearing it, which myself I've always preferred!

Or perhaps Jessica hasn't been memorylossing it up. Here's a theory: Jessica knows Alex in his new, Operator-free life, and at some point Alex mentioned Jay. Jay somehow found out about the connection and, in trying to hunt Alex down, found his way to Jessica -- but hadn't contacted her even though she was next door for some unknown reason. Though that doesn't seem to hold much water with the very question-inducing presence of the weird midnight noises...

Also, JESUS JAY WAY TO BE AWKWARD. Easy way around awkward questions about what you're doing with a camera: "Art project"

And omg, well played. I was all like "mystery pills.. OH MY GOD PILLS AND THEY'RE WEIRDLY COLORED!!... OH. Ibuprofen."

Actually I think her curiosity seems totally legit. I'd be pretty curious if I found out that someone was filming me, too, even incidentally... if only because it IS pretty weird behavior from someone who doesn't LOOK like a crazy hobo.

Hi! I'm new here, but I just had to sign up as I have theory on that code

0831, or 0830

the time on his alarm clock when he woke up in 27

that or it may have something to do with the 26 in the twitpic with masky?

anywho, hi! hope we can all be friends! Very Happy

Welcome to the social, then, mate.

I actually posted those near the end of the third page, I think. Thanks for the input. Means more than one person thinks the theory is legit.

The distorted noises at the end of the tape... possible morse code? I will investigate and post with findings soon.

Now for theories:
The girl, ha, called it- I knew she would be involved! Jessica, I will have to agree with G.I.R on this one, her questions seemed sort of passively forceful to me. That doesn't mean she's antagonistic- if it turns out the noises are morse than maybe she's trying to tell him something? Again, I'm going to analyze after this post.

The safe. Not sure what the possible code could be, I think we'll need TTA for this one, or maybe Jessica. Possible red herring for now though.

The key. Other than unlocking something, no idea.

brb morse

Ahhh, awesome! Very Happy I'm glad that the girl didn't turn out to be a random passerby! (And, lol, that's the second Jessica in Slenderbloggery... Jawesome!)

I loved how they played up the pills being important. You just know that everyone leaned forward in their seats to try to see what the pills were, and then... augh, pain peelz! XD They played that well!

KEY is interesting. That'd better not wind up being the bullet casing of this season, man -- I mean, I'm sure it won't be, but dropping these random items without explanation is maddening! Perhaps it's the key to Alex's place? I don't know... it looks very much like a house key to me.

The safe -- either we're going to get a TTA entry with clues, or whomever said that '8:31 is a weird time for the alarm to go off' has a point. I'm sure that people will be inundating the MH inbox with suggestions, so I'm not going to bother to drop more crap on them to have to read when it's just numbers... but I don't remember anything else number-specific besides the dates that we have been finding TTA posting. I doubt that they would be from his earlier responses; using a number twice would not really make sense? (YAMA as a number solution makes me giggle, though!)

As for Jessica, I don't find her antagonistic or suspicious necessarily. I suppose she could be there to spy on him, but I like the idea that she gets caught up along for the ride as an ally. Hell, maybe she's got brain erasure as well for whatever reason, so she's lurking around Jay trying to figure out exactly what's going on just like he is.

For the banging noises in the room at night, whatever they are, they seem to have caused some video distortion towards the end, or else that was just a coincidence. I honestly can't figure out what it might be. O_O


And on a last note: MH CREW IF YOU ARE READING THIS I LOVE YOU SO! Thank you for uploading this earlier than usual! It means I get a chance to watch and squee without sacrificing sleeping hours for work tomorrow! *noodly arm flail of happiness!*

My theory that I posted when the video came out was loud footsteps, or moving/banging furniture. Maybe even jumping.

That was entirely my reaction to them too. "HOLY SHIT PILLS oh wait it's Ibuprofen. OR IS IT."

Regardless of whether or not Jessica ends up being a distraction, random bystander, someone who followed the series originally, or a fellow masked creeper, I definitely think a previous character-relation that they're unaware of would be a cool plot point. There's so much that can be done with a trope like that.

And I agree, I like to think that the wearer of the mask is in control, rather than deranged. They could totally be some mild-to-not-so-mild psychosis going on, but maybe it's the pills that keep the wearer sane enough to endure?
