I do think there's more to that childhood fire - another Centralia 4 parallel - but I hadn't thought of it being an entry point for timefuckery. Besides, if we go down that road, the kids would've been our gang's age by 1981. Now Jeff's school appears to actually exist, so maybe they repeated the same/similar trauma in the present...I don't know.

The Centralia 4 succumbed apparently at or around EMH'S age. They were traumatized by an incident with fire.

Jeff was tramatized by fire. He and the others are now roughly the age the Fairmount kids were in '81.

And both Fairmount and the Baldpate Mountain park are full of acres of former farmland.

...what happened to Farmount again?


There's not a lot of reliable information on the Children's home. I found this via googling: http://www.forgottenoh.com/Counties/Stark/fairmount.html Supposedly haunted, burned down in the 1990's.

Here's a PDF of an article about the fire. According to that article it closed in 1973. Probably safe to assume that the Corenthals adopted the Mining Town Four as a result of the institution closing.

There's also this, the cemetery associated with the home.

Right, forgot about that. There's always a catch.

Ninja'd on my response to qaqa, but I'll keep this bit:

A couple of people have mentioned that the Mining Town Four would've been our Hybrids' age when the 1981 letter was written. I'd been of the impression that they were preschoolers when the 1971 reports were written, putting them in their early teens in 1981. Is there some reason to believe they were older?

Well, the Vincent transcript doesn't read like a preschooler to me. Nor does the report on Evan.

Well, if the MT4 were in the area of 5-6 years old (as they would be, since they could communicate coherently) they would have been 15/16 when they "succumbed" ten years later. For me, that places a buffer between "succumbing" and the present time, where Slender Man could have manipulated space, time, and their memories to his heart's content.

Of course, they could have ranged from anywhere from 5 to 9 years old.

IMO - and watch this high-flying bullshit get shot down when they answer my letter - the Fairmount kids could not have been younger than 5 when they were institutionalized. Now if timefuckery were somehow involved I'm not saying they went directly from 1981 to shortly before the first video. They could've touched down in the last five years.

I think my Fairmount/school tree is dead unless we're willing to believe Jeff dragged Vinnie and Evan all the way to Ohio so they could share the delusion that they were in their old school in NJ. And even I can't go that bugshit.

ETA- My entire theory may be fucked though, given the school's existence. Jeff couldn't've been older than like 12 for that fire. So either they didn't arrive here at the same age they succumbed, or I told Jeff something reasonable and they are not the same kids- at least, not time-slipped.

@re: Mysterious audio

I will accept that the "slasher movie" interpretation is correct. Mostly because I have less then perfect hearing, and English isn't a first language for me. I must ask, are there any dissenting voices? Does anyone hear anything other?

Given that, what does that tell us about the video? That Greenfeathers is dead? That his home has been invaded?

Actually, I seem to remember the box heavily freaking out his wife, and odd occurrences following him afterward. Has this been a months long set-up, then?

@re: temporal madness

What does the connection between the children's home fire and Jeff's memory do to the recurrence theory? What if events are repeating?

Also, a observation. 1971 and 1981 are important years, correct? 1991 is supposed to be the birth year for Vince and Jeff. EMH is likely to have either the endgame or, at least, important developments in 2011. The question is, did something interesting happen in 2001? The school fire, perhaps?

I think that may have been FlyingWarhorse, but I'm not sure.

You are right. I misremembered. Good news, really. This makes matter that much less creepy. Smile

Yeah, that was Warhorse. I believe GreenFeathers said he was around the guy's age, so a bit too young to be married.

...But anyway. I'm unsurprised if this is IG- he's had communication with the guys and we haven't heard every little detail from it. They could have talked to him OOG. In fact, it's possible the meet-up was to in fact secure side players in their game- along with the Trials, amp up it seeming like an actual ARG by having people who had just shown up as fans become a part of it. They had only one guy come, but still that's enough to get us talking.

Well. If it's IG, they did sorta spring that meetup on us pretty quickly. I think they knew/banking on few people to show up. So (again, if this is IG) they probably already had GF setup as a player or appoached him at that point to be a player.

I must say though, it'd be pretty awesome if weird shit started happening to everyone who has had interaction with the players.

How would you define "has had interaction"?

See, the thing is, if GF is IG, then they've opened the door to gamejacks.
