I just came up with an interesting theory.

Beind Alex when he's blowing out the candles,there's a pregnant woman behind him. This could be his mother, as usually the parents prefer to be close to their children.

The woman with him while he's unwrapping presents doesn't look pregnant, so they're probably not the same woman.

Either way, main theory: Jessica is Alex's sister if te pregnant woman is Alex's mother, or if not, Jessica was a childhood friend of Alex.

Everybody, obviously there has been a misunderstanding,

Slenderman is probably there to be part of the kick ass party Alex is having XD

Also, does anytone else notice that the man singing with the low voice sounds frighteningly femilliar to our echo/mimic voice in Entry #23?


this is exactly what i was thinking as soon as i heard that low voice singing along.

i really don't know what to think about it. I'm almost sure that whoever it was singing was not there with them, otherwise i think someone would have told him to stop. i didn't think it was too creepy until he started trying to sing "dear alllllleeeexxxxx" and then i was a bit disturbed. i think everyone there would have given whoever it was a strange look he were there.

yet for some reason i don't want to say its slenderman. though the voice was hardly even human, i think that it would be humanizing slenderman a bit much, which is outside what marble hornets has ever portrayed before. i can't decide if its scarier that slenderman was singing along or if it was just some strange distortion of someones voice.

but also because of the low "hello"'s of entry 23 i was sure was slenderman repeating back at jay, and saying it again right before jay encounters him at the end. which is what almost makes me want to believer that the operator is the one singing.

but as a sidenote, thanks MH, this is the first entry in a long time that has actually kept me up at night since i first started watching this series last summer(i'll admit, i actually thought this was real for about a month). I had to go downstairs lastnight to get something to drink after everyone else fell asleep and it was a complete deja vu of last summer when i seriously felt like i was being followed in my own house. and i did feel like there was something following me down and up those stairs.

Indeed, very true, exhaustive studies have shown that parents often do like to be close to their children. Funny that.

The "creepy singing" is because the entire clip is slowed down. The mom's voice sounds creepy and slow too.

I don't think the tempo was changed, just the pitch.

Theory?

Ok, i think this video was not uploaded by totheark, but by jay himself and i think it's kind of obvious that Jay uploaded this,

think back to the twitter post on the 22nd, his writing becomes distorted and he cant remember his password, could it be that slenderman does not want him to post what ever he was going to post (the real entry 37 given that this isn't what Jay found)

assuming this is not the real entry 37 then why would slenderman want this posted?

I meant being RIGHT there during birthday parties or special events. Poor choice of words.

I personally believe that this file was probably not on a physical tape or vhs (obviously it had to start on one) but was rather either put directly on Jay's computer by TTA or it was from the hard drive. This would explain the operator symbol popping up and personally I think the low singing may have been added by whoever had this footage as a taunt.

Also after Alex blew out the candles and slendy popped up you can hear a kid say "woah awesome man!". I guess he was impressed by slendy's candle dance

Maybe I'm just seeing things, but when woman goes to pick something off the ground, do you any of you see a black figure in the background?

EDIT: I keep seeing things. The window at :36 looks like there is a head outside.

EDIT: If that is in-fact someone (and trying to sound as logical as possible) maybe that's the shadowy figure in the background I mentioned earlier.

EDIT: After watching it multiple times, it looks like Slenderman is walking into the house, we see him by the window, and then in the background.

I did some analysis on the "time warp" date list.

A few of these dates stick out:
    1992-01-01 12:00 AM is the start of the upcoming new year relative to the video).
    12/31/1999 11:58 PM is right before the turn of the millennium.
    02/29/1996 4:44 AM is a leap year day.
    06/06/1944 9:99 AM isn't a real time.
    11/12/1993 12:34 AM has a lot of sequential numbers (x1/x2/x3 1234).

Additional notes:
    With two exceptions, every month is used once (October is not used, and June is used twice).
    There are quite a few matching pairs on the day/months: 1/1, 3/3, 4/4, 6/6.
    None of the dates go past 1999.

There is some interesting thematic clumping when you plug in day of the week:

Impressive! Breaking down the numbers makes me wonder if the dates are dates, or if this is some TTA-style code. It's worth noting that, if Zeph is right (on pg 32) and it's 17 May 1908 rather than 1988, that would make it a Sunday.

On the upside, we've learned that we're safe on Mondays...

I was checking the original Slender Man thread on the SomethingAwful forums and I came across a post from Jay(as user Ce Gars) where he gave basically the same explanation of the tapes he gives in the Introduction video but he included one piece of information that ties in with this Entry

"Which struck me as very odd since he had been living around that area since he was eight, and never seemed to have a problem with it."


Here's a screenshot of the post with this bit of information highlighted
<a>Marble hornets post</a>[/img]

So Alex had been living in near the set of Marble Hornets since he was a kid. Not sure what to make of it.


awesome awesome awesome thank you.

This is his 6th birthday. which seems to be that he moved shortly after this. something traumatic happen in alex's childhood we don't know about? it's possible.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
though troy may not have had this much of the story figured out two years ago.

I agree with th early theory that the other kid in that shot looks remarkably like Jay.

Of course, Jay says he and Alex were "college friends," not childhood friends, but Jay didn't remember working on the film either...

i thought it was pretty much agreed upon that the operator wasn't all that interested in jay, the only time him showing up being 29, 23, and that one totheark video, and he never seemed to stalk jay. it was like jay just happened to stumble into him (oh, crazy seeing you here!).

so, with that said, i'm highly doubting that jay is in this video. all the evidence we have to go off is a little kid kind of looks like him. i highly doubt it's him.

OOG:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This may very well be a home movie of Joseph's birthday with Alex's name dubbed onto it, which could mean that the other kid is actually Troy, and thus in game speculation is only furthered.

However, I don't exactly know if Troy and Joseph have known eachother since they were kids. I feel like they said something about how they met in the radio interview, but I'm too lazy to check it.
If it isn't Troy there, it looks like it's most definitely Joseph in the tape.
