I think the real point of contention is the height, if we knew how tall Jay's car was, we could really see if he was unnaturally tall or not. I know for a fact that at 5'7" I have to bend quite a bit to get a look in the back of some compact cars, someone at the perfectly natural 6'0" would have to bend quite a bit.

As for why I think it might not be him: For one, to me he moves like he's tiptoeing, inch. Stop. Inch. Stop. It's not unnatural, it looks like someone trying to calculate each move to be silent. Second, when he bends over at roughly 2:30 until he stands up at 2:35, he sways left and right a little, like he's trying to get a good angle. The Operator doesn't seem like he'd be trying to peer in to get a good look, he's more of a looming fellow, he'd probably look in with very little motion. I doubt he'd try to sway for a good angle (given things like when he snuck into Alex's room, he was rather rigid about it), he'd bend, stand, move.

I suppose it could simply be an argument caused by a rather spectacular special effects failure, however.

I agree. We can try to convince each other till we're slender blue in the face, but I don't think we can be 100% sure. It's hard to make a definite statement one way or the other.

night everyone, sllee pno.w


Well you are going to sllee pno.w so maybe you'll see this in the morning, but here is my challenge to everyone who doesn't think this is Slendy. Give us one other person you think it could be, and a VISUAL clue in regards to why it could be them. Because when those of us in favor of it being Slendy can cite the height, limp left arm, potential suit and tie, and the strangeness at which he went about looking in the car, if you want to argue a counter point, you had damn well better have some evidence.


height- jay's car isn't very tall.
jay's car is on the left: http://img43.imageshack.us/i/mh1dg.jpg/ (yeah bad picture but i'm tired.) as you can tell jay's car is at about the height of his chestcam, and jay isn't necessarily a very tall fellow. (source- entry 27)

who it could be- my money here is on TTA
Though little to nothing can be seen about the person, it does seem that he's filming (oh my gosh i wish i knew how to make a gif right now). 2:32-2:37 is where i'm talking about. i was able to get this screengrab

http://img859.imageshack.us/i/mh2.jpg/

where there seems to be a little glint of light that seemingly comes out of nowhere. i'm thinking it's the LCD screen on TTA's video camera.

would this evidence fly in a court of law? not a chance. is it even solid evidence? no way. but i'd argue it's just as solid as whatever evidence we have it being slenderman. we just can't tell. if i'd hazard a guess, i'd say we aren't really supposed to tell.

my point is, lets not jump to conclusions so quickly. i do believe it's TTA, but i'm not going to dismiss everyone else as foolish.[/img]

Except none of that is true. I'm right and you're wrong. I can be contradictory too. Either way the only thing any of us can do is assume. We don't have any reference for height because we don't know how tall the vehicle is. We can't say for sure that he's wearing a suit seeing as the pictures blurry. We can't use his movement as an argument as we've seen slendy move both naturally and unaturally.

Point is we can't know 100% who it was, so arguing absolutes will get us nowhere.

People are just fighting it man. Unless Yao Ming got a job as a night security guy at this park while his ankle heals, it's Slendy.


Anyone know the make and model of J's car? We can use the height of that to see how tall our blurry friend is. Question


Actually we can just use that shot of J standing outside the car as a comparison. Both of their heads are taller than the window, but J's is right at the neckline, while this guy has to hunch to even get it to his neckline.


So how tall is Jay then?

SPEC/counterpoints. "i do believe it's TTA"


Thank you for at least contributing a counter theory as opposed to OMGZ NOT SLENDY. And while I don't think you're right, not a bad idea with the LCD screen. Now I can respectfully disagree with you. But I'm gonna continue being an ass to everyone else.

To me the light is a phone, seems to have one arm around the face, might be checking in, informing someone where he is.

I'm in the skeptical of it being the Operator.

Mostly because every single one of his appearances is accompanied by visual tearing, though visual tearing doesn't necessarily indicate his appearance (On camera, at any rate). I'll concede that there is some blurriness and some minor distortion, however, that very much appears to be the distortion that's characteristic of Jessica/Mask than the Operator. Not saying that it's either one of those, just that it's not distortion that's characteristic of the Operator.

Visually, yea, it does look like the Operator in certain respects, but I think it's more sensible to go off off what we've seen in the previous 38 entries than a blurry picture.

I just want to remind everyone of something I posted a couple pages back, but it got lost in this Slendy or not argument. Take it for what it's worth but there is audio distortion when he closes the trunk.

Just gonna jump in here and point out, whenever there's been a Slender man sighting, there's usually heavy distortion of some type. There wasn't one with this one. No screen flickering, no nothing.

I mean, there was that one entry where we saw Slender man out of Alex's front window (I think? It was early season 1 (*EDIT*: Along with most of early season one lacking distortion)), but the audio was gone... etc.

Hate to say it, but I doubt it's Slender Man. A guy who's six feet would have to bend down that much for Jay's car. Jay looks short-ish. Thus... He'd probably have a short man car? I'unno.

I'm not with the "omfg it's slender man!!!" theory. Besides, rewatching it... I don't see the tie or blank face at all. I actually thought it a guy with hair. For all we know, it could be Tim. I mean. Dude got his leg broken, he would be inching along and kinda trying to be quiet.

yeah, gonna go run and hide now.

Jay's car (no weight) is 57.7" tall. I have the same car, so I looked up the specs. Smile

However moments later when he's shuffling around there's absolutely none.

This is my first time posting, so hopefully I get this right.

I don't think this has been brought up yet, but I noticed while going through the entry that whoever it is that peers into Jay's car (I'm going with the Operator, but it's sort of irrelevant to this is particular) seems to be holding one of its arms to its stomach/torso. You can clearly see its left arm as it bends over and straightens, but the right arm isn't visible, though it seems like the end of an elbow is (sudden thought - maybe this is the bent arm referred to earlier?)

To me it generates a couple of different possibilities: one of them is that whoever it is could be clutching the arm to their stomach, perhaps in pain (?) - this seems more likely since whoever it is turns and walks off without straightening first, so it seems hunched over; the other is that the combination of arm bent at stomach and bending over produces a bowing effect (though anyone other than the fanbase bowing to Jay in deference seems unlikely). It didn't seem to me like it was holding anything.

Maybe I'm completely off, but it didn't seem like something that had been looked at yet.

Skipped a page or two, but my 2 cents are needed: Not Jessica. Unless she shaved her head during the 7 months.

As for whether it's our tall friend with a penchant for suits and stalking, I lean more towards someone filming Jay. Mostly because that's an angle i'd like to see pan out, and that it looked like he was holding a camera or something up to the face in his/its right hand.

Obviously a good chunk of this is directed at me, and perhaps I should apologize for being so definite or coming off as rude. My bad, the new Entry just got me jazzed and it's always good to see The Operator.


sorry, that wasn't really directed about what anyone said in general, i just kind of grabbed what i had just read.

But that can't be confirmed as audio distortion, it can easily be caused by the rush of air in and out of his car as he closed his trunk.

In the end, were just going to have to wait for the response or follow up entry to get any hope of closure.
