 		Not sure if this was said or not (because I really didn't want to read through all 25 pages of this thread), but hoody does in fact cause some audio distortion as he steps in view of the camera. The majority of people (my self included) believe that hoody is in fact totheark, which makes the most sense since it's been leading up to his appearance and the fact that it's so late in the series to create a bran new character.

Now this could be evidence to help prove that Alex is not totheark. If you refer back to entry 26, entry 35 and entry 38, the camera is pointed directly at Alex at certain times an no distortion is heard what so ever. So this means that Alex couldn't be the hooded figure.

My guess is that it's Brian since he's had some sort of connection to the slender man. Alex never seemed to cause distortion to the camera no matter how much the slender man was in his life.

Good point! When I heard the distortion when Tonberry was in frame, I honestly didn't think much of it. Due to the weirdness of the character in general, the distortion was expected and so I sort of took it for granted.

I don't want to speculate too much, but that's a pretty cool point.

I used to wonder if exposure to the Operator had a sort of 'creeping distortion' effect on people. I figured, if it were something that could jump around through time and space, being near it might cause a sort of radiation poisoning. I used that idea to explain the whole coughing fits, memory loss, causing electronics to go on the fritz, etc. as I watched MH.

But you're right, that wouldn't explain Alex's seeming lack of distortion.

HmMMmMMmmmm... I dig that idea.

That said, is anyone able to make a list of people who we know cause or have caused distortion in videos?

I'd do it myself, but I'm at work >_>

The Operator
Masky

Jessica
J (Looking at self in mirror in 27)
Hooded Guy (Only in front of camera)

We see him running away, we don't actually know that he got away. (Remember, the Operator can move pretty fast when he wants to.)

Actually, to me the very fact that Jay didn't get back to the car before the Gimp did - despite the 15 minute gap, despite the Gimp ambling along at a sedate pace enjoying the scenery and taking in some nature - strongly suggests to me that Jay didn't get away. Sure, we know he survives. But the consequences of being caught by Slendy don't necessarily involve death or physical mutilation.

Not only that, but if the Operator really wanted to catch someone, I doubt running would help. I'm leaning towards Jay being caught, buuut not too sure what happened afterwards (besides, as you said, surviving).

A tea party? Maybe Slendy's just lonely.

While him being caught by Slendy would be really interesting, we also have to remember that Jay isn't the brightest bulb in the box. He might have just gotten lost. (But I still hope he got caught XD)

I think running in a blind panic doesn't help one's navigation skills much either.

 		The reason I don't think Jay got lost is that TTA isn't hurrying at all. If Jay were lost TTA couldn't predict how long he'd take to get back to his car and would have probably rushed to go get the camera in place. But he doesn't do that.

I'm guessing the reason TTA isn't hurrying is that he saw the Operator catch Jay, and therefore is fully aware that Jay isn't going to be going anywhere for a bit.

it's not necessarily TTA, but i agree with everything else. blasky had to have known what happened to jay, whether it was a fate at the hands of the operator, meeting up with alex, getting chloroformed by tim, meeting some chick that calls herself jessica, or brian wanted jay to come with him to the store to get some snacks or something.

I don't notice Jay causing distortion at that point, I notice vague buzzing but that's hardly distortion. Also there's audio distortion in this entry before Skimaski appears on camera, and Tim's caused distortion other times since he's Masky, but also in Entry #35 after being unmasked he continues to cause distortion, but I'm nitpicking.

Also it's slightly possible Skully is causing the distortion in those 3 seconds of footage from Entry #26, but that's also completely unconfirmed so I'll ignore that for now.

I'm pretty sure Brian is just gonna show up eventually and be like, "Hey, Jay, you wanted the sour cream and onion chips, right? Or were those for Alex?"

 		TTA Response, intermission.
A doodle of a character with strange face, a robber's mask maybe?

Jay says - there was about 15 minutes of nothing until the picture comes back between entry 40 and 41... some sort of intermission?

>something happened during this intermission, involving the hooded man?

For that matter, how did TTA get into the car in the first place? Unless Jay left his car unlocked, which strikes me as strange given his tendency to attract strange masked men.


been discussed that jay has been known to not be the brightest. he could have either forgotten or left the car open if he needed to make a quick escape. also, he never locked his car in entry 40. it cuts out as he's walking away from his car, but we never do see it.


If it was to make a quick escape, why didn't he do that? He ran in to the Operator, and got away. You'd think he'd run to the car and drive off, unless he ran into someone (maybe Alex?).


exactly. that's another item we should take away from this entry. 1. there's a new unknown. probably someone we know already. and 2. jay would have run back to his car. something's happened to him. and if blasky happens to be jay, something obviously happened to him to make him suddenly don a yellow hood, black mask, and hide his identity from the camera.


Can I take a stab in the dark and say The Operator?


Does anyone find it a bit strange that if The Operator did happen to give Jay a change of outfit, that he also now emits an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse for those who didn't know). Maybe being near the Operator gives off a form of radiation, which makes you emit one for a little while too? Perhaps that would explain why Jessica was emiting one and why Timasky always emits one?

 		I dont know about Jay being captured or anything like that, even though it is quite possible. I think that he was so overwhelmed with fear that he took off in a random direction into the forest, getting himself lost for a slight period of time. That was my first thought anyway.

Either that or the slender man was chasing him and hoody took the advantage of the distraction and was like, "Hmmmm...I guess I'll surprise him with this when he gets back to the car."
