I'm gussing that Hoodie delievered the camera BEFORE Alex came to the park. Then Hoodie (if it IS him) sat by the tree to watch Jay find the camera.

This means that Alex is NOT Hoodie, even though there MIGHT be something in his backseat, it isn't him, IF the one by the tree is Hoodie.

It looks like the Hooded person is looking down or away, so IF he was still wearing, Alex wouldn't be able to see from there.

Alex seems like a jerk, because he is worried! He has lost his girlfriend and the only one who could help him is now inside the woods. I just guess he was scared that Jay also would be missing. When I worry I can also seem angry, so it's pretty normal!

But i seriously recommend watching these videos in HD, specifically this entry, you see SittinUnderTree(SUT) and the backseat jacket much more clearly.

But I think that way Alex acts is perfectly natural. Here Jay is talking about seeing "Him" and then saying that he dropped the camera. I'd be pissed too.

Thinking about the logistics, something doesn't add up. 15 min of nothing, followed by hoodie taking it two miles at a rather leisurely pace, beats Jay and has time to wait for Alex. Alex shows up, Jay still hasn't exited. This is all fine and dandy if Jay is just lost, but when we first see him he is still booking it.

Based on that, I think there might have been another slendy encounter, or that slendy was somehow chasing Jay, because he couldn't have been running like that for a significant amount of time and still made no progress, even with Jay's apparent level of intelligence.

Please forgive me if I sound like a noob, since I am. Anywho...

Agreed. Both in this entry and 26, Alex does not panic about Slendy's appearance. Why? Has he just become a genre-savvy victim, i.e. freaking out helps nothing, just calm down and think; and/or does he know something that makes him less afraid of Slendy?

In both entries, he's unnerved by a camera instead. Does it seem like he thinks that The Operator is not as dangerous as tapes of him are?

Sorry if this is "duh" post.

This makes sense. There must be something that had stopped Jay for a while, and it was probably Slende- I mean the Operator.

Sorry for the doublepost, but I agree. Alex seems to be freaking out about the tapes more than the Operator.

here's my two cents

1) if you put it on 720p and full screen, the person sitting by the tree is 110% wearing a tan hoodie. it's clear as day to me when i view it on my hdtv. considering blasky put the tape pointing towards the field, then walked in that direction the tree is in, i'm going with it's him. even if you don't want to believe that it's a hoodie, no random person is going to wear long sleeves in early june and sit under a tree in an isolated area like that. even then, alex could have chose just to not point the camera in that direction, but he did.

2) alex is wearing the chest camera in this video, near the end you can see him wave both hands at jay when jay says something along the lines of "no more looking today" - meaning entry 29 is alex running, or that alex gave jay the chestcam before departing/getting kidnapped. however in entry 29, it's important to realize that the person is wearing the chestcam AND operating a handheld camera, probably in case one gets broken. i'm guessing the rest of the footage from entry 29 is on the other non-chest camera.

3) we can't exactly base theories on which cars were in the parking lot at the time due to filming times being on different days for the two entries. in entry 41 there were at least 2-3 more cars in the lot.

4) blasky had to be looking for jay in the woods. he saw the camera and somehow knew that the car outside of the forest was the owner of the cameras. i don't think he was following slendy, otherwise it wouldn't have taken him 15 minutes to find jays camera. i think it's a decent assumption that blasky = totheark, b/c nobody would be that far in the forest stalking jay. as far as how he got out faster than jay, it's as simple as jay getting lost being a few miles in, and blasky knowing his way around.



now for my theory (it's a longshot)

jessica is totheark/blasky. having lived near rosswood, she knew her way around. originally jay/alex had two seperate rooms in the hotel (seen by the one bed in each room.) she's using chloroform to have people black out. when we heard banging in her room that night, it was alex kicking the door from inside the closet trying to get out after she locked him in. before answering her door, she chloroforms him and thats why the noise stops. when jay says he's ready to leave with her, jessica escapes fearing that jay is too close. again, a longshot, but the banging/alex talking about checking into a hotel is what leads me to believe this.

Food for thought, he's freaked out by cameras more, but in entry 29, Alex? has both the chest cam and the regular camera, perhaps he was trying to make the operator appear? Maybe even to find Amy?

There's an interesting point. Does the use of a camera act as a "lure" to The Operator? And, if that's true, to what point and purpose, sir? It could be to find Amy...but if so, I wonder what the plan is when The Operator appears. I suppose that's the whole point. If Alex can lure The Operator to him, he may have a plan to disable him somehow.

and is there a place we can ask jay questions? i want to know what imprint those pills have, i fail to believe they're basic ibuprofen. i'm going through pill identifier now for orange/capsule shaped pills that can be obtained over-the-counter.

i found this while using that

http://www.drugs.com/risperdal.html

same shape and color, fits into the storyline quite nicely

and i don't think the camera is what draws the operator in. alex encountered him without a camera in entry 2, and jay has lost a camera or two and gotten a new one and still seen him.

i knew it! there is no orange-capsule shaped pill for ibuprofen according to that site. the site said there was only one orange-capsule shaped pill with a certain imprint on it, but when i looked it up in google images the pill was more red than orange, deff not the same pill that jay has in his bag.

Hmm, nice catch! Could be. It could be ibuprofen though. I take (generic) ibuprofen all the time, and it does come in orange pills of that shape.

I'm wondering specifically if the camera is one thing that draws him, but not the only thing.

idk if the camera is magical

i mean... i hope not. i enjoy that the story is that they accidently caught this creature on film and now it's appearing more and more to them. although i like to believe that he was drawn to alex before that (entry 2)
