The way Jay only said "That thing" and alex responded with "That thing is in there?!" I dont know if this means Alex and Jay have spoken about the Operator or if Alex thought Jay meant something completely different. I hope things get cleared up soon Very Happy


You know, I wasn't really sure what to make of that. I think Jay's tone of voice when he said "that thing" made it clear to Alex what he was talking about. But my impression is that they hadn't talked about it before - ever. It's possible that somehow it remained this vague thing they both knew exists but for some reason never explicitly talked about. Actually, that meshes well with the idea that thinking/talking about the Operator summons him. Seriously though. Discussion and clear communication needs to happen if they're going to solve anything, even if it's dangerous.


Keep in mind that Jay and Alex don't actually know what The Operator is called. They both know that there's some weird supernatural thing stalking them, but they don't know what its name is or what it wants; logically, "that thing" is the only thing they can really call it, especially when Jay was as freaked as he was.


+ I think that if they talked about it before it's more likely to them to refer to the operator as 'him'/'it' instead of 'that thing'.

 		Observations, apologies if someone else pointed them out:
Memories references enttry 37
I was scared shitless of watching this video in broad daylight. (Irrelevant, but i digress)
It seems to be shots from a park. Maybe Rosswood?
Years wasted could be either talking to Jay, 'us', or about TTA himself.
So much more than time lost: Memories lost. Note to refer back to 'Memories' video for any connection.
The 'eyes' or headlights: Possibly a reference to Masky or the black-masked figure who retrieved Jay's camera. Alternatively, it can simply be symbolism for how Jay/the audience is being watched and/or watching as they're being watched.
The head with stars for eyes: Could refer to the saying 'stars in your eyes' or be a hint at a more cartoony reference meaning knocked out, dizzy, etc. Could be TTA insisting that someone is being lead in circles.

It made me think of tranced-out Jay in the Return video.

The memories thing has been noted. ^^
Also, it's not a park, it's the swing/bench in front of Alex's house. I think if you go to the first few pages, there are screenshots. (edit: page 5)
Time, memories, and people have been lost, it seems.
I agree with the eyes/headlights.
Though, I'm not sure which theory I believe yet about the stars in the eyes one, I think the most likely one is "knocked out".

Perhaps TTA is saying that Jay's perception of the situation is wrong, or possibly simply insufficient due to Jay's lack of getting answers. I admit that may be pushing it, it made more sense in my head.

 		I'm just going to say I like when stories end up returning to the original setting; it saves some of the trouble of rewatching/reading the whole thing.

 		The lights in that video are far too close to be headlights of a car. No vehicle looks like that, but a few are close. They have to be eyes.

It actually reminds me of a Deer (or any animals eyes) in headlights. Or an enhanced version. Here's a reference shot.

They're a bit far apart in this one but they're closer in others.

Could it imply that Jay is like a deer in headlights and doesn't know what to do? He's scared and frozen?

That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

That's actually an interesting thought. While the eyes seem too close together to be that of a deer, it's definitely an interesting theory and makes some sense in contest. While I do believe the 'watching' interpretation is more accurate, I'm sure Jay feels like a deer in headlights, caught and defenseless.

 		I sent Jay a tweet directing him toward Alex's old house.

I want to see some present day, or conflict. I need more data to build my narratives from!

OH MY GOD, THAT DEER IS POSESSED. IT'S OBVIOUSLY TTA.

Okay, I'm done.

Edit: Oooh, thanks, BioGuy! Now to see if he'll listen...

I sent him a tweet too yesterday.
No reply yet though...
Hopefully he'll get the hint.

The lights certainly ressemble headlights. Or possibly hand-held torch lamps (much like the ones Jay carries in entries 10 and 23 to search through the darkness). The way that this TTA video seems to turn them directly onto the viewer would suggest that Jay's own assets are under another's control and being turned against him. We have already seen his car broken into, his camera picked up and used without his permission, his youtube channel controlled by somebody else, and so on.

 		^I don't know if the lights are directly referring to that, but I like the idea.

TTA can mess with anything Jay has, somehow, someway. There's some superpower oogly-booglyness going on.

TTA has been confirmed for:
-'Hacking' the youtube account on at least one occasion
-Subduing Jay and holding him hostage as the Operator passes him by
-Having access to footage he's not supposed to be able to have (assuming he isn't the owner of some of those videos)

TTA has all BUT been confirmed for:
-Hacking the YT account twice (###### and enttry ##37)
-Hacking the twitter account
-Moving/Teleporting Jay to the woods

Assuming Hoody is TTA, he has also
-Unlocked Jay's car magically
-Moved through the woods faster by walking, than Jay who was running
-Caused audio distortion upon being seen
-Caused visual and audio distortion when seen from the back of Jay's car (assuming that was Hoody)

I think the fast moving thing was solved (however I'm still skeptical about it Razz).
Great summary btw! The one thing that this list made me wonder is. Why is the distortion so random with non-operator people? Hoody/Masky/Jessica all had distortion when seen but not every time they appeared on camera. You could explain it as being 'influenced by the operator' but I'm not so sure about that. When Jessica caused distortion the operator was nowhere to be seen nor did she act strangely.
