 		Is Jessica Sarah?
So I had an epiphany a few seconds ago and reviewed the videos. Namely, Entry 9 and Entry 32. I took some screenshots to support my theory. What is my theory?
Well, upon reviewing the videos Sarah and Jessica look strangely familiar. The fact that these things are happening to an entirely new character seem odd, especially since they seem to be going at the same pace as Jay's and in fact they met each other at the seemingly abandoned hotel. The location of the other members can be accounted for, given our idea of what's happened thus far.
Seth - Reportedly dead
Brian - Missing, perhaps dead
Alex - Alive and accounted for as of seven month blackout
Tim - Masky
Jay - Obviously, narrator

Sarah, however, is only mentioned and seen in entry 9. So doesn't it seem odd that we would be shown a new character without further exploring an old one?
I reviewed the videos, as I said, and noticed similarities. Jessica looks a lot like Sarah, right down to the way they wear their hair, except she seems sick/tired. Jessica says, however, that she can't sleep through the night when she can sleep, which accounts for this. It can also be a result of Slender Sickness. The lighting in entry 32 is bad, but you can see dark circles under Jessica's eyes and dry, dead looking hair as well as an all-together sickly appearance.
Also remember she finds Jay's name 'familiar'. Could she be Sarah? If so, why is she apparently missing more of her memory than Jay? Did she have a close encounter with the Operator that we don't know about?

Here's the screenshot for comparison:

 		Screencaps don't lie, people. I'm all for this theory.

Edit: And lol at Tim's sideburns. Oh, Masky. Never shave.

 		Hot damn, I never thought about that. This actually makes sense.

 		I have no damn clue how I thought about it, but it suddenly dawned on me and I had to recheck the videos. I noticed the appearance first, and only after I started this thread did the rest occur to me.

 		If they're not the same girl they could at very least be related. Cousins or even sisters. I can see a lot of similarities and really do like this theory.

As much as I despise using OOG information for things like this, I feel it may be necessary to tell you all that Troy held auditions for the part of Jessica between seasons 1 and 2, and the actress that played Sarah, Mary Kathleen Bishop, is not the same actress that played Jessica.

 		I'd also like to mention that Jay likely met Sarah, and would therefore be able to tell that Jessica was indeed Sarah. And why wouldn't the creators (If wanting to further a character who already exists) just keep her name at Sarah and have Jay mention that "She seemed vaguely familiar." as if they both forgot each other.

Huh, I didn't know that. When did he say he held auditions?

Reference my point about Jessida/Sarah losing more of her memory than Jay. It's also worth noting that Jay wasn't present for very much of the MH filming. While he saw her on tape once, that wasn't the highlight of that entry.
As for the name change, it could be that either Jessica/Sarah forgot her name, or is under an assumed name. I also note that her hair is slightly shorter, but that isn't too surprising as even during blackouts characters can retain motor function and do things consciously, including having detailed conversations and driving.

It may seem like I'm grasping at straws to support my theory, but remember the SEVEN MONTH gap between seasons one and two. It's likely circumstances lead to getting another actress in that time, or he would have simply wanted a girl who looked more the part of 'sickly Sarah'.

 		NO OOG POSTS ABOUT HOW NOT-VALID THE POSTS ARE!!!! Gah!!! lol, raged for just a second there.

anyway, It's been said (by troy) that OOG has no impact on what happens IG (lol the hypocracy of my statement)

anyway, has anyone compared their voices?

Good idea. I'll do so now from a strictly by-ear level. If anyone wants to electronically compare, that'd be great.

 		After brief comparison, their voices do sound similar. Granted it isn't saying much, as it's not a very distinct voice pattern and given the respective distances from the camera and the fact that a lot of Jessica's audio is distorted. Having the distortion in Jessica's audio removed would be a help. But their voices do seem to share the same pitch.

All I'm trying to say is that they're not the same actress, if that is what the poster thinks. As such, the usefulness of looking for aesthetic similarities between them is highly debatable. The reality of the situation is that this fact is the main reason that I do not believe this theory. It was in my head, it affected my thought process, I said it out loud. I honestly think it's a pretty important piece of information in terms of this theory.

Also, when Troy said that, he did not mean that any mentioning of anything OOG ever is forbidden from everything. He seemed to more so be commenting on people referencing his blog as "Proof" that Hoody was Alex, when obviously he never had said that on his blog.

In conclusion, them not being the same actress is important to whether or not they're the same person. The information existed on my head, I wasn't going to just not going to say it despite it's usefulness just because Troy, the almighty ruler of the universe, commanded that I not.
