I can totally see how you would get Slender Man from that still - but looking at it in motion, it really just looks like an artifact of [light room - Alex shadow - light room]. Might have even been intentional. But I definitely don't see Slendy there looking at it in motion, as good as the screenshot is.


yep. Someone made a gif (warning it is huuuge) and you can tell if you watch closely that it is reflection of light off of the window. The white part changes shape; clothing, even slendy's suit, doesn't do that.


Even though, I posted that picture I have to agree. I guess it was a happy accident.


but the video sort of blurs when alex opens the shades... it might be a happy accident but it's just too good to be a coincidence. i think it's TO, but the changing-shape thing was the accident.

Also, I found Sad Panda (look back on page 5-6 for what I'm referring to) and it's not the same exact face. That said, that tree at the end is giving me major deja-vu, and if anyone can find it in a recent entry and point it out to me, that'd be awesome! (I'll post it again here)


Totally getting deja-vu and seeing something Sad Panda-ish during that same scene as well.

Can definitely see that it's not Slendy not, but the screencap is totally convincing. Also, that gif is strangely hypnotic.

Auto-focus is causing the blur.

1. OH MY GOD. SIDEBURNS. ROCK GRUDGE. SIDEBURNS. IT'S TIM. His bangs are LIKE that.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Screencapped from OOG account: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/screenshot20110723at902.png/


2. Why do we think Alex is working with The Operator? Just because he didn't run when Masky/Blasky did, doesn't mean he necessarily knew the Operator was there right away. He was obviously more worried with getting Masky and Blasky than he was about whatever made them run at the time. Who's to say he didn't see the Operator after he had the double voice?

3. SIDEBURNS


I wasn't sure about the bangs until you posted it. It didn't make much sense for it not to be Tim, to me, in the first place; thanks for that!


I'm not sure who ToTheBark is at this point. Seeing as he's wearing a hoodie with the hood up, and it's a light colour, it makes the most sense if it were Blasky, especially considering that the eyes look to be the same style. That being said, the mask does look a little different due to the discoloration. I don't have a lot of experience with night vision in cameras--though my phone's camera doesn't change the colours at all in its night mode--but maybe, just maybe the mask has different colours due to fabric being multiple colours woven together? :/ I'll have to wait and see the TTA reply or the next entry.

It seems, however, like Alex is on The Operator's side. We can see him at the end of the video, though it looks like the thing outside the blinds has its "head" tilted too far to the side to be The Operator, and as was said before, the suit changes its shape a bit. Combining this with the fact that it's after he went into the woods to meet it, it seems logical he'd be working with him somehow.

That is why Alex wanted to originally destroy his tapes from 2 years before this started again, as remembering slendy started the cycle up again. Masky and Hoodie are trying to stop this for the third time(current time @ hotel) but preventing anyone from viewing the tapes(aka attacking Jay)


He didn't prevent Jay from watching the tapes, though. He gave them to him, instead of destroying them in the first place. Why would he do that if he was safe and Jay was his friend?

Guys, I think the other hooded figure is female and not Hoody.



Boys wear skinny jeans too. I'm living proof of that. Razz The figure does look rather slim, though, compared to Hoodie...

I noticed the blurring of the video too. Perhaps it's just meant to be The Operator, even if it's not actually him? Why would auto-focus randomly happen then? Just because of the large amount of darkness that occurs when the blinds open?

 		Okay, guys. Pay close attention to this sequence of events.

2:30-2:36ish - TiMasky is attacking Alex/trying to harm him, seemingly

2:36-2:40 - Visual tearing. We all know what that means. Tim and the other hooded figure both look up very quickly and flee.

2:43-2:47 - Alex recovers, gets his bearings, and looks over his shoulder causing him to (in this theory at least), see Slendy.

2:49 - Alex cuts the camera off momentarily, (in this theory) accommodating the needs of Slendy (assuming what most of us think, that Slendy is limited in some capacity by being on camera)

2:54 - The camera cuts on, Alex suddenly switches into a very threatening, almost demonic tone calling after the masks.

Are Alex and Slendy connected when he's yelling aftyer the masks? Slendy is protecting its own, and potentially speaking through Alex.

 		To try to get a better look at the masked figures I took some screen shots then I messed around with the lighting in GIMP. Here are the results in case anyone is interested.

and I am pretty sure its Tim.

The more I watch the thing outside the blinds, the more I'm sure it's just shadows + blur. I do see why people would think that, but it's just too short to be it (given Alex's height when he opens the blinds and the relative size of the "head" and "body")

I don't think he went into the woods to meet Operator, he just went in looking. He tried to run away, but ended up being pulled in. In the later entry (44, I think) there was no indication he was working for him either. If anything, it's the same as in Season 1 when Jay disappeared from his bed. I again bring up the point that he would've been more worried about the assailants than what scared them away (at first, anyway).

Again, WHY do we think they are in cahoots?


because TO saved Alex from the Masks

 		Keep in mind, Masky attacked Alex in Entry #35, before Alex supposedly started being in cahoots with Slendy.

seeing how alex seems to be under the control of slendy, though that's still not 100% confirmed, this might very well be the case.

Do you mean The Operator and Alex?

Consider the last video we saw, of Alex going toward The Operator. That was before this video, and yet he's totally unharmed here. His voice distorts after Masky and ToTheBark/Woodsy run away, and I personally think I see The Operator approach under the strange tree branches as they run. It makes sense to me that he's on The Operator's side, and was perhaps being influenced by him before.

Basically, it goes like this: every time Alex shows up in MH, someone has the theory that he's working with the Operator. It only became more ubiquitous after Entry #43, when people became divided as to whether or not Alex had been possessed by the Operator at the end of the Entry. Alex's unknown motivations, 'unscathed' return home in Entry #44, and penchant for outright lying to other characters only makes it worse.

Yes, but color distortion can't effect one SPECIFIC object unless it was edited to (which I HIGHLY doubt). And if this 'color distortion' was eminent, that color distortion should have screwed with Masky's mask as well, which it didn't clearly didn't.

You mean in the forest? He was limping and was basically dragging himself along, as opposed to his normal walking minutes before. Plus, didn't he try to run away? If you're talking about when he was drawing again, he just disappeared, we didn't see Alex wake up and say "Oh hai Operator let's go get candy". People have been unharmed due from direct contact before (in MH, at least). When they were at that abandoned park kinda-thing (when Jay has to get the tapes from the car, and Alex finds that big (X) on the ground), he was just about 2 feet away, and was able to run away. As for the scene when Alex had blood on his head, it's not known what caused that (and will probably never be known). Or when they were just starting to shoot the actual film, and Operator showed up on the scene, and Alex went to talk to him? We don't know the ramifications, but in later entries, he seemed OK physically.
