Operator not a physical entity?

Well you mention people seeing him at the park, which is on film. Alex sees him when he's walking his dog. Since none of the characters are really looking at the footage while they're filming, you can tell by their reactions to Slendy appearing that they can see him without having to look into the camera for him if that's what you're implying.

IMO the paranoia/lying is human nature and has nothing to do with the operator. Alex lies to people to protect his own identity. Not necessarily that he wants to not get caught for killing people, but moreso to watch his back that he doesn't end up dead himself at the hands of someone like a masky. The operator just being some figure that posesses people and nothing more completely ruins the character for me.

All in all, this has been speculated before and didn't need it's own topic. I wish people would give substantial theories that were based on facts and not predictions when making an entire topic about them :\

DaveK, can you clarify whether or not you feel the Operator is real? If you're trying to argue that the Operator is a creation of Jay, Alex's, or someone else's imagination, I will disagree with you. However, I am intrigued by the notion that there is no physical body to the Operator, but rather his appearance is an impression forced into the minds of the viewer by whatever-the-fuck-he-is.

Unfortunately, that last theory can't work on the sole merit that we (the audience) are seeing him in a recorded video... which isn't fooled by tricks of the mind. In order for digital film (or even analog film) to capture an image, there must be matter there for light to bounce off of into the lens -- or something that projects photons that are absorbed into the lens.

Well, the Operator does have some physical force. It apparently knocked over the camera during the blackout between Entry #40 and Entry #41.

Just watching back the TTA videos which i do sometimes cause I enjoy them and I notice there are a lot of reference to water. Do you think there's something to that? This for example is from the Operator video.

Is the Operator a water based entity?

He was seen by a plane-full of people in TribeTwelve's 'Northern Trip,' but I guess that's unrelated. MH-wise, I don't believe anybody outside the cast of MH (and Amy) have seen him.
