 		Re-reading this brought one more idea into my head. People have claimed (and confirmed) that this video is indeed 3D compatible. But why? People have said that there is little to no difference in the video itself whether viewed in 2D or 3D. What if 3D is a clue? Totheark has never repeated a code twice (he/she/they always find a new way to perplex us with a puzzle), and Totheark has already used the message-in-a-spectrogram trick. What if there is more to the spectrogram than we see? Those four random dots/bars/circles at the bottom of the spectrogram might actually have meaning. What if we tried ran the audio through a program to create a 3D Spectrogram? There may be something there, because those extra dots/bars/circles could easily be omitted when creating the audio itself. Unfortunately I do not know how to create a 3D spectrogram or even what software to use to create one, but I know someone here can. Can one of the sound gurus check out this theory? The dots/bars/circles just bother me because they could easily be omitted, and Totheark has never included anything without a purpose. 3D that doesn't seem to make a difference, and random dots/bars/circles? It just seems too odd that they can't be omitted as clues.
P.S. Sorry for the wall of text but I figured I'de include my thought process with the theory so that people would understand how I got to this conclusion.

 		Btw I remember someone mentioning that the "eye" looked like the tunnel in the abandoned basement (entry #22)



Here's the imaged cropped and flipped:


P.S. sorry for the double post and for the images being large Confused

 		The thumbnail for "Inquiry" and thumbnail for "Decay" together make for one creepifying Youtube visit.

 		GOD, I haven't watched entry 22 in a while and forgot just how friggin' creepy that tunnel was.

Forgive my ignorance, as I'm not sure how the spectrograph software works, but is there something else hidden in the eye segment? What is the purpose of the flashing colored blobs?

 		Has anyone seen this yet?

In "LEAD ME TO DEATH" the word "DEATH" is blurred for just a very short moment.

Any speculation as to the meaning of this? Maybe it's not real death TTA means, but more like symbolic death or the death of someone else?

I mentioned a theory on this a couple pages back. I haven't had time to work on it though Sad But, basically I said that what if we took that entire scene with the eye and over laid it upon itself? Because the "decay" does not seem to be the same image.
P.S. I managed to get a closer resemblance with the tunnel and the "eye". I re-updated my post above :3

I think they are actually like windows through which another static image is seen.

I noticed this as well (just press "6" while the video is paused ;D) but I don't see anything in particular that it could point to :/

 		The colored blobs are actually doors to the Operator's realm, which is actually a place of color and pleasantly trippy hallucinations!

You know you wanna go!

 		By the way, does anyone know what Entry# it was where it showed either Jay or Alex in the Tunnel in the woods? Because that would make sense since the clips are all in chronological order. I want to see it the tunnel on the camera can match up with "eye" in this video.

 		I want to toss in some of my thoughts for what they're worth. Some of it I'm sure has been brought up, but it I have an angle that I think hasn't been considered thus far.

First, this outline is what got me thinking:

Quote:
Footage of Alex from 26, spinning to face the Operator.
"YOU CAUSED THIS"
Alex, after smashing Bruce's head in.
"YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN"
Jay, coughing.
"HE WILL LEAD ME TO YOU"
Figure holding Jay's knife
"LEAD ME TO DEATH"
Footage of the woods, in some sort of orange tone.
"LEAD ME TO THE ARK" (numbers flash up that translate to NO CHOICE)
"ALWAYS WATCHING" with the CREEPY FACE
Zoom in on an eye, with polkadot things flashing up and weird noise going through.

The message seems to be relatively simple, if the person filmed in the previous section is always being referred to. Alex caused this, Alex will never be forgiven, Jay will lead TTA to Alex.


I'm not convinced in any direction yet as far as to whom the video is addressed. As far as I can tell, the rest of the TTA videos have been addressed to Jay, which makes me question why he would suddenly say something to Alex. Of course, we only have an assumption that all of the previous videos were actually messages to Jay. Could they have actually been for someone else?

But in any case, I'm inclined to think the video is addressed wholly toward one person; the change of 'you' and 'he' would get rather confusing otherwise. I still think Jay is likely the target audience, but I also had the crazy idea that it could be the Operator/Slender.

The Operator is seen in the first shot...it could be interpreted that he caused Alex to attack Bruce. He is also the cause of Jay's (and the others' for that matteR) coughing...and in any event will not be forgiven. Jay will lead TTA to the Operator, who is arguably a bringer of death, and the Ark (whatever that actually is). "Lead me to death" may imply that TTA expects to die in a 'final showdown' with the Operator.

WALL OF TEXT (See above :3)

I thought similarly to this, but it was that it was completely directed at Alex. "YOU CAUSED THIS" and "YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN" are almost positively addressed to Alex. But people stumble over the next few lines. In english when there is a pause between phrases or word you add a comma, and thats how I read the next part. "HE WILL LEAD ME TO YOU, LEAD ME TO DEATH, LEAD ME TO THE ARK" This is still directed at Alex but says that he will use someone to as well (assumed to be Jay)

I'm afraid I have to do this...it's terrible but it must be done.

It leads to a rave. Alex went to that rave. But, you see, he decide to wif--

*is immediately long-distance choked by the entire forum*

I'll...I'll just go sit in the corner.
