Plus, if it is The Operator, then I can't imagine it ever being revealed. I mean, how would anyone know that, unless Alex or totheark saw The Operator do it, which just seems unlikely to me.

Except, Jay had driven miles away from his house when it burned down...meaning...JAY'S ALTER EGO IS A TIME TRAVELER!

Also explains Entry #29, and any other seeming continuity errors. Why does Alex say Seth disappeared last in Entry 22, but implied Seth was already gone when he disappeared Brian? Jay's time traveling alter ego did it.

It was a Fight Club reference, not a serious theory. Very Happy

Now they transformed it into a semi-Donnie Darko reference

Obviously, every character is a time traveling Jay from a different point in his own time stream.

It was probably Tim. Maybe not on purpose. Could have just tossed a cigarette butt in the wrong place.

It was probably Masky what did the actual setting fire, but under The Operator's influence / orders while it is serving as Alex's partner

It was CAUSED by the Operatater-tot, which is what he feeds on, I'm assuming. Destruction and all that good stuff.

I think it was the Operator and whoever he was working with at the time. We know that based on meta, slendy likes fire and that season one had a good deal of meta. But also, we have Totheark who uses water as a common reference.
fire and water anybody?

OOG
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the interview on the Troyhasacamera YouTube, they stated that IG the Operator really likes fire. This is the main reason I believe that the Operator was connected to Jay's apartment burning down.


IG, as you pointed out, there does seem to be a fire/water theme going on here. Places where the Operator has been are clearly connected to fires in some way (burned down hospital, Rosswood, and the Basement O' Doom looked pretty burnt out as well). TTA not only uses water in their videos, but notice Hoody filmed a lot of the creeks when he brought Jay's camera back.

So I have to believe the Operator was at least connected to the fire.

Personally I like this explanation at the bottom of the page: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29123&start=345

Very Happy

This is a theory I can get behind.

I think the idea of the operator holding a match and dropping it in the middle of Jay's apartment then nonchalantly strolling out of his apartment while everything catches fire behind him is hilarious.

Or maybe he had a flame thrower a la "meet the pyro"

I think it might be Tim who burned down the apartment because I remember in one entry Jay said the ceiling was burned where Tim was found in entry 51. I think that suggests that he's the pyro.

Do you believe in fire? In an apartment?
