With the trail kind of gone cold, I think that there is a good choice for Jay that I have not seen discussed. I think that he should return to the clinic in the town where he met Tim, the one by the Antique shop. Whoever left the medical documents obviously thought that something there would lead Jay along or let Jay know he is lying about something. I think that the clinic would have unedited documents about his health and a number for the doctor that Tim was talking to frequently. This way he would get the lead that hoody or whoever intended him to get, and possibly more like Tim's Mothers phone number.

Also has the possibility of someone redacting(if thats a word) the documents after they were placed in the tunnel for Jay to find come up? For example if Tim or someone knew that he was going to go down there, went down there first and edited the good stuff out? Just a thought.

First post, welcome to the forum.

And, your theory is a new way to look at things, but if that was the case, why not just take the documents entirely? Misinformation is one thing, but what was left for Jay still seemed to be useful in some respect. I think the original theory works better, where whoever left them for Jay decided not to let him see some things in order to keep him better focused on what was actually there. Or to mess with him. I can't shake the feeling that Totheark at least might be a bit more malevolent than helpful. Too many mocking moments.

If Jay does decide to track down Tim's mom, I'm picturing it going something like this:

Maybe Tim bought paintings of beautiful forest fires for art therapy and sold his paintings to the antiques store where his mom works who is also Hoody.

I do think it would be interesting if it turned out that they all knew each other as kids, and it makes me think of a possible theory: what if they'd thought of OP as an imaginary friend and brought him to life/let him cross over into our world that way?

Plausible or not, Sylocat's theory is wicked cool.

I don't think The Operator has ever actively searched for Jay until Entry #52, and even then, it's somewhat of a singular occurrence. All other entries, as far as I can tell, involved Jay crossing into territory that already HAD TO in them (Rosswood for sure, "Brian's House" debatable, the maintenance tunnel which was part of the burned-out tunnel). Jay's been mostly this unassuming bystander who never really attracted TO's attention the way Alex had it until Entry #52, when Alex began to actively project malice towards Jay.

Because of that difference in attentions, I doubt Jay has any unknown history with The Operator beyond what we've seen with others like Seth and Brian. Either Alex or Tim is most likely where TO stems from, given the current evidence, and Tim only from recent evidence at that.

I wonder how Jay gets all the money to travel that much. I remember Tim saying he can't hold a job because he was unreachable most of the time.

Also, maybe they are all friends back when they were kids and then just forgot about each other and then just happened to meet again...
