I brought this up before, but nobody seemed to acknowledge it, but remember how we've discussed the possibility of time travel? The most noticeable incident in the one entry where Jay keeps going in and out of the same room in that house and it keeps going from night to day?

What if the tapes are from the future, and someone, whether it's Alex or Jay or Tim, at some point in the future, went back in time and burned them badly and left them in the holes and that's why they gave off the static in the infamous entry where Jay points his camera at the spooky hole?

Or, weirder yet, the tapes could be from an alternate universe, where Alex succeeded in burning them, but included in this collection are tapes we've yet to see, either because they were corrupted in this universe or because Alex withheld them from Jay due to their... unusual content?

I dunno, we had time distortion when Jay ran through those doors in Brian's house, and it changed from day to night very quickly, but I think the characters travelling into the past is kind of a stretch. Plus, if someone from the future did burn those tapes, they'd already know that Tim and Jay would find them anyway.

The footage being an alternate reality version of the footage we've all seen already seems unlikely to.

Alright, I'm a bit late to the game on this one, but what the hell.

I kind of like the idea of Jay having put the tapes there. Obviously it's completely speculation. It struck me as a possibility since Jay seemed a little... off? Did anybody else feel that way about him this Entry, or am I just confusing regular derpy Jay for something else?

If he did put them there, I guess it wouldn't necessarily be a conscious thing, or anything he'd remember, though I suppose if the footage is actually from the college Marble Hornets movies and/or of TO eating/maiming/killing/ raping someone it'll be more likely Alex was the one to put them there.

The prospect of Jay being an unreliable narrator has always kind of intrigued me. Here we have this guy who goes around chasing someone he lost contact with years ago and the tall faceless fellow who follows him around, asks a whole bunch of old friends questions that seem to dig up old memories, and he doesn't seem to have a lot of motivation, does he? Idk. I would definitely feel satisfied if it turned out to be even somewhat true, but we'll see.

On that note, wouldn't all this really be Jay's fault? As far as we can see, before he started snooping through the tape and bringing up old problems, everyone involved, seemed to be doing pretty well. Except the dead ones, but we'll just ignore that. Again, Idk.

I still disagree with the notion that there was time travel in entry 23. It appears darker downstairs because the front door, where light was coming in, is now shut.

Plus, we haven't seen any instances of time travel since then. If it was time travel, I'm inclined to believe it was a scraped idea. Time travel would really deteriorate things in this series IMO, teleportation is bad enough. It would make things too unrealistic

I'll agree that a time distortion, i.e., time not progressing for the characters in tandem with the rest of the world, was possible when Jay was trapped going through doors that didn't lead where they were supposed to. However, we've had absolutely no evidence that time travel was ever part of this series.
