 		I wondered about TO there too, but think it's probably a paranoia-induced pareidolia, isn't it?

Why would he sit and watch the building? He drove all that way, he would have realistically broken a window to get in.


I think he's trying to decide his next move, or just being cautious. I know I wouldn't approach a building in which a 6" crazy murderer, a hooded man who just recently attacked me with a wrench, and a traitor are possibly staying in without a plan.

I don't think Tim is a traitor, but he just doesn't want Jay to be derping up whatever he's up to.

Or the Operator didn't intervene because a) Hoody didn't actually threaten Alex's life; in the past TO only got involved when Alex's life was in danger. Or b) The Operator hasn't intervened because it's fully aware of the situation, and realizes that if it just waits, all the people it's targeted in the past will be in one place. Which opens the possibility of... dropping a Slendy-bomb on all of them, for lack of a better term.

Holy crap, this actually makes sense. Shocked Shocked Silly

Agreed. Could have been anything. What kind of annoys me is that the one who noticed this is claiming they are 100% sure its TO. You are not 100% sure. There is no way to be sure.

I said I was sure because I've watched the entry in HD, and with the video on fullscreen it was very easy to see the tie and TO itself, and it is not just a frame, but 5 seconds (10:15-10:20). I don't think I'm hallucinating yet, lol. But I can't blame you if you are not sure about what you see, the picture is dark.


Ok, I just watched it back, HD in fullscreen, and yeah, I see what you mean, it's a LOT more obvious. I'm still not convinced, I still think it's more likely to be just an artifact, but the people who are calling you out on bbeing wrong and just believing what you want to believe are just as wrong.
Basically, I don't believe it, but I'm not going to argue against it any more, since I'm not 100% certain either way, I suggest people watch it back, HD fullscreen if possible (another interesting part is that for a second Jay seems to put 'his' head as the focus on screen)

Well, guess some of you are also right, I shouldn't have said I was "100% sure", but I know what I've seen and I've just tried to show it up to you, nothing more. What I see is a tall figure in a business suit (I noticed especially the tie), that's all. You could either see that like me or not, but I don't think it's totally impossible for Trosephim to play "Where's Waldo?" like they used to.

Also, I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes, I'm not English.

3 bloody handprints. I wonder if Alex got loose, injured Hoody, and left the note to lure Jay/Tim into a trap? Hoody seemed pretty hysterical for Hoody....


Now that you tell that... Alex could have taken Hoody's clothes off and wear them himself. It is possible, but I don't really think that's what happened.

When I saw the picture, I thought it might have been TO, but when I watched the whole 5 seconds (HD, full screen) I thought it looked more like a door. After going through it five times I'm pretty sure it is actually just a door (or something similar). Especially around 10:19-10:20. Not 100 % sure, more like 70 % sure.

 		Why are you watching it from a distance, Jay? Why don't you just break a window now? What are you hoping to see by watching it? Hoody's given you all the clues, you're not going to see them come out again. Except maybe to look straight at you and hold up a sign saying "GET THE FUCK IN HERE (X)"

This is another Entry #66 deal, absolutely tons of suspense, building to absolutely no pay-off because the characters are morons.

And I'm not buying that Jay needs to think of a plan. He's just revealed his location to everyone. Again. And while he's sitting there watching the building, Tim, Hoody and Alex are all capable of dying or leaving. And we know his plan is just going to end up being charge in there and hope for the best, as always. The best thing he could do is break in there ASAP and not publicise his location again. Geez I thought from Entry #72 and #75 he was supposed to have become smarter, not dumber.

It's a shame because Hoody was so scary in this entry, watching Jay from above, then the echoed coughing (absolutely amazing effect there btw, it really sounded like something monstrous when it was echoed), then the crazy wrench-swinging after presumably being so helpful before. And the Tim stalking was pretty tense, even though I kept expecting an anti-climax. But yeah, that anti-climax just had to come. I really do not want things to fizzle out at this stage but it's looking like that's what's happening.

 		Is this Hoody at about 1:10? In the window? Sorry the image is small, idk how to make it bigger, but if you watch the entry it looks like him.

 		also, i don't know if this has been mentioned already, but i love the distortion used as a type of ominous music when Hoody attacks Jay ♥

 		Yeah the distortion there was cool. Also I like how Hoody leaves Jay a knife again because he didn't take it the first time.

 		This is the Merriam-Webster definition for the word benediction: bene·dic·tion
noun \ˌbe-nə-ˈdik-shən\

: a prayer that asks for God's blessing
Full Definition of BENEDICTION
1
: the invocation of a blessing; especially : the short blessing with which public worship is concluded
2
: something that promotes goodness or well-being
3
often capitalized : a Roman Catholic or Anglo-Catholic devotion including the exposition of the eucharistic Host in the monstrance and the blessing of the people with it
4
: an expression of good wishes

this kind of fits too, along with the Benedict Arnold meaning.

 		This new location is great. I love how you can't really tell if the whole campus and all of the buildings are abandoned or not. I'm assuming it is?

The part where Tim had to crawl through that one area was especially cool. What's that all about? And there was a door behind it.

It's odd how Jay is just waiting there now. Like what the hell is that going to accomplish? He's just gonna stay there? He could easily miss anything that happens from sleeping or just being out of sight range. I know it's probably for OOG purposes, but it's still a bit silly.

Always a shame when that happens.

Anyhow, I guess Jay is squatting in an abandoned building now. Add that to following a camera-wielding investigator around in the dark and the only real difference between him and season 1 Tim is that Jay isn't wearing a mask yet. I still say his disguise should wind up being the Digsby mustache, but I guess that would ruin some of the seriousness of it or whatever.

My hand is not very still and the picture is really dark, but I tried. Here you are. Can you see it now? I also attached a more contrasted picture, which makes it even more clear.

If you watch the video in 720p and in fullscreen like I did, you can notice that too.


There's no operator there, your mind is convincing your eyes that he's there when he's not.

There would have been some kind of distortion (saying season 1 entries had no distortion is not viable evidence bc things obviously changed as they went along (every time he has appeared in seasons 2 and 3 there has been distortion.) There has never been an operator sighting where it wasn't clear as day that he was there, and I highly doubt there ever will be. If they want you to see him, they will make sure you are able to see him.

Due to the darkness in this building it would be super easy to splice different takes together (which is something they have done plenty of times (entry 43, for example), they would have kept reshooting that until they got a good shot of him if it were truly him.
