 		Hm, I guess it's hard to say whether he simply fell down or was sent flying, since teleportation was involved. It still would have been a hard kick to have achieved that though. The pain of attacks to that area is overblown, I agree, though I think the victim would have trouble standing if they got hit there with as much force as in that video.

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but I'm pretty sure this is the "monsters' sanctuary" with the "Inner Sanctum" that Corenthal took Vince to before he shot Slendy in the not-face with his Ghost Busters Gun. For a reminder:

"This place, this is like an inner sanctum to the monsters' sanctuary. These monsters? These things? They can get in. They've gotten in before. I've kicked'em out. It's hard to go and it takes a lot but I've kicked'em out. This time I know they'll be coming full force, cause they're after you, son. They want you, so you're not going to be able to stay here very long. This is very, very temporary for you. So when you start feeling a little bit better I'm going to have to get you out of here. And don't worry, your sister, your brother, and me? We'll hold down the fort."

I know there were theories that this could have been HABIT disguised as Corenthal, but even then, it still works. (I personally don't believe that theory because, if it's true, there's NO HOPE for Vince. He's pretty much dead.)

But yeah. So we know where Noah and Jeff most likely were, but not much else.

I was thinking that his legs might have already been weak from surprise/fear. I actually think it took him an oddly long time to get back up if he was just pushed over.

Malckeor: That makes me think, perhaps we've been wrong to believe that the "Sanctuary" is a "pocket dimension." Perhaps it just comprises all areas linked by the teleporting passageways at any given moment.

 		I used to not believe it but then I rewatched the property and saw the purple distortion when corenthal was acting all badass.

I thought that meant that HABIT was approaching, so that's why Dr. C was getting him out of there.

I mean, the Dr. C inHABITed theory has a lot of points to it, but I sure hope it isn't true. It would be nice to have a little bit of hope in the series and the moment was so...badass.

Does HABIT use guns? I thought he liked knives.

 		In one of those blog posts about HABIT I believe he was reported to use guns during that massive shootout where he took over all of the bodies of the cops and just had them shoot each other, at least that's what I think it said.

I think he just likes using knives on mere mortals that can't fuck up his current vessel because he gets more enjoyment out of it and gets to drag it out because he's a sick fuck.

I don't know why so many people believe it. It basically means that HABIT is working against himself.

Well hey, like I said, I myself have never believed the theory as it would pretty much mean there's absolutely no hope for Vince, and like Lithp said, it would also mean that HABIT was basically working against himself.

 		I don't think he is inhabited. Mostly because in one of the candleverse scenes, Evan talks in Habit's perspective about how Habit killed him, but not before Conrenthal put a bullet in his head. Habit can't live in a vessel that is too heavily damaged, so Corenthal might stop Habit temporarily at some point.

Because it's not crazy to believe? The entire screen gets saturated with this purple distortion right as Corenthal gets all action hero-y and says "The doctor is in."

I don't know about you, but ever since I saw the Property, I've felt very cautious about Corenthal, because things don't seem to add up with his appearance. Especially the presence of HABIT's signature distortion.

But truly, there is no way for us to know at this point. It's really not crazy to think that people would see the connection.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And even if it isn't true, the way it was shot and presented to us makes it seem pretty clear that it was intended for the audience to think that he was inHABITed whether it actually happened or not. Not everything is a clue but it's really not the craziest theory Ive heard before. It's not like "joy is hoody"

 		All of that ignores what I actually said. I'm not trying to be a dick here, but it's disingenuous to say that there was all of this evidence that just made it so obvious when there's a huge, glaring problem that kind of shoots down the whole theory sitting right in front of you. For me to believe that Corenthal is inHABITed, there must first be an answer to what HABIT could possibly gain by posing as his own enemy. Until then, his personality inconsistency could have millions of potential explanations, & the purple distortion indicates only that HABIT was near.

As a side-note, is anyone wondering why Slenderman can make any distortion that isn't purple?

I might've misunderstood you, but if you're talking about the reason that HABIT has purple distortion whereas Slenderman doesn't, that would all be explained by the fact that they (as far as I've understood) are two completely different entities, with completely different affects on their surroundings.

Also, about the whole HABIT making himself his own enemy thing - I'm getting really confused. Granted, I've only watched the first two seasons (2011 & 2012) of EMH, but isn't HABIT only one spirit, which inHABITS one physical body at the same time? Or can HABIT in fact take over multiple bodies/physical representations at the same time? I know I got confused when they talked about the cop shoot out, where it seemed to imply that HABIT simply took over all of them and had them kill each other.

To be honest, HABIT is probably one of the most confusing things to ever be added to Slenderman mythos on my opinion, and as far as I have experienced. I never really seemed to get my head around whether HABIT is in the person that is typing/talking, or if he is in a third unnamed corpreal body. As an example: in the case with Nick, it's clear that HABIT was inside of Nick when he was forced to kill his dog Chowder, as he writes that "I knew it was Habit, but Chowder knew it was me - he didn't understand." - meaning it was Nick's physical body that was taken over by Habit and did the damage.

However, in the post before that (on the canyouseethewords blog) there is a man posting, and at one point he says "The day the Habit broke down our door. He grabbed Julie, my wife. I can still hear her crying in my head. I ran to help her but the Habit just kicked me across the room." - which to me makes it sound like there's a third body/physical representation involved, of which Habit is the owner/controller. But it's rather clear that HABIT is partly in control of the typer (Johnny) at the time of typing it out, since he adds his own little remarks to the story.

I don't know, I just think HABIT is really confusing sometimes.

 		The reason he wouldn't inHABIT Corenthal specifically is because

1. Corenthal has found a way to fight the "monsters," as he calls them. Corenthal is the worst shell Habit has to work with.

2. Corenthal has set up his own sanctuary, making it neigh impossible for the monsters to get in. Habit would have to expend much more energy than it would be worth.

And even if he did inHABIT him, for what? To help Vinny escape from Slenderman? He wasn't acting like Habit either. No, I am pretty sure Corenthal isn't inHABITED.

Plus, if he can only inHABIT one person at a time, he would have had to leave Evan's body, and come back to it later.

I recommend watching/reading the rest of the series from where you left off. I guarantee you'll be a bit less confused when you're all caught up.
