Automatic Stop

My friend Ashley is a whiz at figuring shit out. She is a mock trial master; a song writing sensation; a beanie wearin' BAMF; and a bass clarinet blastin' beast. Yes, the alliteration is purposeful and quite annoying but it gets the point across. Anyway, she clearly loves a challenge and took it upon herself to further investigate the Marble Hornets videos I posted last week. If you all recall, Marble Hornets are the creators of the terribly frightening videos where an entity known as the Slenderman haunted a boy named Jay, and his friend Alex is trying to get to the bottom of it. Ashley surfed the Internet and found that this masked man, not the Slenderman, who appears in the videos has his own youtube account where he posts videos in response to Alex. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC. I watched some of the videos and they show shocking similarities to Alex and Jay's videos. This is no coincidence and if you watch both the masked man's video uploads, along with Alex's uploads, the entire experience is all the more spooky. Alex has his twitter account where he posts updates every day of his findings, and the masked man posts video responses urging Alex to "Come back to the arc." The entire series is something to follow if you like a good scare once in awhile. The fact that there is this unknown man posting responses to Alex who made his youtube account at the exact same time that Alex made his is deliciously haunting. Kudos to Ashley for discovering this shocking parallel.

Here is an example of tothearc's reply to Alex that was posted earlier today:
