It would be seven months before Jay returned. Jay woke up in a hotel on November 23, 2010, with no memory of the past seven months; the last thing he remembered doing being uploading Entry #26; he searched around the area he was in, finding little other than a key and an unlabeled pill bottle. Jay meets Jessica Locke while there, a woman who happens to be the only person other than the staff that Jay sees while he's there other than staff. In Jay's room is also a safe he can't open.
After a while of messing around with his supplies, Jay finds a video on his laptop of someone (himself) running through a wooded area. It's also undated. They enter a tunnel, find a bloody cloth, and encounter the Operator before the video cuts out. Jay asks around for what the place might be called, and discovers a park called Rosswood. He doesn't find the tunnel, however. Jay comes back to ask Jessica about it, but she seems especially wary of him and what he might be doing, likely fueled by his obsessive filming.
This would come to a head when Jessica confronted him about how he would always carry around a camera. Jay was suspecting something was wrong with Jessica as well, seeing as how thumps and noises would come from her room at night every once in a while (though she said she didn't know what he was talking about); he was confronted about her issues, which mirrored his. She spoke of her bizarre recurring nightmares, her large memory gap... Jay would then tell her that he knew what was going on, budging the truth. He promised to tell her after they left. But, after preparing himself and entering her room, he found she was gone. He also found the combination to his safe in her room. Upon opening it, he found that it was filled with tapes. He took them all, but then Masky would attack him. He got away safely with all of them and all of his belongings, however.
Jay would begin to upload these tapes, and they would tell the story of these missing seven months.
The story the tapes portray goes like this:
After receiving the tape in the box, Jay went to the return address that was on it. He found an abandoned house with nothing in it. The next day he returned, still finding nothing; but then Alex showed up, right in front of him. Alex warned him to keep watch as he entered a side room, where Masky would then attack. The two would bring the masked man down to the ground, tie him up, and remove his mask, to reveal Tim. In a fit of rage, Alex crushed Tim's leg with a large rock, breaking it.
The two would then regroup in a parking lot as Jay would then go on to berate Alex for breaking his leg, calling it an overreaction. After the two's argument subsided, Alex told Jay to just lay low for the time being to his frustration.
A week later, Jay was in the trunk of his car in a parking lot; his place to sleep for the time being. Alex called him, telling him to meet at Rosswood Park. While Jay slept, a man in a khaki hoodie wearing a black ski mask with a frowning red face (affectionately dubbed as Hoody or Hoodie) filmed him from outside of his back window.
The next day, Jay went to the park but found that Alex wasn't there at the time. He went inside of the park, but only to encounter the Operator and run, leaving his camcorder behind. Fifteen minutes later, Hoodie would pick up the camera and return it to Jay's car. Meanwhile, Alex met with Jay as they both went to their cars and Alex found Jay a place to stay.
Later, Alex would bring Jay to his old home where himself and Amy left from in April due to the Operator's interference. He calls Jessica (tying her into the ordeal), Amy's roommate, asking her if she'd seen Amy recently, although the call went to voice mail. Alex later ventured to Rosswood Park alone, encountering the Operator as he seemed to be lured towards it. Even later on, Alex would call back, lying to her and saying that he'd found Amy.
A few months later, Alex was ambushed at his home by the masked and hooded man (working in cohorts) in a failed attempt to kill him. They came very close, however, the Operator appeared, prompting the duo to run.
A few more months later, Jay broke into Alex's apartment, trying to steal a tape from him on a hunch after a long period of downtime in their investigation into Amy's disappearance. This attempt failed, as Alex caught him in the act. Though then, the Operator ambushed both of them, Alex peculiarly not running as Jay did. Alex just stood still. Jay, however, in the moment, without a thought, took Alex's spare front door key and left as fast as he could.
Hours later, Alex and Jay met in a parking lot to have another argument. Alex is angered with Jay's behaviour and attempt to break into his home. The two opt to stop working with one another. Jay does, however, get Alex to budge Jessica's phone number. The next day, Jay called Jessica to tell her about how Alex did not, in fact, get back in touch with Amy. Amy was still missing.
Jay would go on to stalk Alex for a long while afterwards, having no other lead in his investigation. This is where Jay found the tunnel; Alex sat outside of it for a select amount of time, once, as Jay followed him in after gathering his bravery. Alex seemed to see him, though, thus why his stalking ended.
However, this is where things began to turn sour. Jay stumbled upon a very disturbing video, that of Alex being followed by another man who he didn't even seem to know, but mistook for Jay; he asked if Alex was alright, but he was then strangled by Alex in his rage. Alex then began to smash the man's head in with a rock. The Operator took his body then.
It was at this point in the present that Jay truly became aware of Alex's downward spiral.
Later on that same day, Alex called Jay and told him to come meet at Rosswood Park again, despite the fact that they were no longer helping each other. He had something to show to Jay. Jay came about, and followed him for a while. Alex repeatedly bothered him about his missing spare front door key on the way there. It got dark, though, and Jay decided to leave, Alex staying behind. Alex told him to bring Jessica next time as well.
Jay would then break into Alex's home using the key. He took the tape and watched it, and it truly opened his eyes to what was going on. It was another 2006 tape. Alex led Brian out to an old, abandoned mental hospital... lured him out to the Operator... because he knew that it would appear and take him. However, it would seem it didn't take anyone; only knocked Brian out. Brian awoke later with the camera, looking about for Alex to no avail, before he found Tim in one of the rooms, coughing in a corner, curled up in a blanket. The Operator appeared and knocked him out again. The next thing that is shown is Alex dragging Brian's body away before the filming ends.
Jay in the tapes became aware of what was going on upon seeing this, opting not to trust him, and warning Jessica not to trust him either, although both of them still followed; but he vowed to protect Jessica at any cost.
And it was a trap. The two were led into a shed by him, and held at gunpoint. They would've been harmed, if it wasn't for Tim as the masked man, hiding behind him in the shed. Tim tackled him, and the two ran for it. They made it to the nearest hotel, and stayed there. However, in the night, the Operator appeared, and attacked. Jay, near his breaking point, yelled for it to leave them alone as he ran at it. Subsequently, because of his rash choice, severe repercussions were made. He lost his memory of the last seven months.
And that led back into the present, Entry #27. November 23, 2010.
Jay also found Tim walking about through a nearby town. He followed Tim for a while, but eventually lost him. Jay vowed to find him so that he may continue his investigation.

Marble Hornets, Season One
Marble Hornets opens with the narrator Jay Merrick (played by Troy Wagner), who gives a brief summary of the events that transpired between Alex Kralie and himself on that night in video form, uploaded on YouTube. It's backed with footage of an unknown person driving. It's either Jay or Alex filming, though.
Alex Kralie was filming a student film in 2006 entitled Marble Hornets, featuring himself mainly. He acted as a director, writer, editor, actor, and musician on the soundtrack. Of course, always a good sign of talent. Tommy Wiseau type talent. Brian Thomas was another actor in the film, alongside Timothy Wright, Sarah Reid, and Jay himself. Timothy also worked with Alex on the soundtrack. Seth Wilson was the cameraman and co-editor; Sarah would sometimes act as a stand-in in Seth's absence; and Jay was the assistant script supervisor.
The plot of the movie was something which is totally typical of a student film. Seeing as how student films are generally relatively low quality, Marble Hornets was no exception. It's a cheesy downer romantic movie about a man (played by Brian) trying to find his place in life and trying to get back together with his previous romantic interest (played by Sarah) after moving back to the town where he attended school.
Nonetheless, things were going pretty well in the beginning. Despite the pretentiousness that Alex held up and the fact that the movie was obviously going to be trite no matter what, everything was going just fine for what it was. This was, until Alex began running into some troubling matters.
He began to see... a tall man, off in the distance. A very tall man, often marked as a silhouette alone. You'd be surprised to find out it wasn't the Slender Man. In fact, it was a completely different monster that is pretty much the same. It just doesn't have manpuppets and multiple arms.
It's called the Operator.
This tall man drove Alex to nigh insanity over the amount of time that he worked on his movie. He became more irritable and angry around his cast as Jay drifted away from working on the movie with the rest of the group, not ever seeing this all happen to him.
Seeing as how we'll spend most of this from Jay's perspective, I won't spoil Alex's fun times that would come later on. ;)
Jay continues on to view the tapes that Alex had made and collected. There were... oddities. Oddities which were inexplainable. Yes, it shows the Operator man, we'll get that out of the way right now. And, alongside that, Alex slowly spiraling into madness.
On July 22, 2009, after Jay had posted nine consecutive videos entitled entries, not including the Introduction video, responses from another channel called totheark had begun to surface. They were very cryptic videos, codes encasing messages for Jay to unravel and learn about. Meanwhile, Jay was getting heavily entranced with all that was happening around him. Jay decides to head an investigation in search of Alex. Jay's physical health also begins to quickly deteriorate. He has fevers frequently, and falls ill almost constantly. Totheark would slowly reveal more and more, like the fact that he had been stalking Jay since at least the summer of 2006, when the film was being shot.
In October, Jay interviewed Tim to kick off his investigation, under the guise that he only wanted to finish Alex's film. Tim recalled little of his time working on Marble Hornets, most only that he only knew Alex through Brian and that as filming went along he became increasingly angered, to the point of where he would be berating his cast more than filming his movie. Someone was also leaving dead animals in his yard.
Jay would then receive an anonymous tip as to where Brian might have been located. He goes to the location to find a ransacked house. He picks up a multitude of collectibles while there; a pill bottle, a bullet casing, and multiple illustrations. While there, he also has a coughing fit. Totheark films him from behind, Jay unaware. Jay also finds dried blood in the sink in the bathroom. Something horrible must have happened to Brian here.
Jay would later return to the house to find it altered once more. He, himself, was in a disheveled state to find that he was not alone. Another person was there, a masked man, affectionately dubbed by fans as "Masky"; Masky attacked Jay and struggled with him, eventually resulting in Jay's successful self-defense and escape. Jay did, however, try to remove his mask; to no avail. Jay ran out of the house as the camera stopped recording, and he woke up on the side of the road the next morning with no memory of what happened after he had stopped. Jay states that he's realized that something dangerous is going on and he's starting to regret ever getting involved with it now.
A few weeks later, Jay uploads surveillance footage from inside his own home. He goes to bed, but then Masky would break in and take him from his bed for three hours before he would return to it. Totheark would upload a response video showing what happened to him; he had been taken back to the house, where he stared in a trance-like state at the Operator.
Jay then went on to cover the things that he'd found at the house, such as the papers and the bullet casing. The pill bottle was empty now although it was previously half-filled, the bullet casing was now missing and the papers remained intact. On the back of one of them said the words, "AT THE TOWER". In an earlier 2006 tape, a large red tower out in the middle of the woods appears. He plans to go out there eventually.
Jay would then finish uploading the remainder of the 2006 tapes, the last video having a somewhat important clue. Tim appeared in the episode, holding a pill bottle, much reminiscent of the pill bottle found by Jay on his first visit to the house.
Totheark would then reply, urging Jay further to go to the tower. He gave in to the consensus and went, to find yet another 2006 tape at the top of it. He would later hesitantly upload the piece. Hesitantly, as it contained very disturbing content.
That of Seth and Alex running around in a boiler room at night, and Seth being taken by the Operator. Alex makes his final remarks; he's unable to remember what happened after the end of filming, and he's going to burn the tapes and move away.
Jay has no other leads to turn to, thus why he would then return to the house. He decided to go in the day, considering that going there at night seems to be a worse idea. The idea worked out horribly, as he was then teleported throughout the home, chasing about the masked man as night rose quicker than it should have. Eventually Jay was in the same boiler room, trying to find his escape; but only to meet face to face with the Operator. Jay states that his camera has stopped working. He has others, but he also says that it doesn't matter to him anymore. He's done with this; he doesn't want to know the answers anymore.
Totheark would then reply with a video entitled Warning on February 3, 2010. The video contained the masked man, confirming Jay's suspicion that the masked man was the person behind the channel, or at least one of them (he notes that the videos do send mixed messages to him). Jay would then upload a twenty-fourth entry, stating that he felt that he needed to see what was going on one more time, thus leading him back into the investigation; this footage was more surveillance, but it was perhaps stranger than the other. Jay would get up from his sleeping, exit his room, but not come out the other side. He notes there's no way he could've left, considering that all of the exits are blocked. He comes back to his room two hours later and immediately passes out.
Totheark would then hack into Jay's account, giving a horrifying statement; "We will wait for you no more. Control is being taken away from you. From the start, it's been a game for us. Not anymore. I'm coming for you. And you will lead me... to the ark."
This gave Jay a scare. He would then leave his apartment to go to a hotel. Later on that month, Jay reported that he was staying at a hotel hen he got a text from a friend that told him to turn on his television and go to the news channel. What he saw was his apartment building burning down, along with nearly all of his belongings. He believes totheark to be behind the attack.
On April 4, 2010, Jay would then receive a text message from an unknown number, reading "41810".
On April 18, 2010, Jay recorded a short video after having jumped hotels for the past few days, saying that he would be leaving town and that it would be in his best interest to leave all of this behind. This would be his last entry.
That was, until he found a package with a camcorder tape inside of it on his doorstep. Watching it, he found footage of... someone wearing a mask of a skull; then, of Alex with his girlfriend after moving away, Amy Walters, dated only two weeks before; on the day he received the text message. Amy had found his old camcorder from college (where he'd filmed Marble Hornets) and started filming him with it. Amy pushes him for his paranoid behaviour on the camera as he asks her to put it away. By the time she budged, they were already too late; the Operator had been summoned, as the two ran upstairs, and Alex told her to jump out of the window and get down to the street. The video freezes on the Operator before cutting to a frame of a shaking paper, with a written word: "HELP".
Jay, seeing that Alex was still alive, vowed to find him then. He didn't know when he'd be back, either; and he thanked viewers for the help they'd given him. Jay then went silent on all fronts.
Alex Kralie was filming a student film in 2006 entitled Marble Hornets, featuring himself mainly. He acted as a director, writer, editor, actor, and musician on the soundtrack.

Marble Hornets, Pre-Introduction
On June 19, 2009, a Something Awful Forums user going by the screen name of "ce gars", real name Troy Wagner, posted in the Create Paranormal Images Thread. He posted the following, beginning what would be a five year, week long series, running from June 19, 2009 to June 26, 2014:
About two or three years ago, a film school friend of mine, Alex, was working on his first “feature length” movie. It was called Marble Hornets and I think it was about a twenty something returning to his childhood home and recalling events that happened there. It was pretty pretentious film student fare, but I helped out for a few days before my summer classes started, and a few rare occasions after that. Everyone on the set seemed pretty excited to be making it, especially Alex. The set itself was about half a mile away from Alex’s house, roughly a thirty minute drive away from where I lived at the time. It was a pretty heavily wooded area, I guess to give it a sparsely populated small town feel. Most of the movie took place outside.
After about two months of off and on shooting, Alex dropped his pet project completely. It was really sudden when he let me know about it. When I asked him why, he told me it was because of the “unworkable conditions” of where he had picked to shoot. Which struck me as very odd since he had been living around that area since he was eight, and never seemed to have a problem with it. What’s even stranger is that he acted incredibly distant when telling me this news. Soon after, he started avoiding me and from what I hear, everyone else. All he did was sit around his house.
Being a film student as well, I hated to see his work go to waste and decided to talk to him about it a bit more. A few weeks after he had stopped shooting, I finally convinced him to let me come over.
Something about him was worse than I’d originally thought. He had lost a good bit of weight, and looked pretty sickly. I pretended like I didn’t notice and we just hung out for awhile. Right before I left, I asked him about Marble Hornets and what he was planning on doing with all of his tapes of raw footage. With almost no hesitation, he simply said “burn them”.
This caught me off guard. When I asked why he didn’t just archive them for B-roll in future projects, he just said he never wanted to work with the footage again. He was completely serious about this. I couldn’t understand why he’d just want to get rid of it completely. Surely it wasn’t all that useless. So I asked if I could take a look at them.
He agreed, but only under the circumstance that I never bring them back to him, and never discuss what was on them with him. He also highly discouraged me from showing any of it to anyone else. I laughed at this, and said that he must have accidentally made The Ring or something with the way he was talking. He didn’t acknowledge this and brought me up to his attic, where he was storing the pile of tapes.
There were tons of them. He grabbed a couple of plastic shopping bags and piled the tapes in and gave them to me, then shooed me out of the attic. Right as I was walking out the door, he said, in the most serious tone I’ve ever heard from someone, “I’m not kidding, don’t ever bring this up around me again.”
Alex’s comment was so sudden that I didn’t have time to react before he had closed the door on me. He transferred to an out of state school soon after that and I haven’t seen him since.
I filed the tapes separately from my others, and was honestly too freaked out to look at them at the time, and eventually forgot about them. But reading about the slender man has peaked my interest again. Maybe it’s what Alex was talking about that day.
I’ve decided to begin going through the tapes later tonight. If I don’t do it now, I probably never will. I’m hoping all I find is an unfinished student film and nothing else. That would sure put me at ease now that I’m thinking about it again.
If there’s interest, I’ll post anything that I find on here.
Original Mythos (Thomas Nealy)
I'm not entirely sure when this one came along, actually. It's purportedly a part of the Original Mythos and I can't find evidence that debunks this, so I'll roll with it.
Thomas Nealy was a very minor character in the whole ordeal, however it's one of the only audio only Original Mythos stories I've come across, if not the only one.
In October 1989, Thomas' daughter, Jessica, went out to play with her friend alone. Later in the day the parents of the friend called him, stating that Jessica wasn't there with them either. He went out into the woods where they lived to search for her, but found a tall, emaciated man in a suit instead. They stared at each other for a while until he realized that it had no face. That was when he ran.
Nealy was later interrogated by a police officer about what had occurred that night. He concurred these same events, eventually breaking down when he started to yell about the same entity being in the room as them. The officer tried to calm him, however, not for long; the officer didn't see what was behind him, being the same being.
The fate of the two is unknown, however, it's obviously supposed to be inferred that the two are deceased.

Original Mythos (Abandoned Journal)
Well, we’re all talking about creepy encounters and stuff. I went on Halloween with a few friends to some supposedly “haunted” locations around town. One of them is some abandoned facility out the outskirts of Indianapolis, allegedly it was once a mental institution. Really weird place, it’s even got a bunch of man-made tunnels underneath it, connecting it to presumably other parts of the property. While in one of the rooms, I was rooting through what was presumably a warden’s stash of crazy people’s journals. I snatched up a few for creepy reading and finally just got into reading one of them. And…it’s kind of unsettling. Here’s where it starts, I’ll transcribe some more if you want. It’s a mix of almost illegible hand-written stuff and then cut-outs of articles or clips of typed-up papers.
“As an avid researcher of the occult and paranormal, the reports of a tall, thin man had once intrigued me. Once enthralled me. My lust, my craving for knowledge has now been my undoing. I will share with you what I know so that maybe my family will see.
They will see!
If you are not strong of mind, if you are not prepared to deal with the gaze of the unknown then stop. Stop! And if you go on, I hope you have a god to beg. I don’t. Not anymore.
Where is he!
These are my notes, my findings. I have drudged them up from the the abyss, and I have brought onto myself a monster. Please, this is your last chance to stop. To stop before it… he… finds you. What will you bring to yourself?
What will you bring to me!

18 JULY 1997
Small town – Middlefork, Kentucky. Several months ago, two young children, Leslie Green and her brother Alan, disappeared while playing in the river. The mother, Annie, said she suddenly did not hear the children anymore. The father, Terence, rose immediately with a shotgun and headed off to find his children. This was mid-afternoon. Annie would never see her family alive again.
JM: “Now, uh, Annie-”
AG: “Missus G-G-Green. You… it… he… y’all so high…”
JM: “High? Mrs Green, do you mean tall?”
AG: “Tall. He were so.”
JM: “Now, Mrs. Green, the police gave up on your claim. Or rather, just said Terence had planned this all out. Had the children leave to meet him for a game then killed them both and himself?”
AG: “Oh God, no no. No, God… no. Terence was such a kind boy. Only kept that gun to ward off the pill poppers. He loved them children.”
JM: “I believe you, Annie. I want you, I need you to tell me what happened.”
AG: “After… after Terence left, it was hours. Much after dark. I hears a clawing at the door. I don’t think too much of it, we gets the coons around here sometimes. They smell a stew or food, try to get inside. But it jest kept goin’.”
JM: “Then?”
AG: “It stops. For a minute then I hears it at the window. Now I’m afraid, I reckon it’s not the coons. All… I see in the streetlight is a man. He were so tall…”
JM: “Was it your husband?”
AG: “No, no… Terence not so tall. This man… he were so slender, so thin. I see him try to push the window, to break it. All a sudden, there’s the sound of a shotgun. I hear the buckshot spray against the side of the house and the man in the light lopes away. I hear the shotgun fire again. A pause, then two more times. Don’t hear it no more.”
JM: “Now, here’s why I’m on your side, Annie. Your husband and the kids, they were… grotesquely mutilated.”
AG: (in tears) “I jest dun know what kinda man could do that to his fellow. The kids, they was all cut up and strung in the trees. Terence, he were cut open. You could see inside his body! His guts, his organs, they were all there. But they had all been cut off, like someone had took them out then jammed ’em back in!”
The transcript stops there, Annie gets hysterical, and the ward’s security has to sedate her.

The story of the Greens interested me fiercely but nobody in the town was willing to talk. That night, I called my children and wife. I told them how very much I loved them.
And I told them to lock the doors.”

Original Mythos (The Green Man)
Long ago, in the mists of prehistoric Eurasia, the Green Man lived among the trees and leaves. He loved those whose hearts were glad, and stayed near them. He especially delighted in children, who were able to see him easily, while those who had given up that sight had to call out his name at special times for him to appear to them. But he was always there, just the same. For many centuries, the Green Man lived alongside the people in peace and happiness. He would often appear during festival times; their gay music and dancing he could not resist. During these times he would grant favors to those he found special. Most often these were a prosperous harvest and a large family to bring it in. Many travelers of lonely roads tell of meeting the Green Man. Being weary, they would stop to rest. Suddenly one of them would notice an odd tree or shape among the branches. Once seen, the Green Man would come forward and bow deeply to the travelers. All who were in his presence felt gladness. He would refresh them with his soothing branches and before they knew it, they were at their destination! There are countless tales of the miraculous deeds of the Green Man. But not one mentions what ultimately became of him. During the middle ages, churches carved images of his face into their buildings. He was more and more often seen by the people as an evil thing, something that did not fit into their daily lives. Still, during many ceremonies he was named. He did not come often. The times he did come, he was of lesser countenance than described by the grandfathers. He had a wilting, dying look, which was trying to look upon. Those who still took counsel with him returned mad, more often than not.
