* "seance". While working on a book report for school, Milo and Kevin begin messing around with an OujiaBoard to kill some time. Starts off pretty normal, but things start getting weird after Milo asks if his father Robert is alive, to which the board responds H E L I V E S. Then, Kevin asks the board about Slender Man, in which the board responds by saying it is "ravenous" and "everywhere". What's the scary part, you ask? Specifically, when Kevin becomes possessed by the Observer for the first time in his life, with his Keeper wrapping his arms around him. Understandably, Milo bolts out and hides out in the bathroom...[[LaserGuidedAmnesia and then somehow forgets about the whole situation, even after writing everything down]].

[[folder:Videos]]

** [[DebutQueue Swain's first appearance]] on the channel has him [[TheReveal removing]] [[HopeSpot his]] smiling theater mask for the first time, that reveals ''another'' theater mask...[[TheUnreveal that appears to have set on fire, and then glued to his face]]. FacialHorror aside, that scene makes you wonder...what kind of person ''is'' Swain [[StepfordSmiler behind that smile we see?]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K25wlyCkVk And soon is now here.]] Get ready to shit yourself, because the Collective come in with ''DEATHTRAPEXODUS'', one of the freakiest videos ever released on the channel, and takes VisualEffectsOfAwesome up to 15 new levels.

* "tendrils" starts out with a dream Milo had regarding Slender Man. Specifically, [[DreamingOfThingsToCome a dream involving Noah running past him on the Boardwalk]], as Slendy comes behind him and wraps his CombatTentacles around him, cutting off his air supply. A few minutes after that dream, Milo wakes up and becomes aware of Oscar standing still in front of his window. Milo then explains that there has been a man in a hoodie walking down his street every night at around 4 AM, and is implied to have been taking pictures of Milo.

* One of the things that makes this series so scary is the sheer amount of ''powerlessness'' Noah has. There is literally, ''nothing'' he can do to fight against this threat. He is surrounded by beings that completely outclass him in every way. He can't strike back at them; all he can do is react. Nothing he does will make them go away, no matter how hard he tries. He is completely at their mercy, and it is only their love of "games" that keep him from getting taken.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TribeTwelve#p/u/15/801w7yRGEYk Box Analysis]]. The second audio track. Then, the tape. Oh, and if that wasn't bad enough, the key Noah found in the box? [[spoiler: It opens his garage door.]] Then, to top it off, the end of the video is accompanied by slight audio-visual distortion.
* [[http://tribetwelve.wikia.com/wiki/Thanksgiving_Footage:_Day_2 Thanksgiving Footage, Day 2.]] While staying at a viewer's house during Thanksgiving, Noah is pulled from his bed in the middle of the night without waking up. His friend Sarah finds him standing on her porch, his tee-shirt torn and splattered with blood, giggling and [[SlasherSmile grinning maniacally.]] [[spoiler: And holding a big knife. And then, as the picture distorts, he ''charges at her''.]]

** As Sarah drops the camera, right before it turns off, we catch a few frames showing closeups of [[spoiler: Noah's face, plastered with an insane, demented SlasherSmile.]]
** [[spoiler: [[FreezeFrameBonus HAVING FUN?]]]]
** The video's description makes it worse: [[spoiler: "I don't know what the fuck took me, where I went, or what I did. I just remember regaining consciousness, covered in blood and holding a knife as Sarah cried in the corner of the living room. It looks as if this 'Observer' bastard is the likely cause of everything. I'm so sorry Sarah. Please forgive me for whatever happened, it wasn't me that night."]]
** Even worse: [[spoiler:Noah later reveals that the blood on him was Kat's, and that he brutally murdered her with that knife while BrainwashedAndCrazy. Given the condition of his shirt and the Observer confirming that some of the blood was Noah's, it must have been absolutely horrible death, with her fighting death every inch of the way]].

** [[spoiler:Sorry.... sorry.... so... sorry... help... ''[gurgling]'']]
** [[spoiler:Heads into Tearjerker territory when you realize just who is calling for help and why...]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4ioH3ifdEhw#! Nature Trail Visit]]. [[spoiler: Slendy is [[DaylightHorror no less frightening on a brightly-lit path]].]]
** Not to mention the fact that [[spoiler: ''the trail itself'' seems to take on AlienGeometries!]]
** [[ParanoiaFuel "HELLOTHERE NOAH. WE CAN SEE YOU FROM UP HERE".]] [[spoiler: They aren't bluffing. Noah wrecks his bike, loses consciousness, and wakes up a week later outside his house...with zero memory of the past seven days.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtFwR_pNDL4&feature=feedu Northern Trip Footage]]. [[spoiler: Slender Man on a plane, tentacles a wavin' and people screaming with distortion everywhere.]] Sounds like fun!

** Nice bit of FridgeHorror: The little girl is the only one that remembers Slendy. Remember who Slendy's favourite victims are in the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos mythos]]? Now look at what happened to [[spoiler:Milo and his mother]] as children. You're welcome.

** Noah's empty declaration in the car: "I'm not gonna leave the [hotel] room. I'm just gonna stay and I'm gonna ride this out...I'll stay for a week or two, if I have to." [[spoiler: Observer: [[EvilLaugh IF YOU SAY SO]].]]

*** The fact that the Observer was [[spoiler: Kevin]], a person that Noah not only trusted, but was one of the few sane people Noah knew. Now, look around you. ''Are you sure you know your friends and family that well? [[ParanoiaFuel One could be a member of the Collective and you wouldn't ever know it...]]''

*** [[spoiler: And Firebrand is Noah. Or at least, a future version of him.]]

* [[http://youtu.be/alHDQZRV4CU Mary Asher Phone Call]]. This is where the shit seriously hits the fan. [[spoiler: The day before Noah's birthday, he gets a phone call from Milo's mother, who reveals that the Slender Man has been visiting her since she was a child -- and that Milo's body actually ''vanished'' from the morgue before the funeral. Apparently, the cremated ashes were those of a cat.]]
** The true terror comes after they have a vicious argument and Mary hangs up: [[spoiler: Noah hears the doorbell and gets his gun ready [[FreezeFrameBonus (not noticing Slender Man standing in his closet)]]; he runs to the door, finds no one there...and turns around to see Slender Man standing ''right across the hall''. Noah fires off four shots, which doesn't even make the faceless terror flinch...then, in a subversion of OffscreenTeleportation, Slender Man freaking ''bullrushes Noah and knocks him down''! And then Noah gets back up, and we see Slender Man has entered full-on CombatTentacles mode. Understandably, Noah runs like hell.]]
*** [[spoiler: YOU MISSED]]
*** The most terrifying part is that [[spoiler: this is the closest we've seen Slender Man so far, giving us a good view of [[UncannyValley a head that has the shape of a face, with none of the features]]. This is also the closest that we've seen his tentacles.]]
** According to Mary, [[spoiler: the Collective has had their eye on Noah ''since birth'', has been monitoring his every move throughout his entire life, and is '''''in his house watching him as they speak.''''']] ParanoiaFuel of the highest caliber.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugyZCsR3nNk&feature=share&list=ULugyZCsR3nNk Several Months of Hell]] is a recap of events following November 11th on Noah's other accounts (Twitter and Stickam). Thus, mostly a BreatherEpisode. Except for around 2:53 [[spoiler: when The Observer's head pops up from behind Noah's chair]] and at the end [[spoiler: when his hand pops up, wagging his finger to the camera]]. He was in the room the entire time!

* The frame at the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRqxxKvnIP4&feature=share&list=ULWRqxxKvnIP4 The Manifest]], showing that The Observer was right behind Noah that whole conversation. It's also pretty unnerving to think of how much worse things will get when Noah has to encounter [[spoiler: the cult from ''WebVideo/DarkHarvest'']].

** Translation: Noah meets [[spoiler:the head of the Slendy cult. After a conversation that pisses off both parties, Noah turns to leave and [[OhCrap finds himself confronted by the entire cult.]] Right after Noah lets some information slip that the cult ''really'' didn't need to know, Slendy makes a personal appearance, to the amazement of the cult. As they bow and chant, one of them runs up and begs to be taken to "the fourth world". Slender Man obliges -- and makes him disappear, leaving only his clothes and mask behind. While the cult seems split between "freaked out" and "it's a miracle", Noah decides to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere GTFO]]. The second he turns his back, Slendy starts doing something *really* horrible (if the screams are any indication). ]][[FromBadToWorse And that's only the halfway point!]]

** Eventually, Alex is able to [[HopeSpot turn the car on for a few seconds]], [[spoiler: only for a dead cult member to be '''''thrown at the car by Slender Man''''', and then, in an aversion of OffscreenTeleportation, get sent to a beach 3 days into the future, [[NothingIsScarier but not without a terrifying closeup of Mr. Slim himself]].]]

* According to his Twitter, Noah got a letter with [[http://twitpic.com/bbubey this]] written in the back. [[spoiler:It really changes your perspective [[AndIMustScream on the Observer...]]]]
* It's subtle, but something about the manic editing and text in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4juLfLkMmI INTERCEPTION]] is incredibly unnerving. It just gives you the impression that the Observer is ''incredibly'' pissed off. [[spoiler: Not to mention his reaction to Firebrand's interference. Jeezum.]]

* Firebrand's ''face''. Even though [[spoiler:he's apparently a good guy]], it is still the creepiest face out of the entire Collective.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5mV_g504mA&list=UUAXKoxJLJj-Zm-Ulk4jRUJw&index=1 The Live Stream Incident]] just goes from bad to worse starting at 19:36. [[spoiler: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Filming yourself]] [[MindScrew has never been more horrifyingly mindscrewy.]]]]
** For Noah, there was the reveal of Firebrand's true identity: [[spoiler:Firebrand is actually Noah, seemingly from the future.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-Vg7oCZvlA DEUS EX MACHINA]] reveals how Firebrand became free: [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID HABIT]] helped him.]] Knowing how [[spoiler:[[TheSociopath HABIT]]]] [[KillEmAll works,]] Firebrand's freedom may not be such a godsend after all...
** It also begs the question: [[spoiler: just ''how bad'' are the Administrator's plans for humanity if Firebrand is willing to side with ''HABIT'' to put a stop to them?]]
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_z4PkBd77Q Obituary]], Noah is about to open the [[https://twitter.com/TribeTwelve/status/373190480386719744/photo/1 Obituary letter]] when he receives a phone call revealing that [[spoiler: Mary Asher was found dead of a bullet wound in her car in a lake, with tape over her eyes to make her resemble Cursor.]] The letter's contents include ''pictures of the scene'', and a rhyme telling Noah to answer the door. [[spoiler: A figure, likely Mr. Scars, appears in the doorway before Noah reads it, and then it turns out that the briefcase has arrived.]]
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkBXtObnwB4 Milo's Tape]], [[spoiler: while chasing Milo, Slender Man actually starts making ''growling'' noises. It's rather unnerving for viewers used to Slender Man being [[TheVoiceless silent]].]]

** The Slendy appearances aren't even the half of it. ''Milo's Tape'' is the only video in the Slenderverse to come with a graphic content warning in the description. That's for a good reason. [[spoiler: We get to see ''exactly'' why Milo is known as "Mr. Scars": after being resurrected by the Collective, he attempts suicide a second time by slashing his wrists with a box cutter. This is shown entirely on-camera in closeup, sans GoryDiscretionShot.]]
*** [[spoiler: In the video's final act, Milo (under the sway of the Collective) lures his mother, Mary Asher, to an abandoned house and shoots her to death -- after revealing himself to be her prophesied killer. Once he realizes what he's done, he falls apart ''completely''.]]
*** Milo's horribly raspy, almost inhuman voice. [[spoiler: The hidden FreezeFrameBonus at the video's end reveals it to be caused by a ''slit throat''. Apparently, being resurrected by the Administrator leaves all your death wounds intact.]]
---->[[spoiler: It still hurts.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGbvzdKBIPQ Severance.]] Noah receives a letter from HABIT, who offers his personal assistance -- [[spoiler: by warping Noah to his "Murder House" for a little chat. While HABIT doesn't physically harm him, the fact that Noah spends the entire video at the mercy of the most famously psychotic [[TheSociopath monster]] in the Slenderverse is terrifying.]]
** The scene where Noah gets teleported is creepy enough in its own right. [[spoiler: HABIT lures Noah into the hallway by banging on a closet door, which he opens; cue the [[MindScrew space warping,]] which takes Noah from a closet in his own house to someone's laundry room -- where the lights blow out, leaving him in total darkness. Then the most familiar EvilLaugh in the Slenderverse sounds, and Noah opens the laundry room door -- and finds himself in HABIT's home base, face-to-face with the monster himself.]]
*** [[spoiler: KNOCK KNOCK / [[EvilLaugh WHO'S THERE?]]]]

*** Seriously, ''who was that guy in the bathroom?!'' [[spoiler: Milo/Mr. Scars]]? Vinny? Some poor bastard off the street? WHO, Goddammit?!
*** The most popular theory is that it's [[spoiler: [[WebVideo/MLAndersen0 Michael Andersen]].]] Given that that series hasn't updated in a year (and that the most recent video shows [[spoiler: Michael being attacked by the Slender Man]]), that ''really'' doesn't bode well.
*** Well, [[spoiler: WebVideo/MLAndersen]] has returned from its hiatus, and it appears that [[spoiler: Michael]] is alive and well. On the other hand, the video description does say it was filmed months ago....
*** Update: [[spoiler: it ''is'' one of the Andersen brothers. HABIT lured Shaun to his house, drugged him, tortured him to death in the attic, and then posted the videos to lure ''Michael'' to the house as well. (The latest update suggests that he may already have taken the bait -- and that HABIT may have MindRaped him.)]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E4TNOfzfag Bridge to Nowhere]], the continuation of Severance, might be unsettling [[UpToEleven even by Slenderverse standards]]! You get the usual tricks, being sent to strange locations through timespace, nosebleeds, gradually going mad, and... [[spoiler: wait, what's that noise? This isn't an Observer video, why's that sound playing?]] And... [[spoiler: is Noah [[SanitySlippage talking to bugs]]?!]]
** [[spoiler: Jeff, yes [[WebVideo/EverymanHybrid THAT]] Jeff, makes an appearances at around 8:05 when Noah gets to the eponymous bridge, telling Noah not to listen to "them" and the only way to stop them is to kill himself. Then he runs off and HABIT appears; Noah tries to run away but HABIT [[FlashStep flash steps]] over to him and grabs his arm, gets uncomfortably close to Noah, then proceeds to do his usual thing. When Noah asks how Jeff can be there and what this place is, HABIT just gives him non-answers that vaguely hint that this is [[EldritchLocation a dimension]] where he resides. Then he mentions "rounding up" Jeff and the others before he sends Noah home.]]
*** The implications of that scene are deeply disturbing, in more ways than one: [[spoiler: it suggests that the souls of HABIT's most recent victims are trapped in a hellish dimension, unable to move on, forced to constantly flee from the same being that killed them -- or endure unimaginable torture at his hands.]]
** Watch carefully while Noah attempts to navigate the "netherworld": [[spoiler: HABIT is [[http://halodudette.tumblr.com/post/76707544579/habit-moments-you-may-have-missed-the-first-one following him]]]] ''[[spoiler: [[ParanoiaFuel the entire time.]]]]''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wZVMVcftB4 Fortunes.]] This is where absolute ParanoiaFuel hits the fan. Noah reveals that he, after a year in a half, has gone through a truly horrifying SanitySlippage. The unhinged tone of his voice is guaranteed to give you chills. [[spoiler: It doesn't help that his inflection and mannerisms are more than a bit similar to HABIT's]]

** The constant flashes of hidden frames are unsettling enough. And then you notice shots of [[spoiler: Firebrand, [[HesBack The Observer]], and the Slender Man -- [[http://causticbotanist.tumblr.com/post/105066816600/c with the body of a Giant Spider]].]]
** The last fortune Noah opens is absolute NightmareFuel. Rather that cryptic notes, useless knowledge, or teasing future events, [[spoiler: the fortune says just one word: [[NothingIsScarier run.]]]]
** The message at the very end: [[spoiler: Stay in Wonderland, and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.]]

* On September 18, Noah himself [[https://twitter.com/TribeTwelve/status/644725592470847488 tweeted]]: [[spoiler: "back. since sep 4. a week it says. but it was longer. a month. counted the days. saw things. dont even want to touch camera. i was in hell.]] Given that Noah didn't even refer to [[spoiler: HABIT's home dimension]] (which was positively ''skin-crawling'') as being hellish, what he must have encountered must have been unspeakably horrible.

** During one of the many nights when the Journal wakes Noah up and he ends up going to the fridge. [[spoiler: Then the Journal starts whispering that "He's behind you.", and when Noah closes the fridge door, the Observer is standing right behind it. He slowly follows Noah back into his room and at one point, pulls out a knife and looks like he's almost ready to plunge it into Noah. Then the scene cuts to Noah falling into his bed with the sound of Observer's maniacal cackling.]]
** Later in the video, the Observer appears to watch Noah sleep for what appears to be for a few hours. Pretty much normal, until [[spoiler: his head suddenly snaps towards where the camera is and suddenly appears in front of it, covering the entire screen with his face and screaming in a high pitched voice:"'''COME TO THE BOARDWALK WITH US NOAH'''", before falling on the floor laughing.]]

** Then there's the crawlspace itself. [[spoiler: The fact that the desk that Noah sits at to upload/edit videos acts as a shortcut to the Boardwalk, the ''last'' place Noah wants to be, is absolutely '''screeching''' with ParanoiaFuel.]]

** Speaking of the title of the video, guess what happens to Noah in this video? That's right, [[spoiler: when trying to get off the watchtower to obtain Milo's journal, the Observer pushes him over the railing, where Noah falls through the air for a solid ''25 seconds'' before hitting the ground.]]
*** Someone [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TribeTwelve/comments/4reapn/how_far_did_noah_fall/ did the math]] and found out that [[spoiler: Noah fell 1062.33 meters, or 3485.3 feet. That ''1.3 Burj Khalifas'']]

--->'''Future!Noah:''' '''NOAH!''' ''Listen to me for once in your miserable fucking life!'' You make it like the whole world is out to eat you. That they're out to get you because you looked too deep down the rabbit hole and you fell in. Like-Like you're rolling up that boulder up the hill, over and over, only for it to fall down- you gotta roll it up again. Over and over, like your whole life's a ''sick fucking joke'', meant for the entertainment of people watching on the internet behind their screens, all safe. Well, you know what? I got good news for you... ''(Future!Noah [[spoiler: pulls out a sword]])'' [[DissonantSerenity You're absolutely right!]]

* "seance". While working on a book report for school, Milo and Kevin begin messing around with an OujiaBoard to kill some time. Starts off pretty normal, but things start getting weird after Milo asks if his father Robert is alive, to which the board responds [[spoiler: H E L I V E S]]. Then, Kevin asks the board about Slender Man, in which the board responds by saying it is "ravenous" and "everywhere". What's the scary part, you ask? [[spoiler: Specifically, when Kevin becomes possessed by the Observer for the first time in his life, with his Keeper wrapping his arms around him.]] Understandably, Milo bolts out and hides out in the bathroom...[[LaserGuidedAmnesia and then somehow forgets about the whole situation, even after writing everything down]].

* "tendrils" starts out with a dream Milo had regarding Slender Man. Specifically, a dream involving

** Later on, Milo goes into excruciating detail into [[Squick how he shits out the key to his journal]]. It's as disgusting as it is horrifying.

* "Rendezvouz". If you thought Noah's SanitySlippage was bad before, look no further than here. It ranges from his flippant dismissal to the fortunes left to him, to him ''[[ExtremeOmnivore eating leaves off the ground]]'' out of sheer desperation.

*

** The boardwalk in this episode is more creepy and unnerving than anything seen previously. This is demonstrated when Noah is wandering around the place, and discovers a blade of grass that is moving very differently from the area around it, and ''not'' in a way that it should. It's even worse in the camera's vision, [[OminousCameraGlitch which is conveniently starting to malfunction]]. While Noah is trying to fix it, the distortion shows some terrifying things, which includes [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent Slender Man just standing there]], [[JumpScare a random group of eyes inside Noah's house accompanied with laughter]], and '''''[[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere a random guy in a hoodie]]''''' who knocks him down. Granted, Noah seems more annoyed by him than scared, but it doesn't change how unexpected that dude was.

* "flu". Milo reveals even more about what happened after that entry in 2004. During a time while he's recovering from the side effects of his InstantSedation, Milo discovers his mother looming over him, demanding that he tell her who Mr. Scars is.

** Later on, Noah discovers another fortune on the Boardwalk after a long time of wandering about. When he goes to to examine it, a whistle suddenly echoes in front of him, which is revealed to belong to none other than our good ol' pal Observer, [[DissonantSerenity who claims that Noah's gonna love what he has to show him]]. Understandably terrified, Noah attempts to turn back, only to find that Slender Man has appeared behind him. Realizing that two have him cornered, Noah can do nothing but hysterically run up the Observation tower next to him as Observer and Slendy (who has now transformed into [[GiantSpider Mongo]] at this point to get away from them. If that tower wasn't there, [[NothingIsScarier who knows what the two would've done to him?]]

**

** Eventually, Alex is able to [[HopeSpot turn the car on for a few seconds]], [[spoiler: only for a dead cult member to be '''''thrown at the car by Slender Man''''', and then, in an aversion of [[OffscreenTeleportation]], get sent to a beach 3 days into the future, [[NothingIsScarier but not without a terrifying closeup of Mr. Slim himself]].]]

* [[https://twitter.com/TribeTwelve/status/1003111826857578496 These two tweets]] Noah made in June of 2018 just ''scream'' TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou.

** Even worse? They're just playing with him. Noah is exhausting all his resources, has lost so much, seen people die, has been mind controlled, stalked, and reality warped all over the place, turning him into a complete and utter wreck as a person. He has been put through so much, lost so many of his loved ones and has had his life destroyed because of the Collective and they're not even ''trying''. It almost fades into TearJerker territory is it wasn't so horrifying.

--->'''Milo: Who can I trust? Who can I trust?'''

*** --->'''Milo: Who can I trust? Who can I trust?'''

* At long last, we get to hear about the [[SinkingShipScenario Boat Incident]] in Milo's entry "capsize" after only getting brief mentions of it from both Noah and Scriniarii. And it's nothing short of both horrifying and tearjerking. It starts out innocent enough, with the Maxwell, Asher, Adler, and Henderson families cruising down the harbor in the yacht, until something explodes, resulting in the boat tipping over. Although most of the family manages to make it out fine, the AdultFear is still strong.
