History WMG / SpookysJumpScareMansion

[[WMG:.Alternatively, GL Labs was the organization behind Film/TheCabinInTheWoods]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed in the case of the Romantic Victim with the July 4 update. A new set of notes details the fact that he's dead, and he doesn't realize it until Spooky takes away his pen and tells him to get back to work.]]

** Fully Jossed by Dollhouse, [[spoiler: It's actually Spooky's Father]]

* Ghost Ending: Spooky calls you a recruit in this ending, just like in the DLC. As for the ability to hold an axe[[spoiler: or sword]], a piece of official art shows Spooky herself holding a big knife. The reason you can die? You don’t. Your soul just “wanders an endless maze” on the Game Over screen, and considering the occult, demonic properties of the hospital, it could be just as dangerous to wandering souls as it is to living bodies...
* Specimen Ending: The player is still wandering the mansion and can use the axe[[spoiler: or sword]] against some of the monsters. [[spoiler:Considering the New Game+ allows you to pick up the sword, and the Specimen Ending requires you to be aggressive towards the other specimens with the axe, the New Game+ could be post-Specimen Ending. Our violent specimen protagonist just wants to be more effective.]]

** Considering that she's a ghost, this might be a small hint that she's [[GhostAmnesia starting to fade away/move on]].

"Mall of Spook" requires you to constantly kill people to refill a "health bar", so it probably would be the case. She never uses it, however, as [[spoiler: it would prevent her from having her ghost army]].

[[WMG:Ume Ito, from the mini game Sunshine Academy, is Spooky’s original self.]]
She was a Japanese student who could speak very good English. Ume, however, always wanted to scare someone, so she put on makeup/an ExpressiveMask and hair dye to resemble a ghost. She never successfully scared anyone, of course. One day, a transfer student from America came, and they bonded. A few days later, she attempted to scare him- [[MuggingTheMonster not realizing he has PTSD]] (and may have transferred for reasons related to that). He [[AccidentalMurder shot her]], then after [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizing what he just did]], broke down and began [[RapeAsDrama violating]] her, trying to convince himself that nothing’s wrong, and just lost it. Ume was brought to Karamari Hospital in a vain attempt to save her. When that failed, her parents tried bringing her back via occult ritual- [[CameBackWrong resulting in]] [[CuteAndPsycho the Spooky we know now]].

Ume’s story can be found in the mini game Sunshine Academy. The first play through retells Ume’s actual experience, while all subsequent playthroughs are WhatCouldHaveBeen. The second ending, in which Ume survives by leaving the creepy protagonist, is Spooky imagining what could have happened if she’d been smarter. Ume’s original body, meanwhile, was turned by Spooky and the researchers into the secret specimen Paina.

She did not die immediately, acccording to the DLC; Karamari Hospital is where her parents took her, where they did the occult ressurection ritual, and where her [[SoulJar Soul Gem]] subsequently shattered. The Specimens are either her {{familiar}}s or fellow witches. This is also why she has [[EasterEgg a picture of Kyubey in Specimen 4’s area]]. Her wish to Kyubey was to finally scare someone. [[JackassGenie And she did]], [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor resulting in her death]], because [[Website/SFDebris Bunnycat’s a dick]].
** And the Cat is an Incubator. Specifically, the one she made the contract with.

After killing Specimen 9 and being made into a new Specimen by Spooky, The Protagonist now wanders their new home, similar to Specimen 9, who didn't have a designated area either. This is why they have the axe at the start of the game, and why they're still prone to attacks from the other Specimens. Because The Protagonist's particular trait that qualifies them as a Specimen is their relentless, violent nature, the other Specimens are actually simply protecting themselves from you.\

[[WMG:The Demon Girl in Katamari Hospital is [[spoiler: the good part of Spooky.]]]]
This theory has probably been done before, but it's not on here. [[spoiler: The Demon Girl sounds a lot like Spooky when you listen to her, and she seems much nicer. Either it's Spooky messing with us (which is much more possible than this troper would like) or it's a part of Spooky that got split off from her when she was resurrected. As the notes in the Hospital suggest, Spooky's father tried to resurrect his daughter through occult rituals. But something [[WentHorriblyWrong went horribly wrong.]] And thus, his daughter was split into two spirits; the innocent and shy Demon Girl, and the psychopathic and narcissistic Spooky.]]

[[WMG: Spookys Dad just wanted to say goodbye.]]

** Sorta confirmed, as one of the notes in Karamari Hospital says
"I will turn [the device][[note]]referring to a machine he planned to use to tether Spooky to the earth[[/note]] off and
let you return to heaven after your
mother and I get to see you again." While he may have had other things to say to her, his goodbyes were not out of the question

His own notes say as much and to accomplish that he performed a ritual that ripped his daughter back out of the afterlife. The idea was simply to summon her so that her parents could say goodbye one last time but they didn't really comprehend the forces they were tampering with. Her father poorly copied rituals without doing background research, like someone assembling a computer purely by instruction without actually understanding why the parts are assembled the way they are. Either by selecting the wrong ritual or substituting ingredients he managed to screw it up very badly and instead of simply summoning her he literally pulled her soul out of wherever it went leaving a hole in the wall between the mortal world and the hereafter. Spooky found herself barred from the afterlife and unable to find anyone who would take her seriously which combined with the emotional trauma of being pulled back to the living world lead to her monstrous behavior. The Hospital staff were exposed to whatever managed to find its way in from the hole left behind resulting in possessions and mutilations.

[[WMG:GL Labs is a subsidiary of the Wiki/{{SCP Foundation}}]]

So far, it's implied that Spooky isn't as cute and friendly as she looks. She shows a degree of callousness towards her researchers, clearly doesn't want you to succeed, and shows an AxCrazy bent in the minigames. It's also been hinted at with Specimen 11 that the researchers need people to die in the house. Perhaps once you're almost at the end it triggers a VillainousBreakdown, and Spooky goes after you personally. The [[KnifeNut knife]] seen in the "Mall of the Spook" minigame and a [[http://spookys-house-of-jump-scares.wikia.com/wiki/File:Spooky-s-house-of-jump-scares-update-poster-by-stylishkira.png update image]] may be {{Foreshadowing}} on how she kills you.

[[WMG:As of the ending of the game, Spooky becomes an ally to to the protagonist]]

[[WMG:Spooky is either an anti-villain/anti-hero or VillianProtagonist.]]

This theory has probably been done before, but it's not on here. [[spoiler: The Demon Girl sounds a lot like Spooky when you listen to her, and she seems much nicer. Either it's Spooky messing with us (which is much more possible than this troper would like) or it's a part of Spooky that got split off from her when she was resurrected.
