Line #23 NightmareFuel/ClearLakes44


1	[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkZDs8CBDkk Broadcast #1]]. From the start, the creepy visuals make it clear that something is off about whatever Clear Lakes 44 is.
2	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwOmZc-eVl8 Broadcast #2]]. We see an old man, rocking on a chair. Nothing wrong there...until you notice that the light shining on him makes it look like he has [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos no face.]] And then there's the shadow that steps into frame...
3	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4DCfEgeI3U&feature=youtu.be brian_test.wmv]] An unlisted video posted on Alex's blog on the ''MH'' site (if you login) uploaded to the main channel, containing creepy music and a threatening message.
4	-->"Listen down the hallway\
5	When you're all alone\
6	There are quiet footsteps coming\
7	Today they're in your home"
8	* Even worse since that video was posted on the blog after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfUubwjhI2I&feature=youtu.be this innocent one]], so you don't expect something so grim and fear-inducing.
9	** The first video isn't as innocent as you might think when you read the description and upload date. July 15, 2015 "Some shots I got while location scouting for my upcoming film Marble Hornets." [[spoiler:Isn't the only person making a film under that name long dead?]]
10	* The header of the site's home page reads, "Pending investigation, some of this site is not available. If you have authorized access, please contact the admin at dscott3872@gmail.com" Clearly, this is taking place after ''Marble Hornets''. [[NothingIsScarier So who the hell is updating the site, and]] ''[[NothingIsScarier why?]]''
11	** E-mailing dscott3872@gmail.com gets you an automated message that reads:
12	---> Thank you for your email. I am currently out of the office until DD/MM/YYYY. I will be happy to respond to you once
13	--->[[spoiler: [[ArcWords there are footsteps]]]]
14	** Logging into the site via the director sign in and sending an e-mail gets you a message that reads:
15	--->''Please desist accessing this website as you are not an authorized user. Your information has been forwarded to''
16	--->''[[spoiler: listen]]''
17	--->''[[spoiler: there are footsteps]]''
18	** Now, typing in the link to the site just brings us to a black screen with a single message...
19	---> [[spoiler: [[NothingIsScarier please leave]]]]
20	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aHDB7g3dME Broadcast #5 - Walker]]. We learn a little more about the hood-wearing figure, including the fact [[spoiler:their face appears as a bunch of static on cameras, and they can apparently either run through walls or ''[[OffscreenTeleportation teleport]]''.]]
21	** The "camera", or whatever we're seeing through, follows Walker ''everywhere.'' It starts out relatively plausible, but then actually moves and [[spoiler: jumps into buildings]] to keep up with them.
22	** The ending of this broadcast is especially creepy: [[spoiler:Walker turns their head towards the camera, but they're not [[AsideGlance looking at]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall the viewer]], but instead looking at the door, which then opens, consuming the room in light. This urges Walker to scamper away, as the already scary audio distortion starts to peak...and then the video [[NothingIsScarier abruptly]] [[LastNoteNightmare ends]]. [[GainaxEnding Strangely bizarre, absurd and creepy]], all at the same time]].
23	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLSVHabHzRc Broadcast #6 - Birdwatcher]]. In this broadcast, Birdwatcher answers knocking at his door, only to look behind him and see [[spoiler:a dark, glitchy figure with two bright, flashing eyes. After a short moment of standing still, the figure suddenly leaps onto Birdwatcher, leaving his fate unknown until the next broadcast.]]
24	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3fzE8hND7k Broadcast #7 - Birdwatcher]]. The cameras, having already done just about everything else cameras shouldn't be able to do, [[spoiler:can now see out of the eyes of other individual people.]]
25	** The ending of the broadcast, where [[spoiler:Birdwatcher enters a strange, distorted place through a door in his own home. Again, [[NothingIsScarier we don't know where he was or what happened to him there]]. Especially creepy is the distorted audio that sounds like wind.]]
26	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1-gD6b02Gs Broadcast #8 - Walker]] gives us another eye-view perspective, [[spoiler:from Walker, who attacks an innocent man and [[TheNothingAfterDeath seemingly]] makes him disappear.]]
27	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APOLR4ZO8uQ Broadcast #10 - Walker]]. [[spoiler:In this broadcast, Walker enters Birdwatcher's home at night and appears to attempt to attack him in his sleep, only to be repelled from him by mysterious means.]]
28	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lxxuI5xxL8 Broadcast #11]]. Pretty much the entire broadcast.
29	** The broadcast starts off with a glitched title card, immediately making you notice that something's wrong.
30	** It then cuts to footage of somebody appearing to be fiddling with a cable box and tuning to channel 44, with distorted speech in the background being cut off with sudden bursts of static.
31	** Throughout the broadcast, [[spoiler: a figure with blacked out eyes and a low, distorted voice asks you if "you enjoy watching people suffer", if you "want to see more", and then proceeds to repeatedly ask "what is wrong with you" and whispers that they are "watching you closely" at the end. All of this is said while distorted footage of previous broadcasts plays, with the figure's distorted visage being intercut between clips. Not to mention the creepily slowed down and distorted music and voices.]]
32	** Not only does this episode make it clear that [[spoiler: [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou they know you're watching]], but that they may be watching you as well.]]
33	** [[spoiler: All of the distorted imagery, along with the scrambled "regards" at the end]] could imply that totheark, or somebody related to them, could be the one behind the broadcasts.
34	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DikFC1cY_NI Broadcast #12 - Birdwatcher]] As the Birdwatcher is sleeping in his chair, the camera changes to a different camera angle and the tv suddenly turns on. Birdwatcher wakes up and goes to investigate, when he touches the tv [[spoiler: words can be vaguely made out on the tv as he reaches out to touch it. Upon touching the tv Birdwatcher falls over and gasps in fear at something. Moments later, Walker is standing above him and starts to bend down to the Birdwatcher as the broadcast cuts to static.]]
