[00:00] Black screen.
[00:01] White text appears:

Entry #17
I went back to the house.

[00:10] Cut to footage of outside the house.
[00:14] Jay tries to open the door, but it is locked.
[00:16] Jay can be heard knocking on the door several times.
[00:22] Jay tries the door handle again.
[00:26] Jay walks away from the door.
[00:28] Jay turns off the flashlight. The screen is completely black.
[00:41] Jay turns on the flashlight and shines it on the sliding door off its hinges, which is off its hinges.
[00:53] Jay walks into the house. He shines the flashlight on the upturned couch and some paper scraps on the floor.
[00:58] Jay: "Hello?"
[01:02] Jay walks past the couch.
[01:05] Jay: "Who's here?"
[01:08] Jay turns the camera back at the door, then moves it to the left.
[01:15-01:22] Jay examines couch cushions and other debris.
[01:29] Jay opens a closet and shines the light inside. He sees nothing but some blankets.
[01:34] Jay closes the closet. He walks further down the hall.
[01:39] Jay sees a skinny, white doll in the corner of the hallway.
[01:41] Jay picks up the doll and examines it.
[01:44] A voice is heard very softly: "Boo."
[01:45] Jay quickly drops the doll and turns around. A masked man is seen sitting on the couch, motionless, looking at him. Jay is heard panting.
[01:49] Jay: [quietly] "Alex?"
[01:50] Jay approaches the masked person.
[01:52] Jay: "Alex!" The masked figure falls to a crouch, then runs at Jay.
[01:55] The audio distorts.
[01:57] The camera falls on the carpet near the stairs.
[01:57-02:07] A struggle can be heard through the distortion.
[02:06] The camera is picked up.
[02:09] The distortion ends at, Jay regains control of the camera.
[02:10] The masked figure is lying on the ground in the hallway, apparently having some sort of seizure.
[02:17] The figure stops moving, and Jay approaches to remove his mask.
[02:27] Masked Figure: "No!" The masked figure pushes Jay away, and Jay stumbles backwards into the living room.
[02:32] Jay has another coughing fit and appears to fall down.
[02:39] He starts to crawl toward the sliding door when the audio distorts again.
[02:41] Film cuts out.
[02:23] White text appears:

After I apparently stopped the camera, I don't remember anything else.

[02:47] Cut to an outdoor scene in a wooded area. The camera (And therefore Jay) appears to be looking out a window.

I woke up here the next morning, my car off the road.

The knife I had brought with me was also missing.

[02:57] The camera pans up to look at the tops of the trees, similar to the video near the end of the Signal Video.

At first I thought I had been hallucinating. But I looked on the camera to see that it recorded whoever it was that attacked me.

[03:09-03:23] The video is made up of stills of the masked figure from the altercation earlier in the video.

The same audio distortion that I heard in Alex's tapes is also in the end of my footage.

Something dangerous is going on, and I'm starting to regret ever getting involved with it now.

[03:37] Video ends.

Comment from Jay

In response to speculation that a third party was present, or that the masked man did not attack Jay, Jay made the following comment on the Something Awful forums to clarify the events in the entry:

Some understandable confusion going on about #18, I'll try and set a few things straight if memory serves (which I can't help
but think is a gamble at this point).
-Whoever was in the mask attacked me. He pushed me against the door that was locked behind me and pulled me down on the floor.
I don't remember much of what he did after that, I was in a daze because I had hit my head on the floor.
-After he had what looked like some kind of seizure, I tried to take his mask off. He pushed me off surprisingly hard and I
stumbled backwards and fell.
-The knife I had with me was still in my pocket when I headed for the back door. Then it wasn't when I woke up in my car.
I'm still feeling very sore from it all. My head is killing me.

Speculation & Analysis

+ Spoiler Entry 35

The knife that J lost here is possibly the same knife that the Masked Man used in Entry 35. ~ Zeta Kai

Considering its length and shape, the long white doll could possibly be connected to The Operator, or simply a doll someone has made of The Operator. ~ kungfulemon

Is it me or does it sound like the distortion when J was being attacked sound like he was underwater? ~ 4lackovabetername
