This morning, I woke
up in a hotel.

[02:55] Scene cuts to a difference road. Speed limit is 50MPH. There is a river on the right (visible 3:00-3:01). There is a fence to the left.
[03:00-03:06]

I don't know how I
got there.

[03:14-03:26] Cuts to black screen again.
[03:17-03:22]

The past 7 months
are completely missing
from my memory.

[03:26] Cuts to a gorge with a forest on the other side. A bridge is visible to the far right.
[03:33] Cuts to another position by the same gorge. This time behind a chain-linked fence. The position from 3:26 can be seen from this location. Jay's left hand can be seen in the bottom left, he is wearing a long sleeved red shirt. Jay's car can be seen in the distance
[03:35-03:40] Jay starts to walk left.

I don't know the area
I'm in at all.

[03:41-03:43] Jay kneels down. Jay is wearing blue jeans.
[03:46-03:52] Jay moves the camera to the passenger's seat.

[04:09] Cut to black screen.
[04:11] Cut to chest cam again. Still inside car. Jay is wearing his brown hoody.
[04:15-04:20]

I don't know where the
camera strapped to
me came from either.

[04:18] Jay removes his keys from the ignition
[04:23-04:24] Jay zips up his hoody.
[04:30-04:38] Jay gets out of the car and walks to a glass door at the hotel. A sign by the door reads "↑ 100-119"
[04:47-04:52]

I talked to the front desk and
apparently my room was only
booked for the night.

[04:58-05:03]

I decided to extend the
stay while I get
my bearings.

[05:06] Jay's room number is visible 211
[05:14] Tripod camera. Cut to Jay on the bed facing the chair with the sheets on it. The stand is no longer on the chair. Some type of clothing is on the chair.

for the next few days.

[06:04] Tree is visible left screen. Balcony is visible right screen.
[06:11] Video ends.

Main Theories and Observations

• Since less than a minute has passed since the alarm was turned off, it was set for 8:31
• At 0:56-1:01 Jay appears to be trying to get his bearings. Probably wondering where he was. He then looked out the window to see if he recognized anything
• The TV was behaving oddly, there might be an entry relating to this later.
• The sound at 1:27 is similar to the one created when he stands back up, thus making me think it is the chest camera shifting.
• Is it just me or does it seem Jay is left handed?
• I did not see any pills next to the keys or room card. The sound being heard at 1:58 is the keys.
• What is that red thing on his keys anyway?
• If you doubt that is Jay's car at 3:26 you get an interior view at 3:47 looking at stand area by the gorge.
• There is 3-4 seconds of blank footage at the beginning and end of the footage. (4 beginning and 3 at the end).
• Is the audio distortion feedback on the mic?
• Jay was sleeping fully clothed. Shoes included. ~Makdee
• The hotel room contains a painting of a hornet, seen clearly at 1:37.
• As pointed out by BearWarrior, a strange object falls from the ceiling of the hotel corridor @ ~2:19. The cause of this, the nature of the object, & its significance are completely unknown, & the incident has never been commented upon. ~ Zeta Kai
  • I thought this at first as well, but looking at it frame by frame, it is clearly just Jay's hand with keys in it right in front of the camera, which is why it was never commented on.

Further Speculation

• Anyone have any guesses on what the sound at 1:25 may be? I am guessing it is the phone being taken off the receiver.
• I find it intriguing that the laptop is open and powered on. This is because I always turn my laptop off before going to sleep. I would assume others do the same thing, but I may be wrong. Assuming Jay does the same as I, then it would make sense that the computer was intentionally left on to draw attention to it.
• In the last entry someone commented that the operator could see through cameras, would that explain the camera strapped to him. Maybe the operator was trying to see what jay was going to go. -IsaacChai
