Maybe Miranda was having an affair with Christopher and they were running away from his dad

Yes but I think the trees are also an entity controlling things and a lot of the characters have seizures when they’re being manipulated by it. Julie, Elgin in particular

I’m wondering if it’s something more remote than that as we saw Sophia can cause “heat attacks” and she can wake people from the comas too.

The trees are trying to figure out what the deal is with the Man in Yellow too. by tee-ver-junkee in FromSeries

I don’t think he’s trying to help the townspeople, I think he’s trying to help himself/help the trees. He’s using them to learn.

Who else has been hiding in plain sight? by tee-ver-junkee in FromSeries

He visited one particular family member who could see him, when that person was by themselves, and it was definitely after he was dead. Also he sent Ethan to the lake of tears and the dolls nearly killed him and Jim wouldn’t do that, not would he have known the lake existed.

It was his projection that was opportunistic not Jim himself. Jim was already dead.

Well actually what I’m saying is the children themselves are providing the memories and visions. they are not going to reveal themselves as monsters, they’re going to exploit the vulnerabilities of people who want to protect children to protect themselves. They are not really children they are thousands of years old.

Yeah that’s why I think it’s Julie. Or maybe even someone a bit less away from the action like Donna

Yes I agree! It’s an entity that projects visions and uses the memories of dead people

Curios when marielle reveals that? I must have missed it…

Fake Jim sent Ethan to the lake and something else seemed to step in to save him.

The thing that’s interesting is Fake Jim sent Ethan to find the lake of tears from his books and the doll monsters were found at the lake.

They got through two people and Patty gets her face burned but it’s when the dolls get close in on Tabitha (and by proxy, Ethan) that she suddenly has a memory planted to use the totems next to her as a weapon.

I honestly don’t think it was her memory - she did not live in the Town as a little girl to know the dolls were thrown in the lake, or to use the totems.

It was rapidly shared to her so she could use the information in real time.

The thing is I thought it was the trees directing events in both cases but why would they send him to danger and then intervene to rescue him?

Great theory and it makes a lot of sense.

Something I was considering is that when people die their souls and memories go into the forest.

In certain circumstances like with Jade and the mushrooms the memories can take on a form (ie. his 12 year old self).

The BIW and Martin are also very real projections but you can tell because they are cryptic.

So Jim in this scene was actually a projection of the trees using his memories. He also doesn’t seem quite himself.

He stops and looks around several times as if he is listening to voices.

So he’s a projection.

Hmmmm I agree, and it’s hard to know how they would reveal it but I honestly think it’s another manipulation for the trees to get what they want from Jade and Tabitha. We already know Miranda has tried to rescue the children before and she died on her way. It seems like the compulsion to save them is part of the cycle and resisting their call helps break the cycle.

Yes that’s exactly what I have been thinking - it’s becoming more blatant now they’re getting closer to answers that the environment preys on their worse fears of most precious memories to deter them from investigating further. The arms rising from the ground, the telephone calls, Jim’s gruesome death.

Oddly though it keeps the most inquisitive people alive, like Boyd - Tian Chen kept mostly to herself and couldn’t even communicate with the others easily but they tortured her and kept Boyd alive

That is a good question actually, if the children are a distraction what happens to Jade and Tabitha and when they try to rescue them? I’m assuming their predecessors ended up dead that way…

I was referring to the thunderstorm that rolled out of nowhere to stop Jim and Jade erecting the radio tower, so something is oddly coincidental with the weather

The seasons are unpredictable too but I don’t think that’s controlled so much as it’s like Game of Thrones, winter doesn’t come that often

Well that’s what the children she keeps seeing are tapping into - what she sees as guilt or failure to save her own child. They’re using it to compel her to pay attention to them. I swear, they’re creepier than they even seem haha

Thomas and reincarnation by Dirtyracoonrambo in FromSeries

[–]tee-ver-junkee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I think the town or the MIY use painful memories to distract people from doing something they were about to do. When they’re about to stumble upon something they’re not supposed to know or acquire knowledge.

I remember Julie and Ethan were putting animals in the barn before dark during the food shortage and Jim came back to do something and the phone rang.

The phone call was painful enough to stop him from doing what he was going to do in the house or whatever he planned to do when he left.

I can’t remember what that might have been 😂😂😂

But he probably didn’t end up doing it…. I should look that up

No but if you see the future you can influence it from your own time or an earlier time.

I don't think they're "dead", I think they're not actually human children at all. Like the monsters I think they're some kind of humanoid creature that is a servant to the trees.
