I posted this in /r/fantheories but I think This House Has People In It is linked to Unedited Footage of a Bear

For reference :

This House Has People In It

Unedited Footage of a Bear

These videos are very similar to each other in both style and content. They both feature suburban life twisted in some way into the world of the surreal. In the case unedited footage of a bear, we see Donna, the main character, twisted by addiction to Claridryl. She is heavily implied to have enacted violence against her own family. Hostility and aggression were both listed side effects of Claridryl, so it is likely that her actions came about directly as a result of Claridryl usage. Donna also is shown to be prone to ranting and hallucinations, most likely also due to Claridryl.

The next link in this puzzle is the host of the Sculptor's Clayground who mentions several times in the video and on his website that he spent time in a private prison after he committed some unknown crime. When our sculptor entered prison, he had Lyncs disease, but at some point thereafter, he was cured of it (through clay, which given how he acts in the show (the way he slices through the clay head and his use of the garrot, for instance) may be some way for him to curb his violent tendencies i.e. the effects of Claridryl). At first he says that he committed the crimes alone, but later admits that he may have had help. I think the help he refers to was claridryl. Furthermore, I think Lyncs Disease is a cover story to hide the more nasty effects of Claridryl from the public.

We see another probable Claridryl victim early in unedited footage of a bear. The man Donna sees at the murder scene, raving aggressively at her as she drives past, is heavily implied to be a Claridryl user.

What if the private prisons mentioned repeatedly by the sculptor became overcrowded with Claridryl/Lyncs victims, or perhaps more probably, were used as a place to lock up people with Claridryl side effects as a way for the company to cover its tracks?

Lyncs disease plays a prominent role in the subtext of this house has people in it. Both in the video and in the related material found online, it is implied to be a major issue, of perhaps epidemic proportions. It is connected with water. But, on the sculptor's website, he says that everyone already has Lyncs disease. I think that there was an event--some sort of toxic spill or airborne event, in which Claridryl got dispersed in the atmosphere. I think the spill was covered up and the Lyncs disease cover up was concocted. The private prisons were no longer necessary for the cover up so they simply rebranded the prisoners as Lyncs sufferers and let a number of them go.

I think Claridryl has another weirder side effect, though. I think long term Claridryl exposure, in addition to causing stress-induced aggression and hallucinations, bestows reality warping and minor telekinetic abilities to those afflicted. Perhaps it is this which actually breaks the minds of those addicted.

Evidence for this:

• Donna uses her fingers to shoot the lawn chair over. Possibly a hallucination but I think most of that sequence was remembered rather than imagined.

• The grandmother attempts telekinesis in some of the supplementary videos and briefly succeeds

• both UFOAB (in the web supplement) and THHPIT show people phasing through walls and ceilings. In the supplement of unedited footage of a bear, we see hands and a head mostly submerged in the ground, while in this house has people in it we see the daughter and all the party guests phase through the ground.

Other bits:

• The euphoric ranting of the father at the end also reminds me of donna ranting at her kids

• Perhaps red dude is a far-gone Lyncs victim but idk

• Sonic the hedgehog brought to life by kids reality warping

I don't know entirely where the creepy red dude fits in yet, but I have a feeling it's related to "Vistor Information", an earlier video by Alan Resnick which features a similar looking dude and references disease, corporations and telekinesis.

A rough timeline if events then

1. Claridryl hits the market and is heavily marketed. Extreme side effects are reported and covered up.

2. People become addicted and extreme side effects become more and more common. Unedited footage of a bear happens.

3. Police, working with the corporations in charge of Claridryl, take sufferers to private prisons, where they are hidden from the world in an attempted cover up.

4. Some event results in the widespread distribution of Claridryl into the water and later the air. No longer able to cover it up, the company invents Lyncs Disease as a new cover and releases some of the more rehabilitated prisoners to reduce crowding. Those released are rebranded cured Lyncs Disease sufferers. Sculptor releases his show.

5. Events of Vistor Information. Lyncs becoming more common.

6. Events of This House Has People In It. By this point, people have begun buying vastly improved security systems to repel aggressive Lyncs sufferers. Possibly, family in house is being watched and experimented on by the company that made Claridryl (references to "subjects") Lyncs effects reach epidemic levels. Reality warping "events" begin to occur.

So if anythings an scp then it's claradryl

ALSO: This video is over an hour long, so you might need to have a lot of free time on your hands to watch it.

Nicks videos are pretty great, he has a summary and explanation on each of the main slender series and a bunch of the smaller ones, as well as Alan tutorial, Unedited footage of a bear, and a bunch of horror movie reviews

[u/Tolkienreadsmymind]

I thought the exact same thing, the explanation Nick gives makes it a perfect cognitohazard/memetic.

[u/[deleted]]

I love Night Mind. I feel like he's a perfect fit for the Foundation.

[u/Logi_Ca1]

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone find the Narrator's voice slightly creepy? It's like an odd mix of synthesized and natural voice.

[u/Maxzor13]

Definitely an anomalous object. Maybe it's even the memetic disease! Either way Nick Nocturne really does a good job of explaining things.

[u/Tyranid457]

Creepy.

so, just so were clear, Boomy is a parody of sonic right?
