underrated
A detail someone else pointed out that I really love, is that the woman calling about her cat and leading the guys there in the first place, might have been an alternate herself as she seems to misinterpret speech.
When Adam says "We can stop by tonight if you want?"
She replies with "How about THREE nights?"
This COULD be her not understanding the difference between the WORD tonight, and the PHRASE two nights.
that's a really neat detail I never picked up on
Same, that was the first thing i thought of.
I wonder if the cat in the TV was hers
I don't think I get this whole part of the story. She was an alternate, but why did she keep the TV? Does the intruder hide himself from alternates? And why did he play the sound of a cat?
@@arhia6106 she couldve died before the TV ban, so thats why there is a TV in the house, some people just never got rid of the TV's and unplugged them, i think the sound of the cat was played to lure Adam to the basement to the TV, because she told them her cat would still meow, they would hear the cat on the TV and go down to investigate
i hope that helps C:
Actually, the female voice saying “Nobody is coming to help you” sounds EXTREMELY like the woman calling on the phone at the video.
Which suggests the caller was an alternate trying to lure them to the house.
@@mtmentertainmentinc.9562 It actually is. Notice how they don’t know the difference between “tonight” and “two nights” as she recommends three nights instead
its probably the same alternate that was trying to infect adam

The whole idea of not letting your fears take over, since that could be your downfall, is always scary to me. Yet, that’s what they want huh? I feel this whole series exploits many of our fears to demonstrate how easy it is for our fears to surface and how easily said fears could be used against us
If i saw an alternet of me id probably smash
Literally just hearing the words mandela catalogue makes me scared.

@@apersona9379 Same! I still shudder whenever someone brings it up.
@@whitejames69 fax my guy
A pretty common theory I’ve heard is that the woman that Adam is looking for is his mother, the one distraught who had hung herself in the earlier video. Adam was the baby in that video that went missing, but somehow survived the encounter, not unlike the encounters he can survive in vol.2. There’s some more theories too now that the fourth episode has come out and Adam is revealed to have some alternate-type behaviors himself, he’s had visions and memories his whole life, making it all more plausible that he was kidnapped and escaped as a child.
Considering Adam is told in vol. 4 “You’re not the real y-“ (most likely finishing with “you”) I think he’s actually been an alternate this whole time. The real Adam being kidnapped as a child and being replaced with a doppelgänger who forgot what he is.
@@peanutbutter6720 basically adams alter ego
@@peanutbutter6720This makes me wonder, is it possible for an alternate to change it’s nature? To become a force of good? Reminds me of Alternate Cesar, who is by far the most intelligent.
My thoughts too exactly, this also means the female voice on the radio is supposed to be his mother's voice, which is so villainous to me. The Intruder is pure evil, he isn't warning them, it's TAUNTING their prey. Instead of killing them, kidnapping kids, using them for some unknown (STILL!) reason.

@@Zest_Fest18 the guy who made this video you're watching.. the owner/narrator for the film theorists, the game theorists, the food theorists and other channels.
honestly Adam working with the intruder and Jonah working for the Shepherd sounds like a interesting analog horror story
A thing you forgot about jonah is that after he's eaten, the fish spewes him out to the shore, while he's still alive. He then goes to warn the city and he manages to save it
Interesting. So maybe Jonah comes back and tries to save Adam?
On the flip side, Jonah WANTED Nineveh to be destroyed. In the end he goes and does what he’s supposed to but not without still be angry and bitter about it. Wonder if Jonah here had similar feelings towards Adam.
Also it was Eve who ate the apple not Adam
@@LordSwolee They both ate the fruit, but Eve did eat it first.

I thought that was my cat
Personally, I've got the idea that Adam himself was kidnapped by The Intruder, and that his mother was the one who exnayed herself at his disappearance. When Adam was brought back, he realized his mother had become an alternate, and started chasing answers.
I don't think The Intruder actually erases/kills the kids he takes as a method to cut off the potential alternate body supply. I think he immunizes the kids he takes so that they can't be affected by False Shephard influence, and puts them back out in the world some time later, or potentially even earlier than when they were taken, as suggested by the inclusion of the Department of temporal phenomena.

The intruders name is Follo D. Arroh
So... You basically just repeated what mat said...
@@eli3998 No, MatPat said he believes the Intruder takes children it sees as becoming alternates in the future, as a means to directly hinder the building of their army. He didn't say it, but he implies that it kills the children it takes, based on his choice of wording.
My theory is that it takes the children and imbues them with immunity to the Alternate MAD influence, then spits them back out either years later, or many years before they were initially even taken.
@@ItsJxlius follow the aura
M.A.D has to be the scariest part of the series. Just the fact that alternates have knowledge about the universe or reality that can cause complete mental deterioration is horrifying.
It's a rather classic trope for eldritch horror. But I always love the different ways that trope is utilized.
Doesn't that happen in Lovecraft stories? The monsters are so incomprehensible to human mind that when you know about them you start to lose your mind and become a cannibal humanoid fish monster.
Yea lmao they are servants of literal SATAN, which it's power is almost matching to the one of God, so they would know every single thing.
Although it's not specified that it's some galactic info, it could just be traumatising things that the victims don't want to know, like a truth of their life or something
@@kevinvandijk4112 Satan's power doesn't come _close_ to God's

It's weird how...The Intruder let Mark fall asleep...and not kidnap him...right? Cause there's no way he got kidnapped after that.
11:29 I guess you could say Adam got drafted

If I were a mandela catalogue character, I would most likely be fine because I'm the type of person who wonders what lies beyond the edge of our ever-growing universe and how the universe came into being. I am fascinated by practically everything.
who isn't
That may be so. But my opinion on MAD is that the truth is so unfathomable, so unconcievable, it drives you insane. Think lovecraftian. Imagine really finding out, and I mean REALLY finding out the truth about religion/christianity right this instant. Not just what we are taught to believe, but the actual truth. On God, his principles, what He actually wanted for humanity etc. Not to mention the fact that humanity was decieved and let astray by the false sheperd. It would drive most insane. Which is also why in one of the survival PSAs its mentioned to not be religious

@@nataliewong4270 (Feel free to ignore this. I started rambling, and I absolutely don't have the brainpower to make it make sense right now)
Good thing I'm not religious then. I've only been in a church once, and that was to take my brother to choir. I was not taught to believe, lol

@@sunsetspectre1868 I'm pretty sure people who don't believe in god can't be affected as much by the forbidden truth considering they tell u to not be very religious and philosophical so as long as you don't care about our lord and saviour jesus christ being replaced by a doppelganger and the fact that all of religion in this universe (all of Abrahamic religion tbf) is a load of bullcrap that satan created you'll be fine. that doesn't mean the alternates can't hurt you tho i mean they can use other psychological warfare
Fun fact: you can see the intruders normal face in this timestamp 6:16
I think this will be explained in vol.4
i saw the one that adam was told
Something else to note, Mat, is that Adam says "Suddenly, i'm scared" Right after eating the apple in the edited animatics, right when the real Adam is approaching that weird thing which tries to infect him with M.A.D.. Just an odd timing but i think that's why The Intruder wakes him up. If he feels fear, he will expose himself to alternates.
That's right after Adam gains "knowledge" as it was the fruit from the tree of knowledge. I think it's an allusion to the idea that Alternates implant knowledge in your mind to scare you.
Oh true
You know I have this small theory about the intruder and who he might be. The intruders identity might actually be a lot more obvious than it might seem. I suspect that the intuder is an Angel. Unlike the alternates, the intruder acts more discretly and in a way that influences the outcome, while not directly partaking in the process himself. More like nudging things in a certain direction while not personally acting (which is sort of like the way God often does things in the Bible, as we can see with Jonah. Instead of warning the city himself, he asks a human to do it. Moses can also be made as an example. Instead of acting himself, God acted through Moses and so on and so forth).
The chid kidnapping can also be easily explained with this variable. Why kidnap children? Simple: They are pure. Untouched by sin and desires unlike adults. Children are also fresh in this world, with a completly new and uncorrupted soul that is not fully integrated into the mortal life and it's concepts, which I'll explain the importance of later.
The other thing said in this video was that the Intruder was brainwashing the children, but I do not believe that to be the case. If the children are really being "brainwashed" then why not just use adults? It's brainwashing. It works on everyone and would be more beneficial to perform on adults since they can be deployed immediatly, while a child has to grow. But what is he doing if not brainwashing? How does he create these "soldiers" out of children? Well that's also simple: He shows them their place in the universe and tells them exactly the same thing the alternates do. Why is the child not driven insane then? Well this is where we tie back to the purity/freshness concept. Children grow and they start to comprehend and learn about the world around them gradualy, piece by piece and when they get old enough they believe themselves to have figuered out the concepts of reality, so when they are told what reality is truly like, their believes and concepts turn upside down and they can no longer find certainty and safety in their believes which drives them mad. But if you take a child at the early stage, at a point where they do not understand the world around them and show them what it truly is, their thoughts are not doubtfull, they have no concepts to be thrown upside down, because they have no concepts except for the ones which just got implanted into them. They already comprehend and know everything, which is why they are not scared, why they pursue their goals despite the dangers and why they cannot be corrupted by alternates.
So why do they seem not to remember anything? Well if we go by the typical depiction of the human essence it consists of two seperate things: The physical body and the soul which are two differnt things but together make up the mortal shells that humans are. The intruder reveals everything to the child, which gives the child two places to take in the information: The mind and the soul. The soul does not forget and is responsible for the draw in humans and the urge to uncover the truth as they get older. This may be a way for the soul trying to call out to the body so it can regain the information it has now lost due to age or it my be some vague memories in the subconcious that have been retained (to give a simple example: you vaguely remember something happened in a show, but forgot the name of the show and now you're trying to remember, but can't so you do some research to get that feeling of satisfaction and reasureance. Kinda same concept here ish), which brings me to the mind section. The human mind is limited, especially a childs and as they grow older some memories begin to fade either into the subconcious or be completly erased, which is the reason they can not remember anything when they are adults, but due to the concept of reality itself being already ingrained into their essence, they can not be corrupted by the information given out by alternates due to them already being aware of it in some way.
The line "wake up" may very well refer to this. "Quit living in this world of pretend and dreams and see the world for what it really is. Wake up".
That may also be the reason why Adams mother killed herself when she saw the intruder in the TV. He was telling the truth of reality to Adam and the mother overheard it by accident, which ended up in accidental colateral damage for the intruder. The intruder tampering with the body of the mother could also be explained this way, since he caused her to commit suicide by accident, he tried to prevent her from becoming an alternate.
As to the line "don't make me wake the others". It is a lot trickier, but again I have a theory on this. I believe that the Intruder sees Adam as special and strong. He says "don't make me wake the others" which is most likely referring to the other children the intruder has kidnapped. Why would he NOT wake them? If the threat is serious and he is trying to combat it, why not throw everything you have at it? This tells me that the Intruder believes that Adam is all that is needed. But why is he special? Well the very first thing to start of with is that Adam got returned back to the mortal world after he was abducted. We know that Adam may very well be the only or extremly rare case, since it is clearly stated that the other children disappeared, implying that they were not returned. The person he is looking for may very well also be a clue as to what makes Adam special. If you haven't figured it out by now, I believe that the identity of Adam is lying in plain sight. Adam is Adam. THE Adam, the first human. A reincarnation of him. And the person he is looking for? Eve. That is why her name is censored every time she is mentioned. If her name was said there would be no mystery. It is also the reason he's so obsessed with finding her no matter what. She is his "other half".
(I might be reaching in this section, so take it with a very large grain of salt)
Jonah might also be exactly who his name states him to be. The only people who are not affected are not the people who SEEK the truth. It is the people who already KNOW the truth. The people who are "unaffected", who got abducted and then returned are biblycal characters and the ones who did not get returned are NEW "soldiers" for what might very well be Armagedon in this universe. Which is why the intruder is so hesitant to use them, as it would be total war.
Apologies for this whole Google doc, that's probably not even going to be seen by anyone. But on the chance that someone DOES find this: I'm sorry for any grammatical errors, this took like 1 hour to write. Maybe like 1 and a half. I dunno, I didn't pay exact attention to time while writing this, all I know is that it's been at least an hour. And remember: That's just a theory. A Filmtheory.

Dude that’s an amazing theory, I never thought of that! You got my brain going man, and now imma be stuck on this for a while lol.
Quick thing I'm sure many of people have noticed. When you first see " "Mandela" Catalogue, and you don't know what it is, you probably think of the Mandela effect. An effect where the majority of people remember something a certain way when in reality, it never truly was that way. Mentioning this fact, the spirit who comes to the shepherds, mary and Joseph etc. make it seem as if everything that everyone has ever known about Christianity was a lie. Which, in itself is a form of the Mandela effect.
Ooh I like this one

The Intruder IS techincally good. He’s doing the only thing possible to prevent the existance of alternates.
Is there any way to stop the alternates other than preventing them?
Yes, killing them.
I mean, if the intruder had a way to physically manifest, humanity might be more willing to help him considering the way he does it now is uh.... more than a little creepy.
He's neither good or bad, really. Although his objective is good, goals don't justify the means. He is still taking children away from their families.

"Humanity is a mere pimple on the face of existence."
Me: Well at least we are on the face.
We might be an ear pimple though
@@placeholderdoe nooooooooooo
Or more specifically one on the nose. If you don’t know what happens to pimples on the nose if you pop them, one of two things will happen, it will pop normally like how you would a normal pimple. The other is popping the pimple will cause instantaneous death. So, if humanity is a pimple on the nose of existence then when we eventually die, we will either wither away like many nations in our history, or we will destroy everything around us as a response to our species dying.
Hope it's not my face, cuz you are NOT alone then
"humanity is a mere hair in the asscrack of existence"

This is the only medium through which I can handle the Mandela catalogue. If I didn't have mat's cheery attitude and cheesy jokes, I would be scared out of my mind!

Same! A friend of mine showed some of them to me a year ago and even though I wasn't alone I was scared. So I'm really happy Matt does these videos and I can still get all the cool stories without having to weep alone in my bed at night
I also figured that the Intruder might have better intent than what might be first thought. Good theory, MatPat!
I cant wait for more covers of it since more clips came out!!
Fun fact children who draw things with frowny faces or smiley faces usually reflect their relationships in real life for instance if a child is in a bad house hold or has negative relationships they will draw characters with frowning faces, and violent, sexual , etc things, if a child has good relationships that usually draw characters with smiling faces and normal things, the intruder as shown here 10:46 is drawn with a smiley face, which could mean that the intruder possibly does not have bad intentions, well that is if Alex wanted to hint that the intruder wasn’t a bad guy, if it was a hint then I would be extremely impressed if not then ignore this-

Funny thing is, this is not Hazbin Hotel
When Jonah ran away from that city, known as Nineveh, he didn't "chicken out". That's inaccurate. It's clearly stated in the story that Jonah felt that city did not deserve God's mercy. Jonah knew how wicked and immoral those people were, and he'd rather let God destroy them for their sins instead of giving them even the slightest chance of repenting.
That is what makes the story of Jonah so thought-provoking. It's not just a simple story of a guy who got scared and "ran away from God". Jonah took that boat ride away from Nineveh not because he actually thought he could run from God, but as an act of demonstrating to God how much he despises those people. It's literally like sulking in front of your dad because he told you to clean your room or something.
Being swallowed by the fish was basically God giving Jonah the time to reflect on his decisions, and to consider if his beliefs are reasonable. After 3 days in the fish, he gets spit out at a place in walking distance to Nineveh: God still gives Jonah another chance to decide for himself whether to preach to them or not.
As one commentor said, in the end Jonah did obey God and preached to Nineveh. The king of the city and all its citizens actually took Jonah's advice and everyone repented and turned over a new leaf. The moral of the story is, don't ever let our judgement override that of God. The thing about God is that He gives free will to everyone. He won't force you to do anything, but that doesn't mean He can't chastise you and show you the best way forward.
K?
you mean if you disobey him he'll send you to be eaten by a fish to punish you and make you obey him unless you want to be eaten by a fish again. There is no freewill, God still forces you to do something for him under the pretext of being punished. Fear. The true God is the new testament
That make sense in the mandela catalog too omg
Funnily enough, it still fits Mandela Jonah, who spoke to Adam and tried convincing he leave the situation like a sane man, as well as revealing how sick and tired he is of Adam’s shenanigans. Maybe, the moral will still be followed by the end, where Adam realizes Mark, another one of the intruder’s “recruits,” still died, and so he really isn’t invincible, avoiding alternates (but not the intruder) from there on out.

What if Adam is the child that was taken in “Intruder Alert”, and the female character that he is looking for is his mother, the one who took her life after being “distraught at the sight of her missing infant”. The Intruder is showing him his mother, and more importantly, what has become of her. She has become an alternate, and the intruder is trying to keep Adam sane while the voice of his mother mocks him through the ghost box. (AKA the thing the woman’s voice comes through). Adam says “I did the right thing” because the Intruder has already made sure he cannot contract M.A.D. I would like to point out that one of Alex Kister’s community posts seemed to be an updated version of all of the known alternates. One of which is the “Tulpa”. While most of the information is redacted, the mention of “screens and mirrors” seems to imply that whatever the intruder is is a “Tulpa”. But that may be the department of temporal phenomena may be misinterpreting what the intruder is. Happy theory crafting everyone!
I am in full support of this theory. It makes sense.
That sounds like a cool idea
This is exactly what I thought when I first watched vol 2!
Another thing to point out assuming the intruder is the religious vanguard against satan and his "Alternates"
Then why attempt to decrease religiousity amongst the populace.
@@Guh934 Because they're just trying to keep people safe. Certain religious practices could make you susceptible to M.A.D. and others could lead to being taken by the Intruder, which they also consider a threat. While following him may protect you, it also leaves your family distraught and vulnerable.
Matpat would let the alternates in to analyze their biology

bro i just wanna say how much i love this man, i have been heavily hyperfixated onto analog horror/ mandela catalog. and how much time he spends on these videos, watching every second and making up theorys including proof on why. love you dude
matpat could probably spoon feed me the most backwards unexpected answer to a lore question and actually make it make an unbelievable amount of sense
The only thing that doesn't makes sense to me is that the intruder is trying to help us by preventing us from going MAD, yet he still started tampering with the body of the mother that hanged herself, maybe he tried to clear up the evidence or something?
after seeing the theory, my guess is he’s probably trying to hide it from alternates or something

I think the intruder was planting the ideas into the childs mind then the mother listened to it and did a suicide. Also it doesnt make sense that you added a c to sense.
@@gerald5561 jeez ok, you're going crazy over a fricking c. English isn't my first language but if we are gonna be grammar nazi's here, it doesn't make sense that you forgot the ' by doesn't.
unless they weren't the one tampering with body, but those alternates. or you know, maybe the Intruder did it so the Alternates won't get a hold of the body.
my theory is that the intruder may be the overthrown godly (the good one) figure by the devil or whatever. now 'they' are helping the humanity by cutting the alternates' supply, by you know 'kidnapping' the kids and making them immune to the M.A.D. so alternates won't affect them.
Mandela catalogue is such an interesting story! Cant get enough of it.

@@bell-lv7rk These guys don’t have a life
Can't wait for new chapters of the series
Ikr!
@@bell-lv7rk yeah.... idk whats goin on
This theory immediately made my fear of the whole thing go away lol
Felt the same here lol, I think it's because initially we don't know what's really happening, and that uneasiness brings the fear/anxiety that bothers us, but since matpat put a light on the whole thing it's not as scary as it seemed at first, even though it's not confirmed we now have a clue of what's actually going on. But that's just my guess anyway
I feel like it's worth pointing out how Cesar's portrait appears alongside Mark's.
I think it might mean he has some relation to Cesar, especially seeing as how Intruder got very specific in what he chose to show onscreen, and Cesar - alongside Mark - was part of that selection, despite Adam probably not knowing who either of them are.
Intruder does allude to someone Adam DOES know, as pointed out by MatPat in this video.
Something tells me there's something special about Adam, Cesar, and Mark.
The intruder being the "good guy" would be such a cool twist
Any good guy would bring hope. You want that in this series?

This is why I love your Jurassic Park theories.
We need vol.3 theory soon
I'm kind of curious as to what happens to the people who are indifferent about that knowledge. Like, what if they're not afraid of it, but not actively seeking it out? They just don't care about what our place in the universe is. Do they get infected?
i would think they are immune as well because they are also not scared of it, and fear of that knowledge seems to be the driving principle for the most part
What about the people who found the information all by themselves? is it the information itself that is harmful, or only when presented by the alternate?
@@fordprefect859 the information, but those who found it without an outside force had to have been actively seeking it out
@@rjfiction1527 what this guy said
Alternate : speaks some truth
Guy (saitama face) : Ok
The mandela catalogue is the best example of true horror. No cheap jumpscares and shock value, just pure creepiness. Awesome!!
Yeah, just pure fear.
Cant say the same for this episode of film theory.
There should only be jump scares when needed
is horror more than jumpscares? of course. horror is more than just a reflexive, physiological reaction to something sudden or loud. but I think it's silly to dismiss jumpscares as unimportant or cheap tricks of the horror genre. creepiness that makes it hard to sleep or makes you feel like you're being watched is using the exact same physiological tools. we jump at jumpscares for the exact same reason it's hard to sleep after you watch something scary that gets under your skin.
If there was a matpat alternate it would be scary AF cuz no one would probarly be reconized
Literally during the video talking about Jonah’s and Adam’s biblical connection, there was an ad for an app about prayer and meditation.
I’m really curious about the connection between the intruder saying “wake up Adam” and the shepherd saying “wake up Joseph” in the first clip.
when i saw the name joseph i thought of

Mat pats an alternate!!
Hope you can continue talking about this series, really interesting
It is literally impossible for the alternates to completely wipe out humanity as some people cannot feel fear because of Damage, Disorder, or a cold depression.
can we just take a second to appreciate the dude who did the voice of Jonah?? class freakin act man, so well done
Mandela catalogue is fantastic and I can't wait to see more of it. I binged watched it, and was so frightened afterwards. This is true horror. No insane amount of jumpscares, yet it leaves you with a chilly feeling after watching it. Can't wait to see new content.

Dude ive been hooked ever since Mark made that video. And normally I don't like horror things, simply because i find them too cliched. But Mandela Catalogue is super refreshing, unique, and perfectly paced.
The images are cheezy but the buildup is intense.
The thing that always disturbed me about the mandela catolaugoe is that when I was a kid, i read the beginners bible so seeing the animated version all distorted and scary makes it even creepier to me
"Cannon of the Catholic Church" is not a phrase I thought I would ever hear, but now its out there. It now lives in my head rent free. Thanks MatPat
Can we talk about that A++ editing in the beginning with the Film Theory images flashing on the tv screen? What I understand is your editor deserves a raise, Mr. Pat.

I feel like MatPat Deserves a break- he's working so much and he seems so tired but STILL manages to make my day better along with countless others, I truly admire your work, your a great man MatPat!

@@kamado0167
Fair, but you can’t really continuously and consistently do something without finding some sort of fondness of it.
Besides in his GTLive vids he seems to be reviewing the videos with a sort of fondness to them.
But that’s also just what I think 🤔🤷, I mean the guy’s been doing this for a good decade now-
This made your day better?
I’m gonna have trouble sleeping
Here's a theory to build on this one, sorta.
The Intruder is doing a pretty bad job at thinning the number of Alternates. Since he's the one stealing children, he is also the one causing the parents of said children to take their own lives as seen in a previous video. If those who take their own lives become alternates, if anything, the Intruder is creating more alternates.
Yeah not to sure on this theory (the episode) but also it’s really hard to understand and matpat does a great job at interpreting things!
In my opinion what the intruder is doing is seizing the most susceptible to attacks from alternates and well keeping them mental fortified,what i forsee is the intruder by doing this is assembling a small but fanatic vanguard party in opposition to them
Well... if we recall, when that mother committed suicide and her body was tampered with, they ruled out the possibility of alternate activity. Whatever the intruder is up to, seems to prevent an alternate of that specific suicide case from manifesting
which is why his theory is bs
@@mightyradish9672 Well said.
Well....looking back at this after Volume 4, seems we gunna have to rethink them theories.
MatPat,
I know it’s summer but there is a new Mandela Catalogue volume!
There’s so much lore in the newest volume of Mandela Catalogue, and so many secrets to unbury!
The volume is Vol. 333
The thumbnail is of Mark Heathcliff or someone else.
And it’s 26:00 mins long.
Thank you for being our local youtube lord explainer!
Finally, the ominous "Mr. Incredible being Uncanny" meme is explained for us by the name of MatPat 👏🏻
I just had this random thought, could Matpat calculate how much property damage Tom and Jerry have surmounted over the series? It would be hard but entertaining as anything
IDK, judging from how long tom and jerry has been on the air, it might drive mat more mad than solving the fnaf timeline

Adam is looking for his mother at 6:45 because he was the infant that was kidnaped in intruder alert
4:35 Adam is just built different

PLOT TWIST: This actually happened but we would never know because the intruder won and wiped out everyone's memory
Edit: Oh god- This has a lot of likes Lmao
Even further plot twist: Alex (?the creator) Is the true intruder and is re-telling the story in hopes to bring awareness to the possibility of it happening again.

If the police ever need to interrogate someone, then they just need to put a playlist of all of this guy’s videos. And if that doesn’t work, then play the audio of all of the videos together at once
alex said in an interview with wendigoon that MAD plays a way bigger part in the story than we give it credit for
the theory that sits with me the best is that those who have MAD are ACTUALLY ALTERNATES and when they learn theyre alternates they get so "spooked" they off themselves. The three percent on the other hand come to terms with it and either 1) join the alternate cause or 2) fight against it knowing that they might have an advantage.
oh and with the intruder i dont believe they are rivaling factions but they are working together. yes he said "you are a fool and stuff" but i think thats 1) a red herring or 2) something different. i think that the intruder takes a child, kills it, and then replaces it with an alternate copy and thats why adam "failed" the toddler assessment test.

This two video theory is really creepy and makes me scared to move. I wonder what it's like for people who actually suffer from paranoia
I watched the Mandela catolougue with my friends, he absolutely hated the face at 4:30 (I did too), and since it doesn’t have a name, we all just called it the “pstpstpstpstpst guy”
Mandela catalog, The walten files and The backrooms are literally the best analog horror series we ever seen.
Edit: i want to give a small detail that before season 2 was released Alex acctually made a post on his UA-cam channel community post (about new teasers) that in 2005 there were two new type of alternates that is Tulpa and Mimic. Maybe in the Next episodes of the Mandela catalog we will see what these new two alternates are and what are they capable to do since most of their information is redacted. Also, its probably confirmed that the person that Jonah was talking about in part where he says "that She is gone" is probably Adam's Mother from the episode "The intruder". And One last thing is that the "Error 333" is acctually a part of the bible

Channel58. Dont forget that gem too
Fnaf vhs is also pretty good!
I was thinking it's the mom that h*nged herself, the kid that went missing was adam's sister
Here's an interesting detail: from a few shots in vol 2, we can see that Adam is in the same house shown on the cameras in vol 1
Or it could just be the fact the guy who is producing mandela catalouge doesn’t have access to that many houses
@@gianttacogod what I'm saying is probably intended because of this. Alex most likely had access to very few houses and made do with what he had, although it's very interesting when you notice that certain areas have the exact same camera angles between the two videos
@@mulchgulper it is always his own house, but I also think it matters lore wise.
its the same house because of the tv in the basement
