      It would be useless talking to the monsters because the monsters would only use as an opportunity to manipulate the people. Just like the monster Jasmine who convinced Kevin she loved him and then killed him and let all the monsters into colony house. I don't think the monsters would have any intent to discuss in good faith anything other than letting them into the location where you are.
      Yes the monsters can climb or at least can get to the second floor as Grandma monster and Jasmine both gained entry on the second floor. Also Jasmine left the window open for the monsters to get into colony house on the second floor so the monsters can definitely gain entry from the second floor of buildings.

    I don’t know if anyone brought this up already, but it seems several characters were about to have huge life changes when they brought to this place. Boyd was retiring, Tabitha and Jim were getting divorced, Kristi was engaged.

I believe this place chooses certain people, maybe you could say vulnerable people? It’s like where they are From has them all twisted up…I don’t know it’s just a thought but I agree their life events and feelings do play a part in this whole thing.

The dark fairies in actual mythology can sense people who are going through things that are breaking them down and crushing their souls. Essentially, they can sense when someone is suffering tremendously. Maybe they were chosen based on their level of suffering by the evil fairies to be fed off both physically and energetically. P.S. Don't piss off the fairies. ❤

      It got pretty intriguing by the end of season 1 but it does drag a bit and a show like this can't carry on too long without getting tiresome.
      I can't tell yet if they actually have a story arc planned or if they're just trying to write one crazy unexplained thing after another to make the place creepy and string viewers along for as many seasons as they can get.

    Apparently the show producers have suggested that there are 12 different variations of the stone talismans that are used to ward off the creatures. There is also significance in the trees, like when they show how objects and people can go inside a tree and then reappear in a random place, maybe that's what's happened to all the people stuck there, like they've somehow gone through the world tree and come out somewhere/someplace else. There's a lot of small nods to Norse mythology within the show so it's very likely that it will all end up being based around Norse mythology

      I don’t think the tree is in that world with them. I think it’s the last thing you see before going into that world. I have a theory that the people who take the time to cut the tree up and move it so they can keep moving forward don’t go into that world just the people who turn around to try and find another way. I think it may symbolize people who run from problems versus people who meet it head on and do something about it. The monsters know it will be easier to bring in people more acceptable to ignoring problems and trying to pretend things are okay then real problem solvers. Idk though could be overthinking it.

    The first thing I thought of was purgatory. They all died in some way before ending up there. Now with the most recent episode we find out the priest was about to commit suicide before driving there. So most likely he went through with his suicide. I was hoping for a more extra terrestrial reason, but it's not looking that way.

      I agree. My crazy idea is this. There is a parallel dimension identical to ours but on another plane of existence. There is a portal to travel to our world. However there is also a corridor or room between the two. Kind of a neutral area. The town resides in this neutral corridor. There is a door to get into their world and one into this world. These people are trapped in the corridor as are the creatures. Thats why everything is off or wierd and incomplete like the electrical outlets. These creatures snatch people from all over the world because time and space are meaningless in the corridor. Thats also why they travel in circles and can never leave the town.

    Christie would’ve said he’s still speaking in the “PAST TENSE” if she was referring to a new (new is always in the future) situation that Jim was in, since being an engineer was in his recent past, and since we see time as linear, as if he was no longer an engineer like *before,* in the PAST. “Still speaking in the *present* tense” sounds like Christie thinks they’re not in reality, because the ONLY reality is the present. IF we could time travel and went to the past or future, being in that moment would STILL be the “present”. *There is no past or future- the past is memories that are colored by emotions, therefore not reality, and the future is fantasy., therefore not reality.*
    IF she meant that Jim was no longer an Engineer & had a career because he was trapped in the town, and therefore no longer had his career, she would’ve said the opposite, that he was “still speaking in the *past* tense”.
    Using the word “still” means that he’s talking as if he was STILL in the present like he used to be, but is no longer. I think she’s referring to not being in reality, as “present” is right now, not past or future.
    UNLESS she thinks they’re in the past or future, but doesn’t refer to it as the present because she knows it’s the past or future - but if that was the case, and if she views time linearly like everyone else, she would’ve said “PAST TENSE”.

    Just finished the show and found your videos, very well done. Your research if extremely impressive, and your theories I believe are mostly spot on and very well thought out.
    However, the theory that they are dead I’m pretty sure is 100% false. First they discuss it in the series and pass it off as not true. Second, they take the time to make “missing” posters as part of the promotional material. Why have that if they were in car accidents? The posters make no mention of accidents.
    Going on with other clues I think belies the most rational reason why they aren’t dead. The very idea of a sci-fi show using “they were dead the whole time” is so pastiche that a green light never would of been given as it would be universally hated by fans and critics. Also as this is by the same producers as lost, they made a big point in that show to state that “what happened on the island, really happened” and they weren’t all dead when it was going on, when fan backlash became a operant. I see no way that they would decide to make a series where everyone was already dead knowing full well how it would be received and the backlash.
    Once again great videos, I hope this show blows up and you get the attention you deserve for your efforts.

    I like the show but I find it so strange that they have not tried to gather any intel on the enemy. Even setting a spike pit or a cage. Even if it is able to escape you’ve just learned more about them. And if you can trap one you can test what they are weak against. Or trapping it til morning to see if they simply don’t come out at night or if they are damaged by the son or if they somehow cease to exist during the day.

    • @FromLand

      That’s a good question! It may be a matter of convenience for the show’s creators. Alternatively, we know that Nordic Paganism has been in the US since at least the 50s. If we assume the mythology is real, then it should apply globally and for everybody. Maybe this is also happening with people from other countries and we’ll later find out.

    If I lived in that town. I'd set a trap for one of the monsters. Maybe a deep pit they fall in. I know it would be hard trapping them. But maybe you could trap them in a box with a talisman or something. And then carefully let them out at high noon to see if they die from sun exposure, or if it just causes them a lot of pain. Or maybe they just have to sleep during that time and they'd just sleep.
    Though if they just sleep, then I'd carefully try and kill them like saw their head off or something. obviously you'd have to build a contraption where you can do this from a distance. I'd probably build a small building close with a talisman inside so I could go inside quickly if it tries to come after me and doesn't die from the sun.
    After learning they sleep in caves, I'd send people into the woods during the day to search for caves to try and identify each entrance and mark it.

First time you can see the light poles and a white box and a sleeper at the crossing point. But at the second time they all disappeared!!!! But when they turn around and cross for the third time, the sleeper shows again but still no sign of light poles or white box, is the sleeper a tool for switching the road to reality?????
    In season 2 episode 2 we could see a map victor drew, hanging on container it shows a double pointed arrow and a separate roade ends to a circle!!!
