How many horror podcasts do you have to listen to to automatically recognize the sound of human teeth against a stone container?

[mooseberrypaw]

oh this new episode of tmagp was so good :3 And it's the first episode where I actually know the guest writer :D If you guys enjoyed this episode but didn't listen to The Cellar Letters yet, go do it!!! Spread the propaganda!!!!

GOD there is nothing creepier than standing in the attic of a stranger's house in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm with your friend, only for your phone to ring and your actual friend to desperately warn you that he's not standing in the attic with you.

Finally caught up on The Cellar Letters again.

This show makes me feel insane.

What is a connection? What is a red herring?

Was that continuity error a mistake or on purpose?

There were seven steps to the basement and then twelve.

There have been 12 clock chimes multiple times and then one episode ended as they were sounding which cut them off at 7 chimes. Did you mean to do that?

ARE 12 AND 7 IMPORTANT?

I FEEL INSANE!

I just want answers!

Please!

I was vaguely aware that a person or creature called Ringo would show up in The Cellar Letters at some point, but no further details. The name Ringo has not yet come up in my listen, but I did recently hear the episode where Nate finds the scarab. I was idly wondering if the scarab would stick around long enough to get a name, and if that name would be Ringo.

But it only just hit me... of course the scarab would be Ringo.

He's a beetle.

finally caught up on the cellar letters and am obsessed with officer john because he's either somehow apart of the house and therefore untrustworthy, or he's a rando who took one look at the lost puppy in human form that is nate and was like "what a freak. I love him."

Cellar Letters half-baked Fan Theory; Spoilers up to Ep.60

Yeah, so regarding this

My theory right now is that Officer John and that nurse from the mental healthy facility are exactly those voices Nate heard on the ominous reversed audio – like, I’m just saying it doesn’t seem like a coincidental re-casting of the voice actors

The reversed whispers of “erased, don’t go, alone, can’t leave” that overlap and were pretty hard to make out are credited with the same VAs as the facility nurse and Officer John.

I haven’t bothered yet to pluck at that “much louder” bit of reversed audio that can only be heard once, but I’m confident it would straight up be the same voice Harlan Guthrie used as Officer John. And, to those unaware, it’s not for a lack of range. If anyone, Harlan Guthrie does have the range to make himself sound like… how many different characters appeared on Malevolent so far? Yeah, that many.

Anyhow, those whispers are the mental health facility nurse and Officer John, I hypothesise.

Don’t have a theory how/ why yet but I’d bet it has to do with Nate being that cult baby

Best bet so far, they are either working for the cult or against the cult.

I Interpret “working for the cult” as them trying to reel Nate back in. And “working against the cult” means, I presume, they want to help Nate get away. There also could be the option that they want to kill him but with how Officer John is behaving that’s unlikely in either case.

Even if “ritual sacrifice” isn’t entirely off the table as the cult’s ultimate goal for Nate.

Like, we can’t even be sure yet what this cult’s purpose is, what’s it do.

We know about the cult/ shadow organisation that “they” have their fingers in just about anything. That “they” concern themselves with a lot of paranormal/ supernatural happenings in Maine. I’m not sure if this is a The Magnus Archives X Files kind of situation where they collect and follow up on paranormal shit. Or maybe they partially instigate some of the things and do the follow-up as a way of cleaning up after themselves.

“They” who show up in pretty much every letter are this “seen things that should not be seen, felt things that should not be felt, you do not need to be alone anymore” cult group.

See the Unseen dot Org (no I haven’t googled the URL, I’m not going to, I’m not into ARG stuff) – the website that links the address of Nate’s house in Maine as basically the organisation’s letterbox

Plus, it’s confirmed that “they” wanted Nate to move into that house that has been this cult’s letterbox for decades.

But that’s it. I’m just saying that nurse and Officer John aren’t randomly showing up in Nate’s life when he needs allies (or people he thinks are allies).

My theory is half-baked at best. I’d rather say barely-not-completely-raw-anymore. It’s got loose ends front and back but I’m pretty convinced on the casting choices theory (even tho I know meta information for fan theories is a bit delicate).

I would love to go on theorising, this ominous dull/ murmuring static that happens sometimes is probably the house …doing something? Being… paranormal and shit? And this reoccurring knocking only the listeners can hear while Nate obviously can’t. …But to be honest I’m coming up empty so far.

Best guess is the knocking does relate to Steve and I’m not so sure anymore Steve is a real person. Yeah, rude. I know. Or maybe Steve was a real person but isn’t anymore? As I said, coming up empty on that front
