This was everything I thought for the last two years, since I got into fnaf. Thank you.

Wasn't it kind of already proven that the fnaf 4 house is a secret underground chamber with hallucination gas?

I just have to personally disagree with that midnight motorist interpretation. I don’t think there’s any feasible way Elizabeth dies before CC. What reason would William have to literally make murder robots before his son dies, or even Charlie dies? As well, in Sister Location, hand unit makes a reference that states that “after the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, it’s clear the stage was set for a new contender in children’s entertainment” , implying that Circus Baby’s had to of opened at least after the very first Freddy’s closed due to the MCI, which obviously comes AFTER CC dies.

Speaking about the layout of the house in FNaF 4 gameplay - we can see this layout on the map is SL bunker, heavily implying that this was most likely the test-chamber that William used for testing illusion discs (or hallucinogenic gas) and maybe Michael was the one he tested them on? Thus having nightmares of his experience as a child later in life? He is portrayed as a child in FNaF 4 gameplay only because it's nightmares that reminds him of being a child

I believe that what Crying Child saw were the nightmare animatronics, CC is a victim of the experiments with the nightmare animatronics. I believe this is the reason cc is afraid of animatronics. What cc saw was certainly not elizabeth's death, as elizabeth was a few weeks or a few months old when cc was bitten by fredbear

10:07 Omfg... Michael was a good brother that protected his brother before hanging out with the wrong crowd, started bullying his brother, ending in killing his younger brother... That's just, that makes this whole thing sadder, explaining the earlier moment where he said to William _"He had a rough day"_

to me, the bedroom in fnaf 4 resembles mostly the office from fnaf 1. thus, I would suggest, that Michael envisions a mix between his brother's bedroom and the office.

I have major problems with this theory assuming that Elizabeth did die first why would William have murder clowns if it’s the case that he saw the puppet being possessed then why would mm be called later that night and be raining like security puppet when it would make sense if Michael ran away and William is coming home from murdering charlie and the fact the only connection between couch guy and mike is that they watch tv the gray isn’t a connection because in the same game Charlie wears gray and that the fnaf 4 room makes sense if Michael was moved in there so he could not lock out William

hey man! this was an interesting video, and you presented the theory very effectively! while I may have some disagreements with certain aspects of it, I found that most of the connections made sense and were presented in a clear and well-explained manner!

So - one thing I noticed is that when Circus Baby counts down her seeing kids, she goes from 4 (Mr Afton and his three kids), 3 (mr afton walks away), 2 (Elizabeth and Crying child) then just Elizabeth so the crying child can see Elizabeth die so that’s why the nightmares have stomach mouths

0:55 im so not up to date with the latest fnaf lore 💀

The children were like FBI OPEN UP

Interesting theory! I like your break down and timeline placement as well as reasoning. I think the foxy is the closet as a metaphor for a skeleton in his closet type setup.

I think that michael is watching tv because he completed the job in sister location and the sister location is at the same time as mid night motorist and that’s how william tells him about it that is y there is a different house in the game that is the afton’s house and foot prints is from the animatronic from the fnaf 4 game and the crying child ran to the fanf 4 house because its giving a memory of his sister and gets trapped in it because of the animatronics and you can also see the room in sister location

And I don't really this Elisabeth died before CC, judging by an empty room with mangle toy in FNaF 4 minigames she was younger than CC and Michael, possibly not even yet born by the events of 1983 (If I recall correctly, we can see a crib in that empty room) + for Elisabeth to die William needs to create fantime animatronics with the child-killing machinery -> meaning he needs a reason to kill children Before Charly's death, he really do not have a reson as he most likely get the idea of possetion only after he killed Charly and she possesed the pupet And it's implied in games that he kill her the same year he killed the MCI kids -> which led to the closer of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza -> which then led to the "opening" of Curcus Baby Pizza World

Great theory! I haven't heard this interpretation before to explain the layouts of the afton family. Although I'm still not convinced Elizabeth's death happens before CC's, the existence of the funtimes so early in the timeline is bothersome. I personally think CC is the first death of the series, after all it gives William the motivation to kill Charlie, to do the MKI and to create the funtimes. Also, I would be a bit more cautious using the "one retcon" argument when encountering a discrepancy in a theory, it can truly be used to justify anything

hmmm pretty good theory Elizabeth is one of the candidates for what bv saw, however a few things i dont think align with it: -bv seems to be scared of the spring suits specifically (fredbear to be more specific) as fredbear plush says, you know what happens when "he" (likely fredbear) catches you -this relies on later sl evidence of Elizabeth's existence and demise, fnaf 4 was originally planned to be the final chapter, so what he saw being something that didn't release yet is kinda sus, i think itd have to be something he saw at the time of the release of games 1-4, hard to say if she actually is dead by the time of fnaf 4, or if what bv saw could've somehow changed in the context of sl -this relies on the funtimes being made super early, within a week after the mci under mci 83 or 2 years before mci 85, even predating charlie since the theory is mm-bvrunaway and it seems to tie in with security puppet, for most people, they'd assume william learns a bit of possession after a few murders before making the soul/kid harvesting robots (speculated to be for the purpose of remnant or haunted metal) (although it still could be the case that Elizabeth dies first, and the other funtimes were reused for remnant later on) -in the vid it said that bv's rough day was due to elizabeth dying that day, explaining why he runs off to circus baby's, but technically he ran off multiple times, likely more than a couple of nights or days so this rough day in particular might not be rough because of elizabeth's death (if it was and he has ran off multiple times, maybe some phrase like he had a rough week maybe, i dunno, but just semantics, he could've still ran to pizza world) -the animatronic mm footprints in most theories are tied to the location the runaway kid runs off to (ex: shadow freddy luring bv to freddy's, or fredbear possessed by bv luring mike to his grave or something, spring bonnie being used to scare bv from going freddy's) but hard to say what left those footprints and why under this theory since definitely not baby's and with elizabeth being first to die and recently charlie in mm there's very few candidates for the three toed footprints, bv could still run off the pizza world but hard to tie in the theory with the animatronic footprints -hard to say if he saw what he saw at the time of mm, since what he saw gives him the courage to run off it feels sussy for it to scare him so much at the same time that he'd hide under tables from fredbear, this might mean that what he saw was after mm instead, that then scared him from the golden suits and location -it would be strange for bv to revist pizza world/run off multiple times because after the first time revisiting pizza world it would empty with nothing inside and everything moved by tons of cars (described by the cancelled teaser) into the bunker where we see the rentals at, all moved away the day right after elizabeth dies, unless he revisited pizza world often before elizabeth dies and goes there to escape william -there's the "what is seen in the shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child" which may imply what he saw wasn't what he thinks it is, as well it might've been somewhere shrouded in shadows, unlike pizza world which seems to be very sunny

Does this solve why cupcake committed several war crimes for no reason?

The way you explain makes so much sense, I have been a fan of fnaf for 10 years already and I didn't understand much about it back then but now I do, thanks for sharing the information.

Man, Midnight Motorist IS, in fact, the most debated minigame in the series now. I enjoy your points and the way you build the narrative, but I'm on the side that says that the runaway is Michael Afton, not the Crying Child. I mostly believe on it except when it comes to "that place" William mentions by the end. I can't think of other place (at least, already established in-universe and not "oh he goes to a bar, probably JR's, and William knows that" because we never saw Michael going there) than Sister Location, as you mention. However, as you also stated, that heavily goes against the _"I found it, it was right where you said it would be"_ quote by Michael, as he would already know that place and William being against Michael going there wouldn't make sense. Your take on the different houses, however, is something that I have nothing against and is actually the first time I saw someone came up with the different houses problem. The bullies being the ones who turned Michael into a bully is a reasonable argument that, even I not agreeing with him being the couch person, is well done. That said, I disagree with: -> "The FNaF 4 gameplay is closer to a perspective from someone of a length similar to The Crying Child's". Not really. He doesn't necessarily need to "imagine what the Crying Child went through", I believe that he is torturing himself every night because he feels extremely guilty of what he has done, but it doesn't necessarily means that he dreams that he is inside of the body of his younger brother. His three friends are there because he regrets that they once were friends, Foxy is an outlier because he regrets bullying his younger brother hiding in specific places. Nightmare Fredbear only appears in later nights because he spent more time with the other characters than shoving Crying Child's head into Fredbear, although Night 5 is solely dedicated to that animatronic and Night 6 has that neat detail of swapping the quartet to only Nightmare Fredbear. Also, to the argument that "he is too short to be Michael", Michael himself isn't that tall either, specially if the FNaF 4 gameplay takes not long after the Bite of 83. Regardless, this isn't something changes the overall story that much, if someone takes yours or mine path, they will end up in the same place either way, specially now with some theories saying that the FNaF 4 gameplay is an experiment William is doing with Michael using hallucinogenic gas and stuff. -> "The runaway is the Crying Child". I kinda doubt that a scared kid that can't stop crying and goes down for the slightest inconvenience would be an angry disobedient son that breaks his window and run from his parents home to the Sister Location bunker. Remember, this is before the Bite of 83', so he not only would have a huge change of mind in a short period of time, but the Sister Location technology would have to exist, not only on the same period, but prior to Fredbear's Family Dinner's springlock suits. Also, Elizabeth's death being before the Bite of 83 is not something I believe, neither heard actually. The main theory that the vast majority of people believe is that William Afton can't handle the death of his youngest son, so he tries to revive him, then he discovers "remnant" - which is somebody's soul attached to metal - and begins experimenting on other children, forcing Desk Man to make "the perfect animatronic to catch children", Baby. If Elizabeth dies before the bite victim, why would the Funtimes and Baby be designed to capture children in the first place? As for Elizabeth's absence in the FNaF 4 minigames: Game-wise Scott didn't plan her at the time and lore-wise she could be literally anywhere but at home. For example, she could study during the afternoon, while the bite victim would go to school during the morning or vice-versa. Or maybe the Crying Child wouldn't go to school at all because of his broken mental condition. Also, the _"Don't you remember what you saw?"_ line could be referring to the Purple Guy helping an employee to put a Spring Bonnie suit, which is backed up by _"What is seen in shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child."_ . "But that moment you are referring happens after Psychic Friend Fredbear says such things", true, but the scene itself is an easter egg that you can very easily miss, as it is in a small gap after _"You can find help if you can get past them. You have to be strong."_ triggers but you can't go too far to the left or else the minigame will end. As such, I believe this moment is a type of "flashback", specially because, if it was happening in real time, the Crying Child would implode as soon as he would see that head popping out of the suit. -> "The 'He had a rough day.' quote's meaning". I don't think "He had a rough day" HAS to have a meaning. Since I believe the runaway is not the Crying Child, but rather Michael, the couch person could be anyone and it kinda wouldn't matter. It could be Ms. Afton, Henry, Desk Man, or whoever William let home to take care of Michael. "He has a rough day." is an argument that the couch person would think to convince William to not go disturb Michael. And technically every day in Michael's life would be rough, because he is abused by his father and tormented by the fact he killed is brother. -> "Michael despises his younger brother because he is the cause of William's anger". Once again, I don't believe the Crying Child was even alive in the first place when Elizabeth died, neither that Michael has some genuine evil feel against his brother. In my head-canon, he is simply a young teen that doesn't know better and thinks that bullying his own brother is fun, having a change of heart once his "pranks" go too far.

I always like to imagine that the nightmares were inspired by the bullies that they encouraged the nightmares.also FNAF 4 is the game that doesnt really get a lot of attention despite that is my favorite game of the series always like to see more theories about it. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Going by the logic of the fnaf movie, I will have to assume that Elizabeth comes years after the crying child's death. When Michael is an adult looking after his younger sister.

Clearly the futuristic robot murderer sentient ai took place before the 80s inspired musty stationary animatronic puppet

That a competition for game theory also good editing

..Since when was the Fnaf 4 protagonist Michael? I thought it was always assumed to be the crying child

I really like your videos, you talk about things that I would’ve never thought of, and I find so them interesting and you make everything make a lot of sense, keep up the good work!

I love your background bro! Great video as well keep up the good work 👌

THATS WHAT IM SAYING HE MUST BE THE KEY

Its a shame the algorythm doesnt like you more.... You deserve more views :)

Divorce, not my son, roxie

Hey buddy, just a problem. Nightmares are not imaginations. From what we know, Breaker Room map showed us, Plushtrap Hallway and FNaF 4 Bedroom with gray dots that represent Nightmare Animatronics. They we're real alongside the test rooms. About the test rooms, the latest book Dittophobia confirmed that the nightmare rooms were set underground with mannequins. But with the hallucinations caused by gas they looked scarier.

“Chronic crying” 💀💀💀

Brooo you deserve a lot more views and subscribers!

I feel so bad for Evan 😩👍 Also underrated as heck! New sub! >:D

Keep it up buddy! While I don't agree 100% with some of your arguments, I enjoyed the video :)

Scott said, "What is seen in the shadows [i.e. seeing an employee in the suit] is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child."

I've just realised, the gas seemed specific... and now i think perhaps the gas that leaked in CBPW was the same gas from FNAF 4, or whatever its from?

You’re only 3 away, so I’m just gonna say this now - congratulations on 1,000 subscribers! I’ve just binge watched all your theories and they’re so entertaining! Here’s hoping that you only continue to grow from here, and I’m looking forward to more content from you in the future! Congrats again 😊🎉

I honestly think crying. hild died first and the thing he saw was charlies death. william prob killed her out jslausy and anger of henry being better at robotics and smarter

ONLY 403 fans??? You deserve more. I can easily see you becoming a top FNAF theorist ❤

I watched 3 sec and subbed very nice

This is a really interesting take :0

i don't think it makes sense for elizabeth to die before the crying child, and why would the crying child, that his reaction to fear is to curl up in a ball and cry smash the window, get outside to the animatronic that is looking through the window? I think it makes way more sense if later that night is either after the bite or after the crying child gets buried, and michael is the one to have a rough day having to deal with having killed his brother. That place could be the hospital where the crying child is or the burial memorial.

Michael has to be at least 18 by 1993 in order to work at Freddy's, since legally in the United States, a Security Guard job requires being a legal adult.

I see no way the tv person could be Michael. No one would demand anything of an abusive parent. It has to be a peer, someone with equal power to the yellow guy.

New favourite lore channel, I'm subscribing! Sometimes I'm ashamed that I like fnaf lore, I'm just scared to play the game myself, I'm 16 at the time of writing this comment. When I was younger, somebody showed me fnaf 3 springtrap jumpscare and ever since then I avoided horror.

Elizabeth died after Charlie and CC But yeah Couch man is Micheal and Runaway is CC

This is so cool! and although I don’t agree with some of it, like midnight motorist, a lot of your theories makes so much sense and flows really well, it’s easy to see that you put in a lot of thought :)

I don’t think Midnight Motorist portrays the Afton family. People say that since the car is purple it must be Afton, but brush the fact that the person is orange to the side? You can’t use the colour of something as definitive evidence if you ignore the colour of another thing when it contradicts your theory. I think this is something the FNAF community has got wrong.

9:43 Everything. Everything inside Micheal changed with sister location. Literally.

Nothing, he would have seen nothing. What seen in shadows implies nothing actually bad is going on, him being scared of everything is why he thinks so

LET EM COOK, HES ONTO SOMETHING 🗣️🗣️

I have to say that this is an intersting point of view. However i have to disagree with one part and that is the Midnight motorist. While the Elizabeth seems as the only solution if it show Aftons. The major problem comes with timing. If Circus babys pizza world opened before Fnaf 4 there is a question: Why? Why was CBPZ opened? To harvest remnant so Afton could experiment with it. This is a problem because Afton at this point in timeline doesn't know remnant exist. No kids are possesed until CC posseses Fredbear(or Charlie puppet depending on what you believe). How could Afton harvest remnant if he doesn't know it exist. I personally believe that Afton started with good intentions but went crazy after Bite of 83 but thats just theory.

Love the theory btw, but why do u think afton created murder bots so early in the timeline? It don’t make sense to me

I think it's being literal. When we begin he is already crying under the table. I believe he just saw the animatronics shadows or the animatronics themselves and ran and hid under the table prior to where we pick up.

i am thinking in the last 100 hour ago without stopping

Isn't it much more likely that "he hates you" refers to Mike? He's the one that usually pops up just before CC collapses crying on the ground. But the shakiest part is midnight motorist. There's just so little that makes sense as this being the Aftons. None of the characters act according to their established personalities. We know Mike as the one who bullies his brother while there's nothing to suggest William does, or that Mike would defend him. CC doesn't seem like the type to break his window to run out into the dark. If you were inside, wouldn't you just open it? Why would Scott randomly make William orange in this one instance? It's not because he isn't in the shadows, considering this takes place outside in the rain in the middle of the night. Meanwhile we know William was using a mascot suit to kidnap children and the minigames it's grouped with are of the MCI victims. Scott's hint for FNAF4 was also "What is seen in shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child." If CC saw his sister eaten by a robot, he'd have the absolutely correct reaction.

damn?? I'm not on board with 100% of the theory so far, but I have no idea how I never made the possible connection between Micheal Afton and the person watching the tv in Midnight Motorist. It feels so obvious now. Why would it be Mrs Afton when you've already got a dude in the family who famously watches tv like every day. I think your theory is really cool. I really just want there to be some /more/ satisfying explanation for things. Like why, if it is William, is the character in Midnight Motorist yellow, you know? That's not your theory's fault, though. I just really want to know the story the way Scott wanted to tell it, someday.

this is a good theory ❤ 485th subscriber :)

I love this theory and its explain very clearly. Even if some could be wrong its still great

So what your saying is, charlie and Elizabeth died the same day, bc in the MM source code, it says “later that night” which is implying that it was after the take cake to kids minigame, and the purple car implies it as well.

nice vid bro!!! and the "crying child" name is evan btw

Dope video

In fact, we DON'T know the meaning of Midnight Motorist, nor do we KNOW if Elizabeth died first (I personally believe the HW2 gravestone order)

Alright everyone is missing that the MCI totally happened in 83 i swear man. Its either that or some weird stuff has to happen that we don’t know yet. 1. Remember what you saw” - The crying child saw something, and the idea that it was just a misunderstanding is unsatisfying to me for several reasons. a. It is william who is telling the crying child to remember what he saw. Why would William want to scare his children away from the pizzeria before he’s killed anyone? b. The green eyed girl directly states what happened to the MCI kids, almost as though by the time of the Fnaf 4 minigames, the children had already been stuffed and rumors about them have already gotten out. c. “Do you miss them” is spoken by cassidy to the crying child, heavily implying that he was friends with the missing children. Not to mention the lines of “these are my friends” and “we are still your friends” from fnaf 4. All these lines go a long to make it seem like the CC KNEW the MCI kids and that they are dead by the time of fnaf 4. 2. MM. a. The grave outside the house shows that someone has to be dead before charlie, but it can’t be the CC if he hasn’t seen anything because then the fnaf 4 lines don’t make sense. b. Jrs doesnt let william in which is the only time anyone is turned away from any building besides in fnaf 2 when they suspect a previous employee of committing the MCI. 3. The security puppet. The puppet in its minigame seems specifically designed to keep charlie safe. This makes the most sense if Henry suspected william of something and designed the puppet to keep his kid safe. Even if its not designed specifically for charlie, why would the puppet be stopping kids from reaching the exit when supposedly the only dead kid is the CC, who died inside as a result of a prank. 4. “I was the first" repeated over and over again, it seems odd that this line is repeated if in reality Charlie is the first victim. If the MCI is first in the timeline, then this line makes a lot more sense.

I like your theory.

This is why I want to protect crying child

Alright here's my stand on this theory or this part of the timeline. Henry says in the insanity ending that he worked with William to help build baby or the funtimes at most. And he has blueprints on the scooper. And that Circus Baby's Pizza World was created after a Freddy's location had shut down. By the second Freddy's location it's safe to say him and Henry weren't on terms so I reckon Henry helped William after the first freddy's shut down around 1985-1987. This would mean before this, both Charlie and CC have died around 1983 ish, and Elizabeth dies in between 1985-1987. Now why would William be trying to make murder weapons at this point? Well he already did the MCI and he made a promise to his son that he would put him back together, and since he believes he may of possessed Golden Freddy or Fredbear, that he would need to create robots to collect kids for experiments. Henry didn't know what he was helping with but he had blueprints for the scooper obviously so we can see he has involvement in it. And he knows it was bad and he shouldn't have done it. So yeah I think he helps William after first Freddy's, then realises he can't be trusted so William plans to kill more kids for research or just to get back at Henry

Interesting video. I'm curious what your thoughts on why William would create the Funtimes so early, though perhaps you have a reason. Either way, hope to see your channel grow. Subbed!

I think you have a good grasp on everything, you're explanation about everything makes really good narrative sense, except for Elizabeth's death. The moving, Michael being a good brother and only bullying CC after making bad friends, and your explanation of FNAF 4 all really work I just think Elizabeth's death cannot have happened that early in the timeline. Without the bite or Charlie possessing The Puppet, why would William make the Funtimes? I mean we can always just go with the fact that he's just insane and was always evil but it seems like that's not the case in the story we are being presented. Maybe the CC was just an extremely sensitive kid, I mean it makes sense that given the time period this takes place in if the CC was seen as soft it may not be good for him so he could still cry a lot and have self-esteem issues, idk how much merit that has but it's a thought.

I always thought the crying childs room was broken into by an animatronic based off of the footprint and the shattered window glass being on the inside of the house and not the outside

6 words for this video. WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87

So why would random kids go inside his house to get there willingly

wsg. Great theory video, it was explained well and quite easy to understand. although I don't completely agree with some parts of it. Let me explain. Outside the house in midnight motorist, there is animatronic footprints. now this part might be a stretch but when you look at the window that's broken, I don't see any glass shards on the floor, which presents that someone or something broke into the building/house. My theory is that this family that we see is not the Afton's. Some people refer to orange guy as William, commonly because the car is purple, but this could just be a coincidence (not saying it definitely is). I think this family is either the family of henry Emily or just a family of one of the kids that William murdered. This can be backed up by the animatronic footprints I mentioned before that I think is the footprints of William Afton in his murder suit aka the spring lock suit he uses to lure kids to where he wants them. I'm not sure if anything here made sense or not, it could be a bit of a stretch however I would love to see a video of you elaborating on this theory, I've subscribed, let me know if you end up creating one. Thanks for reading this far :D

“Solving FNAF lore” sir , the lore will not end until FNAF stops being profitable

It really makes me think.. that William and Henry really might be one and the same person...

I’m pretty sure “That place” is referring to the homemade grave right behind their house

So is the order of the deaths: Charlie, Elizabeth, then CC? Because if CC died in Fredbear’s Family Diner to Golden Freddy and that was the first location, then the Puppet also had to have been at Fredbear’s OR another location had to have been open at the same time where the Puppet was for Charlie to die there and get possessed by the puppet. Either way, Charlie has to die before Elizabeth because it wouldn’t make sense for William to make Baby and the other Funtimes unless he knew about Remnant and the Puppet was the one who gave the original MCI kids life. I used to think CC’s death had to be first because it gave William a motive to kill Charlie, but he could’ve killed Charlie just because he was jealous of Henry rather than he was grieving CC. Basically my question is- do we know where Charlie died? Because that’s the key to understanding who died, in what order.

0:50 illusion disks willy has a lot of those

But fnaf 4 isn’t a real house, it isn’t a dream either, the newest fnaf books confirm that fnaf 4 is a game about “nightmare gas” And the “house” isn’t actually a house, it’s a testing room with fake “mannequin like” figures just moving on tracks.

it also is quite comen for older siblings to be antagonistic towords their younger sibling, especially infront of their friends, but being protectiv where the younger will not know, like infront of the parents. My brother did stuff like standing up to our parents when I was not there all the time and I learned later about it from my parents

700th subscriber 🔥🔥🔥

You. I like you. Subbed.

That height at the beginning is what I say people who thinks fnaf 4 is michaels pov

Michael ran away

what if instead of fnaf 4 happening right after fnaf 1 its happening during sister location, which is probably after the events of fnaf 1

Even though part of this was disproven in a book this it the BEST. Fnaf theory that ive heard in awhile

This theory sounds very possible (except Golden Freddy not being real 'cause we see him at the end of FFPS/FNAF 6)

Circus baby is set up to take children due to William's wanting to harness the power that allows spirits to possess animatronics. This has to be for a reason. That reason? Most likely trying to bring crying child back. Most likely crying child is the death that kick starts the whole thing. There are two houses. The FNAF 4 house is connected to the property that also houses Fredbears Family Diner. This means the house seen in this mini game is after Crying Child's death. Most likely, Michael is the one who escaped from the window. It is likely that William was very hard if not abusive of Michael after Crying Child's death. One thing people have a hard time figuring out is the footprints outside Michael's bedroom. My theory is that it is Golden Freddy before his endoskeleton was removed.

One thing about the start of the video, mainly the reversed Phone Guy ambiance. I don't think that it is relevant to the lore. Even all the way back when FNAF 4 first released, you could still just call it an Easter egg, and not a lore bit. It is literally a garbled reused asset put into the ambiance of the game. Compared to other lore sources, it doesn't seem as solid. And that's not even mentioning that even *if* the noise is lore-relevant, it may not be related to the -current- lore. Since Scott was (probably) originally making the series into "it was all a dream" (or Dream Theory), but then after Fnaf 4 deciding that the fans wouldn't like it, and changed the lore. If the Phone Guy easter egg is lore-relevant, it might have been originally connecting to the "it was all a dream" narrative, rather than the current narrative

If CC watched Circus Baby murder his sister wouldn't of he had nightmares of baby?

I like this video, gives more attention to the crying child who is the character who started the fnaf universe. But one thing I don’t get in the franchise is that Michael seemingly died in fnaf sl but is eating popcorn later in the game, with the game implying he resembles Enard. So then it makes it very confusing is Michael dead or not?

This theory is very off at some points. Why would the fun times have the ability to capture kids before the the bite of 83 and why would William even built the fun times before discovering remnant? This theory doesn’t make that much sense?

no, the crying child is the pov player, he is GREGORY.

ngl i never belived this even after i was an mci 83er, idk just i think if cc saw lizzie in the process of being scooped baby would just stop the scooping process, i belive bv either saw cassidy, charlie, or the stage 01 kid (possibly andrew?)s death, MAYBE a springlock failure

Why would William be building murder animatronics like the funtimes so early in the timeline?

Crying child is not the run away. He hates it at Freddy's.

I thought the timeline for FNAF games was: FNAF 4 FNAF Sister Location FNAF 1 FNAF 2 FNAF 3 FNAF Pizzeria Simulator Why are you saying that the events of FNAF 1 took place before FNAF 4? What suggests this? Is it because in FNAF 4 you can hear the phone guy from 1? If so, i don't think you should be taking something Scott added as a quirky detail as concrete evidence with deep lore implications.

the grey person in front of the TV isnt mike? right? yes sure they are both grey but they are both a different shade of grey. they dont have the same hexcodes. i remember seeing a vid that speculated that the grey is will and orange is their mom
