#brightonghosts

[lxverslvts]

im not the best at solving for clues and all this, but i noticed some (admittedly obvious) loose threads on “findjackwalten.com”

nothing too serious but, it's always intrigued me how on "findjackwalten.com/brightonghosts", following the link on "can a Ghost KILL me? redirects to, not one of the explanation paragraphs written by y, that all the others do, but to "findjackwalten.com/missing"

Missing has been updated a couple times:

originally, in 2021, the page had an image of cut up paper shreds a distorted face (believed to be the face of Charles Brook) it also had text off to the side saying "did you forget about me?"

a second update was done, removed the image and stated “ill see you soon”

the third update showed a cracked, presumably porcelain, baby face

and as of current, the website is blank

could this mean anything?

i don’t really have any theories, but considering all the links on BrightonGhosts either aren’t real or lead to similar silly web pages and then “can a ghost KILL you” becomes so much more serious? it really stuck out to me.

My first thought went to Jack when i saw “missing” cuz duh (i personally think jack is still alive though), then the letter to Felix asking about a missing Susan, who, we know, was killed by bon. With the knowledge of “Bon” from twf4 being the most ghost-like character in the series thus far i feel like this could be hinting at bon potentially not being possessed by a person and instead an entity or whatever, a “ghost” could equally be a dead person though so i might be wrong

whether it means anything or not i’ve never heard anyone talk about this before so i thought i’d post this

Findjackwalten 07/15/23 Update #1 and #2 Walkthrough

Findjackwalten updated TWICE yesterday! There's no new pages but a LOT of already existing pages have changed, several of them more than once.

UPDATE #1:

Findjackwalten.com

Lots of these images of Bon have appeared on top of the whole page. The page in this screenshot is SUPPOSED to be grey except for the new bons, but The Wayback Machine doesn't archive that color overlay in the page capture.

If you use something like Ublock Origin to remove the Bon assets you can see the bit of white-on-black text reads "Say something..."

This image also seems to be the same as the backdrop to this teaser

Seeing it now it's more obvious what the drawing is actually of. Bon is wearing a hard hat, with little screws and bolts of electricity around him. It seems engineering-related, like somewhere Susan would work.

Findjackwalten.com/martinguaridasecretanoentrar

This page has been outfitted with three new Funny Walten Facts

"Goodfaith Caring"

This one's enigmatic. Exact google search results are nonexistent (IE, searching the name in quotation marks), so it probably refers to something in universe? It's capitalized, so it's a proper noun. Maybe the name of a company? Maybe even the name of an episode of something? An episode of The Walten Files? and episode of Little Bon's Neighborhood? An episode of The Showstoppers Comedy Extravaganza?????? It's so vague I really don't even know what to say here.

"Sha was originally named "Belle" or "Belly" so that all the names would start with a B and be named the "THE 4 B's" or "THE B PACK" instead of "THE SHOWSTOPPERS", but Sha sounded more adequate. She was actually the last showstopper to be made and a final addition because back when TWF was a fangame i needed a character to balance the group more and a more adequate stage companion to Bon than Banny (too similar to Candy and Cindy from good ol FNaC) so Sha was made, so yeah, my fav showstopper right there."

Something I mostly knew already but was pretty obscure! I always really love getting a look into the creation of The Walten Files, and this bit about Sha only existing as to make Welcome to Bon's Burgers less similar to Five Nights at Candy's is a really fun fact.

"No she wasn't homeless, it was just cheaper than paying for an actual apartment"

An elaboration on the Sophie fact from before. This just makes this previously devastating Sophie information really funny. He lived in a meat shop for three years because the rent was cheap. His whole life is so bizarre.

Findjackwalten.com/poker

Nearly the same as always, except the top text has changed to read "It was not quick."

Findjackwalten.com/890247895yuiowarsehiofhkjy890wte

There is LOADS of text on this page now. It reads like more Anthony website posting, which definitely confirms this being a sort of bizarro 'missing link' from the nonfunctional "Object Possession" link on /brightonghosts.

This "Jazmin Doll" story is completely fictional and exclusive to the universe of The Walten Files. There is some (completely unsubstantiated) speculation that Child's Play could be based on the real-world haunted artifact of Robert the doll, but that's obviously not what's being referred to here.

The important information here is this:

"dOnce [sic] the soul chooses it's vessel, it becomes it's body. However, the longer it spends inside of it. The more it becomes it's ACTUAL body. (Jazmin's body was the doll, the wood was her skin, the wooden arm was her real arm.) it can cause it pain and it can feel everything it touches. this has been named amongst us ghostfans as "Post-Extensive Object Possesion"'

This is like. a CRAZY bomb of information to be given about the ghosts in this universe. I don't want to theorize about it too much since I try to keep crazy theories away from these walkthrough posts, but holy shit.

Another little thing here is that there's some odd letters on this page that i'm not totally willing to write off as just typos. There's a missing "e" and "g" in this bit here:

And an extra letter "d" here:

No clue what this means, or if it spells something, or anything.

Last thing I wanna point out with this one page is the little stipulation at the beginning where Anthony mentions that if the story he talks about is proven fake, he might delete the page. This might be what happened, and why the main /brightonghosts page doesn't link off to it?

Findjackwalten.com/ghosttalk

This page is the same except for this little addition just at the bottom:

This update seems to corroborate the new information on the Object Possession page, that ghosts within haunted objects eventually 'become' the object and experience a sort of 'life' within it.

Findjackwalten.com/brightonghosts

A new update from Anthony!

He's found some new stuff to show us! And apparently the K-9 facility is now demolished? That sounds familiar enough that it might've been something we knew before but I can't exactly remember. The Jane Walten mystery continues.

Findjackwalten.com/btscene

Just a small update, one new image at the very bottom:

UPDATE #2

Findjackwalten.com

The same as the last main page update, but with new white-on-black text:

This is a quote from How The Grinch Stole Christmas, which is... interesting? It's making me think back on notable presents in The Walten Files. We see a lot of present boxes in Bunnyfarm that usually involve a ghost/animatronic giving one to Sophie which kickstarts a Scary segment.

There's also the fact that Rocket was a Christmas present

Findjackwalten.com/poker

A really weird update here. We have that exact same quote from How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and the normal /poker image has been replaced with one with this ominous white face peering out from behind the grandfather clock.

Findjackwalten.com/brightonghosts

Just a little funny edit of Anthony trying to fix his slipup

Findjackwalten.com/poker ....again?

This update to /poker happened maybe an hour or less after the previous one.

the Grinch quote has been changed to read "oops!", and the painting has been replaced with this darkened, almost pitch-black version. If you use some photo editing software to brighten the image, you get:

Oops indeed.

[briansmells]

"robot maintenence and repair" scene shows little bon holding bon's detached left arm

bon's left arm is "kinda broken" according to the original twf 1 captions. brian got cut off; bon chased him after testing said arm. close-up scare ends with bon crying

susan took off his right arm's suit piece, the most "stiff and odd" of his limbs. he then killed her

bon reaches to take off his mask with his right arm and (presumably) holds down victims with the left

'The discovery was made when [...] the father would remove [Jazmin the doll's] arm to switch it with a new one, since then tears were falling down the dolls' eyes for an entire day. [...] After [Jazmin] sat motionless for 3 months, the priest decided to do another attempt at removing the arm. This time the doll moved and bled. Shaking rapidly attempting to get away, only to stop shortly after.' (findjackwalten brightonghosts page on object possession)

this post

Ah. Much to think about.

[beautifulcrayon]

This part of the brightonghosts update is very funny to me

[findjackwalten]

i saw some of your posts about the recent update to the website and i saw a mention of how the character anthony has gone over theories on how ghosts work in the story’s universe, would you happen to know where that info is on the site or if there is a post that compiles that info?

Yes! Anthony has a whole section on findjackwalten under /brightonghosts where he has pages on 'known' ghost interactions and his own speculations.

lets run through them briefly

/ghosthaunt where we get an introduction to what ghosts are and why they might exist. There's a paragraph where a therapist discusses the relationship between the dead and the living which is really interesting to apply to the series as a whole

/endghost, which is a seemingly joke page until you scroll to the bottom and it drops this really harrowing line: 'haha just kidding, I have no idea. There's never been any well-known instance where one has to defeat or neutralize an Un-Dead being' which is TERRIFYING to imply

/ghosttalk, where there's an in-depth perspective on interaction between the dead and the living shown through a man using sentimental objects and paper to communicate with his dead wife. It's really interesting to see the process described as ritual-like, and the ghosts being almost non-sentient. They seem to exist as vaccums of emotion and presence depending on the circumstance. On this page we see pages Ferrel's wife is claimed to have written on, deciphered here:

(courtesy of thewaltenarchives on neocities)

/poker. the page currently has a tip-off to find /rosemarysartroom. The original page used to reply to the prompt 'can I play poker with a ghost', saying "No, it's not possible to play poker with a ghost, they're dead, after all."

and finally, 'can a ghost kill me?' which leads to /missing, the page that the first version of the site that functioned as a missing poster for jack used to have as a link-in to contact if you had found Jack Walten. spooky.

I would definately reccomend poking around yourself. These are the only links on Anthony's section that seem to directly promise ghost-related content but the whole website is obviously full of them LOL. Anthony is also a fun character.

[gir-posting]

i think the findjackwalten section of your carrd is missing a link to the most recent update of /poker !

OHH yeah i was thinking of that too! but i dont have it on there for the same reason i don't have /jackwalten or /ghosttalk, since all those pages are hosted on anthony's page and accessible on the archived page :0 thank u sm fr looking out tho!

[juulzu]

martin you sneaky bitch

I just found a clue in plain sight what the fuck

I noticed that there were some letters in the website that had a light cyan colour instead of yellow...like, a lot of them

after a few tries and a long period of staring at my screen, the letters almost perfectly spell out:

 B R I G H T O N  -  G H O S T S

ya’ll- take a closer look at every website, martins hiding some shit

EDIT: I did a little bit of searching and turns out its a website connected to the series: https://www.findjackwalten.com/brightonghosts

check it out! it definitely has some interesting stuff!

[softchonk]
