Finding Out More About the Afton Family - FNAF Theory 

I’m writing this as we’re going through so please forgive me, I’m writing this after I watched the Mike segment; There’s a noticeable note I’d like to point out in FNAF 1, that may or may not add to the Michael Afton is Mike Schmidt argument; in the start up screen, where you see the newspaper ad for Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza- it’s circled around with looks to be red ink from a pen. In the security logbook; what does Mike use? A red pen and as far as we know- he’s the only one that canonically uses a red pen in the lore. It’s basically Mike’s signature color in that logbook; to separate him from the other entities like Cassidy and The Altered Text in the logbook. It might be a red herring or out of coincidence but it is a note worth taking. I’d also like to note that Mike Schmidt was tampering with the animatronics, the custom night kind of implies that he does but in my understanding; it also implies that he knows how to work with animatronic equipment. which gives me the idea that it is Michael Afton because at the time, other than William or Henry- he’s the only other character who has the know-how because of his technician background. Edit: I know you said it could be William but it’s more likely that he’s the guard that was BEFORE Jeremy in FNAF 2 (because how else would he get easy access to the spring Bonnie suit?). Fritz Smith who came after Jeremy was fired on his first day, which was the night shift he was on. I don’t think Fazbear Entertainment would hire the same guy twice neither do I think William would put THAT MUCH effort to go back on the night shift, who could have simply asked to be put back on the night shift. Not to mention another thing that I want a put a not on, Michael has a classic Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Security Logbook; implying that at some point he was a security guard at one of those establishments- it can’t be Fazbear’s fright simply because 1) it’s not a functional pizza place and 2) not under the official Fazbear company Why I mention this is because in the logbook, it’s implied that the book was taken from Mike and was repurposed for the next guard (hence why in the beginning, it says “oh most of this is scrubbed and erased”) like why would the guys from Fazbear’s fright erase all of that? For their attraction, that would’ve been a gold mine But for Fazbear Entertainment, that wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary, because if a guard is writing oddly suspicious things about your company, you as Fazbear Entertainment would want that stuff GONE so rumors can’t be spread and end up causing distress upon your next hire. So In conclusion, I still believe Michael is Mike and Fritz from the first two games because of plenty of factors like- Jeremy still being on the nightshift when the kids went missing, the only viable suspect would be the guard who switched to the dayshift before him Fritz Smith was a new employee as opposed to the guard before Jeremy or Jeremy himself. He was fired on his first day. And Mike having a Security Logbook that was likely reclaimed by Fazbear Entertainment meaning it was still active at the time that Mike had it

For your reasoning, why Michael isn’t in Fnaf two for the facial recognition if they aren’t possessed he looks so much like his father that even his sister first thought it was him so facial recognition from the 80s probably would think it was him too. and if it wasn’t the facial recognition I think they’re still possessed, but not in the way most people think I think some parts were taken from the withereds and using the toys so they became like the funtimes erratic, that’s why they stare at adults and attack the night guard, but are fine around kids.

As for Mike and FNAF 1, I think the fact that we can hear the FNAF 1 phone calls in the dreams in FNAF 4 suggests that the person having the dreams was the same person in FNAF 1. Therefore we can say with some confidence that if Michael Afton is the FNAF 4 person he’s also the FNAF 1 person…

good fortnite theory

If Gregory is an incomplete cc his willingness to fight the animatronics could be that he represents the side of cc that braved through the fear to fight the nightmare animatronics (if we assume either that he's the fnaf 4 protagonist or atleast one of the victims of the experiments)

this is a really well made video & theory, i can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers !!

Man this is underrated, I see the amount of effort you put into this one video Thanks you so much to make this video. I now know the afton family will thanks to you bro Keep up with the Great work And imma sub you

What if the phone guy is actually Michael afton? No other person would know so much about the Aftons

At 6:57 you say the only reason you could think of the toys flagging Michael as a criminal is if he was charged for cc's death but you said this shortly after playing a clip where he explicitly said the funtimes mistook him for william who presumably would have a criminal record by this time in the series and thus the toys might have mistooken Mike for william also it doesn't even matter if they mistook him for william because (of I remember correctly) it was mentioned that the toys seem to not trust adults anymore suggesting the possibility of being havked/tampered with or possesed

Nice FNAF theory

At 8:02 you say Mike didn't change his name in sister location but technically we don't ever find out what he was trying to type because hand unit autocorrected it to eggs Benedict so while it is true that we can assume he was going to type some name starting with Mike or Michael given the name tag on hand unit he could have been intending to use Mike Schmidt and when it autocorected to eggs Benedict he just went with it and saved the Schmidt name for another location to save himself the effort of coming up with aliases

3:00 I've never seen a single person say they believe tape girl to be Vanessa, its widely agreed upon that we play AS Vanessa in the events of help wanted 1, and getting controlled in the endings. I don't think we even have a name for tape girl tbh. So I dont think that really disproves glitchtrap taking control of her. Still a quality theory other than that one single thing

A major reason people belive Mike is fnaf 1 amd 2s protagonist is because amongst the phantoms seen we see mangle the puppet balloom boy and withered foxy proving beyond a doubt that the fnaf 3 protagonist has atleast seen these 4 characters most likely as a night guard and not as a customer considering withered foxy wouldn't be on display for customers to see and similarly we see classic chica and either freddy or golden freddy wich is less concrete because freddy and chica would still be on stage but if it is actually withered golden freddy and not classic freddy (wich seems to be the case) then that's even more evidence of Mike at fnaf 2 as the floating spectral head of retired pizzarea mascot possesed by an angry spirit isn't the kind of thing fazbear would show and thus withered golden freddy was likely only ever seen by night shift employees

amazing theory what game is this about

May I branch of your idea for a theory video?

The name change stuff is so early in fnaf yet still argued about today. It's crazy. Personally I don't like Gregbot theory. I think the vision distortion is for gameplay. I don't think there is any convincing evidence that connect Greg and crying child. At best comparison is symbolic. But the rest of the vid... I can sort of see it. Rip the Afton mom. Mom's get nothing in this franchise lol.

Someone else who thinks Vanessa is being controlled by Elizabeth (or Vanny persona *is* Elizabeth ala Jekyll and Hyde) with her childlike mannerisms being used as evidence?! LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOO! 🤟

Nice roblox theory

wat if william creates greg because he waz sad that his son died

Wait I got a question. In your other theory, you said The Puppet was the Mimic. But, how did the Mimic know how to make spirits live on? (tell me if i need to explore more about my question)

OMG NO WAY ITS MIKE HAWK

Neat!
