The IMPOSSIBLE Mystery of PSYCHIC FRIEND FREDBEAR | FNaF Analysis 

Hey everyone, I wanted to clear something up. My joke rant section of the video implied that CC is still alive when MICHAEL goes to the bunker. This isn't what I meant to convey. The point is: For the breaker room map to depict fredbears with CC in his room AND the 2 animatronics on stage, that has to mean that those conditions were possible at the time of it's construction. However, those conditions shouldn't be possible. Handunit says that the bunker is only made AFTER 1985 Freddy's closes. So CC should already be dead when that breaker map is being designed. This is the odd detail I wanted to mention Even if you disagree with me, im always open to have a civil discussion, and I'm glad people are enjoying the video. Thanks ❤

I’ll never unsee Plushbear talking to CC like the goblin mask 💀

He’s here,he’s there, he’s everywhere, who you gonna call? It’s Psychic Friend Fredbear

love how we all adapted the name "psychic friend fredbear" because of matpat

5:16 i’d like to add that the finger trap kid points out that we dont have our plush! So it definitely can still talk to him w/o being present, he’s not carrying it around. Great vid btw.

I really love that whole segment of William explaining to his “Dear Son Micheal™” all the inexplicable plot holes and nonsense that come up as a part of this timeline. Just a really funny way to express frustration with what tends to pop up as a consequence of this story’s flippantly created narrative, I hope you bring that bit bavk if you ever come up to this kind of conflict in another theory

Every time you said the crying kid was alive near the end, im thinking: you sure hes not a robot? I mean bro is getting power...

I already commented, but I wanted to also say that it's a brilliant insight that Bite Victim was friends with the 5 MCI kids in real life and that might explain Fredbear's cryptic dialogue in the minigame. I've been theorizing about FNAF for years but I guess that was a blind spot for me. It seems so obvious now.

“I got no lore, I got no clues or hints. I got no lore because I made the whole shit up. And now MatPat’s fucking pregnant…” 😂

Couldn't the 2 animatronics in Family Dinner breaker room just be Fredbear and SpringBonnie? Not the springlock version, the regular version that existed before the springlock suits. This would also explain how there can be a Fredbear on stage and someone using the springlock suit at the same time.

I wish I could listen to full versions of the interlude songs in these videos, they are amazing.

I still believe the basic theory that fredbear was was just a way for William to talk to his kid. Ik that sounds dumb but it makes sense to me. Probabaly bc Jake from FF novels had a plushy that his father would use to talk to him in the hospital. I always thought he was a parallel to CC so that convinced me

The dots HAVE to be representing where animatronics and people COULD be, otherwise there would be five animatronics in the Plushtrap hallway for no reason, and 3 seperate CCs in all of the different rooms. Not to mention all the issues you brought up with it.

I have always, ALWAYS believed William used his sons plushbear in those experiments, AFTER the kids death. I've stuck to the plush being haunted and not William in 4 for 6 years now. The Nightmare anims were always Mike's

22:15 So I'm not the only one who noticed the hidden 6th gravestone! :D btw my explanation for the plush is this: it's an imaginary friend that CC is projecting onto the plush, it's really just him talking to himself in his head and he's projecting it onto plushbear. With the slightly yellow text at the end of the game being William.

I love all the short bits of fnaf songs and other pop culture references

I totally think Plushbear is... THE MIMIC!!!!

How I interpret the breaker room map is that it is the blueprints for CBEAR (circus baby entertainment and rentals), representing that the bunker was created while freadbears family diner was open. If fredbears was indeed the first location it must have had a power suppy of its own, and when CBEAR opened its power supply could have been moved to the bunker, or, more likely, the power is just for cameras or speakers and microphones for observatory stuff William was doing given the "obsv.2" name. Also, the dots would represent the animatronics and not be literally them, beacuse, as you said, there is probably more than just one fredbear suit, and at least the Ballora dot should be moving if it is tracking the animatronics. If it was literal, why is every funtime at their stage? they only do that if shocked. And the white dot is definetely NOT literal, since there are three of them, and the should mean that there is someone with plushtrap and someone in the fnaf4 observatory bedroom, which makes no sense. Who would this dots be? I think the same logic that goes for the grey dots applies to the white dots, it is supposed to represent where the "subject" or person being observed should be, and not be literal. Maybe something like its base location, like, start point type thing. I think this is ment to show us that the CBEAR bunker was created in 1983 (I think I should make a clarification: the bunker is not the same as the rental service, the bunker can exist without the rental service or circus baby pizza world). William could have made the bunker for his psico stuff at the same time he made circus baby pizza world in 1983, then transform it into CBEAR after original freddys closed. This would make elizabeth death take place before CC but im not here to talk about that lol.

I think that the fnaf 4 isnt actually showing the real fnaf 4,and CC just is reliving the same days over and over cause he couldn't find his body (like in "alone together") and that his body is under the lump as a poorly made grave This would explain plushbear,as plushbear is an exaggerated version of the real deal (like the nightmares) and the real fnaf 4 just had william talk to him,with the main line,and the line that CC remembers most,being "I will put you back together"

I completely agree with the theory you proposed about the MCI taking place before fnaf 3. Phone guy in fnaf 2 tells us that the old location was left to rot for quite a while (I would assume more than 2 years) and the last fnaf 1 secret newspaper implied that either the original or the fnaf 1 location closed years after the MCI happened. The fnaf 3 minigames is crying child being put back together with his friends so he can get the party that he would have had in fnaf 4 is his friends were not dead, his happiest day. That’s why the happiest day minigames looks so similar to the layout of Fredbear’s diner, and the kids are wearing masks like the bullies in fnaf 4. That’s why fnaf world connects the crying child and phychic friend Fredbear with the fnaf 3 minigames. The hint about Toy Chica’s beak was to connect what we see in the fnaf 4 minigames with the charecters we play as in the fnaf 3 minigames, and I think the hint about what is seen in the shadows was reffering to CC mistaking the shadows of animatronics as actual animatronics. The hint about 4 games, 1 story, was meant to mean that dream theory wasn’t what Scott intended. I honestly have no clue what the fredbear plush is, it must be some form of entity because it’s involved with setting up the fnaf 3 minigames in fnaf world. Perhaps it could be the puppet, but then I don’t know who you are leaving clues for (setting the clocks) in fnaf world. It’s hard to say if Crying child is golden Freddy or not, if he is, duel spirit theory must be true, and if he isn’t, the fnaf 3 good ending where golden Freddy’s light go out couldn’t be crying child’s spirit. Also, I still have no idea who we play as in fnaf 4, the gameplay, logbook, and sister location make it all very confusing. It could either be Mike, Crying child, or the bite of 87 victim we play as, and each of these options have evidence that goes against it. Sorry if I rambled a bit here.

“ My theory for 18:15 “What if the blimps on the fredbear map in the bunker is just to show where the animatronics would usually be as same as where cc would normally be. What if its the future and fredbears is closed and cc is already dead and the blimps on the map are just to hint to u this is where cc would be witch hints this is the afton house. While the fredbear and springbonnie dots is to hint that thats the dinner. Maybe William used the dinner layout to mimic the fredbear plushie for when his son was alive. As well as to mimic him in the house kinda like how he mimics the nightmares? thats just my theory tho.

This makes a lot of sense, it would also align with scotts ONE retcon being the fredbear plush with the radio in SL. It was changed seamlessly.

“In the mind of a child” that line by Scott is so mysterious. It made me look at this vid with a quickness

I think that the "I will put you back together" line was said by Cassidy. It would explain the questions in the log book she asks crying child.

A lot of ways I’ve seen people explain the bunker is that in help wanted 2 in the Funtime Freddy level their is a tag that has “pizza world” written on it which would imply that circus baby’s pizza world was connected to the bunker, and since Fredbear’s was connected to the bunker then people say that after Fredbear’s closes that it was repurposed for circus baby’s pizza world before it never opened due to “gas leaks”, we know fazbear or at the very least William wouldn’t be above just reusing shi they already own, which would allow the timeline to be still in tact without weird shenanigans, for the two dots you could say they were two of the Funtime animatronics or something, and that since it isn’t a to scale layout accuracy because the parts room isn’t their that’s in the Fnaf 4 mini games that maybe the fun times are in other rooms just not shown on the map, kind of like how if you believe Charlie died at Fredbear’s and that the puppet mini game shows the back alley of Fredbear’s that it’s a extra party or arcade room just not shown on the map is their, the only thing I can’t explain is why their is a white dot representing cc is their, unless William somehow is able to track ghosts which in all honesty wouldn’t even be close to far fetched at this point of the franchises logic 😭, loved the video tho can’t wait to see more! Hope this helped, 💯

Also my Dear Son Michael! Fredbear Plush! My dear Son Michael! PIGTAIL GIRL!

It can be that it's possessed by CC and we are seeing his memories before he died. Think about it, at the end we immediately hear CC on his death bed implying he was there the whole time. William spying on CC is 100% confirmed via Sister Location and The Real Jake and who would be dead at that point to possess Phycic Friend Fredbear beside Charlie so it must be this option.

If the plush is CC's dead friend, "I will put you back together" could just mean setting up Happiest Day. That would line up with FNAF World being about setting up Happiest Day too.

Could the plush “teleporting” just be a visual cue for us as players to see that William was constantly monitoring CC with cameras at all the locations? It’s clear William has some sort of monitoring system in place given we see all these locations in the Sister Location breaker room maps.

I personally like the idea of the mom/Mrs. Afton possessing the plush. It would make sense of why it cares about CC and knows so much about his home life, while explaining where she is in the FNAFverse

The Puppet is Plushbear -The puppet is the only spirit that we know of which was around during Fredbear’s time -The Puppet is often depicted with glowing white circular eyes just like Plushbear -The puppet is know for giving life. And Plushbear “puts people back together” -Scott also released two teasers which is a yellow bear plush with strings on them Also if the second most likely candidate Golden Freddy was Plushbear why write in the book “does he still he still talk to you” I think Cassidy would know if it was her And William was not established during Fnaf 4

This is completely off the rails and has very little to do with your lovely video, but you reading the questions in the survival logbook made a few details hit me like a truck. "Was your favorite ride the carousel?" Is the little brother in the choose your own adventure book supposed to be paralleling that? and if so,,, why would it be? why is that important? or is it just a fun little nod to the logbook? is it a synchronicity and I'm just crazy? (Context, in VIP, your little brother, Ike, has a favorite ride. the Merry-Go-Round/Carousel. to access most of the book you ditch him on it for a little while, after stating it's his favorite ride and that he would stay on it for HOURS if allowed.)

CharliePlush is very closely related to a script/theory I'm working on for the FNAF 1-4 original story. The reason Scott's done nothing with this is the story went in a different direction.

The orientation audio in SL could be many years old. And it's possible that SL happens just after FNAF 1. I 100% believe Michael is made into a literal Purple Guy so we wouldn't get confused when he is the one that gets springtrapped in Follow Me. Scott spelled it out for us and yet people still want to believe it was William in Follow Me. He even made Scraptrap look different from Springtrap and yes there is some kind of lore reason behind the difference. It's not just a design change. Just consider it for a second. Theorists were already thinking that MikeTrap was the answer back before FFPS. So if William was Springtrap all along, why change how he looked? The only possible explanation is that William wasn't Springtrap. Plus, we knew from the Logbook that Mike had an agenda, to destroy Freddy if not all of them. That makes him a suspect for Follow Me, does it not? Ignore all those silly theories about William melting the endos down for remnant and all of that insane nonsense from the books. Focus on the game clues and the picture becomes clearer, trust me.

Okay, but how do you know, that breaker map shows robots currently in their places? It can just show positions where they normally stood when turned off or smth.

I personally like to subscribe to Charlie/PuppetPlush since it creates a nice little 3 game timeline "We are still your friends, I will Put You Back Together"(FNaF 4) into "You're Broken, I will Put You Back Together. The Pieces are In Place For You" (FNaF World) into Happiest Day where the character you play as is the Puppet. Im also kind of a fan of both Afton and the Puppet saying "I will Put You Back Together", like if they said it at the same time that'd be really good storytelling. I mean if they did do that then Scott wouldnt have shown it by slightly altering the hue but this is a fanfiction answer not an evidence one. Also to add to the timeline nightmare of the SL Bunker Screen, FNaF 4 implies the FNaF2 location is open because the girls room has bits of mangle and the one girl has the toys of the Toy Animatronics. Then the Security Logbook doubles down by asking CC if his favorite ride was the carousel, which was only in FNaF2. BUT the FNaF2 location only opened because of the MCI. Its another one of those unexplainable parts of FNaF4 that makes me think LATE in development Scott changed the date of 4 from 1987 to 1983.

I have always assumed that the minigames were from the Crying Child's point of view, and he's an unreliable narrator. A deeply traumatized young child, constantly confused and afraid, whose stuffed animal literally speaks to him - it's not a stretch to say that his brain imagines or misremembers the Fredbear plush as having even more agency than it really does, given how broken his brain is by the time the game takes place.

does anyone know the parody song in 1:22? wanna listen to it lol

22:39 this killed me 💀

What if William made a bunker after cc's death and run expirements on random kids to try to recreate cc's situation and put him back together. And fnaf 4 is just as seeing these expirements. Micheal probably was expiremented(atleast one of them), so he has nightmares of it(fnaf 4 gameplay). This will also explain freadbear's stuff, it is just plush with camera, and nightmare gas makes it so strange.

So what in thinking is the plush is Cassidy taking this form and we only hear William when the text changes in the end and the crying child watch Cassidy die ie the one you shouldn't have killed!!! Because William killed infront on crying child

This theory does a lot to explain the loose threads surrounding the remember what you saw line, and does give a good explanation for why the bunker would be linked to fredbears even though it would usually be placed as built after fredbears closed. Additionally, this just goes to show even further that William was always a sick individual. He killed the missing children + Charlie before he had even lost any of his children, and he had built the sister location bunker before that as well. In fact Elizabeth may already be dead by the time CC dies in fnaf 4 if the bunker was already open prior to the night minigames occurring. And like you said this does connect to the wound first inflicted on me thing, as if CC died first then the wound technically would have been inflicted on afton first. Even then, this theory doesn’t conflict with Fredbears having opened first as it can just as easily have already opened in 1983, and have been running for however long until this theory posits the death of CC happened I haven’t yet finished.

I know there is a debate about whether the Toy Animatronics from FNAF 2 are possessed or not. But because the bodies in the FNAF 2 minigame don't appear to be put on the Toy Animatronics, I think they are not possessed. However, this raises the question: if they are not possessed, why do they attack security officers? The common answer to that is, 'duh... they are connected to a criminal database with their facial recognition abilities,' but there is a problem with that answer. It still doesn't explain why they specifically attacked Jeremy Fitzgerald (the day shift security officer at the time). People who don't believe the toys are possessed say they are alerted to ANY grown-up, but that doesn't make any sense. Weren't there any more adults at the birthday party? Why specifically us? Then, after Help Wanted 2, it clicked. Jeremy Fitzgerald is on the criminal database. Why? Because he is the Bonnie Bro from the FNAF 4 Minigame that put the Crying Child at the mouth of the Golden Freddy. This is the crime that he and Michael committed, resulting in their addition to the criminal database. They may not be charged, but that doesn't mean they are not added to the crime database as suspects. We only see the Toys attacking Jeremy Fitzgerald and Michael Afton in the games after all. Because they are in the criminal database. From a narrative perspective, it makes a lot of sense too if we think we are playing as Bonnie Bro, aka Cassy's Dad, in Help Wanted 2. We played as Cassy's Dad a long, long time ago in FNAF 2, and we are again playing as Cassy's Dad decades later. I think it also fits as a motivation perspective. I always thought, why would anyone in their right mind work in FNAF locations after they saw Animatronics and how dangerous they are? There should be motivation. In the case of FNAF 1, FNAF 3, FNAF 5, and FNAF 6, we have motivation. Whether you believe Michael is commanded to go to the Freddy locations by William or he is there to set the places on fire as revenge, there is always motivation. But what is Jeremy Fitzgerald's motivation if he is just a random guy? It wouldn't make any sense if there is no connection between him and the animatronics. I think this connection is because of the FNAF 4 Bite of '83. The biggest counterpoint here is that it is said Jeremy Fitzgerald didn’t have a frontal lobe after the Bite of ‘87. But it wasn’t said that he died. I don’t know how he recovered, or if he even did. But if MatPat’s theory is correct that he can’t experience fear without a frontal lobe, this also explains his actions in Help Wanted 2. Technically, we never saw him being scared.

What if put them back together means reunite them. The crying child back with his friends(golden Freddy to crying child), Elizabeth together and in charge of the kids of Ennard(mike to william)

8:29 This would line up with the Golden Freddy kid in the Fnaf movie talking with Abby.

I'm not sure I believe the Puppet = Fredbear pluish theory but another piece of evidence is in two of the teasers for fnaf 4's DLC with Nightmarionne, one where you blow up the image to reveal nightmarrionne on the bed behind the a freddy plush, which at that brightness appears golden. The other is a teaser with the golden freddy plush where it has strings attached to it. But then again, Help Wanted 2 implies Charlie died last, so idk.

worth the wait

For the end bit about the closing happening around the missing children there's always the theory that William killed two sets of kids. Which was largely popularised due to the fnaf 1 animatronics having the 1985 missing kids stuffed in them but the fnaf 2 withered animatronics also being haunted despite not having a clear reason why since they aren't the same as fnaf 1 animatronics. Also the fnaf 2 mini games that showed children dead out in the open (alongside I think a story in the fazbear frights which has children dead in the open (I wanna say it's into the pit but I forget)) which doesn't really make sense with the original missing kids since they are 'missing' and implied to be stuffed into the animatronics while the mini game has the children out in the open. There's not much to support the theory outside of inconsistency on whether the missing children are missing or were dead in the open so having two sets of dead kids would solve that issue and the out in the open could be the one in 1983 if u wanna go that route of the children dieing at that time or needing a soul to possess golden freddy. But they consistenty keep the kids death count to 7 or 6 (original missing kids plus Charlie and CC or CC is the fifth missing child if u wanna go by that theory). It can solve the issue at the end if there's multiple dead set of kids but there's not much to support it. Either way I think the fact we only say that the fnaf 4 mini game must be set in 1983 because of the date on the TV is absolutely stupid. I get that Scott said so abt an easter egg after matpat said the bite couldn't be the bite of 87 yadda yadda BUT retcons happen and honestly wouldn't surprise me if Scott changed his mind. I mainly think it's stupid because the date on a TV doesn't mean anything. Like at most i would think it's just when the TV show or ad or whatever it was supposed to be was made or copyrighted or whatever. Not when it was airing? Like how often do you turn on the TV and see the current date? Plus reruns exist? I just think the TV being the main reason we know it's 1983 is so stupid. It doesn't even matter if in the website code or whatever it said 1983 cause it also said 1982 and 1987 so it's not like that was consistent??? Idk using a TV easter egg to confirm the date for fans is absolutely stupid when it wouldn't mean anything. Especially if it's supposed to be a separate bite to 87? Like why not use a calendar or smth that's harder to write off as smth else? Also why add another bite and completely ignore the bite of 87? Idk I just think that entire thing is stupid. And sorta ranting/rambling now

My take is that, when FNaF 4 came out, pre-retcon, CC was Sammy and his sister was Charlie. They were not Afton's sons, but Henry's. (and so was Mike) Prior to the FNaF 4 minigames, Charlie had already been killed by William, but the puppet didn't yet exist, so her spirit was wandering, and would speak to her brother through his Fredbear plush. During the events of the minigames, the MCI happens, with the victims being the 4 kids we meet that say they're going to the party but never show up _in addition_ to Charlie, who was originally stuffed in Fredbear. Sammy getting bit at the end of the week is what motivates Charlie to find a way to awaken the spirits: When the FNaF 2 location and the puppet are built, she's able to possess it and give the kids the gift of life, letting Sammy take over her old Fredbear suit, the one she'd guided his spirit to. This is what causes Golden Freddy to be so different: Although Sammy's spirit is housed in him, his body was never stuffed into that suit, but someone still was, giving it those unique abilities and characteristics. The SAVE THEM minigame shows William attempting to undo the possession by removing the bodies from the animatronics, but it doesn't work- All it does is draw in the investigation Phone Guy tells us about. But these pieces were never put together, so the puzzle was changed. The "one retcon" Scott mentioned in his old reddit post was separating CC's sister into Charlie, who kept being Henry's daughter and William's first murder victim, and Elizabeth, who stayed as CC's sister but was now _William's_ kid, as were Michael and CC (who could no longer be Sammy) Sister Location's purpose was to tell us the retcon in regards to CC's family life: The plushie could no longer be possessed by his sister, hence the plushie in the control room to tell us it was actually William speaking through it, so we're to ignore the elements that can only make sense if it's haunted. Since William is now a father and is getting more and more characterization, just being jealous of Henry doesn't cut it as his motivation for murder, so the murders have to move into AFTER CC's death, to add the bite + the closure of Fredbear's as part of his descent into madness. Mike became the protagonist of SL to further hone in into telling us he was supposed to be Foxy Bro, and the maps in the bunker are to reinforce HE was the one having the nightmares, although now implying they're experiments of William's. FNaF 6 was then supposed to establish the changes in regards to the MCI: Charlie can no longer be one of the kids, so her death minigame is redone to show us the Puppet already existed AND that she was never missing. CC still needs a second spirit tied to his suit, though, which leads to the creation of Cassidy as the vengeful spirit. Since the MCI victims can no longer be the kids we see in FNaF 4, Scott has to give them new identities, hence the graves + Fruity Maze.

Something that I used to believe when I was younger, was the crying child being possessed By a spirit during this game. It took the form of one of his plushes. That’s why it could talk to the crying child Since it was already inside him (I hated writing that so much). It would also explain as to why the crying child can hear and see the plush as he is dying. Tho it opens its own plethora of problems. Like who is possessing him, how did they possess him, or why? At this point a lot of theories surrounding the fourth game could be made plausible since the fourth is self-contained, but that’s just my opinion. I kinda like the idea that crying is possessed.

“Definition of quality over quantity” or something like that

Imagine watching this video with no knowledge of FNaF. You would have a brain aneurysm.

gibi's arcade theory explains it pretty well, its Cassidy or the other spirit withing golden freddy being relayed the information.

This makes a lot of sense. He witnessed his dad kill his friends. Well “Bonnie” kill his friends. That’s why he scared of the animatronics. It wasn’t Purple Guy who put his son back together, it was Puppet. That’s why Scott doesn’t care about the story anymore, it’s so far gone as far as being incorrectly theorized, that the original plot wouldn’t even make sense anymore, even if it was to be told.

If the actual calendar didn't shoot this theory in the foot before it got started, I'd love it. Sadly, ignoring ballpit based time travel, 1983 does come before 1985. But the idea of CC being haunted is actually pretty cool.

I think its likely that the fredbear plush dialogue at the ending of fnaf 4 (i will put you back together) might not have even been the plush. It was just the puppet talking to CC in the last mind and the plush was just there, like a "narrator", not a character. The puppet has traditionally been the one to put the souls into the animatronics. But before that... eh, its hard to say what the plush is. Though we are also assuming thay the fnaf4 minigames are the actual events of CC's life. They may be memories on replay, which generally seems to be the case with all minigames in the series. In which case, the plush is just an entity that is leading the soul of CC to repeat his miserable history on a loop. Which kinda makes sense if only because in fnaf world, fredbear leads you around in the main playthrough. That version could be "willbear". In the books and movie, they show that william has influence over the spirits and "their world". In the main playthrough, you are also lead to kill the owl, or in otherwords, kill the nightguard. Virtual world fredbear may just be how william appears when interacting with the souls of the dead children until... he loses control.

How can the bite victim be after mci when in the house in the fnaf 4 mini games it says 1983, and in into the pit it says 1985

I thought the Crying Child was just dragging the Freddy plush everywhere and it had some walkie talkie it it. I think this because I have heard of a similar creepypasta/urban legend/whatever about some toddler being kidnapped because the kidnappers used the kid's Barney the Dinosaur plush to lure the kid in, the thing had a walkie talkie in it the whole time as the parent finds out.

You're funny af, the second half is comedy gold!

I never stopped to think about how much the Sister Location map messes up the timeline.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to come up with this, but something I feel like no ever really considers is *where* these locations are. More specifically, how many locations does the Freddy's franchise have at any given point in the story. If it was so successful, even having its own TV show and merchandise, it would make sense that there would be more than one or two Freddy's or Fredbear's locations. It entirely possible there was only one location for each respective restaurant, but I don't think that's the case. Animatronics even in the real world, are really expensive and time consuming to make. Even the genius of William and Henry can only get them so far. Purely in-game, they don't give us much of a clue as to where these places are in the real world. The books say they're roughly in Salt Lake City, Utah, but that's book continuity, and not everything relates to the game. The movie helps this idea because it's doesn't take place Utah, and from context clues, we can piece together that there must be different locations for each respective restaurant. P.S: I'm leaving Circus Baby's and the Horror Attraction out as; 1. I don't know whether CB's has more than one location or not 2. Horror Attraction is implied to only one place through context clues in the phone calls and environment Now, it's entirely possible they (William and Henry) decided to expand by other means instead, and want more locations at a different time, which may or may not have succeeded given the various tragedies and factors throughout the story. I'm not sure how much of a roll these other locations would've played, but I feel like it's something no one really talks about.

I have a pretty controversial theory about the DCI and Cassidy that personally, I think makes more sense than any other DCI theory. The first part is that it straight up doesn't happen, the second part is that Cassidy wasn't a part of the MCI in 1985 and was instead murdered in 1987 at the FNAF 2 location. I have always found the DCI to be a bizarre addition to the timeline, it just doesn't make sense to me that a second murder spree with the same death toll as the MCI is never brought up again later in the series. Not only this but as a theory it only serves to make the story FNAF 2 is trying to tell harder to understand. IMO the idea that Cassidy was spring locked in FNAF 2 lays the groundwork for a much more concrete interpretation of the early games. As for SAVE THEM, fredbear represents Cassidy's spirit wandering the pizzeria and discovering there were 5 kids already killed at a previous Freddy's, and that their bodies are in the pizzeria stuffed into the withereds. One last thing I want to mention is the FNAF 1 newspapers, these clippings tell us that 5 kids total have gone missing in Freddy's. Most people assume this is referring to the death of: Fritz, Jeremy, Susie, Gabriel and Cassidy in 1985. However if Charlie died before the MCI, why is her death simply not mentioned? If you believe what I've been saying it's because these clippings are from 1985 and refer to the MCI + Charlie which happened before Cassidy's murder. As hard as I've tried to debunk this theory I have found nothing except one detail that requires some assumptions to make sense. This detail is that the FNAF 1 newspapers tell us 5 kids are missing, and Charlie did not go missing. My answer to this is that at the time of release FNAF 1 was a self contained story, each piece of evidence gives context to a contained narrative. At the time of release I think it's fair to say that the 5 missing kids mentioned refer to the 5 animatronics in game. However following the release of FNAF 2, scott put more time into developing a bigger narrative told across decades, as such some details from fnaf 1 weren't retconned, but instead recontextualised to be groundwork for the new story scott was writing. I'd love to hear your thoughts, keep up the awesome videos!

I think it's very plausible that Psychic Friend Fredbear isn't even real, well, at least the voice talking to CC isn't and it's more of an imaginary friend. Obviously, his brother and his dad are abusive as well as unsympathetic to the actions of the other, not mention his mom and sister are nowhere to seen its likey Plushbear is just a coping mechanism for CC. The same way he has no friends as so he calls the toys his friends, he manifests a paternal figure for himself and the black eyes are less a sign of possession and more the fact hes not real-think Golden Freddy or the phantoms. Also hes literally a child him having an imaginary friend is not completely out of order

I always thought that is was pretty agreed on that William sent Michael to the bunker regardless weather or not he was unable to do it himself because he was springlocked, but because it was just really dangerous with the Funtimes down there and because he simply didn't feel like going for Elizabeth and told Michael to do it instead

Something people seem to often forget is Henry and William were not just business partners, they were friends. It’s not impossible that Charlie could have had access to the Fredbear plush’s radio. Like, William KNEW Charlie. And she was afraid of him. Why?

I dont remember where i saw it but i saw a theory that funtime foxy was the fredbear plush and that the walkie was in the bunker so william used the parental voice mimic to get ff to talk to cc

Dude you post like the most amazing fnaf content and get zero recognition! Thanks so much for the content dude!

I lean towards thinking the plush is physical. We could play as Michael being tortured like in dittophobia, cursed to relive our brother's last days over and over. The plush could have cameras for eyes, and speakers could be set up everywhere. I say this because the plush prompts us as though we are in a hypnotic state. "What did he do this time? He locked you in your room again." "You are right beside the exit. If you run, you can make it. Hurry, run toward the exit." Etc. We don't need plush to tell us this. We're physically there. He doesn't just know our situation, he's putting ideas in our heads as to what scenerio we're in. Also, I don't buy Afton keeping a constant eye on his kid, but overseeing their torture seems plausible. But that just my two cents.

I think the dot in CC’s room is more likely to be power connected to the Fredbear plush and not CC himself because like, I don’t think humans need electricity

Just gonna throw my interpretation out there. I think the plush was originally possessed, and by Charlotte. There's this theory which has been brought up by multiple theorists, I'd like to point out a specific video by JoeDoughBoi , that part of the retcon was that Charlotte was originally BV's missing sister, which Scott showed us the empty girls room. The possessor of the Fredbear Plush being BV's sister is supported by FNaF World Update 2 revealing the yellow eyes character with Circus Baby's voice, implying a connection. Then, all of the weird references inside the FNaF 4's minigames that connect it to the other games could be explained by personal theory of mine, which is sorta like GIBI's Horror Homesteads Arcade Theory, but more supernatural. FNaF World makes a big deal about a digital/spiritual world that interacts with the real world, and the theory goes that all the FNaF minigames are connected, hence the Clock Ending featuring the parts of the FNaF 3 minigames. This could also help explain the box. The glowing eyes character in FNaF World calls the things you do as collecting the pieces, the same phrasing used by Scott to describe the box, which could also be tied to the opened FNaF 4 box being in the files of FNaF World. To summarize, the clues of FNaF 4 help explain FNaF 3, while also being clues for the spirits. The "pieces" of the box are duel purpose. Getting back to Fredbear plush, a huge fuss was made about the 2 different text colors of the Fredbear plush. In the final cutscenes, it is a different shade of yellow. What I think is that while creating the retcon, some time during the development of FNaF World and Sister Location, Scott used this to his advantage, letting the Fredbear plush both be William and Charlotte. It is a bit confusing, especially since we see FNaF 4 through BV's perspective, which we know is unreliable. I feel like this is also supported by Lonely Freddy, Lonely Freddy being both a toy used to comfort children, and possessed by... something. Of course, even with this explanation, it is still confusing to tell who is speaking during the FNaF 4 minigames. The theme of connecting to a spiritual dimension/dreamscape to communicate with the children has showed up both in the Silver Eyes trilogy and the Movie, plus, it could explain how exactly Micheal learns the stuff he does about the spirits. Another small bit of evidence from GIBI's video, in the Silver Eyes trilogy, you are able to see the spirit world after being injected with remnant and semi-dying, as seen with Carolten, this could suggest that Micheal Aftons self-possession may have let him connect more with the spirit world, which we especially see in FNaF 3. In FNaF 3, especially wit the Fazbear Frights story What We Found, it is heavily implied that the guard we see in FNaF 3 is the same guard who is going from restaurant to restaurant in FNaF 1 & 2, due to the Phantoms, and now we know for sure that this person is Michael. People always found it confusing how the FNaF 3 guard was able to help with the creation of Happiest Day, but this could explain it Another strong piece of evidence towards William being part of the Fredbear Plush is that in Michael's monologue, he uses the same phrasing of "putting someone back together", which is supposedly what William sent Micheal to do in Sister Location. This is a really long comment that I don't know how to end, but I just wanted to give out my current interpretation, point towards other great theories and concepts, and maybe discuss further with you guys.

Sound illusion disks? Bit of a streatch but would explain the weird flower

Doesn't that mean sister location is just child labour? Wouldn't William go to prison for more charges?(As if he's not already a murderer)

3:32 peak reference. Btw, if you slow down the footage at 2:51, right after Crying Child enters the room, the plush isn't on the couch. One frame later, still in the 2:51 time bracket, he appears out of nowhere... this trait is also shared with the Bonnie cut out in Hide and Seek, which is being teleported around by Eleanor or should I say, is Eleanor, aka, RWQFSFASXC. The only time the plush isn't present is inside the Diner... where we see something inside Fredbear's shadow (also RWQFSFASXC, as explained by the aforementioned story), and this fake shadow stays put even when an employee wears Fredbear around the restaurant, away from the stage... 5:22 different text from a different character narrating on this 1983 flashback after the events of FNaF World's clock ending... 5:35 peak fiction, pea theory.

I've always wondered if the show saying it was 1983 was just a rerun and showing the establishment of the brand

Boy that last segment made forget what i was going to say 😂 But i think it was that: I've never seen anyone consider that the fredbear plush in the office Is CCs and not a duplicate one, with the walkie being a reminder that his workaholic tendencies led to the circumstances of CCs death. But William, reflecting? Less likely than you think 😂 Also, your rant about William taking apart the animatronics to hide the bodies has made me question: what Did he do with the remains? Is it possible that thats what the mound in the woods is? Eta: the cassidy plush theory is still plausible via the log book. Faded text is asking leading questions, as if They know the answers to what they're asking but Altered doesn't seem to (remember). FNAF is great at creating more questions 😂

I like your theory makes me think that even the bite was something that his friend made happen to be with him again.

"Bad fredbear plush☝🏼" *implodes*

You know this makes a crazy amount of sense with the cc was the final death and him being closest with the golden Fred bear

i believe in both agonyplush and willplush.

the arcade theory mention😭😭 lol i love devon

This makes soooo much more sense than it being some kind of radio doll from William

If that’s the case the plush could be a representation of schizophrenia

I've been mulling over the timeline lately, and since there's all the confusion on what did and didn't take place in 1983, I want to give my own theory on what happens in that year and in what order. 1. Obviously, according to multiple pieces of evidence, the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza establishment opened in 1983, likely as a result of the success of Fredbear's Family Diner, and was a resounding success, as can be implied by the TV easter egg in FNAF 4, as the Fredbear and Friends TV (the mention of multiple 'friends' implies the other band members that weren't some form of Freddy and Bonnie, meaning Foxy and Chica, were already present, supported by the multiple references of them throughout the Crying Child's story minigames) show was also made in 1983, or the establishment and the TV program may have been cross promotion, with the show helping the restaurant's business. 2. Once the Freddy Fazbear's establishment saw its massive success, William Afton would use it to conduct the Missing Children's Incident, killing the five children that would go on to possess every animatronic save Spring Bonnie, as William used that suit in the crime. I don't think that's where it necessarily ends, though. Going off accounts from the books, mainly the story of Andrew and later the Stitchwraith, Andrew died by being spring-locked in a Golden Freddy/Fredbear suit, resulting in a much more agonizing death, and given his similarities to Cassidy, AKA the Vengeful Spirit and The One He Should Not Have Killed, it can be inferred that she suffered a similar fate, but the aftermath of this 5th killing made William discover something, the existence of Remnant & Agony and their abilities to grant life to objects. However, the closure of the establishment doesn't happen until later, as I'll explain soon. 3. As a result of the discovery of Remnant, William would start making the Funtime animatronics as collectors for children whose souls would be turned into Remnant. However, as he's making the Funtimes, their collection function backfires on William as his daughter Elizabeth is killed by Baby because of that programming, but William would still commit to his plans, and possibly even realize more about the logic of possession as Baby's appearance is altered by the presence of Elizabeth's soul, with her eyes changed from blue to green. 4. William, now having a goal to collect more Remnant, would look around for opportunities, finding Charlie Emily, the daughter of Henry Emily, co-founder at Freddy's alongside William himself, locked outside of Fazbear's, with a new, suspicious security measure having failed to protect her. However, realizing the ramifications of who he's killed, William speeds off in his car, which segues into Midnight Motorist, but that's a whole other can of worms I can't really open here. The Security Puppet, the system created by Henry that was put in place to protect Charlie, crawls to her in the nearby alley, leading to Charlie possessing the Puppet when she dies. Charlie dying after the initial five children of the MCI, which was unknown to the public at this time, is corroborated by the gravestone puzzle found in Princess Quest 4 in FNAF Help Wanted 2, which is why Charlie's death is here, and William discovering Remnant and Agony after Cassidy's death provides a motive for him to kill Charlie, and possibly a feeling of resentment after Elizabeth's death, wanting something Henry had made to fail him, like how William's own failure killed Elizabeth. 5. In the wake of Charlie's death, Henry would tip off the authorities about not just her death, but the deaths of the previous five children that were presumed missing, likely wanting to cover it up for the sake of the business, but still putting the Security Puppet in place as a safety measure for his daughter, but we know that didn't work out. Fazbear's would be closed down after Henry's whistleblowing and the investigation commences. Meanwhile, Charlie, now possessing the Puppet, gives life to the other animatronics, filled with the bodies and souls of William's previous five victims. 6. With Fazbear's closure, William is on limited time, so he repeatedly sneaks into the closed business to dismantle the animatronics found inside, collecting their parts to harvest for Remnant, as it wouldn't make sense for him to do that while the establishment was still up and running thanks to Henry's complacency. However, as he's working to collect the parts for Remnant, the Bite of '83 would occur on his youngest son's birthday as a result of bullying from his older brother and William's other son, Michael. This infuriates William, who punishes Michael by putting him through the events of FNAF 4's nights, all while using this time to test his ways to amplify a person's Agony by using technology like illusion disks and hallucinogenic gas, as well as using that time to continue his work on the Funtime Project, taking place in a complex underneath his own home.

This is the best The IMPOSSIBLE Mystery of PSYCHIC FRIEND FREDBEAR | FNaF Analysis ive ever seen!

The smart try to use their wits to decypher FNAF lore. The wise recognize that FNAF lore is an underwhelming choose your own adventure book.

This is the funniest theory video I have ever watched omg

Hold up… YOUR COOKING!!!!

If FNAF 4 is to be Believed to Be Ditto Phobia, That Explains FredBear's Unnatural Appearance. Afton Was Keeping Cams and could Communicate to his Son. "Fun with Plushtrap" And "the Fnaf 4 Mini games" were Extensions of The Sister Location Bunker If William Experimented on either of his own sons, I can Only imagine why Mangle Parts are in Elizabeth's Room.

God damn this man’s voice. Please read me a bed time story bro

I have a pretty simple explanation for why springBonnie is on the stage by that time the funtimes are in Ennard but their dots on the map are still on their stages so I think the dots are where they’re supposed to be cause that’s the only explanation I can think of

18:28 Well, at the very least, the breaker room map heavily implied that William has (had?) ownership of both Fredbear's and C.C.'s house. Meaning he is C.C.'s and FoxyBro's father which, IIRC, was under question after FNAF 4 before SL. Working out the diegetic implications/ramifications of both the Breaker Room Map and Private Room are headache inducing. I really wish FNAF 4 Nights Rooms weren't shown in the Private Room. 🫠

What if Psychic Friend Fredbear was just imaginary, and that's why he's everywhere, even when the plush isn't there and he sees it around town cause he imagines seeing him so he feels safe.

1:22 dude i have GOT to know what this song is

I don't know if the breaker room dots really mean anything when it comes to animatronics or truly the Crying Child. If we assume white dots is the Crying Child. It might not be them actively being there. As Plushtrap Hallway with 4 dots likely minirina's or Plushtrap's possible locations has a white dot that should represent CC. But also CC/EVAN would be represented by the other one and the other one. So it might just be monitoring. And if we can do that then maybe the power that is being given is also outdated. Likely like the Sister Location messages that are said to us as most messages re pre-recored in this series are also outdated by probably some years. Meaning the body who died in the vent likely died way before Michael even went there. If anything maybe he went there on a job that worked out for him and going to put her back together. Because we see the technicians that seem to die more present time. So maybe this bunker was found or known about by some and on a job to do something with it from the company of Freddy's well... ======== Anyways Michael most likely robbed Afton's Car so... uh... Afton sending him to the Bunker when he's still alive or not closer to being springlocked is unlikely.

The color of the text tells you who is speaking to the crying child. William was the yellow guy before he became the purple guy. The crying child is Williams son as Mike is his older brother. When PFFB speaks in yellow text he is William and frames where you see him he is not teleporting. It is just to symbolize where William has camera and survielance equipment to monitor him. He speaks to him in the same way he he is made to see the nightmare animatronics after the bite. He wants him to be scared of the animatronics for the same reaaons he wanted Elisabeth to be scared of them. He knows they are not safe. He makes him believe that the plush is speaking to him because he won't listen to William because he locks him in his room and wants him to stay away from the animatronics. When the text changes color so does who is s speaking to him. When the text turn grey it is Mike speaking to him. Like in midnight motorist. William is yellow and it is mike speaking in grey text telling him to go easy on him. Mike feels guilty for killing him and wants to make up for it by putting him back together.

The Plush oh yay, no that think is haunted by a victim who we never know about 100%, the missing kids incidents at Freddy’s I bet isn’t the only time people were missing or found dead with no known murder at this point.

Also as for the power spot thing, couldn’t that be easily explained as those places being spots for objects that are no longer there. So the stage dots just represent essentially the power socket the robots would be connected to it in use. After all why would the power map also have a built in motion radar to identify the location of entities in those rooms. The spots just being markers for where power would have gone in those rooms makes a fair amount sense. Minus the dot in the bedroom unless cc was a robot all along. That or the power spot is for nightmare Freddy under the bed.

5:13 I always just assumed it was the poster lmao

michael appears as a child in fnaf 4, but is a purple adult in sister location, how can sister location be before fnaf 4??

FNAF theorycrafting is so much easier if you just ignore Sister Location cause all of the lore it adds makes no sense at all.
