    You may be thinking, "Hey MatPat, don't we already know everything about Crying Child?" No, Theorists, we do NOT and you proved it! "Crying Child" is what we've referred to the victim of the Bite of '83 as since the beginning but that child has a name! A name I have figured out! This is one of the oldest mysteries of the franchise and I am sure that we've cracked it wide open! Theorists, no FNAF mystery will go unsolved as long as I am on the case.

  • @limegreenlive7813
    @limegreenlive7813 Před rokem +117

    As we speak of Crying Child's real name. I think it's Dave. Wolfier and Godzilla theorized that the bite-victim is named Evan but hte problem with the final answers is "I'm scared". Wolfie had problems with the answer that broke his methodology and Godzilla thinks that the answer matches with page 47, but how is it related? So I decided to give it a shot so the final answer "I'm scared" might match with the question of: "Do you have dreams?". The question is on page 41, so I plug 41 into the foxy grid and I got the letter D. So instead of Evan it now says "Evad". If you flip the name it now says Dave. Dave was also the fake name that William Afton used in the Silver Eyes novel in the fourth closet novel. This would also make sense to William using his dead son's ("Dave Afton's") name, since William falled into madness after his 2 child's deaths and started to kill 5 children to get out of his pain.
    So in conclusion I think the crying child's name is Dave Afton.

    Now that I'm re-watching this, I started to do a bit of thinking regarding how Godzilla came up with the letter 'N' for the crying child's name. Matt asked "Why tally up the scores based on a book Foxy has" or something along those lines. If Michael is the one making the tallies, wouldn't it make sense to connect him to Foxy because it's his favorite character? He would go around scaring the crying child with a foxy mask on and we've connected that Foxy is his favorite in multiple theories. I don't think it's that far fetched- but maybe that's just me.

  • @moiramoran8149
    @moiramoran8149 Před rokem +31

    What if the tallies are for solving Mike's identity? They are in his red pen after all.
    For now, I have it in my head that Mike is keeping track of each haunted animatronics at each location. That would explain why there's a random 4 tally mark when the majority of them are 5. The book came out after sister location where there is only 4 major haunted animatronics (Baby, Freddy, Foxy and Ballora) while the other's have had at least 5 (Foxy, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and either the puppet or Golden Freddy). It's not perfect, but it's something.

    I wonder if the actual solution to the Foxy grid is to actually draw an 8-bit Foxy and then go from there. I don’t have any idea what you’d do with the letters in the grid after you were done with the drawing. Sure that might seem like a rather simplistic approach, but I also wouldn’t put it past Scott to put the solution right in front of our face, probably expecting that we would look in more of the obscure places for clues. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just a random thought that occurred to me. Also, Evan being the crying child is my personal head canon now. It just sounds right to me.

    I don't think that the evidence for Crying Child's name being Evan holds up all that well, but I am sold on that being his name, more or less because... well, he needed a name, and the fandom was able to agree on Evan, and it fit him aesthetically, so, I don't know, I was sold. lol. I'm a story-teller, not a theorist, so I was more interested in how the name Evan worked from a character angle and less from an evidence angle, if that makes sense.

    Im starting to think the crying child's true name is Jake, not only because the boy's name in the blackbrid book's name is Jake, but also because of the Jake possessing the Stichwrath with Andrew.

    Maybe the reason why you should only consider 4 of cassidy's questions is because only those four were related to the crying child. Only those four were answered by him. This would explain why only those four are used to depicted his name.
    The red marks remain a complete mystery though...
