I have a theory....{in my best MatPat} A FILM THEORY! about how the entities are created and the backrooms change to closer resemble reality.

OK, so I have a theory posted on here about the hay bacillus in people's guts being oddly affected by something in the backrooms, I'm theorizing it has something to do with some weird radiation that exists in the backrooms that doesn't exist in standard.

Personally, my own head cannon is that when someone dies in the backrooms, the hay bacillus grows and mutates, in the process it eats the body and grows into a large colony that works together (Voltron style) to become the entities. Part of this being absorbing some of their memories and possibly even being able to replicate what the bacteria "heard" before the people died (i.e. when Marvin hears the entity calling out for help).

I also believe (also just a theory) that the backrooms themselves expands itself using the broken memories of those who die there. So, putting it all together, the woman in the hidden video (where the picture shows in standard) was driving the car, no-clipped into the backrooms and crashes into the wall. She drags herself into the room where the bacteria entity is seen by Madison in FF2. She dies, hay bacillus begins eating her body and grows into the entity. While that is happening, the backrooms starts to change, using the woman's memories to form the rooms around her. The picture probably has some strong memory in her mind, which allows the backrooms to recreate it pretty accurately, while the rooms around her are remembered, but not as strong, so when it creates them, they are slightly off.

Sometime after the backrooms had changed, and the bacteria entity grew, Madison stumbles upon it in FF2.

As I said, this is just my head cannon, based off everything I've seen and read. Sorry I can't answer your question, but I thought you may enjoy. Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this theory.

So, I've have a theory that I've not seen anyone propose before (maybe someone has and I just haven't seen it) and I wanted to get people's thoughts...

Nearly everyone who goes into the Backrooms starts coughing at some point, even the Async researchers wearing hazmat suits. During the Autopsy Report, the doctor doing the autopsy talks about the simple hay bacillus affecting the boy in weird ways. Hay bacillus naturally occurs in the human body, but it seems to act differently in the complex.

My theory is that maybe there isn't something in the air that is affecting people, if there was, there is a high likelihood the Async researchers suits would block it. Instead, what if something in the complex, some form of radiation maybe, causes the naturally occurring hay bacillus in their bodies to act differently? They aren't being infected by something in the air, but something in the complex is making a naturally occurring bacteria in our bodies react differently.

I went with radiation because it has to be something that can penetrate Async's suits. Maybe a form of radiation that isn't usually harmful, or even prevalent in standard, so Async doesn't know to look for it, but is amplified in the backrooms.

I don't know, it's just a theory {in MatPat's voice}, "a film theory" (I couldn't help it, I hear it in my head a LOT). What do you all think? Also, if someone else has proposed this, I'd love a link so I can see what others thought. Thanks!

Today is December 7th, 1989, I was filming my daughter playing in the yard. I took a step toward her and when my foot hit the ground, I was suddenly at the top of this stairwell. What is this place?
