FNaF’s ORIGINAL Story SOLVED! || FNaF Theory

[@ImpulseEvan37]

It seems like a lot of people don't recognize that this video ONLY takes into account the first four games, fnaf world, and the silver eyes. While some things aren't canon now, and some things weren't even canon then, these are the answers that we COULD have gotten back when we only had that information. For example, many people are confused about Sammy being the Puppet here, but that's because nothing at the time implied Charlotte to be the Puppet. We didn't know yet that Charlie was the one killed by William, we thought Sammy was.

[@DjDeadpig]

These “OG story” theories are way more enjoyable than the modern theories. They take me back to the good old days of “Fritz Smith was Afton” or “Sammy was the puppet”.

[@ImpulseEvan37]

In the silver eyes, William is basically said to have died, yet is somehow still alive, not only implying that he is in the games too, but it’s heavily implied that it’s paranormal

[@YellowSkarmory]

@@ImpulseEvan37 I get that, but there's not much reason to assume it's from a spirit that looks to have passed on next to the other four missing children. Maaaybe you could say it was the puppet, because at this time it was the only character that was still around and had a seeming hatred of Afton, but even then I think that's a stretch for the time period.

I personally like this story alot better! As much as I love Sister Location I personally think it would have been better as a reboot or a whole new story all together This story is perfect with only the first four games and it wasn't so complicated with the box being the only question left I even remember when Scott said FNaF 4 was the last game and FNaF World would just be to answer some questions (yes there are things from FNaF World that are canon, I will die on this hill) I like this story alot better

[@TheTrueDiablix]

Originally sister location was announced as it's own IP. The decision was clearly made fairly last minute to make it a FNAF title which is probably a huge part of why it's the primary piece that makes the whole story not able to fit together.

[@EliRetroVHS642]

@@TheTrueDiablix I know and it makes the story convoluted and as much as I love Sister Location and don't get me wrong Sister Location is my favorite FNaF game and I absolutely love it but the whole plot of Circus Baby wanting to escape is very convoluted! Her goal is to scoop you and escape using your body but she legit could have done that any other night making the whole plot convoluted

[@TheTrueDiablix]

@@EliRetroVHS642 I enjoyed sister location too, but I think the change was made to help boost sales but was shifted too late to make things work well. Circus Baby did say she managed to escape several times but would always be taken back by someone, so her plan to scoop you was probably just to avoid detection long enough to make the escape stick.

I haven't watched the video yet and i could like this story more butt i really think the last three og games (sister, simulator and ucn) doesn't ruin the story or atmosphere butt rather improve it,giving it a new feel while still maintaining the main elements that made it popular in the first place.

[@aminethbt885]

I want to add that the "tampering with the animatronics" was meant to be a fourth wall break joke cause that's literally what we do in the custom night. It wasn't supposed to have any lore significance whatsoever. All just a joke.

[@bloxxybox2576]

I really like this take on the original timeline, however- I have three suggestions & quite a few things I have gripes with: - William having no proper motivation to kill Sammy outside of Fredbear's before BV, it just... doesn't really make any sense - the idea of Golden Freddy having two souls in the old canon, like the first point, it doesn't really make sense - Henry's last name being Emily, iirc that wasn't confirmed until The Fourth Closet, so it'd make more sense for you to have gone with "Henry Miller", since that was the full name people went with at the time - Pigtail Girl's story isn't really anything to go off of as she's just a kid like BV, so she could just be sharing scary stories she thought of regarding the animatronics being able to have people wearing them and walking off stage (moving at night & hiding peoples' bodies) - Missing Child #5's spirit latching onto William's body to keep him alive doesn't really make much sense either and now for my suggestions: 1. since it was confirmed that the MCI takes place in 1985 through The Silver Eyes, Sammy could've instead died at the original Freddy's (Pre-FNaF 2 yet Post FNaF 4) with William disposing of his body shortly after, placing him as Missing Child #5 (or more accurately Missing Child #1) which would leave an open spot for BV to be Golden Freddy 2. BV being upset all the time could've been caused by something like Pigtail Girl's story, having seen an employee putting on a springlock suit (remember the "What's seen in shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child" line), mistaking it as something MUCH worse 3. the idea of William being freed before the children can be freed reminds me of the RXQ minigame in FNaF 3, which could be William's spirit trying to redeem himself I know that most of this has little to no structure but ay, I just wanted to share my thoughts on it lol

[@mildex756]

While I do agree with some stuff, I also have a few counterpoints to your gripes. 1. I don’t think William needs a motive. Maybe William is just a sociopath. 2. While it doesn’t make that much sense for Golden Freddy to have two souls in the first four games, Sammy can’t be one of the missing children simply because it’s already been confirmed that he died at Fredbear’s. 3. I agree with this one. Either Evan made a mistake in the script or he forgot Henry didn’t have a last name during this time period (though Henry didn’t really need a last name to begin with, because Crying Child doesn’t have a first name to this day.) 4 & 5. Yeah, I agree with these too.

[@sweetlifealley]

13:41 Golden Freddy has 2 lights on in his eyes, while every other head has only one. 2 lights, 2 spirits. There’s your, fnaf 1-4 only, evidence of 2 spirits in Golden Freddy

[@elisadiiorio-digitalwomenp5933]

this is my opinion: William started killing perhaps out of paranoia, because Henry made a lot more money than him and William was extremely attached to the pizzeria so he went crazy, then for me there are two Golden Freddys, the one from the first FNAF is possessed by Cassidy because it was a new disappearance and the suit is intact, while the Golden Freddy of FNAF 2 is possessed by the crying child, because perhaps he took the same suit in which he died and after three years it was therefore destroyed, then Mike Schimdt of the first FNAF is in reality Michael Afton with a false identity and as a job since he was grown up he worked as a night watchman in the family pizzeria, but he is also actually the protagonist of FNAF 2 but always with a false identity , so in every game of the saga the protagonist is Michael ( and it's plausible because the night watchman never appears in the minigames ), then for me the bite of 87 was done by Mangle out of revenge ( for a reason that I will explain later with Sister Location ) on Michael even if reality the bite happened a few minutes or hours before the start of FNAF 2, Michael is not death, the bite was not lethal as it is described, then Mangle seems to call the police because maybe Michael he was a bit of a criminal at the time, then the Toys don't have a soul , but a security system that sometimes becomes aggressive , except Mangle ( again for the Sister Location reason ), while the souls of the Withered and the animatronics of FNAf 1 are the same, then in Sister Location, then for me Balloon Boy ( also the endoskeleton , Balloon Girl , Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie but they have nothing to do with it ) is a hallucination , the statue of Balloon Boy is always in the play area, but when he comes to the office in reality there is only a problem with the generator and see Balloon Boy, perhaps for the effects of the bite , the protagonist is Michael Afton and Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy are Henry Emily's children, we know that the Puppet is Charlotte and who returns in FNAF 6 with the suit of a black bear, but before that she possessed Funtime Freddy, apparently Charlotte likes bears, while Funtime Foxy is Sammy Emily, the other son of Henry, while Ennard is Henry himself, who out of revenge against William wants to hurt Michael, Mangle for me is actually Funtime Foxy destroyed , or at least Funtime Foxy broke and so Sammy got another model of Funtime Foxy we see that Sammy likes foxes, so Mangle is actually a withered, which Funtime Foxy after being destroyed was thrown into the pizzeria in FNAF 2, then in FNAF 6, Molten Freddy is a mix between Funtime Freddy ( Molten Freddy is rusty Funtime Freddy ) , Funtime Foxy , Ennard and Ballora (who is William's wife), and after the fire, we move on to Security Breach, Glamrock Freddy is possessed by Michael Afton, then the Blob is a set of all the animatronics, then the founder of the shopping center could be Michael ( he could have escaped the fire ) , and Vanessa is his daughter, then in fact the reason why the Glamrocks kill and why William's soul has taken possession of them, while the Mimic is said to kill from Edwin's negative energy after his son's death

5:20 We don't get much, if any, indication that Purple Guy is Crying Child's dad in FNaF 4 or World, and I don't think William had a son in Silver Eyes, so the idea that Mike is his son was first introduced in Sister Location. You may want to be more thorough with how you eliminate your sources.

Also did William Afton have children in the Silver Eyes. Still liked this. It sounded like you put a good amount of effort into it.

[@MisterCPU]

William wasn't canon. Springtrap's identity was irrelevant. Marionette was Crying Child's twin sister as well as the Plushbear. Baby's design was based on the girl with green eyes in FNAF 4, as a signal that the screen with that girl revealed the original sister, as in, Plushbear's head on the flower petal, which pointed at the flower painting in the sister's room. Her death happens, causing the sadness, terror, and torment of the '83 Bite Victim, and the tragedy of his death. The angel on his shoulder, the Sister, becomes the benevelent matron spirit in FNAF 2 that calms down the robots enraged by the "agony" of Golden Freddy's presence. The FNAF1 and 2 animatronics are possessed by the four kids absent from the party, or simply possessed by the "remnant" of the Bite Victim's memories. Marionette and Crying Child have corresponding designs, and the Marionette is associated with Plushbear to establish that they were an MCI victim, the Golden Freddy related one, while Golden Freddy wasn't one. The victim never saw anything bad happen, he simply lost a loved one and imagined things that became reality. Nightmare, or Shadow Freddy, represents the fear and agony of this bite victim. There was no mad science going on.

2:07 I think people are missing the fact that Phone Guy says: " You’ll be on day shift. Wear your uniform, stay close to the animatronics, make sure they don’t hurt anyone, okay? Uh, for now just make it through the night. When the place eventually opens again, I’ll probably take the night shift myself. Okay, good night and good luck. ” which may be implying that on the night 7 we might be playing as Phone Guy. It may be a problem as after night 7 we are fired from the company which doesn't mean he couldn't return to working there in another location while the messing with animatronics and odor might be a reference that we literally set animatronics agressiveness and by doing that we "stench"

[@ImpulseEvan37]

You're missing the fact that Phone Guy specifically says "when the play OPENS again." On Night 7, the place has not opened again. Its still closed.

[@Toffensky]

@@ImpulseEvan37 yeah I guess but the lack of Phone call is still a thing+Mike would need to get to the job imidantly while Michael, Jeremy and, Fritz are missing in the encyclopedia which may imply the connections between them but Phone Guy being missing should be alerting too(Ik that Phone Dude and MCI are missing but still).It is most likely true that we play as Mike but my point is that Phone Guy shouldn't be excluded in theories

[@shabillalma4907]

Okay, so I'm still watching through but I would argue that this isn't really FNaF's "Original" Story, the main reason being that FNaF 4 was only made due to the fact that people were disappointed with Springtrap's jumpscare and FNaF 3's gameplay. Sure 4 was labeled as "The Final Chapter" but that subtitle was dropped and apparently the mfa modified all signs of the Bite of 87 to become 83, implying that late into development, Scott knew he slightly fucked up on the whole 87 Bite fiasco and so tried to explain with the Halloween DLC and World before moving over to SL. If anything, the "original" FNaF story would be based on the first three games, with an unknown named killer who decided to kill a bunch of no named kids and caused the many possessions throughout the trilogy, these leading to a bunch of other miscellaneous incidents like the Bite of 87 and Phone Guy's death, with the Shadows possibly being victims of Springlock Failure who were caught in the crossfire. Eventually the animatronics were destroyed but the souls would corner Purple Guy and get him springlocked, with the story ending in Fazbear's Fright, where happiest day would happen and the killer finally burned.

[@yevki7606]

Something to add: In a couple of teasers for FNAF 4’s Halloween update, we see the Freddy plushie from the main game; brighten up turn up the contrast (I don’t remember which) on the images and the brown plushie becomes gold AND in one image, we see Nightmarion (aka nightmare puppet) standing behind the plush while in the other we can make out puppet strings attached to the plush.

At the beginning you try to approach the real story by analyzing every detail about the night guards of the first three games, I think it's the right way to try to solve the story but you get to the same conclusions with the same motives we've already heard, and I don't think that's what you should get to by trying this method. It's kinda annoying that the first part of the video didn't bring anything different to this timeline or interpretation of the story. Even if you could stretch the lore of the first four games to get the conclusion that Mike is the protagonist of FNAF 1,2,3 it would be impossible to believe that he is aware of the sins of his father and even more so he would be trying to undo all of what he's done. You're conclusions are just the same we already believe as a community but you can't make those at a point in time when we had just the games and the novels before SL. You're missing evidence. I agree with almost all the rest of the video, really solid points with enough evidence to make them believable. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, it just frustrated me because I have been watching your channel and si think you can do better.

[@ImpulseEvan37]

Then you miss the point of the video

[@S.Kroz1996]

​@ImpulseEvan_37 I think I can give you the reason here, first time I watched the video I was in a math class, so I apologize. The problem I had with the video was that you got to conclusions first and evidence was explained after. You should have waited until the FNAF 4 part to say that Mike (the FNAF 1 and 2 night guard) could be the oldest son of William, the only thing missing would be a reason for Mike to go look for a job as a security guard in FNAF 2, cause he would realice his father is a killer only until the dead bodies of the children are displayed around the pizzeria, also that would be the reason why the toy animatronics act "weird", they wouldn't be possessed. That being said, I really enjoyed the video now that I payed attention to it.

[@ImpulseEvan37]

yyyyyyyeah that happened once, and I was saying Mike couldve been William's son because of how dedicated he was to stop him, implying emotional connection. That had nothing to do with fnaf 4 exclusively, but when I talked about fnaf 4 i explained why it made sense. Also, Mike wouldn't need to have seen the scattered bodies in fnaf 2 to learn william was the killer because William was suspected of being the killer when the FIRST missing children incident happened. While I think in the modern timeline Mike didn't believe his father was the killer at first and learned in sister location, the prior 2 games happening on William's request, in the original story since there was no sister location its entirely possible he knew because everyone else knew

[@TheCollector2401]

The only thing I think you got wrong is Sammy being the puppet. We see in FNAF 2 the puppet dies outside of a Freddy’s location not Fredbear’s. In the night 4 minigame where the crying child is locked in parts & service we see a yellow suit with brown hair coming out. I think the crying child saw Sammy get murdered and stuffed in the suit and that’s why CC is scared of the suits. This small change explains why the puppet is represented by a Fredbear plush in FNAF 4 & FNAF World because the spirit in there isnt the puppet it’s Golden Freddy/Fredbear and fits more with what we see happen in The Silver Eyes, Sammy being killed in Fredbears not outside Freddy’s. The puppet kid is still somewhat important though being the spirit Sammy tells to set up the breadcrumbs (happiest day) for CC in FNAF world because Sammy is unable to do it himself.

[@theoriginalbunnygirl]

Charlotte has been confirmed to posssess the puppet, not Sammy. Sammy is only in the books I believe.

[@rexspecificallyredrex64rem73]

This video relies too much on modern day knowledge to even be legible for the time era it claims to be. It makes more sense for Mike Smith to be Henry than Michael, the idea the protagonist is the killer's son, from that era sounds directly out of fanfiction and the fact you didn't think the pigtail girl was Charlie kinda help prove my first sentence, especially with the teasers of Baby. Remember, this was the era where Magenta man was thought of, and nightmare freddy was actually some sort of spring freddy. The idea that William had a partner turned out to be true, but not a partner in crime, per say. back onto the first line, it being Henry is strong motivation by itself, but explains them knowing how to tinker with the animatronics to such the extent they do in the custom nights, and the fnaf 1 phone guy audio in the background, whether or not Henry is alive in fnaf 4 or fnaf 4 is his purgatory both make sense and are irrelevant. I mean, we didn't know Henry existed back then either, we technically knew him, yes, as the phone guy, but otherwise, the co-creator of freddy's was largely established after the fact. Feels like a similar kind of silly goof-up as claiming that William must have had two wives because mike had azure eyes, crying child had brown eyes, and elizabeth had green eyes, showcasing a lack of understanding of recessive and dominant genes, the idea that if you have azure eyes, your kids can only have differently colored eyes if the spouse had those eyes.

I don't really agree with the Sammy Emily part. I think Sammy was one of the kids who left Charlie out to die. The 'Don't you remember what you just saw' part is probably referring to Charlie.

[@EmeraldTopazz]

This relies way too heavily on modern lore. Nobody would ever come to the conclusion Fritz was the same character as Mike and the Foxybro -- or that his motive was to stop Purple Guy back in the FNAF 1-4 era. The theory that Mike was even Foxybro back then was a stretch that relied heavily on GoldenVictim in a time where the idea of 2 spirits possessing one animatronic was not even remotely implied. Assuming William is communicating through the Fredbear plush at this time is absolutely incorrect -- it becomes a FLOWER, it TELEPORTS. It was either an imaginary friend or possessed. Last issue is we ABSOLUTELY did not play as Mike in FNAF 4's night gameplay. The game's steam page quite literally said we play as BV, the nightmares (notably Fredbear with his bloodied teeth and stomach mouth) match BV's fears and mirror his plushies, and Nightmare seems to symbolize BV's death. The original story of FNAF 4 was probably dream theory. To this day we have no explanation for the tiny toy chica that makes it a crucial detail like Scott's teasers implied. We have no explanation for pigtail girl, or the toy mangle, or the broken foxy plush.... Dream theory made sense of all of the random FNAF 4 minigame details Scott specifically said (at the time) weren't random easter eggs. Lastly, dream theory being retconned out WORKS as the 'one retcon' Scott mentioned in 2017 because while it isn't small, Scott said the retcon wasn't noticed. Everyone hated dream theory and pretty much ignored it after Matpat's video and Sister Location blatantly goes against it so most people just assumed it was never true. The retcon wasn't small, just assumed false. This theory feels less trying to discover the 'original story' and more trying to stretch extremely hard to make Sister Location onwards story seem more planned out.

also as a side-note the golden freddy eye in the thank you image is an error from how golden freddy was made he wasnt a recolored model, he was a image that got hue-shifted in post and had his eyes blacked out scott just messed up the last bit lol

[@raymondnarvaez6683]

It’s a cop out… he didn’t have a story for fnaf in the first game, if he did there would be a cohesive timeline instead we have a timeline that does not line up… Scott will never say what’s in the box because he doesn’t know… the box is just a red herring to keep idiots searching for nothing… if the box is so important and no one all these years has figured it out why won’t Scott just tell us what’s inside… because there’s nothing inside…

[@chaoraiser2338]

As much as I disagree with Michael being the player of FNAF 4 since it's not impossible just having little evidence it's possible but if it's true I still think it's after CC dies not the whole game plus Micheal is pretty small for the view of the bed unless we just assume the bed is tall or he's far enough for it to look like that from his prospective it's also possible he was younger then we think not being likr at least 15 but possibly 12 or 10 also the phone call could be pointing to it being Micheal but it's also possible foreshadowing like maybe during the coma CC is hearing something from the future that's a bit of a stretch but it's possible because into the pit exist also as many people say I don't think Fredbear had a springlock failure that would be impossible if he's in animatronic mode it really would just be the robot also if Micheal is or was the player I think it was reconned 3 times first it was CC then Micheal then went back to CC it would make sense for the story idk it just feels pretty forced in of a theory kinda like the Evan one that some people believe it's not a bad theory but the evidence doesn't fully stand

[@disma4191]

Wouldn't the Original Plan just be FNaF 1-3 scince it was meant to be a Trilogy

[@Namenotaken]

Ik my boy Michael Afton exists now but where tf do you get like shmidt is pee paw aftons son

[@ImpulseEvan37]

Plenty of people believed in the fnaf 4 days that bv and FoxyBro were purple guy’s children, and Mike Schmidt’s dedication to stopping him implies emotional connection

[@Namenotaken]

@@ImpulseEvan37 but we didn’t get foxy bro is the fnaf 1 protag until SL

[@ImpulseEvan37]

Did you even watch the video

[@Namenotaken]

@@ImpulseEvan37 yeah

[@CreativelyJake]

if this aint dream theory,,

[@ImpulseEvan37]

It’s not

[@Shrekthe2nd]

Lovely lovely video

[@hugomorales418]

The night mares anamatronic are real

[@magnumbreakz]

isn't the "original" fnaf story just dream theory though?

[@jp-toaster]

Never was confirmed

[@1Tombb]

Me when Dream Geist

[@Abs0lut3_ZER0]

If the shoe fits. Way beyond reasinable doubt great wirk impulse

[@Finallaten12142]

Great video dude

[@MBdynamoBostik]

Here's what I think. The crying Child was the original Micheal Afton but it was then switched to Foxybro.

[@carolynnwoodside2443]

but charlotte!

[@ImpulseEvan37]

by the silver eyes, we didn't know she was the one who died yet

[@danielroberts8049]

Could not finish. Obviously clutching at straws to not have the original story be dream theory

[@ImpulseEvan37]

Literally no one said it wasn’t

[@matthew...4961]

Fancy

[@k.ms.perkins8644]

He's Is still wrong But unfortunately he tried But a failure LoL 😒

[@hypemugen]

You got fnaf 4's protagonist wrong though. In fnaf 4 itself you can occasionally see an Iv drip next to the bed or some flowers, implying this person is in a hospital. So either way, it's most likely that this isn't Mike, but his younger brother after the bite. Mike would have no reason to be hospitalized.

[@k.ms.perkins8644]

Afton Is still unrelated LoL and such As England LoL 🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒😒

[@fatassjerome2681]

This could have been a great video because its an interesting concept and you are using great evidence, but its impossible to follow or understand because of how fast you present all this information. If you just slow down so that the viewer can understand the story as well as you this would be way better. Other than that i thought this is a great video. I really like the theory and keeping it in the original games. I think a motive for william to start killing would make it alot better but there just isnt any evidence for one this esrly in the games.

[@BigBoiBleu]

But there was no Sammy...it was Charlie all along 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ImpulseEvan37]

Of course it was always Charlie. She was definitely planned to have been the first victim as the time, but without the information from the twisted ones or fourth closet it would’ve been perfectly reasonable to come to the conclusion that it was Sammy at the time
