I like to think the mannequins that suddenly float up to the surface were doing something underwater, and when you show up they freeze up like the toys in toy story and float up because they can't hold themselves down anymore, and then the current carries them away.

[@cyriell]

[@theheltonator2852]

In FO4 at the Mass Bay Medical Center behind a locked door is a female mannequin with a cigarette standing on a charred pile of corpses. There's a flamer and flamer fuel on the counter. Always felt there was more to the story there. Love the creepiness of it.

[@NoobTamer]

I love this glitch. In case anyone didn't know why it happens, the way Bethesda made the mannequins be able to display what armor you give them is to make them npcs. Normally all movement is disabled for them, but spaghetti code makes it so they can move occasionally.

There is a Silent Hill overhaul mod for Fallout 4 called Whispering Hills. There are triggers in the mod where you can enter a room, and when you leave, the area you had just been in will be FILLED with mannequins. And not all of those mannequins are content to remain still. Honestly, it's one of the best mods I've ever downloaded. I play it every Halloween.

[@Haru-spicy]

in Fallout 4, mannequins are a sign of Synth Infiltration and offer clues as to who nearby might be a synth. I'm not sure whether it's an in-universe clue, where the synths use mannequins to hide like in that one example, or if it's just a hint from the developers, but it seems remarkably accurate. Many characters who are revealed to be synths have mannequins sitting in their living spaces someplace.

[@Punipunpi_panda]

Yes I noticed my first game through that when you enter a building and there are mannequins around it usually means you have to fight synths

I always assumed that the violent mannequins/garden gnomes around the map resulted from Ug-Qualtoth's manipulation. The eldritch creature briefly possessed them after the bombs fell as a gambit to maintain the power it gained from the Dunwich site sacrifices. They roamed around looking for human victims, but couldn't find enough people for Ug-Qualtoth to sustain itself after the war. (much less 200 years.) This is why the mannequins/gnomes don't move anymore and why Ug-Qualtoth never attacks the player directly, it's become too weak after all this time.

I always find them at the side or even in the middle of the roads, on boats floating upon what is left of great rivers and lakes, they dont move, yet they sometimes seem to be... doing something... exploring the apalachia is REALLY eerie because of them, i dont feel observed, but it always feels like they are the only ones thriving in the wasted world of fallout

[@moonshadow7838]

That is what I like about the Fallout series. It is not scary, it is unsettling, creepy and strangely funny in the stupidest ways. Also, no matter where they are, mannequins are creepy, and I specially don't trust Fallout mannequins (creepy f*cks *shudder*).

That sounds really creepy and also sounds like something I'm planning for my table-top D&D game. There's a painting on the wall of an abandoned keep showing a countryside during a moonlit night with a path leading to a forest. The painting keeps changing every time you look away (something is approaching, clouds scud across the moon, tree branches move, etc). It stays the same if you stare at it. Eventually, the thing leaps through the enchanted portal/painting to attack. I just haven't decided on what beastie to use.

[@Tumbledweeb]

Not just useful from a "larger group" perspective; Placing them on guard points on walls gives the illusion of an area being more heavily guarded than what is actually the case. Also, if you're home alone in your settlement, they can be used alongside some festive decorations and Christmas music to give the impression that there's a Christmas shindig with a high attendance rate going on.

Your theory of ghost actually make the most sense, in the theme about the Fallout Series, which is Capital Realism, and stagnations, and despite it's was the Prewar world that droves the world to unclears destructions, all factions within the games (in America at least) are still doing the same thing that set the world into destructions, and the skeletons are still doing what they do 200 years, never endingly repeating it. Even after people became the living misty dead, they still go on business as usual, and the capital economic system is ongoing, even an apocalypse will not end it.

[@AlexMourning5635]

There's a really great short horror film called Still Life that came out forever ago, and it has honestly always stuck with me whenever I think about shop mannequins specifically. For Fallout, I really like the concept that it's an easter-egg reference to the murder at the time. This also makes me picture a cartoonish villain setting up a murder scene five seconds before the nuke goes off.

there is a location that's controlled by the Gunners in Fallout 4, its a hospital in downtown Boston. There is a side quest you can do that takes you to this location. I think its one of the MYLA side quest. In one room you find two mannequins stand over a pile of ash with some scattered bones. One of the mannequins is holding a lighter, with flamer ammo on the shelf. Both mannequins are untouched by the fire. Entering the room creeped me out, because of how unexpecting it was.

[@TealDobber]

So, I like a lot of your theories here. And, I'd say a lot of them are true in some cases. However, I think you missed the mark a bit with the synth one. The modification I'd suggest is that at some point the synths were relocating the mannequins to help the older models blend in. I Suppose they developed specific models to look like the mannequins, but that seems like a short dead-end road with its own unique problems. It seems simpler and easier to collect and relocate mannequins where you'll be deploying synths and want more options to blend in. That would have likely stopped when they had better options, like crows, brain, and higher end synths.

[@TamTroll]

i like the idea that there was a very brief moment of time -somewhere around the range of 1-2 hours- where the Maniquins spontaneously came to life, moved around, possibly killed people, and then just as spontaneously, reverted back to being inanimate. Maybe this happened more then once, and only covering small locations, explaining things like the pre-war ship, and the post-war displays.

[@Relaxedplaythroughs]

In fallout 76 I've discovered a rare spot on the map where you can find the victims of the killer mannequin and his partner in crime a Teddy fear bear along with about 7 skinned bodies. Its located in the woods south of Garrahan mining headquarters near the edge of the map. Look for a outhouse its where they hid after the murders.

[@Relaxedplaythroughs]

Side note to make finding it easier its also next to a random animal encounter it'll either be frogs or ragstags are the most common spawns.

[@gamervet4760]

I heard about this theory from Epic Nate long before I even got my PS4 to play FO4. I destroy every mannequin I come across. I frequent the wasteland doing Minutemen quests for XP, and I frequented an area near the Saugus Ironworks. I had to come back to it 5 or 6 times. Once for the shishkabab, second for the bobblehead because I forgot it was in it and a few more times to clear out raiders. I usually walk from the farm to the Ironworks as fast travel is an extra unneeded loading screen and came across a line of mannequins in a single file formation going uphill. Blew them up with grenades and moved on. I trust nothing but Dogmeat in this game.

[@MillieBlackRose]

I kinda wish they did more with them but at the same time the subtlety makes it creepier

[@JP-uf9sh]

I've always looked at the mannequins as a tool for breaking of the third wall with the player. Where the game uses them to show what happened to the skeletons lying about. Kinda like a shadow puppet show. But I also like the creepy factor of the possibility of them moving on their own.

[@AdamaSanguine]

A few years ago I was touring the Museum of Freedom in FO4. I was standing in the room with the British Soldier Mannequins, when my Sole Survivor took damage. It was similar to taking damage from "fire" or becoming ill in Survival Mode. Only there was no flame and I wasn't in said mode. When I turned around, the only thing behind me was one of the soldiers, holding his bayoneted rifle! I know the mannequins in Fallout are actually NPCs that have their AI turned off and made "Static", similar to the Armour Mannequins in Skyrim. It was probably just a "glitch", but to this day, I KNOW that my character was assaulted by a mannequin! True Story.👍

[@ForgottenChronicler]

In Fallout 76, some of the random encounters you can find are these circles of mannequins. One version has a note saying that its a memorial, but other versions can have them surround a US supply crate, or even a dead body Furthermore, not sure if this happens in 4, but when you take Berry Mentats it also highlights mannequins as living targets. Almost certainly a side effect of how the CE does mannequins (eg, Skyrims walking mannequins), but still fun to speculate that theres something more going on in them

I don't know if you've played Fallout 76 or not. However, throughout the wastelands of Appalachia, you will periodically find mannequins in strange places that they shouldn't be. Come back later, and they're gone. This was even before the Wastelanders update. One of the more common places that this occurs is on the road leading from Sutton to Helvetia. Usually near the shell of a truck just outside of the town. However, it isn't the only location where mannequin are known to appear for no reason, and then be gone the next time to travel through the area.
