I’m not a robot; just a socially-inept dyslexic. The is my first real time having a social media account, so please be patient with me.
I’m hoping for this blog to open up discussions for fandoms I’m in [here]. I plan to post a lot of analysis, theories, and similar media delves. I’ll try my best to tag everything so that it’s easily accessible. If you ever have a question or need clarification regarding anything, please message me; it might take some time, but I’ll do my best to keep on top of it.
I plan to use a Trigger Warning (TW) system. It can be found at the top of relevant posts and in the tags. If you think anything should be added to the listed TWs, let me know.
If I ever do anything or write something that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know. As mentioned above, I’m not the best at socializing and there’s nothing wrong about being blunt. Please just don’t do it in a hateful way.
I do not consent to have any of my post fed to an AI. I don’t like generative AI replacing human ingenuity and I do not like that they’re built on the backs of stolen works. Please do not try to change my mind on this.
Racist, Sexists, Pedophiles/MAPs, and the rest of the Bigots can feel free to block me and get sucked off by a black hole; so that no one has to ever deal with you again.
I see that you've archived a lot, if not most of the find jack walten websites, but I'm looking for one in particular that I can't seem to find on neocities. I've double, even TRIPLE checked. It's related to investigation1/detective side story, which involved a picture of some house in the middle of nowhere, and if I remember correctly, a paragraph relating to the C.T Console in one of the animatronics being meddled with remotely, and the investigation leading them to somewhere in california.
I hate to tell you this, but I do not remember anything like this being on any incarnation of Findjackwalten. Is it possible this was in a different series or even in some kinda walten files fan project?
It is my belief that the Charles Brook is responsible for the recurring baby doll we keep seeing through out the the Walten Files (TWF). I’ve been working on this theory since 2023, but I didn’t officially start gathering and writing my evidence until April of 2025. Below is the collection of my findings and analysis of the recurring doll’s appearances, their relations with Charles, and what it could mean for the series going forward.
Find Jack Walten Update: 1/1/2022
The baby doll first appeared on Find Jack Walten (FJW) on the “/missing” page during the January 1, 2022 update. It looked to take the form of a reassembled broken porcelain face. At the time it was unclear what the image was specially of, as there weren’t any known young humanoid Bunny Smiles Inc. (BSI) characters.
The “/missing” page has always had strong association with Charles. The page’s the first image was a torn drawing of his human face overlaid with mouth and teeth scrap drawings- features called attention to in BunnyFarm (TWF 3)- and the page’s slash address, “missing,” is a reference to his phrase from the same episode,“MISSING-07 -14-74.” Since the reveal of Charles’ position as BSI’s Computer Supervisor in CyberFun Tech (TWF 4), a CRT monitor has been added and used to depict all of the page’s teasers.
The dolls presence was further emphasized in the FJW 2022 update, as it had managed to gain access on Anthony Miller’s website on FJW “/BrightonGhosts.” Using the linked page “can a Ghost KILL me,” redirects us back to the “/missing page” (it is still linked). This intrusion implies one-of-two things about the whoever is behind the doll; they were killed by a ghost (ironic humor) or they are a killer ghost (threat). As informed by Charles in TWF 3, he was killed by the Bon animatronic, who we know is being possessed by “Bon,” thanks to TWF 4. It also seems to be in character for him to make a joke (especially at his own expense) to lighten the mood- like he did in TWF 4, when Banny hit the table during the walkaround testing.
I’d also like to call attention to “/Investigation1” page during this update. This page updated with a picture of an unknown character with their removed eyes sitting just above the sockets on their opposite brow. We can assume it’s Charles because of the wide nose bridge, similar eye shape, the low sitting forehead wrinkle, and the distance between the face’s eye to eyebrow. I note it here because the eyes in the “Investigation1” image share very similar qualities to that of the doll’s; flooded black irises, white sclera, with very tiny white reflectors. It could be just a stylist choice, but it’s an odd coincidence for 2 images to be released in the same update, with such similar eyes, who can both be easily linked back to Charles.
Souvenir
The next time we see the baby doll is at the end of "Souvenir," when Bon is hanging it up with the rest of the titular souvenirs in the BSI Storage Facility (K-9 Facility). Obviously, this is not the exact same doll from FJW, but the appearances are over a year apart- the design could have been updated or changed, like Brian’s was. However, what spurned me to start writing my observations in April of 2025, is that we see proof that someone is possessing the doll. When the scene starts to fade black the doll starts swinging itself again after it already came to a complete stop at 0:32. The doll only starts moving after Bon had exited the frame, heavily implying that whoever is in the doll is afraid enough of “Bon” that they only try to struggle after Bon has left. The ending events of "Hotline" confirms someone is using the doll as a body.
As it was observed and discussed by the community each of the hanging items had a connection to a character: Bottles= Felix, Tools=Susan, Funeral Bouquet= Rosemary- however, due to the obviousness of the others, the doll’s caused confusion. The main victims of theorizing are; Edd & Molly, Jack, and Charles.
As implicated by the 2022 FJW update, the doll is related to someone who died to or is a killer ghost- meaning it can’t be Edd & Molly, who we know died in the car crash and don't seem to have murderous intent. In fact, I believe we have already seen Edd & Molly’s souvenir in “Relocate Project” (TWF 2); when Ashely is exploring the rest of the K9 Facility she comes across Rocket, who is hung up in a similar position to the rest of the souvenirs. This leaves Jack and Charles as the representees.
Jack could’ve been considered a killer ghost, but thanks to TWF 4, we know he isn’t responsible for the Bon Burger’s murders (at least in name). We also don’t know how he died; so, we can’t rule or rule out that he was killed by a ghost. The only other correlation between Jack and a baby doll, is that Jack has kids; but none of said Walten children have been shown interacting with a baby doll, and both Rosemary and Charles have children; so, Jack just 'having kids' doesn't seem personal enough reason for a doll to be his souvenir.
Charles has a preexisting connection via the 2022 FJW page and is someone we explicitly know to have been killed by “Bon” thanks to TWF 3. We also later learned of a possible related history from Eva, upon confirming Charles' daughter had a baby doll. We gained canonical correlation between Boozoo (the animatronic Charles is possessing) and the doll during "Hotline."
Find Jack Walten Update: 2/12/2024
On December 2, 2024 the “/missing” page was updated. The computer monitor- which first appeared in the September 2nd update of that year - now displayed a new video.
At the 2:14 mark, there’s a minor 3 second interruption to the slowed cover of “Down Town” by Petula Clark, “it’s rai-”. The voice returns at 2:38, continuing what it was previously singing before being cut-off again 5 seconds later, “-aining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring, he jumped in bed and bumped his head-”. It comes back quicker this time, returning at 2:50 to finish the song, “and couldn’t get up in the morning.” At 2:55, it asks “Would you play, ‘Round-and-Round the Garden’ with me?” At 3:00, the voice adds that, “I know that by heart. Would you-” but is cut off before they can re-ask their previous question. At 3:10 Rosemary starts to fade in over the image of the restored lamb card, and the same voice sings a rendition of “Round-and-Round the Garden.”
On the surface, it was unclear who exactly the interrupting voice belonged too; no character was established to sound like that- less so why Charles (his FJW page) was being associated with anything happening in the Rosemary (Sha) focused video. However, considering the use of nursery rhymes and the overall younger sounding voice, it is easy to conclude it may belongs baby doll character. The same character which had just inhabited that very same FJW page for more than 2 1/2 years. Looking back, we know this for certain, as these same phrases get used in “Hotline” by the Boozoo and the doll.
Cyberfun Tech (TWF 4)
After that, the next time we see the baby doll is sitting in front of the Showstoppers on the tapes official title card at 2:08 TWF 4, an odd inclusion for an official tape produced for a franchise with no human baby character. However, that isn’t the only odd thing about the scene; the doll’s shadow doesn’t align. From my understanding of how light works, the shadow should be lower than the doll’s head due to the light coming from an above light source. I’ll address the knee hugging position at a later date.
Soon after the title card, Charles’ BSI notebook appears at 2:50. There is heavily implication that Charles is the one showing us these notes, as it his notebook and the background goes completely black- just like how it blackened during TWF 2 during the more ghostly interactions. Logistically, these photos of his notes shouldn’t be present on the official tape; notes from a publicly missing employee about experimentative equipment getting broken is not a good look, promotional or otherwise.
The Discord
A possible origin for the recurring baby doll emerged on the Official Walten Files Discord Server soon after TWF 4 was released. Eva said that if Lily Brook, Charles' daughter, had a childhood toy, it would be "A baby." Assuming the recurring doll is the same one that belonged to Lilly, it would explain why he’s been the character with the constant association with the recurring baby doll for the past 2 years.
Find Jack Walten Update: 21/04/2024
Although not a visual appearance the baby doll does make a reemergence. Upon reaching the score 19-82 in the “Beach Fun” game, a body replaces the background image, while a crying baby replaces the audio. Considering that we do not know of any ghost baby, this is likely a recording from the doll’s voice box- as crying is a common soundbite for baby dolls.
I do not believe that this confirms the body to be Charles, I am fairly certain it is Ashely Park’s corpse. Other than being distressed/scared, I’m not exactly sure why the doll would be crying over Ashely’s body. I do have a theory in the works, but this is analysis on the appearances of the baby doll and its relation to Charles, and if we get into it, we’ll get off topic. I’ll do an analysis of "Beach Fun" at a later date.
Hotline
Although the doll itself doesn’t physically appear until 06:54, that isn’t where its influence is first felt- that would be in Boozoo’s choice of musical dialogue throughout his interactions with David. Throughout the minisode Boozoo sings 3 nursery rhymes, “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring,” at 5:45, “Round-and-Round the Garden,” at 6:05 (after asking and re-asking if we’d play it with them and how they “know that by heart” at 5:54), and “Oranges and Lemons” at 6:20. Throughout this the Boozoo animatronic is using a previously unassociated higher-pitched voice with very young dialogue- an odd choice for the older British male character. Especially, since he has yet to be replicate this voice outside of this episode.
As previously mentioned, we have heard most of these lines before. The video added to “/missing” monitor during the December 2024 update, uses a modulated renditions of “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring,” the lines asking if we’d play “Round-and-Round the Garden” and how they “know that by heart,” and a rendition of “Round-and-Round the Garden.”
Later when the baby doll reappears at 10:28, after Susan jumps the camera, it repeats the same song we’ve previously heard coming from the Boozoo animatronic that episode,
“-man is snoring, he jumped in bed and bumped his head, and couldn't get up in the morning. Will you play Round-and-Round the Garden, with me. I know that by heart.”
The words “SEE YOU SOON” also appear on screen as its eyes move to look in the opposite direction. This does have a connection back to Charles, as he’s had been associated with the phrase “see you soon” prior to “Hotline” releasement. The August 31st, 2021 FJW update to the “/missing” page, was blacked out expect for the phrase “I’ll see you soon.”
It should be mentioned, that dolls in the 1970s would have been using analog mechanisms to create the ‘talking’ doll feature. Which would explain why it can communicate via analog like the other ghosts are said to do in “Lucky You.”
What That Means for the Future
We have confirmation from Martin that the doll will be in "Behind the Smiles" (TWF 6), so keep an eye out for the doll; wherever it is, Charles will be close by. I can’t say much else, other than that, as it would be pure speculation.
Below is the series I’ll write for. If a fandom is not on the list, that doesn’t mean I won’t interact with it- just that it’s not my usual fandom output. I’ll do my best to keep this up to date!
