Jac

## Jacqueline (?) B. ?

**Jac** is the person who originally received the tapes that the series is about. In Episode 1, around 0:30, Jac says that her name is Jacqueline. As there are multiple ways of writing "Jacqueline" and we only hear her say the word, this way of writing the name is taken from the auto-generated YouTube captions. The word "Jac" however appears in writing, in several of the episode description texts.

Based on a comment from episode 1 mentioned below, Jac may be assumed to be around 27 years of age at the time of recording episode 1, placing her birth year some time around 1993.

* In episode 1, around 3:00, Jac mentions that she has a middle name. In episode 2, she says that her middle name starts with the letter B.
* In episode 1, around 5:06, Jac explains that she does not care anymore if anyone believes her: "I spent my entire childhood trying to convince people that these tapes were real, and no matter what evidence I produced, people still found some way to try and say it was all fake. So I stopped caring".
* In episode 1, around 5:45 Jac says: "When I was 12, my sister played one of these tapes, the third one I received, at a halloween party for some friends. And one of them was recording the party on video. In it, I walk in while they're playing it, and I freak out on them." Lena comments: "Okay, so at the very least, we can prove that the existence of these tapes goes back 15 years or so?", to which Jac responds: "Correct."
	+ Assuming that the year in which Lena recorded the episode is 2020, this would mean that Jac was 12 at about 15 years ago. This would make her 27 at the time of recording and set her birth year at around 1993.

## Family

* Father and mother.
* Younger brother.
* Older sister.

### Family house

When Jac was 9 and received the first tape, she was living with her family in the family house. Although we do not have a lot of information about the house, this is what we know:

* The house was at the edge of some woods.
* The house had a garage.
* Jac had her own room in the house.

## Notable events and life periods

### Cross-country family vacation

Immediately prior to receiving the first tape, Jac and her family had been on a cross-country family vacation in a station wagon, as told by her in episode 1. This includes all of Jac's family except for her sister, as mentioned by her in episode 2.

Jac tells that she had been causing a "big fuss" towards the end of the trip.

Jac's retelling of this story makes it appear like the envelope with tape A was already waiting on their doorstep when the family returned from the trip.

### Psychological treatment

Several times throughout the series, Jac says that she had been in psychological treatment for a long time, with several doctors. According to her, the reason for her treatment is the fear induced in her by the tapes. In episode 2, she explicitly states that it was tape C that sent her to therapy first.

## Parents

* In episode 1, around 3:09, Jac describes her parents' reactions to the first tape: "At first, they just assumed it was a friend who sent me a package from camp or something. Truthfully, I was being a right shit by the end of the trip, so I think they were happy to have a distraction. [...] I was nine, and I just spent three weeks in a station wagon with my parents and my brother."
