I’m curious about all your theories, and clues!
If you are onto someone I wanna know first!!!! I think Cece still plays a large role in this. She may be the only one besides Ali who knows the whole story!
So what’s floating around in those pretty little minds?
The books were inspired by a real life -A known as the circleville letters?
A series of anonymous, threatening letters recieved by people in a small town in 1976.The writer seemed to know secret details about the people who got the notes. The case was never solved. It was once discussed on the 80’s TV series UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.
Here’s more information: (long, but very interesting read)
Circleville, Ohio is a small town just south of Columbus. In 1976, a school bus driver named Mary Gillespie received a mysterious note in the mail. It accused her of having an affair with the superintendent of schools. Allegedly it said in part: “I know where you live. I’ve been observing your house and know you have children. This is no joke. Please take it serious.” No signature, no return address. It was postmarked from Columbus, Ohio. A week later, she received another note with this same message.
Her husband soon starts receiving notes as well. The letter-writer wanted him to stop the alleged affair between Mary Gillespie and the superintendent. One letter read in part: “Gillispie, you have had 2 weeks and done nothing. Make her admit the truth and inform the school board. If not, I will broadcast it on CBs, posters, signs, and billboards, until the truth comes out.”
The Gillespies told three people about the letters: Ron’s sister, her husband Paul Freshour, and Paul’s sister. Evidently they had an idea of the author of these notes and sent a few threatening notes to him/her. The letters stopped.
In August of 1977, Ron received a phone call. He took his weapon, told his children he was going to confront the letter writer, and left. He then lost control of his car at an intersection and died in a car accident. His gun had been fired once, for reasons unknown. His blood alcohol level was .16.
The letters kept coming. Mary Gillespie and the superintendent admitted to an intimate relationship, but said it began after the letters were sent (insert eye roll here).
In 1983, Mary discovered a booby trap along her bus route. On the side of a rural road, a sign was put up. Mary pulled the sign down, and upon inspection, found a gun inside that was supposed to go off when she ripped down the sign. The strange booby trap had failed. And whose gun was used in the trap? Paul Freshour’s gun, that’s whose gun! Paul claimed someone had stolen it years ago.
The police brought Paul in and gave him an ingenious test—-he was told to copy the Circleville letters and emulate the author’s handwriting. How anyone thought this would prove or disprove that he actually wrote them, we are uncertain. Paul Freshour was convicted of attempted murder, based on circumstantial evidence. His prison sentence was 7 to 25 years.
Much to the town of Circleville’s surprise, the notes continued after Paul Freshour was sent to prison. They were still postmarked from Columbus, even though Paul was serving time across the state. He was heavily monitored and investigated, and no evidence of letter-writing/sending/smuggling could be found. Paul was paroled after serving ten years of his sentence. He received a note from the letter writer seven years into his sentence (around 1990). It read in part: “Now when are you going to believe you aren’t going to get out of there? I told you 2 years ago. When we set ‘em up, they stay set up. Don’t you listen at all?”
A fellow bus driver had driven by the spot where the sign was erected minutes before Mary saw it, and she reported seeing a yellow El Camino on the side of the road and a man was outside the car, turned away, unable to be identified. This testimony was not included in Freshour’s trial.
The letters stopped, and Circleville moved on. The Circleville writer actually wrote a note to Unsolved Mysteries before they aired their segment.
^ that’s an image of the letter.
People received letters saying the sheriff had covered up the murder by ruling if as an accident, and much more.
So, Toby is alive! This is ridiculous! I mean, why would a random body in the woods have his tattoo? And even if it was him in the woods faking it, a body was still found… and brought to the morgue with HIS tattoo.
In other notes, Ali is Red Coat, but we obviously saw that coming. How did Ali get all this power? All this money? And lastly how’d she get so rude? Assuming this is twin theory, and that Ali or Courtney is the red clocked fiend, which one is it? And is it similar to the book at all? I’m suprised that she has the power to shut down cell towers, and read texts, and well, you know, break every law that there is. But let’s not forget one thing.. Ali used to be their friend. Has this all been set up to be a game? Is Ali at home laughing about the way she made four girls popular, just to tear them apart from each other and everything and everyone they love? She obviously loves them, or else she wouldn’t have saved them all from that burning house. Maybe Mona isn’t so bad after all. She only did what Spencer did, which was take an offer that was irrefutable. Was Ali aware that Toby and Spencer were up to no good? She must have, as she asked Mona to kill Spence, however, when the tables turned, Mona didn’t question as to whether he would do it or not, she just assumed he became like her. What was the point of burning that house down? And also, who’s house IS it? Either way, Ali lit the house on fire, but saved them… Why? Did she want them to be confused? Oh.. WAIT. Of course she did. Why wouldn’t she?
What’s up with the lighter she threw at Toby? Did I miss something? I am usually pretty good at noticing these things, but if you know more about the lighter, PLEASE share! So whats up with that ending? Someone died obviously… but who is in the trunk? It has to be a body, I mean COME ON. People be gettin’ killed like every five seconds!!!!
The hand we saw in previous episodes coming out of the dirt at Ali’s, was seen tonight again. Only this time a helping hand was there to pull her out of the dirt. But who’s hand was it really? And also, who helped her out of the dirt?
Ali has done some dirty work to the girls reps while she was “alive” and now shouldnt be any different. Judging them, teaching Han to throw up after meals, rejecting yet egging on Emily’s emotions, tattling on Spencer’s kisses with Wren and Ian, and also don’t forget about her blaming the girls for what happened to Jenna! She once asked Aria, “You know why I chose you right?”… NO, please explain your crazy ass. Aria didn’t question, and just took it as a returgical question. So many times these girls have had the oppurtunity to ask her! Why have they just summed everything up to “I was daydreaming” I think a physical person being there is pretty good proof.
Let’s go back to the Ali sighting in the hospital… Spencer danced with her.. Couldn’t she tell it was real? Also, not to mention, she didn’t fall asleep after her witnessing Ali. Everyone else fell asleep, assuming it was only a dream. So, is Wren in on this? And if so, how far?
How are the girls suppose to know if they clues they get from Ali are real? I mean she has obviously been deceiving everyone for a long time. It’s like the town is her game board and the people inside are the tiny little player pieces, which she moves and destroys to her will.
I guess we will find out next season Liars…..
Ali is alive
I will be watching old PLL episodes, and writing theories!
