"I was the first! I have seen everything!"
This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied. |
- Garrett is the only known victim of Afton whose ultimate fate has yet to be revealed.
- Although Afton's other known victims have gone on to possess most of the animatronics featured in the film, it is unknown if Garrett ever possessed an animatronic or simply passed on.
- The music box tune playing at the end of credits, along with the voice spelling out "Come Find Me" have led many to speculate that Garrett is the Puppet reaching out to Mike, and that the FNaF 2 film will explore this.
- A piece of evidence comes from the "My Grandfather's Clock" soundtrack, which is the Puppet's music box. At 2:18, the sound of Garrett's "woosh" can be heard, which is commonly played when Garrett is playing with his toy airplane.
- The likely hood of Garrett possessing a character from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a location that seemingly was active during the kidnapping and death of Garrett, adds to the theory of him possibly possessing Puppet and or another character within the location.
- Others speculate he possessed the Balloon Boy figurine, as it is seemingly haunted and can freely roam anywhere.
- There are also people who speculate that he does not possess any animatronic, and that his soul is simply lingering at Freddy's.
