I SOLVED Golden Freddy's Identity Crisis! | FNAF Theory

Golden Freddy is one of FNAF's oldest mysteries, I mean he was all the way back in FNAF 1 after all. TEN years ago. I guess that makes this video just in time for the Five Nights at Freddy's anniversary. Look, do I think this theory is a confirmed fact? Obviously not, but I fully believe in this theory VERY strongly. I think it gives us satisfying answers on Andrew, Cassidy, the crying child, and even Mike!

Golden Freddy is actually my buddy Eric, he just does that sometimes.

Cassidy: *walks up to CC*
Crying Child: Da-dy
Cassidy: DO I LOOK LIKE-

Yk part of me almost wonders if during the production of the first game, Golden Freddy was intended to be the suit William used to lure the children, with the it’s me line referring to William saying “it’s ME”… the killer, with the direction of the story pivoting when the fanbase grew and Scott decided he wanted to create something more than just a spoopy robot game out of spite.

During the days of the first and second games, summing everything up to just “kids died and are haunting the robots” was probably everything Scott was really thinking about, especially with the DCI being present to almost give a reason for more robots to be haunted, however upon seeing how deeply the fanbase was theorizing about the series, he decided to take it a bit more seriously.

That’s just how it reads to me anyway…

[Srelathon]

I really hope that some day Scott will release the full true lore of every bit of the series. As fun as it is theorizing and whatnot, knowing the truth afterwards would be far more satisfying.

22:38 what if Cassidy is saying "it's me" to Michael because they think Michael is William too? Afterall, in the first games, all of the other animatronics think Michael is his father, so why not Cassidy too? Maybe they're saying "it's me" in a "hey, remember me? Cause I remember you and you shouldn't have killed me" kind of way.

[Wumpini]

Golden freddy is sans undertale confirmed?

[LiMe]

That cat was having the time of its life.

[clayton_rose]

I always assumed golden Freddy was a fazbear attempt to cover up Fredbear by saying he’s a brand new animatronic.

[SpectreBagels]

Personally I think the way CC died actually does lend credence to why he is also possessing Golden Freddie. And it kinda relates to the Stitch Wraith, not 1 to 1 but the concept it introduces. It's just that CC has less control and Cassidy has more because of how they died in relation to the suit and how they are in the animatronic. Cassidy's whole body was in there so she has better control and more memories, but CC's body wasn't in there so he can't do much. A good indication he is in there is him saying "I can't see" as Altered Text. If CC was just a wandering spirit, he'd be able to see but just be lost.

Also you might say, "well you have to actually be stuffed into it to possess it" and to that I Charlie wasn't killed by or stuffed into the Puppet but she still possesses it. So the rules of how possession work arent as simple as the body needing to be in the object or be in contact for long since Charlie was found that night. The only significance the body has to possess based on all the deaths is to set what degree of control the spirit has and how much of their memory they have but the body doesn't necessarily have to be in the object for possession to take place.

As for my answer for the "It's Me" showing up at random times without Golden Freddie being on screen. Either that's an early warning indication that Golden Freddie has a chance to appear soon or it is able to happen cause Golden Freddie is in the building. As seen in multiple FNAF media, including the movie, a spirit doesn't need to be in the room to communicate with someone

My idea on how the crying child could end up in Fredbear: The Bite, or more specifically, its aftermath, when the bite happened, things like bone parts, skin, Blood, and Brain matter were likely splattered out, ending up all over Fredbear’s mouth. The remaining blood, brain matter, bone parts etc would allow him to possess Golden Freddy, since there were still pieces of him on Fredbear.

[jan_harald]

this makes quite a bit of sense, the entire mechanic for dealing with golden freddy is basically "don't look at it", the "it's me" doesn't help you, but it can make sense in the context of "no, it's me, look at me not that guy!"
then again, I also like the theories that CC is the one in golden freddy, his remnant/agony possessing the suit, but his body buried away, remember that the suit was dual-mode, it functioned as both performer suit, and animatronic suit, and while the possessors can manipulate the robot system, they can't full-on override, and later on the animatronic parts were removed outright, to repair other animatronics, leaving it as an emergency performer suit to replace freddy if need be, being unable to override, only manipulate, also explains fnaf3, remember, springtrap is forced to move to the rooms with the audio lure, with the laughter of a child, william CAN'T control that, if he was fully in control, he would not keep on following laughter of invisible children, even in security breach, the virus can only manipulate the animatronics, it cannot full on override, it makes them seek a lost child, something that's pre-programmed, and then causes whatever the jumpscare is, but we know from parts and service, that even "good ol' buddy" freddy will do the same attack if you mess up the repair, so that, too, would most likely be a "feature", in fnaf 1 & 2, also, each animatronic has specific patterns they do not stray from, e.g. they only ever enter from one side, they never wander to the other side, simply lost souls would not be sticking to such patterns, especially so if they do want to kill the nightguard, because even kids generally understand catching people by surprise works a lot better than being predictable
and the twitching suit in UCN can be explained as "the one" taunting william, who tried to preserve his son's life my shoving him into the suit, after all hope had already been lost, but only causing more pain

[emberisk]

bear is golden and is freddy = golden freddy

thats who golden freddy is. stop trying to give him an identity crisis. He golden. he freddy

[loganentertainment]

P.s. I do agree with you. Give the UCN last ending, Golden Freddy moving is crazy, because we’ve never seen Golden Freddy physically move. His twitching is similar to how Afton got springlocked.

The reason Cassidy being vengeful to William, because William stuffed Cassidy in GF, the springlocks went off, making it agonizing even more.

As for why Cassidy was labeled as the princess and changed back to princess, it’s up for debate? 🤷🤔

21:08 something I just now noticed about the word search (somehow, because it's very obvious): "it's me" is almost written a LOT, it's all over the place. Usually broken up in the middle by an unrelated letter or 2. Assuming altered text (and therefore the crying child) did that, that's actually really sad. He's calling out to Mike with that classically Golden Freddy phrase, but for one reason or another he just can't quite get the words out.

I know a lot of people recently have started having doubts about Golden Freddy's dual possession we assumed for a while- I still believe it's the case, but I'm not gonna call anyone wrong. Just going on a little ramble about how a particular detail fits under my particular interpretation. :>

[loganentertainment]

The thumbnail looks like Golden Freddy has gum stuck in his teeth. XD

[dareal_legendario]

People really need to stop using the fnaf 3 bad ending as evidence for golden freddy having 2 spirits. There's only 1 light people💀

[TobyOliverHenryFan]

23:04 Yes, CC is never placed into Fredbear, BUT spirits in general typically are said to haul places or objects that ment a lot them. Wether it ment some good or bad, they'll presumably go back to it and haunt/possess it.

[maxwellattacks]

In my oppinon It's Me is unrelated to Golden Freddy it appears in FNAF 1 and 2 often separately from Golden Freddy. So I always thought it either meant the kids in general telling Mike who they believe is Willam "It's us the kids you killed" or its Willam himself saying he did it

[tracychallice]

that cat is so happy holy shit

genuinely don't know if you're using him for the content or if he's using you for the brushes but I feel like he's winning

[ΑπόστολοςΛιάμης]

The green freddy in the corner in fnaf 3 is confiermed to be shadow freddy due to the files calling him "shadow freddy"
