<p>Gregory seems to have some paranormal abilities, such as truesight (he was suspicious of the witch's shack, and Lorna from the beginning), Conjuring (he only grabs like 5 or so leaves for a blanket but he suddenly has like 20 for both he and Wirt) and he was able to travel to cloud city.  </p><p>Also, I noticed that Jason seems to be able to do complicated un-frog-like tasks such as singing in English and he seems to mirror the spirits of Greg, that combined with the woodsman's advice about naming the frog and it seems to hold water. </p><p>It could apply to Wirt as well given how they describe Jason as "Our Frog" and Jason seems to like Wirt well enough, not to mention that wit's revelation about the lantern is illustrated sith a ringing of a bell (much like the one inside of Jason). </p>

The beast is Mary Poppins

<p>So I don’t think langtree is given a first name, right? Well I’ve got a theory on what it could be: Elizabeth Alright, Elizabeth sounds like the name that someone would give her in a bad fanfic but hear me out, in lady and the tramp Jim dear’s name was Jim brown (We’ve all heard jimmy brown) in the pre-productions and darling’s (Jimmy calls langtree darling) name was Elizabeth. </p><p>Oh god I’ve looked way too deep into things </p>

<p>I wasn't exactly sure about how the Woodsman's daughter was at his house the whole time? Was he just overly concerned about the lantern, or is there more to it? </p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The beast said lost souls and keep saying lost souls of kids, the 'trees are souls', and was going to turn the kids body into another tree, but it is made of souls... To be more exactly: '</span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">lost souls of children who have wandered far from home</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">'</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;"> </span> </p><p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Does that means that the kids are actually only theirs souls and theirs bodies are still alive in the river? </span> </p><p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">So the beast is like/a demon collecting lost souls and turning them into trees, using the people that lives in here to make oil for it. </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">So the forest are all the souls of lost kids, the only way to go back to the river could be defeating the Beast, because all those trees are the ones that tried to go back home and gave up... The people living here must have forgot theirs home and decide to make the Unknown their home. Maybe the Unknown is Limbo and if someone stay in here for too long is too late to go back and they forget about the other world. </span> </p><p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">The people from the Unknown doesn't really use logic, maybe because the Beast make sure they can't think of a way to be a threat? Because no one thought about the forest and the </span><span style="font-size:17px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">Edelwood </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Roboto,arial,sans-serif,Meiryo,'MalgunGothic','MicrosoftYaHei';line-height:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;">really come from, they really don't think in a very logic way... Like </span>Auntie Whispers '<i>using the bell without trying to get the spirit out of Lorna only controlling it when she knew she could control it, Beatrice throwing a rock on a blue bird because she was angry.... '</i>Adelaide<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> actually having a windows that could be easily opened by a ble bird... You know instead of locking it. </span> </p><p>
</p><p><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">And the very suspicious Black Turtles, too many of them and the first episode.... <i>They will never make me rally trust them...</i> Because the Beast watched them from afar without being noticed.... The beast know that was going on.... The Turtles are almost on every episode, all the times the Beast showed up, but in the first episode.... Thye turtle was fully black while the Turtles that Antie Whisper eats aren't really black, nor they are fully black, like in Episode 1, 3, 4.</span> </p>

<p>Here is the Clarence theory, in the last episode of over the garden wall you see the town Wirt, Greg and others live in. You see this town again numerous times in another Cartoon Network show Clarence. So is is saying that Clarence and Wirt and Greg live in the same city. Another thing backing my theory up I just saw a video of Wirt in Greg making a cameo in Clarence it is in the episode lil buddy, Clarence is in the forest and you can see shadows of what appear to be Wirt and Greg. What do you think? </p>

<p>SPOILERS! In the end of the final episode (of season one), we are briefly shown what "The Beast" in silohuette appears as a Wendigo, but when the lantern shines on him, he looks a bit like a Elelwood trees, with faces in agony twisted. </p><p>But! when it is revealed that Greg stole the Rock, the one used for "Rock Facts", and we get a nice look at the face upon the rock; what no one appears to have mentioned, is how very similar The Beast's eyes (seen with color, this time) are to the Rock's eyes. I believe we are meant to draw a connection between the sin of stealing the rock, and the Beast, their eyes! </p><p>
</p> <figure class="article-thumb tleft show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> <p class="caption">The Beast, manifested in a pooch</p> </figcaption></figure>[Note: the eyes are only vaguely similar; I wonder if anyone will see this?]

<p>Enoch and Potsville being Judaism. (set punishment, no eternal damnation, sleeping beneath the earth,ect) </p><p>The Schoolhouse being Bhuddism. (The casting off of wealth to reach enlightenment) </p><p>I think the Tavern was supposed to be Egyptian mythology. (Predetermined roles) </p><p>Adelaide was Atheism. (Obsoloescence of the soul and usefullness of the body) </p><p>Christianity was Aunty Whisper's house. (Adeliade and Aunt Whisper are sisters, but Adelaide does the bidding of The Beast) </p><p>The Clouds was heaven, in what can only be assumed an interpretation of it designed for children. </p><p>Would the Woodsman's cottage be hell? In which the lost souls of the Edelwood trees are literally tortured/ground up to keep the flame of the lantern burning? (And would that make The Beast...Satan?...God?) </p><p>In a way,I think this series speaks to an anti-labeled version of the afterlife (and everything) that millenial culture seeks. We shrug off old ways, labels, mold and forms. This is displayed in the way that Wirt does not settle in any one particular place in The Unknown, even after being prompted to do so by his elders.  </p>
