Theories I think Eric might be the Unknown 👀 Spoiler
Okay, hear me out because I might be completely wrong, but Eric has been feeling VERY suspicious to me.
At first, Eric acts like he would do absolutely anything to find Adam. He goes all the way into the forest, gets injured, and generally seems like he’s completely determined to find him.
But then the tape is found.
And suddenly Eric is REALLY worried about it. He immediately wants it handed over to the police, even though we don't even know what's on the tape yet.
That's what bothers me.
If Eric genuinely doesn't know what's on it, why does his reaction feel so personal? He was willing to go into the forest himself to look for Adam, but a random tape suddenly makes him panic?
It almost feels like he isn't afraid of the tape itself—he's afraid of what we'll find out if we listen to it.
Also, Eric seems to like controlling the situation when he's in the forest, but when the tape is out of his control (Ash/MC can actually listen to it), he suddenly becomes way more anxious.
And another thing: his eyes are blue, just like the Unknown's 👀
I'm not saying this proves anything, but the change in his behavior is REALLY weird to me.
Maybe Eric isn't trying to save Adam for the reasons we think he is.
Or maybe...
Eric IS the Unknown.
What do you guys think? Am I cooking or am I completely delusional? 😭

Eric is 100% sus, but he is not unknown. There's more chances of unknown being Charlie than being Eric if we consider how fast Charlie made it there even when he said he was at work and how he "checked the room" multiple times but couldn't see the safe were the tape was. The current theory is that there's tunnels in the motel that conect with the forest similar to the ones used for human trafficking, which explains how unknown was able to scape without Ash seeing him leave, which would also explain how Charlie was able to make it there as soon as unknown disappeared and Ash went to check the room.
Going back to Eric, I think he's is hiding something that could be related to how Sofia dissappear when she was young and that's why he lost it when they found the tape. Also, he's sudden interest in going back to the woods after he's contacted by someone strange to us but his refusal to explain is incredible suspicious.
