What REALLY HAPPENED to SHADOW FREDDY in FNAF?

Good video man love your content

I thought you made a video about my ideas I gave you. Anyways, good content 😂

Spoilers for help wanted 2 below btw, but can't really talk about a theory this video just gave me without them so; here's the warning.







In help wanted 2 it's revealed that you are infact an employee. If shadow freddy was also an employee who worked with and wants revenge on afton for killing him; it makes you wonder if the game is setting up shadow freddys return for the next game? It would be perfect given he's been absent for a really really long time, so nobody would remember him if they brought him back; giving more reason for theories and lore speculation when newer fans find out he's been around since nearly the beginning.

Also given how shadow bonnie hasn't had any development since the AR game besides a Help wanted cameo on a cardboard cut-out (reused for security breach) and the AR game was abandoned by the devs; meaning all the lore there was remade in security breach and help wanted to not be forgotten, it would be interesting if he returned too.

Just something that's been on my mind. ^^

The theory is that Shadow Freddy is Nightmare, not Nightmare Freddy💜🖤🤔😊

Hey it is me again love this theory keep up the good work

i swear that markiplier saw once shadow bonnie/rxq in fnaf ruin on a tv screen at the very beginning, even before monty golf, the part when he saw shadow bonnie was before the elevator drops down scene

This isn't related to canon, but I did just wanna point out that Shadow Bonnie technically has a huge role in the Popgoes fangame.

Shadow bonnie could be in glamrock body and shadow Freddy could be in the mimic maybe.

The Shadow’s are my favourite FNaF Characters💜

I mean I love burn trap glitched trap the mimic and vanny and William wich was before now he’s gone and vanny is free I think and burn trap doesn’t exist right or no and I think glitch trap is still here idk and now the mimic and the shadows idk about them tho

If he is related to nightmare (not nightmare Freddy), nightmares linked to nightmarion. Maybe that's their new form, or shadow Bonnie's.

Shadow Freddy Works At MC Donalds, He Needed Money.

I liked your theory, but sadly, there's a big hole in it. See, a long time ago, Scott said that William was the only one who had ever been in a springlock failure in the game continuity.
Also, I think you should try looking at Nightmare's voice line in a different way. You see, you're interpreting it as, it means nightmare is the physical manifestation of William's wickedness. but what if it just means nightmare/shadow Freddy was created by something wicked William did.

It can be Evan also
😊

I used to be sick of seeing people overrating Shadow Bonnie compared to Shadow Freddy, at least now someone's doing the opposite

it hink shadow freddy is c.c afton

shadowbonnie was actually inspired by oe of scott cawthons actual dreams

I think shadow freddy and shadow bonny are figment of his imagination

He never existed. He was just "a shadow in the mind of a child" as Scott said.

The animatronics saw afton in the fnaf 3 minigame as shadow freddy

Henry's statement in the insanity ending of pizzeria simulator points to shadow freddy being an illusion generated for Afton's own purpose, 'He lured them back to a familiar place again, he tricked them again, he overpowered them again. He took from them the only thing they had, AGAIN.' this implies in no uncertain terms that shadow Freddy was the trick William Afton used to lure the spirits in fnaf 3 and what's worse is that it means it could have been pre-fusion lefty. Lefty had mimicry capabilities built in from security signals to music so it should easily have been capable of mimicking a voice to capture the attention of the 4 spirits so Afton could search for the puppet after destroying their bodies. The puppet is captured and fused by lefty/shadow Freddy disrupting the happiest day as implied by said minigame and the fact that the puppets mask is not part of either ending image in Fnaf 3, hence how the final fnaf 3, night end mini game DOESN'T feature shadow Freddy in any capacity, he's achieved his intended purpose. Setting up for Afton's downfall and pizzeria simulator in one fell swoop.

This is very true ever since the new security breach game Everybody forgot about the og classics and I think that that the shadows were prototypes of 1970 carnival before Fred bears

I think Shadow Freddy is more forgotten than Shadow Bonnie

I have a huge theory on the shadow animatronics that is based off your theory and the Golden Freddy theory. So, first of all, we know that Golden Freddy is Cassidy and some people think it's both Cassidy and Evan, the Crying Child. What if remnant not only keeps your soul contained, but if there is more than one soul, it separates the object into an apparition, which explains why Shadow Freddy doesn't attack you in any FNAF games. Shadow Freddy is the Crying Child and he is only half of Golden Freddy's whole self. But...what does The Crying Child have to so with Golden Freddy? Golden Freddy is a withered Fredbear, and Fredbear bit evan's head (The Bite of 83) and killed Evan. I think when 2 souls get trapped into 1 object, the remnant not only combines the souls, but also gives the object a shadowy version, aka, "Dark Remnant". I think Dark Remnant is made when the remnant of an object seperates and splits. This explains why Golden Freddy says "It's Me". Sure, it could be a random easter egg talking to us..but remember, Mike Afton is the security guard for most of FNAF, so when Golden Freddy says "It's Me" Is it Evan or Cassidy? Well, obviously Evan. Shadow Freddy is a Dark Remnant variant of Golden Freddy. But what does this have to so with William you ask? Well, hopefully this doesn't seem complicated: William is the source of the remnant and dark remnant, right? We also know his alter ego is "Purple Guy" and I think this also has something to do with Shadow Freddy. THEIR BOTH PURPLE 😂😂😂😂😂 So, maybe when you create the remnant, it splits your soul like a Harry Potter horcrux, explaining why William "always comes back". So a fragment of william's soul is in Shadow Freddy. I think, since Shadow Freddy is Evan, Evan is fulfilling his dad's wishes. And that's the source of William's soul. The agony, or Dark Remnant, created by Will controls his Son. What evidence to support this ginormous theory half of this comment section probably wants to ignore? Well, Shadow Freddy leads the other animatronics to their demise. Why would he? Well, William's soul is controlling Evan into doing this. Now that I explained this, what about Cassidy? I said he is half of Golden Freddy, so what's his role? Think of Golden Freddy split in half, William's torment and agony, and DARK REMNANT, and the other side his control over it. Shadow Freddy being the control, and G-Freddy being the torment. Almost like how William conttolled Evan as a son and tormented Cassidy. Cassidy has to torment William and Evan must obey. So to summarize this, Golden Freddy and Shadow Freddy are the same thing split in half, Evan obeying William's command as William's soul controls Evan's dark remnant is Shadow Freddy, and Golden Freddy is Cassidy, trying to torment and agonize William. If this theory is wrong, then Shadow Bonnie could be the ghost of William before he learned to control his corpse mentally, explaining why Spring Bonnie showed up before Spring trap.

Edit: if you read this whole thing, your goated 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊😁😁😁🎁🎁🎁💝💝💝

i Didn’t forget about the shadow animatronics

Love how he shows a fan made appearance in fnaf 2 and also he says "nightmare" and uses nightmare freddy.

My theory that I am soon going to turn into a video suggests that evan posses shadow freddy and if it makes sense it could also explain midnight motorist

Oh my god, I just remembered the voice clips were from David Near. I used to binge those videos as a kid.

the welsh accent is real 🔥🔥

interesting theory keep up the good work maybe you'll be as famous as matpat

fnaf gacha fans: “Shadow freddy is Evan/c.c!”

Fnaf security breach show fans: “he’s normal freddy but darker form”

If shadow Freddy & shadow bonnie are springlock victims what about the other shadows?
Shadow mangle, shadow puppet, shadow balloon boy & shadow DeeDee.
shadow puppet and shadow balloon boy are from the fnaf 3 minigames. Shadow mangle is from help wanted.

I’m late to this but I heard shadow Bonnie may be a glitch trap tho it’s just a theory just wanted to point that out

Here is my theroy of both shadow freddy and bonnie (and your not going to like it) so shadow freddy and shadow bonnie can't kill you there are other animatronices that can't kill you the phantomes,so my theroy is that the shadows are just hlusinations of toy bonnie and golden freddy.

Purple was actually used because black blends in a little too well in the background.

WAIT SHADOW FREDDY MIGHT BE NIGHTMARE

There are lots of theories surrounding it, we need to first identify the enigma duo. The most popular theory by far are that both are made of manifestation but...
Shadow Freddy and RWQFS are not manifestations of agony, its more than that. Both entities are hard to understand but are important key into understand fnaf religion. Shadow Freddy is the symbolism of William victims and all the death incidents within the Fazbear Entertainment, while RWQFS on the other hand is the symbolism of remnant and agony of the missing spirits and souls. Shadow Freddy can be identified as the death itself, before the fnaf 4 was retconned to not be the final end it was clear that Scott had a different lore in mind related with Shadow Freddy and that was him being death that slowly reaches the crying child each game.. starting with fnaf 1 to 4. But once that idea was retconned Shadow Freddy stopped making any appearance.

Edit1: I am probably late.

Who thinks shadow Fredy is edgy/ emo

i saw shadow freddy turn in golden freddy

"I am your wickedness made of flesh, I am here to claim what is left of you ". That hits hard ngl

David Near in the intro voices Shadow Freddy as a fan made voice line.

Didn't shadow Bonnie had a Easter egg in the ruins DLC? I rarely hear anyone talk about it so I assumed that Easter egg to be a fake for awhile but it also was in Markipliers let's play and I don't know he doesn't seem to be the kind if guy who would fake stuff like that

Could he be razzbowski?

I think, and hear me out, they are the employees who got springlocked.

Shadow bonnie is in ruin it's just rare to be seen

Couldn’t they be results of agony building up over time after the first murders?
