The following is a theory that I created based on various Venturiantale videos. If you disagree, sorry. Find a different fanfic.

Gregory and Jimmy Casket were twins and were practically inseparable. They lived with their mother and father in a large house in a quiet town in New Jersey. The twins were about seven when Cardboard Friend appeared in their attic. He seemed friendly enough but Gregory started to notice that something was wrong with Jimmy.

Out of the two Jimmy spent the most time in the attic with the strange creature. After a little while he began to act strange. He would come home with strange red stains on his shirt, or his parents would find knives stashed in his room.

Gregory also started to act strange, but in a different way.
Gregory developed a harsh temper. Often getting mad at the smallest things. The inseparable pair became separated and bitter with each other.

Then one night, everything came crashing down. The family had been having dinner when Jimmy suddenly attacked their father. It all went so fast that before Gregory or his mother could react Jimmy had stabbed his father in the heart and his father had pushed him back into the counter where he hit his head and lay dying in a pool of his own blood.

At the sight of his dying brother Gregory ran out of the house and into the surrounding woods. His mother called the police but they didn't find him for another month.

They found him in a abandoned house, practically starving to death, and talking about something named Cardboard Friend.

He was taken to a mental institution where he was kept for over a year. When he was released he had no memory whatsoever. He didn't even know his own name.

The doctors told his mother it would be for the best. They also suggested moving away. So Gregory, now going by the name Johnathan, packed their things and moved to a city by the name of Little Butts, North Carolina. His mother even went back to using her maiden name, Ghost.

Until Johnny reached middle school everything was fine. Then one day, while walking home from school with his friend Johnny Toast, they came across two strange ghosts in an alley. Ghost, having a fascination in the paranormal, approached them carefully.

The first was a boy, about seven years old, with dark hair and blood red eyes. He had a psychotic smile on his face. The second was a person comprised of cardboard boxes. Somewhere within his mind, Ghost recognized them, but he didn't know how.

The two ghosts seemed to be talking silently to each other. The conversation ended with the box ghost (Danny Phantom anyone?) disappearing and the boy running at Ghost.

After that, Ghost went missing for several days. His mother and best friend searched for him, agreeing not to tell anyone what had happened, instead claiming he had just run off on the way home from school. It didn't take long for the murders to make the news. Stories of a killer named Jimmy Casket popped up all over town.

Ms. Ghost knew that no one would know that her son had a connection to it, but the return of that name sent her into a depressed state. She explained briefly to Johnny Toast who Jimmy was and informed him of Ghost's real name.

When Ghost was found he had no memory of the previous event. He was sent into therapy and put on medication for both ADHD and what appeared to be severe anger issues, which in truth was left over from Cardboard Friend playing with his mind.

Everyone thought that was the end of it. But his mother and best friend knew that it was far from being over. It was just the beginning.
