It sounds like you're trying to come up with stuff that wasn't even in the episode, or maybe trying to refute what actually happened in the episode. Not sure where you're coming from.

How so? The episode had the stabbings, the handholdings, and always the supposition that a person did the stabbing (rather than the putative floating space ghost you came up with). It's merely a question of which person.

That the murders would be different is an odd supposition. Twice Scotty had the opportunity, and brought up the odd amnesia only when pressed. Once Scotty had the opportunity but denied the amnesia - yet other people now had the opportunity too and didn't deny the amnesia. The method seems to remain pronouncedly consistent, down to the use of one and the same knife, even. Why presume variation when none is indicated?

Hengist was resurrected to be the voice of Piglet in Winnie the Pooh.

Any unsolved murders in the 100 Acre Wood?

I still think you're overthinking it but this is a message board and that's what we do on message boards. When Scotty claims that there was some "force" in his way, I take him at his word. I can only comment on what actually happened in the episode. Seems kind of pointless to read between the lines when we will never know one way or the other.

That force, rather than a physical presence, could have been Redjac projecting a psychic barrier to make people surrounding it keep their place, thinking that approaching it would be impossible. Redjac is a psychic entity, potentially feeding on the negative emotion of fear in others. It has no need for physical force in its own form, just the ability to keep others at bay. A psychic wall would suffice. And if it can manifest such a wall while terrorizing and killing its victims, so much the better, as they are then isolated and without protection.

 

[Timo]

I wonder what the screaming bit is all about... Some of these victims are stabbed in the back - hardly a terror-inspiring experience for them. Perhaps the creature has other ways of inducing terror, ways that don't consume more of its resources than what it gains from the exercise? Perhaps the "stench field" is a more essential part of the feeding process than the knife and the killing?

Anyone remember Redjac's reappearance in the DC comics? That was while they had the TOS movie era crew using the U.S.S. Excelsior temporarily. Good story.
