Well, I scared myself **** earlier today while searching TVtropes. So now I'm curious.

Have any of you fine folk ever heard of...the Slender Man?

The slender man? Rings a bell...

*points to behind you, where an unnaturally tall, slender figure in a black suit watchs you through the window; its face is blank and featureless, while branch-like arms hang limply at its sides*

He's always watching you...

*Turns around*

Oh hey dad! Whats up?

-_- X3

Yeah, me father was a tree

If you put in red hair, you could be describing me. I'm not unnaturally tall, But I am a little over six feet.

The decription fits me well....6'4" and thin, Thats me....

Awesome. Y'all should check out Marble Hornets and EverymanHybrid on youtube. They're each a series of videos of people envountering the Slender Man.

I'm a big fan of urban legends...

Urban legends are a favorite of mine.... I know quite a few.

Another forum I go to also managed a Slender Man influenced thread today. I'm wondering if it's coincidence, or if they're both posted by the same person. >.>


Also, yes. I'm seen lots of fanart, and I watched a bit of EverymanHybrid.

What/Who is "The Slender Man?"

There is an enigmatic figure, most often seen as a tall, extremely thin man with long, strange arms and a blank, featureless face. Where he comes from and what he wants, no one knows. There are old legends around the Black Forest in Germany of a creature who would stalk children through the woods and take them. Often those taken are never found, and sometimes they are found impaled on trees, their organs removed and then replaced.

His presense is associated with powerful paranoia, and those who see him are frequently found maniacally writing strange messages and scribbling mad drawing of a dark, faceless figure.

Often a person will be looking through old videos they've shot and pictures they've taken, and noticed a strange being in them that they never noticed before. This is how it begins. The Slender Man will appear again, and again, closer and closer through his victim's life. They will hear strange things around the house, and even see him in person, though only fleetingly. There is no escape once you have attracted his attention. His presense in videos is often heralded by static and a warped image.

Also, don't look in the corner behind you.

Holy crap theres a window right behind me, litterally.. and it 10:34 at night ._.

I don't want to turn around.

I'm scared.

Hold me daddy..

The Slender Man is like The Game. If you know about him...he knows about you.

I'm 14 D:

my eyes are wattering.

*sets naylorfan90 as ignore*

...sorry for scaring you... *hangs head*

Interesting...yet creepy. o 3o

Curse my interest in Urban Legends. U: <

*grins* He's surprisingly easy to find stuff on. Just look up Marble Hornets or EverymanHybrid on youtube. They're the two biggest investigators into the Slender Man.

Aww, but that'd ruin the FUN of it all!

Parinoia and dementia are two things that I am fimilar with.... I have seen them too many times in my work....

I'm sorry if this question makes you uncomfortable Vespier, but, what do you do?

I invent many wonderous things.... Some of thost people who have worked with my father on several projects have fallen victem to intence paranoia... My fathers good friend, Edward, became so convinced that thge government was after him that he.... Well he is no longer with us.... No supernatural creaturs here... Just several sad and broken men.... May they rest easy...

Because of this thread reminding me of the slender man I kept thinking about him before bed, I was thinking I would end up with nightmares. In fact, I had amazing dreams.

Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what they were about, but I know that it was something super awesome involving ponies. Thanks Slender Man!

Obviously if you're thinking about Slender Man while going to sleep, he gifts you with happy pleasant dreams!

That's how I see what happened anyway.

Tis only a story Sonic, I was around for its creation so I should know...

This thread is for any information regarding to the SlenderMan in anyway. Every little bit of info helps for those who wish to find this...thing. Please post whatever you know in order to better inform people of the dangers that surround him.

If you've seen him, or seen any signs of him, please post here. This will be a thread for sightings and info if possible, thank you for anything you can tell of it.

The Slender Man is not real, bud. Don't worry.

Oddly enough, my friends and I just watched some Marble Hornets videos today. We were seriously considering making a mannequin to hide in a friend's house.

You can never be too sure. ;P

You guys are braver then me... although I was watching it by myself at night (technically talking to people on Skype between vids, but still)

Does anyone remember the story of when my friend played Amnesia in the dark and I hid behind him, grabbing his shoulders the moment he opened a door? I managed to squeeze the same friend's shoulder during Marble Hornets (when Tim is trying to suppress his cough). It got a similar result.

I've been looking for this guy for a long time! He's stalking my friends, but the more I research, the less that happens! Whut I do know is people around me seem to draw his symbol nonstop and don't even know whut it means...

That symbol either attracts the Slender Man, or repels him. I'm not sure which.
