I did a search and found this article on the start of this "myth". I think this article has some disturbing "evidence that there is a possibility of this.....thing being real.
got halfway through and went out of it too creepy

That Foman guy freaking hates me.

i think personally after watching all the installments so far (10) that the whole thing is a myth and nothing more. if not a project by the guy who's youtube it is. for example (i have not looked really closely.) but isnt the tall guy wearing a suit? kinda strange for some kind of monster/E.T to be wearing a suit,no?
anyway people can form their own opinions.
as for the guy who made this. he is a very good film maker. its short and to the point, it pulls you in. i bet he got an A*

Seriously? There's proof that it was a hoax started at Something Awful. It isn't even that good of a story. Someone just had some fun with some grainy black and white pictures in Photoshop and mixed G-man and Doctor Octopus together to make a cheesy backstory and decided that it'd be fun to spread it as a rumor to scare gullible idiots.
Don't believe me? Here's the original thread from Something Awful. Page 3, originally posted by Victor Surge. It's shopped. The original thread was about faking paranormal pictures with photo editing programs. Grow up.

So if I see this guy again what do you guys think I should do? Move to bel-air?

As long as you get there by riding in a taxi that has a license plate that reads "FRESH" and has a dice in the mirror.

I've just been reading the replies, and I'm quite interested.

Even if it's all fake, those few pictures in the OP were actually quite freaky.

I'm -blam!- scared now.

I'd love to see a Slender Man horror movie, but actually believing in this is ridiculous.

Here. Page 5 of the Something Awful thread, 3rd post from the bottom.

"The Slender Man as an idea was made-up off the top of my head, although the concept is based on a number of things that scare me. The name I thought up on the fly when I wrote that first bit. The asset I used for a couple of the pictures was the creepy tall guy from Phantasm, which sadly I have not seen, and the others various guys in suits. All of the things that aren't the torso and legs, like the tentacles and Slender Man's face, were painted from scratch however."

Sounds like the grinning man to me, somewhat...but creepier. The grinning man.

And my personal opinion is that when something is written it does, to a degree, become real within the psyche of the Human mind. UFOs being disc-shaped is a perfect example...

Wow, a horror movie I'd actually go see. "The Orphan" and all these other crap movies aren't worth the time to go see. They're all too obvious, you can pretty much tell "Oh yeah, she's going to look in the mirror, think she sees something, turn around, turn back, and there'll be OMG WEREWOLF IN TEH MIRROR!"

It's a tall and slender "man" in a suit that can stretch and grow tendrils from his hands. He appears mostly to children days before he abducts them.

A creepypasta with photoshopped pictures. And I didn't find it that scary. It's kind of creepy, but I'd grow some testes/ovaries and look anyway unless you're easily creeped out or can't use logically evaluate paranormal BS.
Sorry if I sounded like a jerk, but it's just a paranormal story.

Sex is a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location into a girl's destination to increase population for the next generation. Do you get my explanation, or do you need a demonstration?

I think a Slender Man horror movie would be epic :D

but then he'd have to die at the end D:

Or a sequel might be made.

No he'd kill all the good guys. Horror movies where the good guys survive suck.

The slender man can jump higher and run faster than the protagonist of the movie, who is ironically named Mario. =D
