God when will it end. Slender man is a lie you tricks.


Is it really? While the whole thing started in the somethingaweful forums there are many paranormal sightings where the subject see's something that looks very similar to slenderman. These have been common long before slenderman first made his appearance to the internet.

His appearance is a lot like the Grays (the most popular Alien race people claim to encounter) and is it a mear coincidence that jack skellington, the protagonist of the Nightmare Before Christmas looks strikingly similar to slender man? Jack was around much longer than slenderman? Or is it possible Tim Burton saw slenderman and created jack based off of him?

Why are there also so many sightings of him throughout history? And around the world too. Sightings of creatures similar to slenderman have happened long before the internet was created.

It is fake. However, monsters like Dracula and the Wolf-Man still captivate movie-goers' minds. Hell, the Loch Ness monster has been revealed to be a hoax.

With that, I see no reason why the Slender Man can't do the same to online users. Despite the fact that he's a hoax, his legend/myth still intrigues me. I discovered the mythos of the Slender Man last summer, and I can say that I have been scared to even go to the bathroom at night. Countless of supposed photos and videos (like the infamous Marble Hornets series) which provide evidence to his existence are floating around on the internet at this very moment. The story of this abnormal being transcends his lowly origins on the SA boards. So much so, that one day, we might go to watch a Slender Man movie in theaters or tell our children stories about him on Halloween night.

if you look through the pages on this thread, you will see that someone posted a link to the original source of Slenderman.

Still, the videos are amazingly freaky.

Now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go hide under the blankets.

I'm not afraid of slenderman anymore! He said,"W3 C4N B FR4NDZ"

My Grandfather was a Desert Ranger, my Father was a Veteran Ranger in the NCR. My father was killed by Caesar's Legion and they took my Brother. It's now my responsibility to uphold the mantle of the Rangers and avenge my Father and find my Brother.

I've noticed something! On the earlier marble hornet videos slender man had no face, and when the guy (don't know his name) goes into that house and he sees that guy on the couch he has a face! BUT when he jumps off the couch he has no face! WHAT IS GOING ON!!!???

Ok i seen the next video entry, again "slender man" has a face!
Is it really him or the guy with the mask?

We are witnessing the origins of a new urban legend. Unlike the boogieman or the Vampires we will actually know where it started.

And over the years, the origin will become distorted until only a few know where it came from. Then, those few people will be shunned for "ruining the fun." :D

>Implying I have a signature

I'll go ahead and ruin the fun, It came from a forum where a bunch of kids got bored and decided to make a mythical creature, They all submitted photo shopped pics saw who's where the best and then created/found a phony newspaper article to go along with the images, Ta Da! Slender man in a nut shell.

The videos are pretty cool though AKA: the marble hornets videos

Yes I've done my research, read all the articles, and all the extra stuff no body knows about until you go to the marble hornets blog and what not.

I can't tell the trolls from the idiots anymore. It's like the trolls have adapted; copied the idiots' DNA.

I haven't watched Marble Hornets in a long time. I just caught up. The videos were great at first, then were very boring, and now I'm really anticipating the next video.

If tank beats everything, and I beat everything with the Tank, Does that make me the most dominant power in the universe? I think so.

A stickied thread? Really?

Sigh... why do you idiots keep telling us that it's fake in every damn page of this thread. The OP should really be edited to shut these guys up.

Anyway, here's a Q&A made by the creators of Marble Hornets.

Part 1
Part 2
