Why are you looking at this?

Ugh, Slender Man? Seriously?

You people are getting creeped out over nothing. Really. All it takes is a good video editor to do something like this.

Granted, weird stuff does in fact exist in this world - but that doesn't mean all of them are true.

For instance, if I were to turn off all the lights in the house, turn on a camera, say there is something following me, then get a friend and put glow in the dark face paint on him in a creepy manner, then scream and keep pointing the camera over my shoulder to see the 'thing' coming toward me, then upload it to youtube and BAM!

My video = phenomena that will creep people out all over the world.


If you would actually read some the pages and not have jumped into a conclusion with your post, you might of realized that the people who still keep this thread active know that Slender Man is not real. Just because something is not real does not mean it still can't be fun.

What is this Slender man thing??
I honestly don't know but I am surprised that this question has obviously not been answered yet.

I have seen videos on youtube talking about a "Slender man" that seem pretty spooky. One of these is the Entry videos(watch the introduction to the right). And then i found this picture. I think the entries and this picture are pretty creepy but i have no idea what these are. Can someone help me please?


From what I know, the slender man was first seen on the internet in a contest to make creepy creatures. One man named Victor Surge showed a picture of what seemed to be a man with very long legs and arms, a black suit, and no face. The idea of the slender man spread around the internet.

Soon, a Youtube account claimed that his friend was filming a student video in 2006, but suddenly stopped after acting weirdly for a few days. He wanted to burn the video, he convinced him to give him the video. 3 years later, he found the video again and started watching them. He found rather peculiar and scary videos featuring the slender man.

Even creepier is this, a graph of the number of slender man google searches. Notice the small 4 in January of 2007, before any hype about this at all?

Ok, its over, he quit.

Theories:
- Alex may be dead
- Brian, Sarah are "gone", Tim is the only one left
- Tim may be the masked man
- The pills are making him forget everything
- Totheark is the maskedman
- Totheark = To the ARK, Alex's initials are ARK
- Tothearks videos may be leading him to Alex


Watch Tothearks videos, they have some clues in them. I really want to investigate this. And I hope he feels better. Read his twitter, hes considering boarding up his windows, he should just leave.

EDIT: In tothearks vids, operator seems to come up a lot. But what could it mean?

Watch these videos starting with introduction and watching the vids in order of the entry. It may all be faked though. Either way its creepy and there is some story behind all this. The person making these vids quit recently though.

I'm sure you guys know that Slender Man originated over at The Something Awful forums, right?

Can a mod just lock this or something? I'm tired of seeing it at the first page every week randomly.

Please, no. Not only has this thread made history in that knowyourmeme article, but some of us are still using this thread to discuss the Marble Hornets series.

And Scattershot, this isn't real. The actors aren't even going by their real names. Also, in game Jay hasn't given up just yet, read his twitter.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself, but what if I said that fear was a VERY REAL THING? There are plenty of reasons to be afraid.

Just wait for the Collector. He will make sure the objects AND the holders come together.
