I don't find this to be all that terrifying. Smile Dog was scarier, if you remember that huge thread about scary stories so long ago.

It really wasn't.

Smile Dog or Slender Man?

Anywho, I just changed my mind. I was just watching the video posted here, which wasn't at all scary. If you watch the actual "Entries" on MarbleHornet's profile, it's really quite creepy.

And I can't tell if you're making fun of me in that last bit. So what if I want a hug?

No!
Read the descriptions on the pictures

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You're not nameless anymore, Max Bragazzi!

Never was nameless, just namless.

Damn, I never noticed...
You've got me there.
[small]I will get you back for the avatar-theft eventually Jaranja.And you'll never see it coming! Mwahahaha![/small]

You can't trick Lelouch, though.

i love this mythos, it keeps me interested while consistently keeping me scared. ive been following this arg for a few months now.

My friend, who is incredibly tall, was going to dress up as Slender Man for Halloween... I'm glad he didn't. And watching Marble Hornets now... at 12:21 AM... D: Nyeeeeeh..

lmao im actually kind of glad i didnt.

on that note:
I think marble hornets is a pretty cool guy. eh gets keeps a camera on and doesnt afraid of anything
i mean...wait...

There's an arg of this?

what i meant was that the series itself as well as the story is set in an alternate reality. thats how i classify an arg.
maybe im weird.

I'm not entirely convinced that this myth is fiction. Sure the pictures and youtube vids might be; but the whole moth man, tall man, slender man thing has lots of literature behind it.

Holy shit. what if the slender man is death??

Holy shit. what if the slender man is death??

Since when did Death abduct children?
Silly.

Mind you, there have been some unusual depictions of Death with multiple limbs in some woodcuts from some time in some country, damned if I recall, possibly Germany.

But the Myth is that he appears before great tragedy.

I've actually been real lazy. I wanna go see if I can find some stuff on the Moth Man stuff; or generally related stories from before that SA thread.

That's the Mothman, not Slender Man.
You'll no doubt find Mothman info predating the SA thread; I mean, they made a movie about it for Christ's sake.

Meh, the Shadow People myth has always been the creepiest myth to me.

Shadow People are the human figures you see in your peripheral vision that watch you, but always disappear when you look in their direction.

Sleep tight.

sooper fake.

EDIT: I Can't find the Law Journal anymore. It was from or published by the University of Massachusetts; and it was about insanity pleas in supernatural cases.

Are you sure it wasn't Miskatonic University, MA?

 

[ae86gamer]

Thats creepy. Thanks for posting this though. My brother and I love this kind of stuff so I have to show him this.

Some of the photos in the foggy forest remind me of that other "paranormal images" thing I saw years ago about a man who finds an abandoned camera in a forest and develops the photos to find these strange pics with strange things in them like "bodies" in the trees and the foggy abandoned fire-watch tower.

I'll try find a link unless someone else knows what I'm talking about and has a more reliable link.

The place that doesn't exist but does? Probably.

I always do. Seen them plenty of times.

Why must I stumble upon this thread directly before going to bed?

 

[Loop Stricken]

Evidently it is the wil of Slender Man.

Or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you choose.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Woo, this Slender Man stuff is way scarier than anyhorror movie I've ever seen. Brilliantly chilling stuff

Hahaha nice reference; but I dont think so =P

Surely the slender man is simply an inspiration from the moth man and other myths.

Seriously, read that JAFool blog [http://www.jafool.wordpress.com]. Especially the comments.
Miskatonic, you say...

These things are great and entertaining and scary, but there are people who think its real. That, for me, is a bit of a problem.

It's not nice to knowingly encourage people to believe something like this.

Do love the vids though. And I now follow the twitter too.
