The Slender Man
One of the World's scariest myths, especially to the little children. He is described as being very tall, and has unhumanly long limbs, that stretch and grab his pray. He has been said to be wearing a black suit and have no face. Another creepy part about the Slender Man is that he has been known to have things that are coming off of his back that resemble tenticals. He has numerous aspects to him that are cause for concern such as he causes memory loss, insomnia, sickness, and other terrible things. He is know to mainly attack children. I have been looking for the original orgin of this mythical monster but unfortunatly it cameup cold. A close friend of mine told me he hear the story originated in Germany as kind of a scary bed time story. The Slender man has many names and has been reported to be seen by many people across the globe. The photograph above I got from an interesting website (http://www.memeorigin.com/slender-man/) that talks about the scandle behind the photographs, it says that after the photo was taken fourteen children had vanished even though the photo was supposed to be a "fake" creepy right! A fire happened a week later in the library where the photos were, and the only evidense of the photos were stolen. It is said that urban legends such as the Slender Man become real only if we believe. But that is the case in many other myths and superstitions as well. I guess it all depends do you believe???
Hi Sydney! I love all of the fun facts here. I have never heard of the Slender Man before, it is a fascinating myth! I wonder what exactly he does? I see he may cause sickness and such and that some children have been reported missing but does he steal them all and then return them and how are the attacks carried out? It must have been frustrating to find such an interesting myth and not be able to find more information. I am tempted to do some research after reading this and see if I will have any more luck!
