Today it’s unlikely that anyone will be surprised by the question: “Who is Slenderman?” Many people know that this is an Internet meme spread around the world, which was originally born thanks to the collective mind of the Something Awful forum participants. The members of this Internet resource were inventing various supernatural images (mutants, ghosts, aliens, demons, etc.) and stories about their appearance. For the first time, the story of Slenderman was invented by Victor Surge. The story was about the events that occurred in 1983 in the town of Sterling City. 14 children disappeared, and after them several adults, all of whom were photographers. The kidnapper was a mysterious stranger - a thin man who could not be seen with the naked eye. However, some photographers managed to capture it with a photo lens. Therefore, they also became his victims.
Victor Serge began to upload photos of Slenderman, which allegedly were taken by kidnapped photographers. Fans of horror stories really liked this story, and more and more new stories about the adventures of a skinny man began to appear on the forum, as well as new photos with notes where imaginative people among tree branches or flocks of birds could find the silhouette of an unfortunate person. Millions of children hungry for adventure soon became his admirers. They often wondered: “But still, who is Slenderman, a fictional person and a real person?” However, no one knew the exact answer, and many simply wanted to believe in its existence, and they shared their “real” stories about meeting this mysterious creature.

Why is Slenderman abducting children?

The authors either could not come up with explanations for the tricks of their hero, or they wish to give his image more mystery. Nevertheless, on the Internet you can find many stories invented by children who claim that they had a chance to communicate with this person, and they respond very positively about him. There are other, the most bloodthirsty reports that indicate that the corpses of victims of a thin man were found planted on the very tops of trees.
