As I was scrolling through my Facebook wall, I found a post by my senior which was rather interesting.
The caption of this picture was "SLENDERMANNNNN" and as you can see, this mannequin here has similar features of Slenderman itself! This intrigued me for a moment, and I remembered the first time I ever encountered with the game, "Slender".
Slender Man was first mentioned in Something Awful Forum's "Create Paranormal Images", with general features such as wearing a black suit, having a black/red tie, with a white shirt and has no face. He is depicted being around 6 to 15 feet tall ! That's very..tall.
As depicted in games and other media, he is seen to be stalking and mentally torturing his victims slowly. The sight of him provokes fear in people due to his towering height over an adult, which reminds one of the childhood fear of being towered over by other adults.
And all these were depicted in the "Slender" game itself, like the monitor screen being blurred out by electrostatic waves (or whatever it is called) and the horror of being "turned around" by the Slenderman himself.
Frankly, it was so eerie and creepy that I quitted playing at first after the first 30 seconds of the game. Yes, you can call me chicken-hearted or noob or whatever, but at least I tried, right? :P
And now, I have a question to ask you guys (please do comment about it on my post) : How did you get to know about Slenderman, and what is your impression of him?
