Assessment Number: 19-9300-24857a Status: Eyes Only Subject: S-MAN At 0440 on February 22, [REDACTED] gas station in [REDACTED], Pennsylvania activated a silent alarm indicating a robbery in progress to the local police. Officers D[REDACTED] M[REDACTED] and P[REDACTED] H[REDACTED] arrived on the scene at 0453. D M and P H did not see the perpetrator nor the proprietor from the lot. A procedural search of the premises did not turn up anyone. There was no evidence of a struggle. The register was intact. The safe was not touched. Surveillance video was mostly static. Whether this was due to faulty equipment, poor procedures, or "other interference" they were not able to determine. Attached are the only two frames that were recovered. We have obtained the original tapes and are performing our own recovery efforts. See project L-4809334. Note that the attendant L[REDACTED] C[REDACTED] is still missing, presumed dead.

What about sticking your head under the covers and squeezing your eyes shut?

I have this coffee table book of photos from Life magazine. The pictures go back to the late 1800s.

Imagine my surprise when I took a closer look at this photo of Yosemite Valley from the 1870s.

Going with a wikipedia page up-front was probably a lot of fun... but not a good idea.

The right thing to do is establish web resources about the Slender Man first - conspiracy-theory web pages, etc. Then, after there's some cross-pollination and even interest from people outside SA, create a stub Wiki page that just links a source or two, and treats the subject from a skeptical/fact-based standpoint (use words like "myth", "alleged", and "conspiracy theory").

A page like that, that purports only to report on a fringe myth, would have been more likely to survive. An editing history with a lot of different editors, over a long period of time (rather than a goon rush), with multiple references added and removed and edited over time, would have made the page less likely to be deleted.

Now, of course, that's closed off; even if we did all of this, the history of the original page's creation and fast deletion as vandalism will serve as evidence against any future incarnation of the page.

...which is OK. I'm thinking we (me?) register slenderman.org, work on it (make it the typical disorganized, slightly unbalanced ranting style typical of the genre - just take a look at websites promoting HHO, 911 Truthers, crop circles, etc. for ideas), and then gradually over time add a selection of stuff from this thread, sticking to the top-quality examples (probably not the supposed secret texts from agencies we've never heard of - don't require someone to believe in an additional conspiracy theory just to accept this one, as that is an implausibility-multiplier). You could even address the subject from a skeptical-believer point of view, showing "obvious forgeries and fakes" on one page and "unable to discount" stuff on another, etc.

Do it very low-key for a while (a year or more) and eventually it'll creep into the 'net's culture, and even have a chance to attract the attention of lazy reporters who don't fact-check stuff.

This.

This is like work, but would be supremely awesome if carried out.

The birth of an urban legend...

I agree. I also KNOW it'll work. Google "shadow men" and "shadow beings". Hell, some "shadow men" pictures and drawings are obviously not "shadow men" but the Slender Man.

Even John Dies at the End might be considered Slender Man ~~fiction~~commentary.

From a grimoire of sorts I picked up at a used book store.

Called The Observations and written by someone calling himself Nathaniel V. I don't know if that is a letter "v" or a roman numeral 5.

This part reminded me of the "slender man".

On the Expressions of Those Outside

I have mentioned the Outside and the Things that swarm around our fragile existence, paying us little mind.
I have mentioned that some men, fools above all, seek to calculate the angles and formul� needed to make themselves known.

What of a success?

If such a fool were able to peer into these impossible places, and maintain his sanity, what would he gain?

He would likely gain nothing yet lose everything.

A mere brush of the cheek from an Outside Thing would consume fleshform and mindform, birthing an abomination of alien countenance and wisdom.

A direct stare would obliterate such a man completely, adding his essence to the Outside and dispersing him across time-space.

We do not care about such a destruction. It is for the best to remove such foolish men from reality.

What of the Changed? The Transformed?

Would a man be turned from good to evil? No. These terms are labels for human behavior. Do we consider a lion evil for catching its prey even if that prey be men?

No. We hold a different set of expectations and morals to an animal as we must hold a different set to a Transformed.

Such a Transformed man would exist among us but no longer of us. His appearance may be human or merely human-like, but his thought forms are unintelligible.

The tall man with shadowed face who bumps into you at market, the laughing child who points at you when you pass, the whispering woman who sparks your interest but disappears before you even catch her name.

But these are human, yes? Perhaps.

What of the liquid darkness that pools itself in dim corners and gives itself weight, observing you with pale eyes and glimmering teeth, transfixing you as a cobra, reaching slowly from behind with tentacles of frigid ethereal mass?

What of the reflection in the mirror that lags behind or the movement seen on one side but not the other?

What of nightmares that plague even the magician versed in such things?

A wise magician would avoid such a Transformed man when possible.

If a magician must face a Transformed man, all logic, honor, and fairness must be tossed aside. The Transformed does not follow any rules that can be known by men.

To decipher them is to risk becoming one of them.
