The Slender Man. He exists because you thought of him. Now try and not think of him.

This may or may not be related to the Slender Man mythos; Robert Wadlow, the tallest human being of all time was 8'11" when he died. The cause of death was listed as an infection from a blister on his ankle caused by a faulty brace, but his death certificate described the wound as 'a puncture or bite mark of unknown origin'. He was buried in a half-ton coffin that required 12 pallbearers to carry, which was interred within a vault of solid concrete. It was believed that Wadlow's family were concerned for the sanctity of his body after his death, and went to these lengths of security to ensure it would never be disturbed or stolen. It was rumoured that these extreme burial measures were really undertaken so that no one could see the mysterious changes that started to occur to Wadlow's body after his demise; the inexplicable lengthening and splitting of the arms, the bizarre contortion of the facial features. Perhaps the half-ton coffin and concrete vault were not to preserve the sactity of the body, but to keep something from escaping. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wadlow#Death

quote:Has anyone thought about the possibility that we are creating a tulpa? It's a thought form that is realized through the efforts of a group of people. We might be creating the Slender Man, making him real. SLENDER MAN THE MORE YOU THINK OF HIM THE MORE REAL HE BECOMES NOW TRY AND NOT THINK OF HIM Not a joke. Thought alters reality and the shadows keep moving in my peripheral vision. Now go watch Aphex Twin's 'Come To Daddy' video. Take careful note of the inhumanly tall, emaciated figure the children gather around.

quote:Transformed Man http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=239 Very few details are known about the life of Adam Rainer, but in a way, he represents an extraordinary piece of medical history. He was born in Graz, Austria in 1899, and as he grew and matured, it became evident that his stature was significantly shorter than the average man. He was classified as a dwarf, standing only 3 feet 10.5 inches (1.18 m) in 1920, his 21st year. But in his early twenties, Adam's height suddenly began to increase at an astonishing rate, and without any signs of stopping. By his 32nd birthday, his unusually short stature of under four feet was increased to an unusually tall stature of just under 7 feet 2 inches (2.18 m). This incredible sustained rate of growth– about 3.6 inches per year– exhausted his body and left him bedridden. It seems likely that the secretions from the poor chap's pituitary gland– the gland responsible for the body's growth hormones– went from a trickle to to a flood shortly after his 21st birthday. The malfunctioning organ caused his body to devote all of its resources to unchecked growth, leaving him weak and unable to stand. He lived in this unfortunate condition until he died on March 4, 1950, aged 51. At the time of his death, he was measured at 7 feet 8 inches tall (2.34 m), twice the height he been at age 21. Adam was the only person in medical history to have been classified both as a dwarf and a giant.

An observer posted:Bullshit, I find his stuff far more unnerving. Was he also the one who wrote uzumaki? Because that's just the cherry on top. I go back and read that poo poo like once a month and then I see spirals everywhere for a week. in your ears in your ears in your ears (reaches for a pair of scissors).
