    Slender Man was invented on Something Awful.

    It convinced a couple of middle school girls to stab another middle school girl. That’s scary enough for me.

      If it wasn’t Slenderman it would be something else. Geyser believed she was speaking with several fictional characters, from Slenderman to Severus Snape.

      How disconnected a human mind can become from reality is the truly scary thing.
