You're alone walking through the woods, your flashlight illuminating a small portion of the ground, nothing but the sound of dry grass crunching beneath your feet. You keep looking over your shoulder, you need to sneak up on him, not the other way around. So, you continue your search for him, he's demonically tall, has tentacle-like arms, dressed all in black and faceless. You're searching for Slenderman. But everyone knows that he's nothing but a figment of imagination, right? Well for two tweens in Wisconsin it as a reality, and if they killed their best friend, they too would be able to go live with him in his "Slender mansion." So, sit back get cozy and join us well we discuss this horrifying case. Sources:
