On May 31st, 2014, 12 year old Payton Leutner believed she was going to the park to play with her friends Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier. However, Morgan and Anissa had been planning for months to end Payton's life in order to please an online fictional horror character named Slender Man. The two girls genuinely believed Slender Man was real and that in order to keep their families alive, they would have to sacrifice their friend. Listen to hear all about this truly unbelievable case.
