Orgin of Slender Man| Creepy facts| Horror stories
Slender Man was made in 2009 by Eric Knudsen (who passes by Victor Surge on the web) for a challenge on the site Something Awful; explicitly, Knudsen planned Slender Man for the Create Paranormal Images string, which was calling for members to photoshop existing photos. The Slender Man began as a tall, frightening, thin, insect like consider photoshopped along with two apparently kindhearted pictures of children playing.
Knudsen’s images found their way onto 4chan and then went viral, and soon, the Slender Man started appearing in videos, photos, and even games (Minecraft’s Enderman character is said to be based on him). In short, Slender Man entered the realm of urban legend, morphing from an internet concoction into a wood-dwelling boogeyman who preys on children. Delightful!
Here’s Knudsen explaining why the story of Slender Man took off, even though the figure was clearly manufactured:
“It differs from the prior concept of the urban legend in that it is on the internet, and this both helps and harms the status of the Slender Man as one. In my personal opinion, an urban legend requires an audience ignorant of the origin of the legend. It needs unverifiable third and fourth hand (or more) accounts to perpetuate the myth. On the internet, anyone is privy to its origins as evidenced by the very public Something Awful thread. But what is funny is that despite this, it still spread.”
