I've had a few giant paranoia moments, oh man.

I was with some of my friends at this park near my house a month or two ago and I was already thinking like, "hahah, park with trees at night DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING".

Anyway, we assumed we were alone at the park since it was a bit late and all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye, I see this looong skinny pair of black legs just strolling by us. I FROZE and my heart skipped a beat and everything.

Tuuurns out it was some skinny girl in black jeans who we'd just interrupted making out with her boyfriend. It's pretty hilarious in hindsight but I was still like "FFFF" at the time, haha.

Other than that, just standard paranoia and being overly creeped out by audio distortion of any kind, ahaha. I feel kind of bad for showing this stuff to my friend who lives out in the country surrounded by forest pfff.

Slender Man: Now with 13% more ironic beard. D:

Oh boy, do I have a fun story. I made this account specifically for this post, so here goes... I've been up for over 36 hours, so forgive me if my writing isn't exactly the clearest. I'll try to clarify things later if needed.

I started watching Marble Hornets sometime around April or May of this year. I'd heard Slender Man mentioned in passing by someone at school, and when I read a forum post that mentioned him, I decided it was time to figure out what it was all about. So one Friday night I sat down and looked through the original SomethingAwful thread in which he was created, then various YouTube videos, and finally the entire Marble Hornets series up to that point. It was a long night. I didn't sleep a whole lot.

A couple months later it was a nice summer evening, and I was hanging out with my friends. I was telling a couple of them about SM and MH, trying to explain them and whatnot. I was really getting into it. Later on we split, and I started to walk home. This is where the creepiness starts.

Walking down the sidewalk just ahead of me, I could see someone walking in light-colored pants and a dark jacket with his hands in its pockets, which was how I was dressed. It had gotten dark by that time, and he was far enough away where I couldn't see the details, but I could still tell the colors/style of clothing. At first I thought he was walking towards me, and then I realized he was walking in the same direction I was.

Now, when I walk, I tend to drift from side to side instead of just going in a straight line. It's just something about the way I walk. I was watching the person in front very closely, and I noticed that as I drifted to one side of the sidewalk, he drifted to the other side the same amount. This wasn't just him looking like he was moving relative to my position -- I could see where he was in relation to center of the sidewalk, and it was always the opposite of my position. After a while it got less noticeable, but it still chilled me.

Now to get to my apartment, I could keep going down the street I was on and turn left after a while, or turn left earlier and then go down an parallel back road with no lighting that runs alongside a soccer field. I'd originally intended on going down this back road to enjoy the dark, but then I saw the person in front of me go down that road. Now from where that road connects with the one I'm on, there's only one way you can go, and that's toward my apartment. I was a little freaked to see him go that way, and when I drew up to the little road that leads to the back road, I stopped to look into the darkness. At the time I could have sworn I saw him standing by the fence, moving in perfect time with my movements -- the next day I concluded it could have been a sign sitting back there messing with my eyes in the dark, but I'm still not sure. It doesn't exactly explain everything that happened before that.

Needless to say, I stuck to the main street with street lights and traffic and all that. Now, up until this point, it's just a story about an incredibly creepy doppleganger-like experience that just happened to occur the same night as I went into describing Slender Man/Marble Hornets to people. This is where the shit hits the fan.

I turned to go to my apartment, and by a separate building I had to go past, there was a person standing against the backdrop of a streetlight so that all I could see was a black mass. He was just sort of swaying from side to side, standing there for apparently no reason. I thought something looked odd, and that's when I noticed that his arms tapered down to a point and were dragging along the ground.

I kept walking, only because I wanted to appear natural. In actuality, I was trying hard not to scream. I never took my eyes off of him, and as he turned to go inside I saw with relief that it was just a regular looking guy holding a lanyard w/keys.

It wasn't until the next morning that I realized something. He was only holding one lanyard. What was the deal with his other arm? And it certainly didn't explain his odd behavior, or the person who had been walking in front of me the whole walk back.

You know how you can kind of hear when an electronic appliance is turned on, like a TV? I got that in the middle of writing this. It's gone now, but I'm still a little unnerved, seeing as how I'm the only one awake in my apartment right now. Could just be the sleep deprivation, which I'm going to go remedy right now.

He'll have to conform to my fist.

Emerald, hopefully sleep will cure that! Sounds pretty creepy, though... always be careful along the dark roads, man!

As for swaying dude, could be a drunk person who was fishing for something in their pocket. That's creepy, though!

I just joined choir at my school and got a tux for the performances which I hung up on my door. Woke up after having a slenderdream and saw the tux and, I was groggy, so I thought it was da slenderman. It was nuts.

I like Emerald joined specifically to post in here. Plus I've been lurking and I feel that's too much of a Slenderman tactic.

My friend told me about Marble Hornets a couple months ago and I've been hooked on it ever since. Of course he had to show me the series at night leading to slendnoria. But I was glad he did due to how captivating it is.

Well ever since after watching those videos I noticed that my bed began to rumble each night. I was not sure why as I was completely still attempting to sleep. This would continue to go on night after night. Some worse than others. I eventually told a friend about it and we figured out - it is not Slender Man performing all this. It is the fact I might have Restless Leg Syndrome.

Also ever since watching MH, I have been leaving my door cracked. To me - this is to watch for potential intruders. Either it being Slendy or Masky. I know this will do me no good when it comes to protection but I at least would like to see them enter and go from there.

In addition to all this, I live in a nice but quiet neighborhood. Each house including mine has A LOT of wooded areas. I mean enough to camp out and attempt to bring back transcendentalism. I cannot look through my window without freaking myself out. I see a tree. I think Slenderman is behind it. The same applies at night - which is worse than day time.

All in all, Slender man is an ***hole.

[EmeraldFerret]

Completely true story, though it's funny that you should mention creepypasta because I noticed as I was finishing the post up that it had taken that kind of tone.

I haven't had any experiences with my apparent doppleganger or people who look like Slendy since then, which I suppose is a good thing. Even if that night was just a string of coincidences, they were scary ass coincidences. xD

I am currently at my parent's house for the Thanksgiving weekend. When I lived here as a teen I was completely spoiled, instead of having a room in the main house I had my own building. Where the main house is free of trees for 50 feet in each direction, my building is in the middle of the "forest" (living in the middle of nowhere... it's fun). There is one tree by my front porch that looks like it has tentacles coming out of it, pine trees don't have tentacles. Therefore, I run like an SOB every night when I go outside to go to bed.
