[TRAILHEAD] The Tulpa Effect http://www.youtube.com/user/tulpaeffect
I'm surprised no one's stumbled across this before. It's been running for about a month now (7 videos) and it's only got a total of one subscriber. Can't really vouch for the quality either way, but it seems at least decent, so I figured I'd drop it here for you guys.

Not sure of the overall quality but its sort of refreshing

Pretty good so far. They haven't made me motion sick yet, the characters feel very real, the dialogue sounds natural. Her boyfriend seems like a bit of a douche but that might just be because he's terrified and trying to keep things secret (he's probably operating on the assumption that as long as she doesn't believe in Slenderman she's safe). They seem to be on an odd version of the slow burn, Slenderman and important details like the Tulpa effect have already been mentioned but nothing overtly supernatural happened until those two "Birthday" videos and I'm still not sure we've seen Slendy at all yet (I know, there was that figure in the most recent video, but the way it was back lit it could be a normal person, either one we've already met or a new one). Except for her boyfriend everyone still seems to think Slenderman is fictional.

I really like the heavily believable nature of this series and how it takes it's time going where it is going. I don't feel as if my time was wasted after watching what is up so far. The only problem that I have is the distortion sound in some of the episodes is pretty painful to sit through. I am looking forward to more.

The main thing I love about this series is that it feels very human to me, and not synthetic. I can totally believe that this is real shit happening.

Oh, yeah, maybe should have mentioned that there's a Twitter account (http://twitter.com/#!/tulpaeffect) considering that that's how I found them in the first place. Doesn't seem to be anything weird on the Twitter yet, but they did post yesterday.

I think a transcript will be necessary soon. I HATE phone calls for this reason.

Yeah even I missed a few words here and there I have pretty good ears. I take shit dictation though so you probably wouldn't want my attempt at a transcript.
The question though is did she see everything or was something not caught by the camera? "So I'm not going crazy" sounds like more happened to him than a beat down by the epic beard that has a Roger attached to it.
Not sure we can draw any conclusions about what happened until we hear Roger try to explain himself though.
