I saw LittleKuriboh's Concrete Giraffes, a MH parody. I missed half the jokes the first time I watched it though, and when I saw his "special thanks" to the three main Slenderman web series, I simply looked up the first one he mentioned, Marble Hornets, and it all snowballed from there.

I first heard of MH when my best friend told me about it; I don't even know how long ago. I didn't watch it though because he did a terrible job of describing what it was all about. "Some scary thing on YouTube," thought my brain. "No thanks, I think I'll pass on that."

It wasn't until February 2011 that I heard of it again, on a little-known forum in a completely unrelated corner of the internet. Reading the positive responses of the people on that forum is what got me curious enough to watch it.

I should really listen to my friend more often.

As a side-note, I discovered MH while recovering from both a painful breakup and a nasty injury.

It was exactly the kind of fiction that I needed to immerse myself in to help cope with my life at that point.

I first found it when reading up on Endermen (who were new to Minecraft at the time) and found the knowyourmeme on Slenderman. This quickly lead me to Marble Hornets and I watched all 45 entries that day. I didn't discover totheark until a couple days later.

Oh, I knew about Totheark pretty much right away, because I primarily use the Wiki to watch MH.

I just ignored him for the longest time because the vast majority of his videos were seemingly irrelevant.

I couple of my xbox friends kept saying "slenderman is right behind you" every now and then over the course of a couple months and I was like "wtf are you guys talking about" one day. Then they told me to just watch Marble Hornets and I couldn't sleep for the next couple nights.

I ended up getting into Marble Hornets even more than the people who introduced me to it were.

Merged three threads that were on the same subject.

I found it when someone posted a link on the Silent Hill Forum I'm a member of a few years back. I started watching about 5 entries in. Craziness ensued. It's been a wild ride ever since.

I was watching a Let's Play series (Shamus Young's Spoiler Warning) on Alan Wake, and one of the hosts mentioned Marble Hornets' minimalist horror from season one as a better alternative to the sometimes overwrought scare moments in that game. I was hooked by "Entry #4."

Agnol showed me the TV Tropes page on the Mythos. I actually read JAFool in its entirety before watching MH.

Thumbs up, if you read the Giantbomb post on the slenderman, and it brought you to MH. That's how I found out, I saw tobuscus on youtube originally playing "Slender" the free game. It freaked me out, and so I did "research" to find out more. It finally brought me to the Giantbomb post, and that brought me to MH, then here. . That was a great day!! lol. . love it here, I check the site all the time to see how the [SPEC] is going.

Like I said before, my stepbrother's friend told him about it, and then told me. Then I told my one friend about it, and he told his other friend about it. I just think it's so cool how it chains like that.

It makes me wonder how my stepbrother's friend heard about it, just so I could make out a full path.

I came into the series during the 7 month break between Season 1 and 2. Around August 2010.
