[TRAILHEAD] HandPrints

I have been talking to the creator of this (bonus points for whoever can figure out who it is), and he says it is a miniseries connected to one of his past creations. He says it will be around 10 episodes long.

https://www.youtube.com/user/handprintsofthedead/videos

A detective has been tasked with viewing and investigating footage of an incident involving our tall friend. However, he cannot see him (no explanation for that yet), but he is uploading the files.

The files, however, are numbered wrong, uploaded out of order, and even bits of footage in one file belong to another video. Basically, this is the ultimate mini-puzzle. Not only does the puzzle factor have appeal, the editing is done very well too, and the question of what is actually happening remains. Definitely cool so far.

Entry #8 is wicked creepy. That's enough for me. I subscribed.

Beat me to it!

This has got me intrigued. I find it interesting the detective doesn't see Slender Man in the videos, which makes it extra creepy (why can we, the viewers, see him? Are we totally screwed too?) This should be fun...

I just watched the videos and it appears as though they can see Him, they mention in 1 that the footage shows someone else in the house and it looked like slendy to me.

So they could see him in 1 video, but not another?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Uh, what I could make out from the shooting scene reminded me of 1 of the few Tribe Twelve videos that I've watched, but that could just be a coincidence, because I'm sure other people have tried shooting Slenderman, & my memory isn't very good in the first place.


Either way, I like the idea, it's like Season 1 of Marble Hornets, only shorter. Only criticism is that I hope later installments are higher on the creep & lighter on the distortion that makes my eyes bleed.

I really like the idea of a miniseries. I'm not sure if anyone's done something so short before, but I think it's refreshing. This is pretty cool so far.

I think that the thing seen in "1" is not slenderman. It moves too human-like, plus the description (which, as I mentioned, may belong to another entry), is this :

"File 1: Third to last file on camera.
Screen is cracked after a fall occurs in the hallway.
Distortion is prevalent throughout rest of files.

The boy is alone in the house.

Body was never found."

So either he is uploading out of order, and this was the third to last file on the camera, or it is misplaced.

From :59 of 1.

This frozen frame is the only proof we have that someone, or something was in there with the boy.


They state that they can see the monster (whatever it is), guys... The description may say the boy was alone in the house but the actual text in the video seems to contradict that idea.

Ah, I see that now. I wonder if the contradiction is a typo or on purpose?

8 has another obvious Slenderman appearance, yet it says that nobody else was in the hall.

Like I mentioned, I don't think what was in the first video was slenderman. Therefore, it is neither a typo or contradiction.

Aw poor guy :/ Of course, this is not the end of the series (though it may be the last "file,"), and again, the description does not match up.

And the description:

File:5
Heavy distortion, can't even see what's going on. I'm not sure why I'm uploading this one. It's getting late. I sifted through hours of footage and still nothing. No clue, no motif. I'm thinking it might be in his head. Imagining things, he's the sort that would read scary internet stories and watch horror movies. Maybe he went a little off, something in his brain decided to not workkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkwhereismyskin ithurts so much whereismy skin the bloooodisconsumingmysight ittookmyskinhelppppppppppppppppppppppppp­pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppwor­k. I don't know. Frankly I'm exhausted, so I'll be going to bed and continuing the remaining 7 next week or so.


what the hell?

Well that looked a bit like the Rake in the last video...
That one g ave me te worst headache it looked like when someone uses a camcorder to record a part of a TV show they like and put it on youtube. Strange.
