Apparently this girl was obsessed with the character and apparently had a psychotic episode and tried to kill her mother. I hope the girl gets the help she needs, am glad the mother is ok and am no to try to comprehend what the world is coming to.

I'm kidding of course. But still, odd that people took this character so much.

"I came home one night from work and she was in the kitchen waiting for me. She was wearing a white mask, she had her hood up, and she had her hands covered with the sleeves, and the mask," the distraught mother told WLWT on June 6.

During the attack, which left the mother with minor injuries on her neck and face, she claims her daughter was not herself.

"[...] mentioned playing a role, I got the feeling she was playing a role. It didn?t feel like her."

Interestingly enough, the mother revealed that after the attack she found some very ?dark? writings and drawings her daughter had made that referenced Slender Man. She also believes her daughter built an entire world for Slender Man to live in while she was playing a video game

According to the report, the young girl has claimed that she does not remember much about the night she allegedly attacked her mother.

Well, it certainly sounds more like a Slender Man story than the last stabbing...which just makes it even creepier. Wonder what further investigation will reveal :/

Girl be cray cray?

 

[DefunctTheory]

I'm curious as to how much of this is true. There doesn't seem to be much connecting this to Slender Man, besides the fact the girl was interested.

Its sounds more like what they do with school shooting. Was there a school shooting? If so, did the shooter play video game? If so, insinuate that video games, or in this case Slender Man, did it.

Seems like this is just another depressing case of 'disturbed individual does disturbed thing because they are disturbed' to me.

Girl be cray cray indeed, friend. Girl be extraordinarily cray cray.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Again with the Slenderman? Is this just some new thing? Personally, I think Slenderman is overrated, but that's just me.

Plausible, if a bit lacking on the details. For instance, is she actually mentally unstable, are drugs (legal or otherwise) involved, does her alleged interest in the Slender Man mythos really play a part in it or was her mother simply predisposed to believe that in wake of the recent stabbing[footnote]corollary: with regards to minecraft was that really a Slender Man inspired world or was that a flawed conclusion based on the discovery of the Ender Man monster?[/footnote], did anyone else notice her acting out of character, etc...

Finally got around to watching that a few weeks ago. Absolutely awesome movie!

Does that make Eric Knudsen, Sutter Cane?

Nah. This is more like a C-grade creepypasta.

Also, this isn't how you appease Slender Man.

But seriously, what the hell is in the air?

Well, your not the first one to think of that. As I've pointed out a few times, one big conspiracy theory going around has been that the proliferation of these kinds of internet Memes/Creepypastas, found footage video movies, ghost hunting "reality" shows, and other things are part of a disinformation campaign to ensure that anything weird that is uncovered would be ignored and/or easier to cover up. Basically if I got online here and posted "OMG, weird stuff is happening, I think I'm about to die... or be replaced by a duplicate" and went into exhausting detail about insane, creepy, stuff that had been going on, would you believe it? Nope, you'd think it was a creepy pasta. Even if I put up a video and linked it, showing monsters/aliens/whatever running around you STILL wouldn't believe it. Yet despite this it's commonly argued "well, nothing weird like in a movie can happen IRL, because if it did it would be all over the internet inside of a minute".

As this has been going on, there has been some talk about Slenderman and his involvement in pop culture and so on for example, and of course there has been mention of people dressing up as the character and "photobombing" places for fun. An interesting point as it basically means that even if someone DID ever find a real pic of Slenderman it would be dismissed as a hoax because "everyone knows cosplayers do this kind of stuff" even if the photo couldn't be proved to have been shopped.

I'm not a big believer in that kind of thing, but, I'll be honest in saying I've put more thought into it recently than I have in a long time. Right now it seems like a crazy act and some copycatting for attention by a disturbed fan of the same material.

THAT said, one thing that I want to know is where this information is coming from. See, the thing that strikes me as dumbest about this whole thing is that people like to look at the incidents and say "this is not how this works" in response to killing people for Slenderman... like the people are idiots and don't even know the creature they are attempting to impress. The messed up portion of this is that the kids doing this are apparently obsessive fans, this girl here for example was apparently so "into" Slendy that she was designing virtual minecraft worlds. The two girls involved in the previous stabbing were heavily into the Creepypasta and initially said they believed the sitemaster
of their favorite site WAS Slenderman. Basically, these are the kinds of people who are going to know everything we, more casual fans, know, and probably more due to their obsession, they are not likely to "do it wrong" and instead correct other people simply because of the level they took it to before the violent acts. What we need is to know the source of this information, in the first stabbing apparently it was something they read online on a Creepypasta site apparently that gave them the details and convinced them.

There is a sort of pattern here, young girls, obsessive Slenderman fandom, stabbings to get his attention. I don't actually believe there is anything supernatural going on, but I do think there is a bit more than meets the eye. They are keeping the investigation close to their chest, but personally my first thoughts are of long distance brainwashing of the impressionable, cult behavior, and things like that. I suppose it's equally insane in it's own way, after all as a Forensics major and trained investigator I'll be the first one to tell you have rare crap like that is in real life, but my first thought is that someone is specifically finding impressionable young girls with issues online through creepypasta forums and gradually talking them into this. Wierder things have happened through letters exchanged with prison inmates and the like, with women marrying their prison pen pals on death row and everything else. The meticulous planning originally, similarity in this attack, obsessive fandom, and of course details about this faux-mythology being different than everyone else knows..... I won't be surprised if they eventually track this all down to some charismatic whack job with a computer and a talent for getting disturbed young girls to try and kill for him.

Any way it goes though, it's not that big a deal, we've dealt with crazies before, and even if this is some kind of supernatural meta-event covered by a conspiracy it's not like people are dropping like flies.

As I've mentioned before, and again in the long post I just wrote, one of the oddest things about this is that you'd expect Slendy obsessives like these girls (all of them) to know the details of the mythology. The recent one was building virtual worlds, the first two were Creepypasta regulars apparently. The big question to ask is where did they get this information, and why did they feel it "overruled" the rest of the mythology if they were taking it seriously? Find who has been putting out this alternate version, which apparently isn't prolific, and the rest will probably fall into line.

Of course I'd hope the actual investigators are competent enough to have figured this out themselves if it occurred to a former forensics student turned retired casino security officer. One of the maddening things about a properly conducted investigation is how tightly the details are kept under wraps.

If my suspicion is correct, as crazy as it is, and there is some Manson-like figure with a talent for getting Creepypasta obsessed girls from stepping off the deep end through the internet, it will be a substantial mitigating factor. The girls are apparently not well, and weren't to begin with, but this is a case where there certainly seems to be more at work... at least to me. The first case in particular was disturbing simply because of the time spent planning it, I mean 12 year olds planning something like this out for months? Something had to motivate them heavily, 12 year olds are lucky to stay focused for a few hours.

 

[gandhi the peacemake]

I'm calling shenanigans on this one. Something about the original newscast doesn't feel right. Not sure what exactly it is, but I'd be cautious about taking this story at face value.

 

[lacktheknack]

GUYS. YOU CANNOT "SACRIFICE TO SLENDERMAN".

HE DOESN'T TAKE OFFERINGS.

Seriously, it's one thing to do a creepy murder in tribute to a fictional character, but when you're doing your creepy murder in tribute to a fictional character that never has and never will request murders, that's where I'm starting to get really creeped out by the whole thing.

It's like murdering people to "appease Betty Boop". Why would you do this?

 

[Nowhere Man]

There is either some Manson level of stuff going on, or this girl thought the time was ripe to commit a copycat crime.
Either way, what worries me most is the inevitable politicizing of these events to push for more control over the internet under the guise of "think of the children!" Pretty intriguing in light of the war on net neutrality. And lets not forget the fact that there's a video game to be scapegoated too.

I'm glad no one has died from either event. I hope this doesn't get sensationalized. But sadly it will.

 

[Alexei F. Karamazov]

On a side note, a friend of mine told me today that some people on 4-Chan raised money and donated it to the parents of the two teenagers in the other Slenderman-related stabbing. Though given 4-Chan's reputation, that isn't all too surprising...

But really, in what ways does Slenderman strike a chord with the childruns these days?!?! I never heard of kids sacrificing others to El Chupacabra when I was growing up!

basically it's coming down to a recreation of The Following, correct? (that is of course if you've seen the show, or at least know its basic plot)

Honestly, a similar thought had occurred to me, but from what I read about the two incidents there doesn't seem to be a lot of overlap. First stabbing was pretty much Slender Man related only in the sense that the accused claimed it as inspiration while the act itself bore little similarity to its alleged inspiration. This new case, by contrast, is claimed to be Slender Man related by the victim rather than the accused (the latter of which, in fact, claims to remember very little about the incident) and the characterization of the assault by the victim is far more in line with Slender Man fiction. If an outside influence can be attributed to either case, it seems unlikely to me that it could be tied to the second. Of course, that's just my initial uneducated impression.

Funny... There was a Paranormal Podcast I use to listen to. There was this thing they use to talk about, that "Tropa" or something. This idea that if imagine something hard enough it would become reality. the problem was it would start benign but eventually become evil.

Just the same, the main CreepyPasta I've ever read is Squidward's Suicide and that alone I still have a hard time reading. I want to say there is something chillful about it... but I know better.

But I'm also naive enough that this shit scares the hell out of me.

An interesting theory that quite frankly, gives me the creeps.
