Creepist thing that's ever happened to you. : Othor Games

I got some more questions about those slenderman videos, what happens in them? and how exactly is it creepy?

Like said above its basically Blair witch.It was made for some ARG based around him. Also watch tothearks videos. They are responses to the entries that were made for it.

To tell you anything about them would be to ruin the effect. The best way to experience them is to go in completely blind (i.e., having no idea what's going on). Trust me on this one. That's how I did it, and I can guarantee you they wouldn't have been nearly as creepy if I'd gone and spoiled them for myself.

Speaking of, http://www.youtube.com/user/MarbleHornets See for yourself- just be sure to watch them in order.

Hmm.... on a scale form 1 to 10,(10 being scary) how scary is it? I don't wanna watch these then have to sleep with a light on.(lol)

It varies from episode to episode. In general, I'm inclined to agree with the '7' rating.
Again, though, to me Ep. 19 was pure grade-A Nightmare Fuel.

I don't know about this.... I'll watch episode 1.

EDIT: NO! I can't do it!..... :cryvaultboy:

I want to look it up on Wikipedia...but there will most likely be things there I don't want to see before I go to sleep a bit to late and have to get up for a driving lesson tomorrow...but I'm so curious! How about a quick summary in spoiler tags?

Episode 1 is nothing.

Watch the first one and you will see and watch the last one too. Glad Alex is ok.

Alive. Alex is alive. I wouldn't be so sure about 'ok'.

Was it high octane? I'm scared of Lavender Town now after listening to the red/blue theme...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_411G29lfy4

I watched episode one, not really creepy but pretty cool. Should we make a slenderman thread?

So...is Slenderman some weird and creepy video series some guy made, or is this just someone filming some seriously freaky [censored] they can't explain. Or is it some guy dressing up and messing with people, what is it?

Probably a good idea, yeah

Slenderman is an urban legend - a monster in the same vein as the yeti and bigfoot. The marble hornets videos are a series of films of someone trying to find out what happened to his friend, who, it turns out, had been stalked by slenderman.

Its made up, obviously.

Oh yes. Ohhhhh yes. :c

Partly because I was totally not expecting it, and partly because my bed has a window over it too. In almost the exact same position. My wall's not so spartan, though; it's all covered in posters 'n' stuff. Still.
Meep. ;3;

Spoiler

Of course Masky would have to trample over all the books on the floor to get to me. And the clothing. And the cat. >.>

The white hand on your shoulder, it's only your imagination.

Well yeah, of course. But what is going on in these videos? Just some thin faceless guy standing around waiting for the bus or something?

It's an ARG (alternate reality game)- a story, in essence, contributed to by many different people all over the internet, and dressed up so that it seems 'real'.
Fun stuff. :3
It began on a Something Awful imageboard, if I recall correctly.

He usually appears in the backgrounds of the videos, unnoticed by the characters. When they do notice, running and screaming ensues.

About 12 years ago a few of my cousins and I started a group called the Skeptics. We researched old ghost stories and multiple murder sites and found the locations they took place. We would do tons of research and try to plan on the best time to visit. Typically it was a two or three day trip. We went to places like the badlands at Aza berango that stretch out to mexico, abandoned buildings and closed mental hospitals. We videotaped everything... We only did this for about two years until other things took us away form our hobby.

Apart from seeing and hearing odd things, over all it was actually fairly disappointing. The trips were fun and the exploring was awesome but overall not what we set out for. Then again we did call ourselves the skeptics. I guess we kinda set ourselves up for that one.

That's why I just can't understand things from a 100% skeptic point of view. For someone to say uh-uh, no way, it is impossible, these witnesses are either lying or mistaken. Simply because the skeptic has never experienced it personally, so it must be ridiculous. Well, I've never seen a narwhal in real life myself.
So teams go out, take pictures of the area (as if that means something) re-interview witnesses, and try not to snicker (as if the interviews will change anything), and then hang out in the area that something happened - as if the ghost, UFO or bigfoot is going to show itself again while the skeptic is tapping his foot.
I'm sure I could live in the arctic for a year and not see a narwhal.

I'll probably regret this revelation but I was set up on a blind date by some friends I know, but they didn't know that the person they said was "perfect" for me was actually my sister. (they didn't know that she was my sister) We "played along" with the date for the entire evening, savoring the "shock and awe" it created upon the revelation at the end of the night that we were actually siblings. We (Kat and I) thouroughly enjoyed the reaction and was never again bothered by any "blind date" offers. It was fun at the time, but kinda creepy when I think about it.

:huh:

Yep, that's plenty creepy alright. There are some things that you should just take to your grave.

I'm sure if I went to the arctic looking for a narwhal I would find a narwhal. In the same way people going looking for ghosts and goblins are going to find them.

That said I have seen a UFO. But I don't subscribe to the idea that UFO = Aliens, its a Flying Object that was pretty Unidentified. But I have never seen a plane fly around like it did either.
