The Slender Man | Der Großmann
The slender man is believed to be a man dressed in a black business suit, like the ones worn in men in black, and is about 6 feet tall.
The slender man was a man who was beat with a log, stabbed with a 2 foot stick, and hung from a tree with his arms, hands, legs, and feet all pulled out of sockets.
The legend is that in the daytime the slender man will most likely show up in open areas with trees to the side of an open, empty road, or in the woods or any area filled with trees. Most reports from survivors of the slender man say at night he shows up in open windows, dark open rooms, blank TV screens, and in large crowds of people. The slender man only kills kids younger then 16. There are ways to toy with him, but you may be risking your own death. His arms, legs, fingers, and toes will stretch so that he is up to 34 feet tall with a bone breaking sound. If he appears to you, turn away! He has the power to control your body. When you wake up, you will be tied up laying down in the woods where he was killed. A 547 pound log will be hanging over your head. He will ask you a question. If you get the answer right, he will break both your arms and legs. If you get it wrong he will slowly stick his fingers down your neck and pulls out you heart.

I was walking home at 11:34pm with my mates and as we walked one of us got a feeling that someone was following us. We had to go through the woods to get to my house. My friends continued to worry but we kept going until my friend slowed and turned to take a picture of whatever was making the noise behind us. The flash revealed a tall, many limbed figure standing close by watching us. We started to run and I was the only one from the group who made it home.

I was walking home when I saw a strange shape near the woods. Being more curious than smart, I went in a little deeper to find what it was. I saw the tip of a mans fingers and as i looked behind a tree, I saw a man in the suit with skinny, multiple, limbs coming out of his back. I started to run, but his outstretched arms made me feel welcome. I started to step towards him, when I heard a scream and saw my little sister watching. I ran off with her and every time i go near the woods alone, I see the tip of a mans hand.

Der Großmann
Der Großmann is German for “The tall man”. The tall man, or “slender” man is a legend which on the something awful forums a few years back as part of a photo-manipulation contest.
Now, the photos were faked. However, the supposed creator of “the slender man” reported later on that he could not remember ever posting information regarding the slenderman in any way. Some other people claim to have seen or heard about the slenderman long before in their lives or in legends dating back to the Medieval period in human history [such as Germanic folklore concerning "Der Großmann " roaming the black forest (Der Schwarzwald) and snatching away children who disobey their parents]. The myth goes on to state that the tall man was possibly a child molester who was strung about the trees as punishment for his crimes. His spirit is said to have survived and continues to prey upon the young.
The “tall man” is generally depicted as an unusually tall (he can grow to different heights; capable of blending in with the trees of a forest) and completely bald figure sporting a business suit with either a red or black tie. He has no eyes, nose, or ears, and has a very wide grin running from one side of his face to the other (or no mouth at all). In some cases he is reported as having a hat, tentacles, or multiple limbs sprouting from his back which he uses to ensnare his prey.
What makes Der Großmann so fearful is that his existence is questionable. He may be real…or he may not be. Perhaps the majority who have encountered the tall man have never lived to tell the tale. In fact, fear for slenderman may actually manifest him into your reality-creating a bridge between fact and myth.
The tall man is commonly spotted hiding and lurking about in the fog when stalking his victims. Der Großmann usually befriends his children victims (acting as an imaginary friend of sorts) and is capable of luring them into forests at night with psychokinetic powers. From then on the children walk mindlessly into the branching arms of Der Großmann as he grins at their young faces, never to be seen or heard of again-a fate unknown. Some say these children are eaten, taken to another dimension, or quite possibly worse. Again, the myth varies.
Der Großmann is said to be capable of slowly driving victims to madness, can induce paranoia, give coughing fits to them, and can induce disorientation and dizziness, amnesia, and insomnia. He is even said to be capable of visiting them in horrendous nightmares that vary from person from person.
Such victims are slowly driven to insanity by Der Großmann and are soon incapable of thought outside the realm of his fear. This induced insanity is said to weaken victims, making them more susceptible to his control. He loves to toy with his prey before finishing them off.
In some cases victims become mindless minions for Der Großmann, working to bring in more victims to him for his satisfaction. These minions may plant listening devices in your home, follow you around without you being aware of it, and watch over you-even as you sleep.
Some say he can teleport and appear at multiple locations at the same time. In some myths he is able to distort electronic equipment; quite possibly Der Großmann is some electromagnetic entity.
Think you can kill or ambush him? Think again. With his psychokinetic powers Der Großmann can deflect bullets and other objects away from his body before impact. Ambush would also be quite impossible; if you’ve seen Der Großmann it is most likely that he is closely watching you and all of your actions. Failed attempts to strike at Der Großmann with a weapon may be met with him obstructing your nervous system and disabling bodily functions-making it ever more easy for him to finish you off.
Again, it is not known exactly what happens once a victim has finally been taken by him. Some say they simply disappear. In more gruesome accounts the victims’ bodies are found impaled on tree limbs with their organs placed throughout their bodies in plastic bags.
The most frightening possible fate may be that Der Großmann extends his fingers to great lengths, punctures the bodies of victims, and destroys every major internal organ they have from within; tying them up from the inside into a great slendery (and bloody) knot.
Remember, the thought of Der Großmann may bring him ever more closer to you. Trying to forget about him will also lead him to you; once you see him there is no turning away from the possibilities of ends which await you.
Those slender shadows you see moving about in the dark of the night or that tall and misshaped tree in the distance may very well be Der Großmann. Waiting…watching…grinning all the while.

This scares me so badly………..im afraid to turn of the tv now…..so much for my energy bill……
This is a fake story of the slender man. He is really a mythical creature who only hangs around kids. He dosnt take you out to were he died and ask you a queation and if you get it right or wrong. And its impossable because if he died he would be a ghost not a 6 foot fall man, in myth he is 8-10 feet tall and he comes he is like a good grim repear. So please do not beleave this and look it up yourself on a diffrent website.

Lucky person. I’m 12 and I’m scared for my life -_______-
i’m 14, i live near the woods, and i’m a little girl at heart, and i’m not scared. of coarse i do have an odd family tree…
This is weird I have been having nightmares of this guy on and off of the last week. I haven’t been able to sleep at all, and from what I thought was the insomnia I kept seeing him outside of my window and in reflections of objects. I have never heard of the slenderman before but I keep seeing him, tonight I heard a weird humming noise and foot steps that sounded like wooden clogs, and I thought I saw him in my house. I am freaking out and I am doing everything I can not to fall asleep tonight.
Ok, just to get some facts straight: The Slender Man (AKA The Operator or The White King) is not a man who was beaten with a log, tied to a tree, etc. It is not a ghost, and it is most certainly not (and never will be) a man. It is unknown whether it feeds on it’s victims, as it never leaves behind bodies (as of this date, only two people have been known to survive an appearance from The Slender Man). It has the ability to extend its limbs to great lengths, and has tentacle-like appendages that it can seemingly grow at will. The youtube account MarbleHornets has a detailed account of the two known survivors of The Slender Man, as well as some footage of The Operator itself.
Several researchers have hypothesized that TSM is an interdimensional being that somehow requires human-based chemical reactions to keep itself tethered to this plane. Obviously, no tests have proven conclusive, as The Operator tends to take an interest in those who get too involved in its true nature. Just by writing this short essay I have likely put myself at risk
Ur soo smart but not to be sarcastic
I thought i saw the slender man when i was young, no lie. Really tall, i couldn’t see his face, and he was is what looked like a suit…
No like seriously, is this real? I am really scared!
there is nothing to fear but fear it’s self
We will all die. There’s no stopping it, but these stories are just to scare you into dying for us. The world will die screaming a silent scream. To stop us you need a real human voice. A recrding will not work. I am the essance of fear.
my worst nightmare is a teddy bear with a light voice saying he wants a hug x) so if you are my worst nightmare…enjoy…
i’ve seen him, i just stared at him and he turned and walked away. i guess if you show know fear then he leaves you alone
That is really super creepy…
