Slenderman

Slenderman, Der Großmann, and the Operator are only a few names used to describe this terror. Slenderman is described as an unnaturally tall man in a suit with either a black or red tie. There are arguments wether or not he has branch-like limbs extending from his back. All who have encountered him agree on one thing: his lack of a face. Just a white head and no facial expression where you would usually see eyes, ears, and a nose. The brain blocks out any trace of his real face to spare you anymore shock or terror. This being has some sorts of powers. He is able to put his victims in a trance and draw them closer and closer. Reports include him being able to disrupt any form of technology such as cameras, radios, televisions, etc. He is able to stretch his limbs to unnatural lengths in order to ensnare his victims. What he does with them is unknown. There are stories where he impales his victims on tree limbs. There are other stories where he takes you to the place of his death and asks you a question. If you answer correctly he breaks both of your arms and legs, and if you answer incorrectly he slowly elongates one of his fingers and slowly slides it down your throat painfully crushing all of your organs. It seems as if this entity has a mental connection with his victims. He enjoys playing psychological games with all those he stalks. The more paranoid someone becomes of his presence the more likely he will appear to you. His origins date back to the 16th century with German folklore of Der Großmann. He lived in the Black Forest and would chase any bad children sneaking in there after dark. He would continue to follow the until he caught them or they confessed what they had done to their parents. There are also accounts that he was once a regular human being in a small village of Germany. He was framed for a crime he did not do and was sentenced to death. The village used a medieval tool to pull his body and limbs apart. After his death he returned to the village and killed everyone except for one man.
