returing

not much of a post here, I'm bringing this blog back from the metaphorical dead haha. Be prepared for a barrage of posts from now on, since it seems trying to get rid of him by ignoring him has long made him more aggressive, I'll continue my research, since I guess that's what he wants.

The sickness

 The sickness, also known as "slendersickness", is a condition caused by long-term exposure to slenderman and his proxies, usually described as being similar to radiation sickness, as well as a variety of other illnesses. 

Symptoms: 

Stalked: 

Nosebleeds, slight cough, mild amnesia, and possible feever, usually mistaken for a cold 

First encounter:

Nose bleeds, exhaustion, strong cough, vomiting, amnesia, slight signs of radiation poisoning, deja vu, insomnia, the paranoia sometimes starts at this point

More than five encounters:

Victims will start coughing heavily at this point, usually to the point of coughing up blood, vomit with blood, heavy signs of radiation poisoning, severe insomnia, losing large chunks of time, waking up feeling like you've  been running for hours, obsession with slenderman and his symbols, hallucinations, paranoia, agression (these last ones are mostly caused by the insomnia)

These are likely caused by something known as sigma radiation, something supposedly given off by slenderman, as well as possibly being some form of literal virus, being around people who have seen slenderman has the potential to infect people with the sickness. 

(a/n: this shit sucks, been dealing with it since I was 12, I'm trying to find a way to deal with it but... other than avoiding him, there doesn't seem to be any)

Slenderman summoning rituals

 A WARNING BEFORE YOU READ THIS 

These are dangeous, these are not fun little games, these are real, and these are dangerous. I'm putting these here as a way to archive as much information on him as I can, I'm in no way encouragng people to go out and do these, nothing that I'm going through is fun, you don't want to be a proxy, a runner, or whatever I am.
This. Is. Not. A. Game.

Method #1

You'll need:

-A knife or carving device

-A tree

Find a tree, preferably in the woods at night, but it doesn't matter much. Carve the operator symbol into the tree, and say these words with your head rested on the symbol and eyes closed:

*“*Slenderman, Slenderman, all the children try to run.

Slenderman, Slenderman, to him it's part of the fun.

Slenderman, Slenderman, dressed in his dark suit and tie.

Slenderman, slenderman, you will most certainly die.”

You've just invited him into your life.

(a/n done this one multiple times, always encountered him afterwards 0_0)

Method #2

You'll need:

-A mirror

-A dark room

All you're supposed to do for this one is go into a dark room, look into the mirror, and say slenderman 13x

( a/n I don't really trust this one, seems too similar to bloody Mary, but mirrors are known to be portals so who knows, haven't tried it yet)

What is slenderman

 I will start this off by saying that slenderman is not the operator, the operator is from marble hornets, a series that is completley fictional. Slenderman however, has a very real possibility to really exist, at least in my opinion. 

Appearance:

Slenderman is a humanoid male figure, dressed in a black suit and tie. It's face is debated to be either completley blank, or have slight traces of a human face. It can be anywhere from 7-12 feet tall, and is known to be able to change it's height, as well as possibly diguise itself as other beings such as regular humans. It is also known to be able to produce branching tendrils from it's back. 

But what is he?

Slenderman's exact species is unknown, but is thought to either be some form of demon, cryptid, or eldrich being that simply took an intrest in humans. Whatever he is, it's well known that slenderman feeds off fear; he is, as I call him, a creature of stories. He exists to get his word out and known by as many people as possible, and to do that, it goes to the extreme measures that it does, like spreading sickness and causing insanity in it's victims. It's possible that it would die if it wasn't known. 

How he came to be:

For a more grounded approach to this blog, I'll go over how slenderman was brought to the internet, though I belive he's existed long before then. Slenderman as we know him now, was first posted to the internet in 2009, on the humour forum SomethingAuful for a horror image contest, by a man named Eric Knudsen (known a Victor Surge on the forum at the time). His post very quickly gained alot of traction and spawned a variety of web series, blogs, and stories surrounding the creature in his image.

How slenderman could really exist: 

To explain how he could possibly exist in real life, I first need to go over a concept known as egregores; to simplify it, egregores are entities created by a group of people beliving them to be real, this concept exists in multiple cultures, and is sometimes also called a tulpa or thoughtform.
more on egregores more on tulpas more on thoughtforms

This said, the fact that in all stories and media about slenderman he was known to feed off of people's thoughts about him, and was drawn to the people who looked for him, creates the perfect recipie for slenderman to eventually be manifested as an egregore. 

I also know that beliving in slenderman and trying to summon him was rampant with younger horror fans in the 2010s. While these were mostly children, that could have actually lead to it's advantage. As an example: do you remember being a child, and seeing the tooth fairy in media, where all the characters said she was real, and the media itself acted as if she really existed, or maybe you belived in Santa, or your favourite character, either way, your belief couldn't be swayed, you fully belived these things were real, no matter how impossible it seemed; that is the recipie for a thoughtform, the fact that children belived in slenderman to this extent, could have been enough to create a thoughtform on it's own.

(a/n, let me know if  you want more informational posts or more journals about my own experiences, I do plan to do both but I still wanna know what you guys think.)

The purpose of this blog

 While I won't give information about myself to keep my life private, I will reveal what my goal for this website is. There is and always has been a looming figure in my life, a man, taller than the trees, with a blank face, and powers beyond my comprehension. This figure is something known as slenderman, something that, because of circumstance, I've grown to belive could really exist. This is my experiences, along with as much information as I can find to help others going through what I am.

This site will also include information about other entities, that are popularly described as fictional. Entites that the internet has deemed "creepypastas". There are a variety of reasons that I belive they could exist, that I'll leave for a different entry.

If you're here to hate, troll, or tell me this isn't real, don't bother, I know what's going on in my life, these things I write about are true, regardless of what you belive. I am not suffering from any condition that causes delusions, and I'm not some toddler trying to get adopted by slenderman or some shit. I know what I'm doing here.
