Talk:The Slender Man/@comment-34534666-20180131100206

When I was young, I lived in Poland and we had a really large forest behind our house. I remeber how me great grandmother and my mother used to tell me stories about a tall man wtih a white face, dressed in black, and really long, lanky arms and fingers. They called him Sryll and I had nightmares about him. So, I guess that's the sort of stories that created Slenderman starting with the stories from Germany and then spreading accross Europe and then America. I dunno, I eventually grew out of it, but I did tell my mom about Slenderman 2 years ago and she told me that this is what Sryll looks like. Well, you know how it goes, Slenderman is everything that is an uncanny valley of sorts that is quite creepy for some.
