Two twelve year olds stabbed their friends 19 times to prove their devotion to Slenderman.

(CNN)  -- They had something to prove to someone they found on a ghoulish website. So, two girls allegedly lured a third girl into a wooded area in Milwaukee over the weekend and stabbed her 19 times, police in Wisconsin said. The suspects allegedly left the victim to crawl to her own rescue. The three girls, all 12 years old, were friends, according to a criminal complaint.

A bicyclist found the wounded girl alive Saturday, lying on a sidewalk in the city of Waukesha, Police Chief Russell Jack said. She was in stable condition at a hospital on Monday. The girls were trying to impress a certain "Slenderman," the complaint read.

One of the girls encountered the name on a website known as Creepypasta Wiki, which posts horror stories. Slenderman is the site's supposed leader, and to climb up into his realm, a user must kill someone, one of the suspects told police.

Did you guys know about this? I just found out. Where the hell did these chicks find this ridic ritual, and why do they believe in Slenderman? Also, since when did Slenderman become our site's leader?
