User blog comment:CrashingCymbal/Have you ever had an encounter that could be considered "paranormal"?/@comment-6813369-20130916233635

I guess I've had a few, but the others were small ghostly things that wouldn't quite scare me. The one that I'm about to tell however, was the creepiest thing that has ever happened to me. In sixth grade, we went to this camp within the woods of Waco, Texas. I believe the camp's name was Camp Allen, and it was my school's tradition to take all graduating six graders to a camp. Everything was normal, and we spent several hours in the dark woods this one night to conduct an expiriment invovling how a certain candy can emmit light for a few seconds due to the frictions our teeth cause when we chew on it. I felt an eerie presence, and felt quite paranoid, but found it normal since the woods did look pretty creepy. We eventually went back to our cabins, which were about 4 to 5 feet off the ground to keep snakes and wolves from getting in. I had the bunk next to the window that pointed to the trees, and I found it hard to sleep. Here's where it gets interesting. I looked down into the trees because I felt something there. When I looked down, I saw a tall pale man with a suit staring up at my window. I felt uneasy and I couldn't keep focus on the figure. I still found it hard to sleep, but was not afraid of this figure, but something about him bothered me. I believe I saw slenderman, but that's not the weird part. I saw him before I even knew about him, or before he became a popular meme. So it kinda creeped me out that I saw Slenderman even before I knew his story. I've suffered from insomnia ever since that encounter, and I believe that the reason I'm not going insane and being hunted by him, is because I had no idea who he was at the time and did not fear him. I survived an encounter with Slenderman... o.o
