So out of boredom I've been going way back on the /x/ boards and found a thread asking for people to post pics of the "slender man". Googled a bit and found out that it was a creature created on Something Aweful's forum in a thread where people made up mythical creatures.

Then I found these youtube videos about the Slenderman. Obviously fake, but really well done and scary. First one made me cry a bit.
