Is the Slender Man only an urban myth or does he really exist? With the renewed interest in the strange creature, we decided to put together a series of reported events across the world over the last 150 years that have a reference to the Slender Man (Der Grosse Man) mythology.

From the first reported encounter that took place in Virginia in the 1860's reported by Dr.Abe and Martha Mosely who ended up unleashing an evil force described as a "Thin Slender Man", to the last known sighting in 2011, we have compiled a collection of 12 frightening stories from across the world that trace the encounters of ordinary people with Slender.

Read them and decide for yourself whether the Slender Man is just a myth or if he lives amongst us...


1) The First Sighting (Nelson Hills, Virginia, 1863)
2) Camp at Trevor Hills (South Dakota, April 1942)
3) Child at the Cemetary (Fort Collins, Colorado,November 1947)

With so little information on Slender available, this app comes as a welcome change. Contains downright scary and terrifying encounters of ordinary people's encounters with Slender since the mid 1800s. I loved "Witch's Curse".
