From internet hoax to urban legend to real life danger, ABC News has your coverage of the Slender Man saga. The chilling tale began with two 12-year-old girls who stabbed a classmate 19 times in the woods of Waukesha, Wisconsin while at a sleepover. The girls claim they were trying to please the online demonic creature, Slender Man. See the slender man interrogation, and interviews surrounding the slender man stabbing case. Originating as an internet meme Slender Man is a fictional character known for his tall and thin stature, featureless face that appears from myth to abduct and traumatize those that summon him through the Slender Man game. Stay tuned for all the updates on the slender man stabbing, and how slenderman turned from an urban myth to an internet meme and now cult phenomena.

For those who want more context, one of the 2 girls behind that stabbing were diagnosed with schizophrenia and was sent to a mental institution for around 22 years. The other one not diagnosed with it was sent to an institution for 15 years. One of them later wrote an apology note to Peyton describing how much they regret that disgusting immoral act that they did. The other one kept silent.

I can still recall my first time watching this, the same year it came out and being only eleven years old and also at the same time - being a part of the Creepypasta fandom, where Slenderman originated from back then and it really just...Unnerved me, scared me shitless. It for the longest time scared me not just out of the CP fandom, but in general any internet horror and those who were into it. I can still recall just how much of an impact this had too on the Creepypasta fandom - it ended up dying out to almost nothing and over in the recent years just began to rebuild itself and people having to state at every chance that "Hey, this character is not real, none of this is real, do not do ANY OF THIS.". It confused me as to how those two girls could believe someone that I thought was obvious that didn't even exist to begin with. I hope she's doing okay today, no kid or anybody deserves to go through anything this traumatic and painful. No one.

[@amadandearbhte4318]

I was 12 and getting quite into conspiracy videos on KZbin. Men in black, aliens, ghosts, photos that shouldn't exist, illuminate etc. I suppose that's why this story was recommended to me. I never truly believed them, but when I saw this, I realized just how easily I could have. I'm fairly gullible. I guess cause I always had intelligent adults in my life that I could trust. If I didn't already have strong beliefs on what was real and what wasn't, I could be a damn 'moon landing was faked' person right now. Though this is different, internet algorithms can take you to dark places. Also I believe the leader Morgan was schizophrenic. That's why she so truly believed slenderman was real.

"Shes been stabbed" Operator: "Is there any bleeding" What sort of question is that!?

[@Devilsnightforlife]

+Dean Murphy They probably get phone calls about possible stabbings all the time. Might as well ask about key conditions to make sure if it is severe and how much. EDIT: since some people have upvoted this comment lately, let me point out a key flaw in the OP comment that I have mentioned further down in the comment chain: - The caller didn't say "she's been stabbed", despite OP's misquote. He said "She *appears* to be stabbed". That is not confirmation that she was indeed stabbed. It's critical that emergency operators ask these very simple leading questions to confirm what is going on, and to lead the callers into providing useful and genuine information that medical personal needs to know. If they just provide distressed guesses, which at worst could be false information, it could lead to the victims getting mistreated or the medical staff not being prepared to save them.

[@deanmurphy7307]

Thor Pedersen Eh. I guess. But if that's really the case the operator should've asked "how bad is the bleeding"

[@Devilsnightforlife]

in my opinion, the operator was just trying to grasp information, like what kind of weapon was used. if she was stabbed by something pointed like an ice pick then there would be no bleeding (or maybe minimal). this kind of information are critical for them so they could send the appropriate help. and btw by that time nobody knows how many times she got stabbed.

She was the only one who saw that Morgan had no friends because she was different so she reached out to be her friend..such a sweet loving girl. Glad she's OK. Morgan's schizophrenia was manipulated by Anissa. From her interogation video I believe Anissa may be a psychopath / sociopath.
