[@jetpackblues9193]

The girls from the Slenderman stabbing didn't make up the whole lore around killing someone to live with Slenderman, that was spawned from the Creepypasta fandom. They also believed that other Creepypasta characters, like Jeff the Killer and Ben Drowned, existed, and in a packing list they wrote they even planned on bringing fandom specific gifts to appease these other characters. I used to be in the Creepypasta fandom, and reading that note was honestly horrifying.

[@TheMissing8]

That case was nuts. That's the first time I heard of Slenderman.

[@herghostnthefog]

This should be a top comment, it really bugged me that they didn't research this case more to realize things like this

[@tyruku18]

When that situation happened, I was straight up disgusted and I was only 2-3 years older then they were. I was still in high school and I was well aware of the Creepypasta stir ups during that time.

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

Some Chris Chan levels of dimensional merge they were going off of

[@cdizzy42069]

They should totally cover Ben Drowned on CreepCast or here

[@nymbr-11]

An important thing to mention about the slenderman stabbing girls is that both of them had severe mental issues and had previously reached out to their parents for help, but were denied anything. It was barely even about the creepypasta, these kids were sick and nobody would help them so the illness kept developing. This isn't to defend their actions or to give them an excuse, it's an explanation.

[@trydodis690]

I believe only one of them (Morgan Geyser) had a true mental illness which was later diagnosed schizophrenia that developed into psychosis. Anissa Weier on the other hand while also put in a state mental institution was evaluated to be viable for conditional release after she initially pleaded insanity. The reason for this is because they found that she quickly overcame her mental illness and lost all violent tendencies. If you look at the quotes from her in trial and at her arrest I think it is pretty clear she was clearly in the right state of mind when she attempted this homicide. Things like telling Geyser to “go ballistic” and stab the victim while not doing anything herself or telling officers “the bad part of me wanted (Payton) to die, the good part of me wanted her to live” something that doesn’t indicate fear or coercion but rather a warped sense of thrill seeking while also trying to express that she had air of innocence. She was not diagnosed with split personality disorder or schizophrenia at the mental hospital, she wasn’t actually diagnosed with anything in particular. I think it’s a real shame she is now released and was only charged for attempted second degree murder (manslaughter) initially, Geyser got the attempted first degree murder charge despite Weier being the one to persuade Geyer to go ballistic on Payton. If anything that shows that she had premeditated the stabbing more than Geyser who did it out of genuine fear that slenderman would come to kill her and her family if she did not appease him.

[@arsena5209]

​@@trydodis690 here's to hoping the Weier girl isn't still a terrible person like she was as a kid 😅

[@dingus_maximus]

This is why I hate when people use video games and violent media as scapegoats for stuff like this. I think it’s overall pretty rare for that sort of thing to actually cause violence, rather than just bringing out latent violent tendencies in already mentally unstable people who aren’t getting the treatment they need.

[@TheMissing8]

@@trydodis690 I believe you are correct from what I remember of the case. Mental Health treatment and diagnoses in the US ( and most of the world honestly) is absolutely behind where it should be in terms of medicine.

For me, I always had my own headcanon. It always felt like Slenderman was assimilating its victims. It Came from the ocean, hence the tentacles. Once it got to land, it primarily assimilated adult men, which is were the height and suit come from. As it absorbed more and more adults it gained awareness and felt it was missing something. It started assimilating children, causing it to develop a childlike laugh and a fascination with drawing.

[@LiamAmsel]

I haven't heard of a headcanon like that for Slenderman before! I also just haven't looked at much Slenderman stuff for the past few years, but yours seems super interesting! I like the idea of him as something like the Thing, but from the depths of the ocean. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@paragongaming1885]

I have the head cannon that he's like the personification of human fears. Everything about him plays on a super common fear, like walking alone in the woods, the uncanny valley effect (unproportional body) being bigger than you, being an overwhelming force (like his tentacles and nausea you get when he's around) and, worst of all, taking children from their parents.

[@yellowfootproductions8835]

My headcanon is that he’s a cave version of humans. If you compare Olms to Axolotles its similar to Slenderman vs a regular human.

Slenderman Murder Lore; When you listen to the whole story Anissa Weier was the architect of the entire thing, she took advantage of Morgan's mental illness. Payton Leutner and Morgan were originally friends, Payton seemed like a good person that was looking out for Morgan, Anissa doesn't seemed to be liked by her classmates for being sus and Payton was actually trying steer Morgan away from Anissa once she was trying to be friends with Morgan, but Anissa was extremely manipulative. If you watch the interrogation Anissa gets excited when talking about slenderman and had a huge browser history full of creepypasta meanwhile Morgan only mentioned slenderman when it was brought up and didn't seem nearly as interested.

[@PlutosAsleep]

If I remember correctly, wasn't their more cases that had slenderman in it? It has this one kid that burned down their house and something like that with their parents. There are plenty of cases that got creepypastas involved. Like that one girl who killed her mother?

I was in the Photoshop thread where Slenderman was created on SomethingAwful in like 2007 - the goal was to create "haunting" images, with something just barely visible in the distance. Slenderman ended up owning that thread. It was just a guy in a suit, then a weirdly tall, lanky guy, then someone added tentacles...

[@talonus202]

I didn't have home internet access until I graduated high school in 2008. I learned about slenderman three years later, and while I knew it was fake, it creeped the hell outta me. The part about how the more you researched it the more you attracted it was what got me the most.

As you get closer you begin to hear the haunting screams of capturerd kids of both the saucer as well as the passengers within you. Thankfully you narrowly miss the thing as you ascend above it before it's tentacles can touch you.

[@BritBox777]

As someone old enough to be in college when Slendie hit the stage it was still impossible to avoid him. There were watch parties on campus showing Marble Hornet's because it was the new and experimental horror trend. We have to remember that the modern fad of "horror/murder/nightmares are primarily kids entertainment" that KZbin somehow manifested is very new and traditionally morbid stuff was meant for adults, so there was a lot of spill over.

[@trydodis690]

An important detail that was not mentioned about the slenderman stabbing was that both Geyser and Meier assured Payton that she should lie down and they would get help after they stabbed her. Something they did not do. During interrogations it was concluded that Geyer had no empathy for the stabbing whereas Meier had incredible guilt. Both were sent to a state mental institution but their charges were not the same, Geyser was charged with attempted first degree murder while Meier was charged with attempted second degree murder despite her giving Geyser the instructions to “go ballistic” and stab Payton. She was released early from the mental institution because of good behavior and response to treatment despite her not being diagnosed with any particular mental illness. Geyser on the other hand was diagnosed with schizophrenia and psychosis during her time there explaining her lack of empathy for the initial crime.

Fun fact: SCP existed almost 2 years before slender man and got a huge boost in popularity possibly due to slender man which made it seem like it came after.

[@kaisokusekkendou1498]

I was turning 30 when the creepypasta scene was coming out. SCP wiki, Slenderman, Candle Cove, stairs in the woods, etc. There's just something about them that really impacted me.. like, a rediscovery of the wonder I had as a child in the 80s. Those moments when I could play in the backyard, and use a shrub that had heavy branches allowing me to sit in it like it was the seat of a mech, or use GI Joe figures in the dirt and stucco and imagine a rock wall scene. That feeling of simultaneously aware that the world around me is normal, but having that layer over top that creates a world of whatever I wanted. That feeling was restored with these stories. It probably shaped my 30s, pivoting me in a different direction. I looked up and read Lovecraft and other existential stories. Reading books by Robert Anton Wilson or taking a scholarly approach to the Bible. Trying to create a duality in my mind, where I can "believe without believing" to better understand the knowledge conveyed by someone with a different perspective than mine, without necessarily losing myself to it. While Slenderman did not captivate me in the way that a teenage mind would, it coincided with a time where I could appreciate these things so much more as an adult. I've been engrossed in this culture ever since!

Slenderman & Jake. The drawings weren't post abduction as Charlie thought. There are 2 drawings: one signed "Jake 7" and the other "Jake 8". The bday party invitation is for May 18th. The newspaper article states Jake was 8 yrs old and abducted May 19th. So, Jake saw Slender at age 7 then again at his party. He drew the 2nd picture after seeing Slender at the party (hence the balloon in the drawing and new age) and was abducted the next day.

Not finished yet, but I'm surprised during the talk of the stabbings, no one mentioned how the 2 girls were trying to get to this "mansion" which is referencing the "creepypasta mansion", I think made up by some fans of the creepypasta wiki. These girls were likely exposed to majority of Slenderman lore via this fan wiki, amongst other famous creepypastas like Jeff the Killer. They were trying to get into what is essentially a bunch of preteen's fanfiction mansion. You can hear them talk more about it from their interrogation footage, which you can find on KZbin. These 2 girls were so disconnected from reality and I think shows what unmoderated and constant internet access can potentially do to a child. They wanted these stories to be real SO badly, they had to believe a new reality. Children need to be reminded that these stories are just stories, fun tales to get scared over, and that escapism should be left at the door the second it's time to return to daily life. They were certainly mentally ill and troubled, but children are so impressionable that I don't think that is the only reason.

[@THE_MOONMAN]

Yeah too many people don't supervise their children! I wish they would at least get familiar with what they're up to online, so they can at least actually trust that they're safe.

My favorite part is when Slenderman says "It's time to get slender, man" and then slenders all over his mansion

[@emmyrose233]

Completely off-topic but I feel like Jackson is so fun to be friends with

[@scribbly07]

I love waking up to a new episode I’m so hyped!!!!

[@Thugerella69]

[@streetsamurai1147]

I've been bingingall morning at work, only to be blessed with a new episode right as I'm finished. It's gonna be a good day!

[@Mr.wompy538]

I love yall so much, you make my day when u post

[@mentkansleyunitedstatesgov6364]

I love that the horror film turned Slenderman from some spooky dude who creeped in the woods to a Sadako spooky internet video "watch it and you'll die" copycat who was an evil tree in the woods, also I've watched a creepypasta before where in the comments one dude unironically asked "when did this happen, I cant find any news reports about it"

[@OfficialSaintzeth]

no fucking way i just finished binge watching all of these after an all nighter and ya post a new one amazing timing

[@LiamAmsel]

Ayyy, actually here early for an episode! I'm excited y'all are talkin' bout a classic, haha. Hope y'all have a good day! ✌️✨️

i love it how it feel like im hanging out with you guys every video

[@amazinga7794]

Thank you for doing this. This and the Official Podcast are the only way I can keep going at this point.

[@elresponsibleadult2100]

The timing is impeccable

[@ianeons9278]

I remember back in like 2017 or 2018 when I was like 10 or 11 I drew a picture of Slenderman and my Grandma saw it. She looked it up and got horrified about the incident that happened a few years prior. So I guess a lot of people had to explain to their family that it wasn’t like that.

[@raquelwilfong1297]

Love ur content and adore all 3 of u guys !!! Thank u for ur time ❤

[@ImmaMadPacMan]

The intro song is such a bop! Thanks for entertaining us all with your amazing videos.

[@ezra8129]

anyone else feel like the energy was off with this video? like Jackson would say something and Isaiah and Charlie just wouldn't answer or kinda just bluntly shut him down. Felt a bit uncomfortable honestly. Don't know if the guys just weren't as into this topic as Jackson was or if they're a bit burnt out from doing the pod weekly, or if this particular day was a bit off. Idk I'm super sensitive to tone lately so it could just be me

[@alicemirga2435]

Nah kinda felt this, a couple times they were blatantly wrong. Charlie insisted Slenderman abducted "Jake" at his 8th birthday party and never met him before that. But the pictures he viewed like 6 seconds previous were all titled "age 7". Idk much about Slenderman lmao. I know even less about Jackson and I adore wendigoon and Charlie. But definitely felt this

I mean, you don't draw your kidnapper because you know each other, you draw them because you are traumatized by the experience, and you can't forget what the kidnapper looks like.

[@JoshOdom]

BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS ONE

[@carlosvaldez3093]

im not from the US and know little about slenderman. that slender man stabbing is horrible. felt so heavy during that part. eased up and felt glad that the child victim lived even after 19 stabs.

[@bluelime83]

Around the same time the stabbings happened, my middle schools counselor sat me and my friend down and asked how we were doing as if we were going to something just as insane JUST because we said we would draw him in class.
