I can't explain it, but I managed to escape. I escaped for now, at least. I laughed and mocked him before. He

didn't look scary at all, so how could he be scary if he didn't look like it? I was wrong. My body almost locked

up in fear, as if I was supposed to be afraid. Just being in his presence was creepy. I made this, and am

posting this here to tell everyone my theory, just a theory to explain what is unexplained. I read that he

came from the black woods in Germany, or something like that. The adults didn't want the kids to go there,

so they told scary stories that made them afraid, very afraid. That fear manifested itself into what we know

as Slenderman. When somebody went there to see if it is true, and didn't come back, word spread. Word

spread of a haunted forest. He became stronger with this major fear. Now when anybody is afraid, he grows

stronger. That is why he can be defeated, fight your fear, become fearless and you don't need to fear him. If

my theory is correct, he can shape shift into any form that we fear, giant bugs, spider, the pope. I am not

kidding on the last one, papaphobia , the fear of the pope. That also explains why he has a good side to him.

Fear of good people made him have a kinder side to him. However, because fear of good people are rare, his

good side isn't extremely strong. That's also why worm Jeff is the only one that can out-power him, worm Jeff

can't be scared, he's fearless. It's also why he's been defeated before, by four, was it? I'm not likely

absorbs fear from those that he gets rid of. That way he makes people fear fear itself, and kill them, taking

their fear, making him stronger. That's why he's scary, he is fear. If you have fear, you are a target. Everyone

has a fear, death, heights, bugs, spiders, something will cause them fear. Even the four that have beaten him

before are afraid of him. They are afraid of fear. Who was it that said we only need to be afraid of fear itself?

Well, slendy is fear, always has been, always will be. Until we all stop fearing-no. Animals have fears to, he'll

exsist as long as there are creatures that live on this diverse planet. He's out there, lookibg for me right now.

He's out there looking for somebody who is afraid of many things, to grow stronger. Goodbye, and I hope he

doesn't come loking for you. If you see him, run, just rn. You can't hde from fear, so you can't hide from

Slenderman.

No real person died when I wrote this, only a fictional OC did. I promise that. This is my opinion on where the

master of creepiness came from, using my knowledge and insanity to write this. I think you'll understand why

there are typos near the end, and not in the beginning. THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL! This is just my idea of where

he came from, and it works, because it would make him more powerful than we could imagine. He is the

embodiment of fear. Fear is a strong emotion as well, and is stronger in dreams than in reality. He could easily

pull a Freddy and kill you in your dream. Not only does this theory make him more creepy, and stronger, it

gives him a new power, metamorphosis! This theory also makes sense. NOTE: If somebody else thinks that

this is there theory, or posted the same thing, i'm sorry. I just wanted it to be spread out more instead of

stuck in my head.
