Legend Tripping, ‘Mean Girls’ Style: Two Girls Stab Third 19 Times To Please ‘Slender Man’

Two unnamed 12 year-old girls nearly succeeded in murdering a third the morning after a slumber party, all part of a plan to become ‘proxies’ of The Slender Man and live in his mansion in the forest. The Slender Man is basically an overblown internet meme: This is like sacrificing your best friend to Trollface.

Back in my day when we tied onions to our belts we did our legend tripping the old fashioned way: Wholesome activities like trespassing to chase ghosts and visit the sites of supposed murders and suicides. Ah, you kids today with your doges and pokey-men and what-have-you…

WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors say two 12-year-old southeastern Wisconsin girls stabbed their 12-year-old friend nearly to death in the woods to please a mythological creature they learned about online.

Both girls were charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court; they each face up to 60 years in prison if convicted. A court commissioner set bail at $500,000 cash per child. According to a criminal complaint, the girls had been planning to kill their friend for months and finally made the attempt in a park on Saturday morning, after a slumber party.

One of the girls told a detective they were trying to become “proxies” of Slender Man, a mythological demon-like character they learned about on creepypasta.wikia.com, a website about horror stories and legends. They planned to run away to the demon’s forest mansion after the slaying, the complaint said.

“I recognize their young ages but it’s still unbelievable,” Court Commissioner Thomas Pieper said during one of the girls’ initial court appearances Monday.

The victim suffered 19 stab wounds; one missed a major artery near her heart by a millimeter, doctors told police. She was in stable condition Monday. The court documents did not provide her name.

Got to remember everyone, the whole 'Slenderman' Meme started with a Photoshop contest on Somethingawful.com in '07 or '08 (I think).I joked at the time that most people on there would be afraid of a tall guy in a suit (because that was what he was depicted like). People trying to find a connection to different depictions, legends and stories from history and fables are either deluded and/or browse 4chan too much. Hell, the thread was cheesy as hell when it was posted.
 
Basically, they took the 'Men in Black' terms to another Level... just hoping the little girl survives....meaning that.

*edited because 'fuck' (instead of girl) doesn't really seem all too kind.

Oh yeah that is the truth .. the whole thing was a massive joke but /b/ being what it is ran with it as fast as it could.
 
Slender man has become the new Freddy Krueger, it is interesting though such as the rake (in which in was told there was sightings of a simliar creature in NY lake george area), how does one come up with such a entity? Can so much belief, will, and fear of a character turn it into a spiritual/physical entity, that manipulates just by picture? Something we should compare to other entities that were only made up hocus pocus that causes people to hurt others (you could count Cthulhu, but i dont think there were murders based off him)
 
That's an interesting question, Oak. There is nothing in my own personal philosophy that would prevent such a mass belief from manifesting, even physically. But I don't think it's necessary for it to take on physical form for it to wreak havoc with believers. Like that one Twilight Zone episode, you know the one...

yea but just so interesting to think about....I agree, this can be strictly a spiritual or ethereal entity. It could even be alien manipualtion like the idea of Cthulhu
