Well, I'm interested in Slenderman for a quite long time, probably since I was 6. I always explored around the woods to see him. But I was never succesful at that. But I never gave up. I always tried again and again. Until when I was listening to music in our car, I saw a tall black thing. It was 2-3 meters long and I jumped out of the seat screaming "Holy shit!!!". I couldn't sleep properly for 4 weeks. Finally I believed it was a hallucination. It was helping me to sleep until I saw him again in the woods when I was exploring a few months ago. Look, I like to walk in the woods at night, just grabbing a flashlight and wandering around in the darkness, it calms me down. Anyway, I saw him again when I was exploring, he was just staring at me. I was alone, it was midnight and I was far away from our house. We kept looking each other for 2 or 3 minutes, I guess. Finally when I attempted to walk away, I couldn't move my body. I know it's pretty awkward but seriously I just couldn't move it. Then I started to get dizzy and I saw flashbacks from my childhood. I couldn't see anything but flashbacks, then I saw my best friend's dead body, then his brother screaming "RUN!". That's when I got my consciousness back. When I looked forward, He was so close, like really really close. That's when I bolted. I couldn't belive it myself at first but when I looked back and saw him for one more time, I was so sure he was real. Then I looked back for the last time and he wasn't there. Then I was about to continue running, he was in front of me. I don't how did he do that, maybe he teleported or he moved so fast, I just ran past him and I reached home. He was looking at me at the edge of the woods. I was so terified. I realized I pissed my pants, then I entered the house. That was the last time I saw him, and I still can't sleep. I don't know what to do. I keep researching around the internet and I still can't be sure to believe it or don't. But when I think of everything that happened back there, I think he IS real. I am creeping right now, and I hope I don't see him once again. It's your choice to believe me or not, but I was nearly dead back there. I think I won't be able to handle this trauma for a long time.
