Slender Man is quickly becoming all the rage for horror fans these days.
The creepy lanky white faced urban legend may have originated as a creepy pasta online,
but Slendy has had some major real world impact, including a very real, very controversial
case that occurred in Wisconsin when two 12 year old girls stabbed their friend 19 times
in an attempt to impress the fictional creature.
While many people are quick to argue that the slender man is surely a made up story,
variations of the paranormal figure have existed for centuries in German, Dutch and Scottish
urban legends, all of which tell of a tall man, or a branch man or a dark man.
Regardless of what you believe, there’s many people out there who are convinced that
they’ve seen him in real life, and there’s even a few who believe they’ve caught him
on camera.
So today we’re taking a look at some of those claims with our list of the top 5 scary
moments slender man was caught on camera.
5 Surprise This footage, shot on an old camcorder, is
pretty brief, but quite effective.
As the camera person slowly shuffles over to their left in what appears to be beneath
a bridge or some sort of industrial area next to some foliage, we slowly see the reveal
of long thin limbs.
The more they shift out to the left, we start to see a tall lanky body, and finally, a distinctly
round head.
The camera person then seemingly drops to the ground, or onto their knees, with the
footage going all static and then cutting entirely.
4 Getting Chased This footage begins with the camera person
filming a young boy sitting on a couch, using his laptop.
They then turn around, and down the hall behind them appears who else but GOOD OL SLENDER
MAN!
This is when things get utterly chaotic.
The camera person screams, appears to fall, and scrambles to get away.
The camera cuts to black a few times, and the image reappears, with the camera facing
down another hallway, and the long lanky body of Slender Man moving slowly towards them.
We can hear off screen someone telling the camera person to get out, to run down the
street and go.

Grandpa Gets Stalked While it’s commonly believed that Slender
Man typically targets children or young adults, here we have a video of an alleged Slender
Man sighting in which a much older male is being stalked by the paranormal figure.
Appearing on the youtube channel Real Paranormal Videos with a 2015 copyright trademark that
reads Mary Jinninsides Paranormal videos, the video starts off with footage of outdoor
Christmas decorations.
Eventually, the camera man, presumably Mary’s grandfather, stops by a small festive looking
gazebo.
He pans to the left, then goes back to the gazebo in which we see the first sighting
of Slender Man, standing in front of the structure but clearly towering over it.
The camera then goes static, and the footage resumes, but noticeably more chaotic.
The camera man is running, we hear wind whipping by, and finally, he arrives back at what we
can only resume is his house.
He turns around, and we see nothing behind him.
As he goes for the front door, he turns once more, and that’s when we see Slender Man
for a second time.
The video goes static again, and cuts out.
2 Christine Hamlett This number is a bit different than the others
on our list.
Rather than video footage, it’s an image.
But where the image comes from is what makes it stand out compared to your typical clearly
photoshopped snaps that feature Slendy in them.
This photo was taken by a medium the name of Christine Hamlett in the woods of Cannock
Chase, Staffordshire (Stafford-sure).
She had gone to the area after four sightings of Slender Man had been reported.
Hamlett claims that she had been travelling around those woods for months, taking photos
and investigating other paranormal activities, and this discovery in this photo was chilling
and out of the ordinary compared to her other findings.
She told the press, “I couldn’t believe it.
It could well be him.
It would make sense after all these other sightings.”
One of the sightings, from a man named Pye Green, said he saw Slender Man after awakening
around 2am by an odd scratching noise in his bedroom.
He got out of bed, he found himself facing the slender man floating over him, but disappeared
momentarily afterwards.
1 April 20th 1996 This footage, while some claim is from the
80s, is taken from the inside of a car as it drives along the road in the dead of night.
At the bottom of the screen, you’ll noticed that the date is April 20th, 1996, at 9:06pm.
It’s also worth noting that a lot of old digital cameras from around that time are
pretty unreliable when it comes to the date if the user didn’t bother to enter it in
correctly.
Anywho, as this person is driving along, they spot something blocking the road, and swerve
to try to get around it.
From a distance, you can see it has a white face, and as they approach, it’s limbs become
more apparent.
That’s when the footage freezes, and a battery low warning appears on the screen.
What makes this one so chilling compared to some of the other videos that have surfaced
is the fact that it’s visibility is just clear enough to really make out the shape
of slender man in a way that the being doesn’t look all that fake.
It’s pretty eerie.
