“Explanation and Origins of the Slenderman Legends”

“…this is back, that other stuff. I can’t really say, but I mean they’re black and white fricken pictures, so you it’s like, at least twenty, thirty years old, [he chuckles] more, that these myths come from, I think it was, ah, uh, don’t quote me on this at all but, I think, the forties probably? Me: I might quote on you on it, but-- Dane : Yeah. Me: (yeah). [we laugh a lot] Me: Forties? Dane: So, I never looked up the time period, but, like, they were pretty old school pictures. So.

But some of them were too young that they wouldn’t run away. And it probably could have just been a kidnapping, maybe there just literally was a man, or a group of people. Wha-I have read other people, in their, comments, who say, no, slenderman is not a group of people, that are kidnapping children, for whatever purposes, or sick means.
