For those of you who want to know more about the following events, refer to my first entry here. I am quite familiar with the subject of Slenderman, as he has recently become an interest of mine. Recently meaning before this first incident. I've watched the marble hornet videos and I have researched him on plenty of websites, but I always kept the context that he was a fake myth made on the internet for a good scare. Not anymore. This incident and the events I am about to post below have shifted my opinion on what this thing really is.

I went over to my friend's place around 9:30 this night to hang out eat and play cards. After we had played a couple games we were all feeling pretty hungry, so I volunteered to go fetch us some dinner. I just filled up my tank and I like being the courteous one of the group. After I left the apartment complex I thought I saw someone standing by our door. It looked like my friend Eric (name changed for anonymity reasons) so I just waved and went on my way.

About a mile down the road, My car suddenly felt extremely cold. This didn't surprise me too much as the air outside was freezing and the temperature setting on my a/c was in the blue zone. I turned it to just slightly in the red zone and kept going. Not one minute later I suddenly felt the chill again. I checked the temperature. Still in the red zone. My care was blasting cold air. I shut the fans off and the air kept blasting. Luckily I was near the restaurant and wouldn't have to suffer through this for long.

I made it the the restaurant and got out quickly. I was facing the car as I was backing out of the car and I bumped into someone. I jerked around only to find an empty parking space. I brushed off the chill this gave me and went to get the food. I got the food no problem. As I was collecting the food, I looked out the window and saw this shape next to my car. I got very angry, thinking it was a car thief. I went running out the door trying to drive him off. I'm a fairly tough looking guy, despite me not being to tall, but If you saw me charging at you, you would have know it wouldn't be an easy fight. As soon as I crossed the door's threshold however, the shape was gone. At this point, I was extremely on edge.

The car's a/c was finally functioning normally when I got back in, but the entire ride back I couldn't help but feel watched. But nothing happened for the rest of the night I spent at my friend's place.

Finally, around 1 AM I decided it was time for me to head back to my dorm and get some sleep. Right across the street from the apartment complex my friend lives in is an old radio tower, fenced off for danger/vandalizing purposes. As I was pulling out, I thought I saw someone on the other side of the fence. It was a left turn back to my dorms so I was able to pull out farther and get a better look at the guy. When the lights hit the shape, I instantly wished I hadn't gotten a better look.

It was a tall skinny man in a reservoir dogs/men in black style business suit. He looked at least 6 feet tall, probably more. Very pale skin. I could tell his skin was pale because there were absolutely no facial features to distort or shade his skin tone. Even with no face, I could feel that thing's "eyes" or however it perceived the world piercing me as I turned left. I sped up as soon as I was in the right lane and hurried off.

There is an underpass right before the turn onto my campus and I was just reaching it a few minutes later. At this point, I was twitching my head left and right, constantly on the look out for that thing. Then I saw it. Between the two roads passing over me I saw a towering figure. The headlights of the cars above flashed constantly on that thing's blank canvas of a face. I could see it's head turning to follow my car as I passed. Again I sped off and got back on campus.

I finally made it to the hall my room is on. I swiped my key card to get into the hall and I felt a chill rush onto me from down the hall. I got extremely nervous instantly and began power walking to my room. Suddenly, just as I turned the corner of the hall, I see a black skinny blur come right at my face. The sting of cloth rubbed roughly against my face as I was knocked to the floor. I panicked at hopped up as fast as I could to see what did it. Nothing. I spun around completely to get a full view of the hall. Still nothing. I began power walking again. As I'm opening my room, I felt a hard shove and I flew into my room and hit hard tile floor. I slowly turned around and saw that tall dark silhouette right outside my door. Then the door shut quickly and loudly in front of me and I crawled desperately back into my room.

It's been almost 3 hours since this occurred. I'm shaking so badly right now. I've been researching Slenderman and have not yet found anything on getting him to stop stalking you. I know you guys are familiar with these stories. If you have any advice on how to rid myself of this creature, please tell me. I probably won't sleep tonight. I don't want to. I'm afraid I'll dream of him, which happens very closely to the time of a victim's disappearance. I also don't want to give this thing a chance to be near me when I'm vulnerable. Please help. I'm desperate.
