SO IT TURNS OUT THAT I HAVE HAD DEALINGS WITH THIS FUCKER, BEFORE.
Aahahahahahaha, Q_Q
So, years and YEARS AGO (high school, at least, since one of us had a driver's license) my best friend and I took turns living at each other's houses. Honestly, we went everywhere together, and our parents came to accept that they had somehow gained another child.
We also didn't sleep a lot, so late night walks and Taco Bell runs were not at all uncommon.
After one of these runs, we were driving back to her house for the night. We both lived in heavily wooded neighborhoods, so the streets were pretty dark, even with street lamps and light pollution.
At the start of her driveway was a large oak tree.
On this particular night, we drove past this oak tree and, out of the corner of our eyes, saw something.
It was man-shaped, tall and dark and standing straight and still against the trunk of the tree. It was only for a moment, and we were quickly past the tree and pulling up to her house. But we both immediately turned to one another and asked if the other had seen something.
We both described what we'd seen, independent of the other's input, and our experience was identical. We'd seen something, and that something wasn't normal.
Thoroughly freaked, we dashed inside and have come to call this... thing the 'Creepy Tree Man'.
And now we have a new name for it.
I am quite aware of Slender Man's artificial origins and exactly how mental this sounds, but there is no doubt in my mind that my friend and I saw something, and calling it the Slender Man is as good as an explanation as any.
And now that we've made this realization, neither of us are sleeping ever again.
