Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: We look at the intriguing start to the Slenderman legend, and how it evolved into not juste one real-life murder, but suicides as well. We debate whether it’s possible for an imaginary figure like Slenderman to become a reality. And we look at a possible connection between Slenderman and a real-life mystery in the 1830s.

| 0:57.8 | DHQ. Hey, Weirdos. Before we get into this episode, I wanted to let you know that I was a guest on |
| 1:03.5 | the Kind of Murdery podcast over the weekend with host Zeven Oldberg. We covered an extremely |
| 1:09.5 | dark story that I've never covered here on Weird Darkness, and we also had a great bannering |
| 1:14.3 | back and forth about a lot of topics that were personal to us. It was an hour full of dark, |

| 2:04.7 | some listeners and is intended for mature audiences only. parental discretion is strongly advised. |
| 2:22.6 | What is perhaps most interesting about the Slender Man Legends is that it is very much a case of |
| 2:28.5 | urban folklore with definite and documented origins, one that we've seen grow before our collective |
