He's 14 feet tall with no face and wears a black suit. He lurks in playgrounds and abducts children with the long skinny tentacles that shoot from his back.

His unnaturally long limbs ensure that he can move faster than any human, allowing him to snatch his victims quickly to his secret mansion deep inside the forest.

The Slender Man is so powerful, he can kill your families unless you pledge allegiance to him by becoming his proxy, a kind of elite follower who will in turn kill on his behalf.

What is this creature? The fictitious internet ghoul called the Slender Man.

Two 12-year-old girls from Wisconsin believed Slender Man was real and might even murder their own families if they did not kill someone themselves to appease him.

The girls, best friends Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weir knew exactly who they would kill for Slender Man.

They spent six months plotting the murder of their other best friend, 12-year-old Peyton Lutner.

This was the only way they could prove their worth to Slender Man.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Seruti and we are the hosts of a Red Handed, a weekly true crime podcast.

Every week on Red Handed, we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

From the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Short Hand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior.

Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Red Handed wherever you get your podcasts and access our bonus Short Hand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

From Wondry and Tree Fort, I'm Candice D'Long and this is the second season of Killer Sighting.

I've spent five decades studying people's minds through my work as an FBI profiler and psychiatric nurse.

I've interviewed lots of murderers, including serial killers, and the question of why they did it is what I get asked time and time again.

It is difficult to get a satisfying answer without diving deep into their mindsets.
