The truth is Ⓧut there
It’s not safe anywhere anymore.
I’ve been on the move again

I’m still here, I’ve been traveling. I’m not going to say where I am now, but backpacking through mountainous areas tends to make it hard to find internet service.

He’s still there. People must think I’ve gone mad. I know I’ve been jumpier than normal, and I know it’s dangerous to ride with strangers, but it’s safer than staying in one place.

Even though he’s always there.

Good News

I think the Salt is working.

Slenderman likes to disappear for the longest times, and when he comes back to watch the House he gets closer every time. I think he’s just playing Cat and Mouse, trying to scare me out of my mind. Maybe fear makes us taste better?

Today he was practically right outside my window, but when he went for one of his absences I spread a circle of salt all around the place I’m renting out. He came back and he’s standing a few feet away again.

So I think it’s working for now.

Or maybe he’s just playing a whole new game.

Oh god. I just recently looked up stuff on Slender Man and now i'm a bit creepified. I just started following you and i'm going to begin to read your stuff now. I get paranoid and take everything way too literal. ...Your blog is going to make me shit bricks and probably make me piss myself.

Well, to be honest, it’s safer if you don’t believe anything you read on my blog.

If you haven't already, you could try reading Zeke Strahm's blog/s... If only for some inspiration to not give up. Which you shouldn't do. In the words of Zeke himself 'Make the fucker work for his food'. I'm not going say He's not powerful, because he is. But the more you fear him, the more he can do. I wish I could do more to help. I'll make sure to tell you if I come across anything that may help you. But chances are you'll already know some basic do's and don'ts. Stay strong, your not alone.

Oh yes, I have noticed one thing, by pure luck really.

My friend was into Wicca and she told me once that Salt wards off bad spirits. Well it doesn’t seem to stop him but when I used it to surround one of my apartments it took him longer to show up.

Maybe it was a coincidence. I’m going to try it again, though, because you’re right. I’m not going to give up. As for Zeke’s blog, I will definitely look at it.

Well I would say it makes sense... but it would be dangerous (then again what isn't when it comes to Him?) I would just say use it only if you have too. Because there is always the chance you'll go in a trance and He'll just reel you in against your will. I would recommend researching Him as much as you can. Something that is often said along side the 'seeing Him dulls his power' theory is that The Operator Symbol can be used to sometimes 'trick' Him to thinking he's being watched. Worth a shot?

When I met him in the woods for the second time the Operator symbol was carved into my ankle, I’m not exactly sure how. It wasn’t deep, but you can see it.

It is worth a shot, I’ll keep the staring theory for last. If nothing else works then I have nothing left to lose. I’d rather be in a trance than… Nevermind.

I’m so tired lately it’s hard for me to think straight. I don’t know if it’s him or because I’m just too scared to sleep.

I saw him again today. Once more in my sleep and once in my back yard. I feel as if its getting worse. I cant take my mind off him. How do you deal with it? I want to go to him everytime i see him. Is that normal. I want to see what he wants. Will it be dangerous if i go?

It’s extremely dangerous. Slenderman is dangerous, it could be for any reason, I do not presume to guess his motives.

I deal with it with this, telling others. If I at least get my story out there I know others will be more prepared.

As for if it is normal? Yes and no. You’re terrified but you’re also extremely curious, you want to know but… It’s better not to.

But it’s still almost unbearable. He’s been getting closer. I think I have only a few days left tops.

And then we’ll see what comes…

I’ve been preparing. Even if I die I won’t go down easily. I’ll fight until I can no longer fight.

Don't mention it, I'm just trying to do what I can to help anyone who needs it. Whilst attempting to stay on the 'viewing' side of the looking glass as it were. I'm not sure whether it's a definite defence, but people say that if someone is looking at him, he can't use the full extent of his abilities. At least temporarily. So if your looking at him, he can not simply vanish and re-appear behind you. Because it ties him to our reality a bit more than normal, or something along those lines...

So if he’s there, if I keep staring at him and try my hardest to not blink, it might be able to give me some more time?

Well this kind of makes sense, after all seeing is believing which makes it more real, if he’s “more real” then I suppose maybe he can’t use the more “unrealistic” abilities?

I’ll see if I can find anything about this later, for now I have to move to somewhere else. There’s not enough people here right now for my tastes.

d00000d i know exacaly what you mean. well what i do for my mind to get off him so i wont give him power, is that i always distract myself with like youtube videos. oe watching family guy or something interesting. if he really wanted you, you would be dead.... im just like trying to give you advice. i think hes one of those things where you have to give the power for him to get you and torture you. please, do something. if you wake up, dont open your eyes. keep them shut!!!

… I’m trying. I really am. I’ll try to distract myself with videos, but I’m afraid I find myself glancing towards windows and corners too often for my own liking. 

Have you ever been really scared, I don’t mean just a little bit where you get chills but then your minds off it a few seconds later. I mean the kind of scared you get when you’re alone, in the dark, in the middle of the woods. The kind of scared where you try to tell yourself you’re completely safe, there’s no such thing as a boogie man.

But your hearts beating like crazy, and you walk a little faster, you find yourself glancing around you because you hear noises.

And you know you may be irrational, and you try to talk yourself out of being scared, but on the inside your trembling with terror?And you just know a mass murderer will jump out from behind the tree up ahead?

That’s how I feel every second of my life.

I'm not going to bother with doing this anonymously. Regardless of what other people think, I seriously doubt that hiding a profile picture would prevent him from knowing who you are. Now I can't be sure, no one really can with him. But from what I've heard. Get up high. Sleep on the tops of buildings when you can... from some reason that can some times help. I'll try and gather some more potential helpful info, but I recommend reading the Blog 'The Tutorial'. It's helped others in the past.

Thank you, any help I can get is… well helpful. And you’re right. Hiding a profile picture will probably not be much help. At all.
