Journal Entry #40 - The OTHER man in the woods

May 22^nd, 2013 - 7:24 Pm

I went to the woods yesterday. What started as a search for the Slenderman ended up turning into something completely different.

I went back to the lake I found. Looking in my mirror, I did not see Slender. I decided to sit a bit and take in a little bit of nature. It was amazing how scary a beautiful place like this could become, all because of one man. One man can make such a difference it seems.

I took my shoes and socks off and dipped my toes into the lake. Upon touching the water’s surface, I reeled my legs back. The water was warm! It felt amazing! I slowly put my hand in and let the warm water soak my palm. That’s when I noticed something shine at the bottom of the lake. Interestingly enough, the lake was extremely clear, and I was able to see most of the plants and such at the bottom, as well as a metallic rod shaped object. So I did what most sensible people would do.

I stripped my shirt off and dove in.

My, the water felt wonderful. I wanted to stay here forever. But I swam to the bottom and grabbed the object. Once on shore, I examined it. It was a key. A big fat, bronze key.

I looked up. I wish I hadn’t. There, from the other side of the lake, a man was staring right at me. It wasn’t Slender. It was… something else. A man in a mask. I whipped out my cell-phone and snapped a picture, but he disappeared. Somehow, I managed to catch him in the picture as he ran away, but I missed the face.

 The biggest thing I noticed was his white face, and black eyes. Something told me I’d be seeing him more often.

I left the woods in no hurry. I wasn’t very disturbed by what I had seen. Just curious, and more annoyed with even more questions that needed to be answered.

I’ll be doing some more research tomorrow, and will update asap.

Until then…
