Two young girls in Wisconsin were arrested for not
being able to tell fact from fiction. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier
stabbed a 12 year old girl they knew multiple times in a wooded area
who were attempting to prove that a video game character named
Slenderman was real. A biker happened across the victim just outside
the woods on the side of the road called for police. The girls names
have been revealed because they are both going to be tried as adults
and charged with first degree intentional homicide. Usually in cases
like this kids aren't tried as adults and their names are kept
secret. The girl who was stabbed is in stable condition. “Many
people do not believe Slenderman is real and we]wanted to prove the
skeptics wrong” one of the girls told police.
Weier told police that she learned
about Slenderman on a website called Creepy Pasta and then showed it
to her equally crazy friend Geyser. The girls had planned to kill the
victim for months and attempted to kill her last Saturday stabbing
her 19 times. After stabbing her they walked through Nicolet National
Forest for a while looking for the mansion that Slenderman lived in.
Afterward, they planned on getting treats from the witches'
gingerbread house, strolling down the yellow brick road, and catch
the Muffin Man because fuck living in reality.
