Why is Herobrine so scary. Is it because he spawns deadly animals? Is it because he gives you nightmares? IS it because he makes TNT traps? Or is it because he uses all those abilities to kill you. Herobrine was actually a Steve. So Steve and Notch were mining in one dark night where night terrors wait to nibble on your flesh or eat you alive or eat your brains. Steve kept mining and mining stone waiting for diamond until he gave up. Then he decided to mine one more block and just found diamond. He was so happy. Then a creeper creeped up behind him and blew up! He lost all his diamonds. Notch just ran out of the cave and left him there to blow up. So Steve came back as a ghost to find Notch and kill him. The only reason Herobrine would haunt a player is because they disturbed Herobrine from finding Notch. Once a player has killed Herobrine, they are forever safe from him unless the player disturbs the clones Herobrine made to keep the search on. Notch thought Herobine was a fake myth created by hackers and it ended up being true. He is watching you No kidding. Herobrine has also stole my stuff. He stole my diamond sword, my diamonds, and some of my wooden planks. BE AWARE!!!
