dafug?! i just went to look on your meme to look up the origin of the slenderman and the first thing that popped up on the front page front page was an article on the slenderman! that's really creepy.
http://knowyourmeme.com/videos/35332-slender-mananyways as i was saying the slendermen originated as a just a contest to come with a photoshop monster. but after that he didn't just stay a monster he quickly grew to a huge fanbase and became his own mythos. then very apparent "proof" appeared. yes i state my sources.
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/slender-mannow let's look at herobrine. Herobrine was just a one picture of finding herobrine and a foggy screenshot. Notch even denied his existence. But soon after that he soon too began to appear all around with a "fanbase", supposed sightings and "proof" of his existence. even in the update logs it said that it had removed herobrine from the game even though he kept coming back in the next update.
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/herobrineso my theoroy is this. what if at first the "creatures" at first they did not exist but then after they were created they took on a life of their own and forced themselves into our reality.
take the pokemon black story
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pokémon-creepy-black
at first it was just a story but then it took a life of it's own. ounce it was released into the public the idea spread to internet which then "infected" them with the idea of pokemon black. the idea then finally reached a couple of good modders who had the creativity to make the game. the idea
created itself using the people to make and replicate itself into our reality. In short it
grew a life of it's own. here's a link to an actual copy of the game

you see what i mean? these things are creating a life of their own! they now exist thanks to using other people to create itself into our reality. god knows they've probably already created a herobrine mod.
Sincerely yours,
