You may not have heard of Slender Man until the news broke this week that two young Wisconsin girls allegedly stabbed a friend 19 times, with the motive of trying to please the fictional character. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says Slender Man first appeared online in 2009 and quickly grew into a popular Internet meme featured in stories, web series, online games, podcasts and parodies.
