Today, my little sister came home crying because someone had shown her a video about the Slender Man. Trying to calm her down, I explained to her that he wasn't real, just like Santa Claus. She looked up at me and said "Santa's not real?" It's been 3 hours, and she hasn't stopped crying. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML
Today, my 8-year-old came home from school crying. Apparently her teacher told the whole class to write about how they felt when they learned that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. FML
Today, while my boyfriend and I were talking with his sister-in-law about a TV show, his 6-year-old nephew walked up just in time to hear how Santa killed the protagonist's parents. I've never seen such a heartbroken face in my life, and now he won't stop asking if Santa kills people. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML
Today, my fifteen year-old son decided to tell his little five year-old sister that Santa isn't real. She now refuses to talk to any of us and thinks "her whole life is a lie". FML
Today, my daughter ran up to an old man with a white beard and a red sweater because she thought he might be Santa. He was a homeless dude, drunk at 9 in the morning. He told her to either give him money or f**k off, then screamed at her that "Santa’s not real, grow up r*tard." She’s still crying FML
Today, I went to a Christmas-themed amusement park with my 21-year-old autistic sister who adores Christmas. She took her picture with Santa and started crying happy tears. Then Santa asked her loudly, "Aren't you beyond old enough to know I'm not real?" Vacation ruined. FML
Today, my older sister forced me to tell my nephews, 8 and 6, that Santa Claus does not exist, because she was recently fired from her job and is too much of a coward to tell them she will no longer give them any Christmas gifts for the foreseeable future. FML
Today, I took my 5-year old daughter to get a photo taken with Santa, when she asked the dreaded question of why this Santa looked different from one at the other store. Before I could placate her, some cunt of a kid yelled, "Because he's not real, dumbass!" FML

Oh great. First she gets the shit scared out of her, and then you ruin her childhood. Why don't you just tell her there's no Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy and get it over with.

My parents never told me he if Santa was real or not. They just bought presents and let me assume they were from him.

In 2009 SA forum launched a competition to create a paranormal phenomenon. Slendy was one of the entries. A back story developed, fabricated evidence, and so began Slenderman as one of the greats of internet memes. People became obsessed, a fake documentary was made, and seeing as SA forums, (SomethingAwful Forums) isn't exactly the biggest forum on the web, not many people heard of it's origin. A lot of people still believe Slendy to be real. But a little research quickly proves he's fiction. Of course, the creator was something of a genius. Slenderman is pretty awesome!

He has been in German mythology also. Like Bigfoot or Nessie just one of those things people are curious about.

45- I believe the German mythology you refer to was also fabricated. It came in the form of a woodcutting, by an artist who was most famed for realistic cuttings, and the appearance of a beast, similar to slender's description, was unusual for the artist. There's an article about 100 pages in on the google search for SlenderMan where a historian proves the cutting is fake.

Trust me, he is the scariest dude out there! I couldn't sleep for a week. Even though he stalks little kids in the forest, I still freak out because of him

Check out Der Gobbman or Der Grossman same story different spelling. Yes, I know of the wood cutting story. Creepypasta also has good stories fiction yes, but still a good scare.

Should have used another example... This is sort of a YDI, but I guess we all say stuff without thinking sometimes.
