On May 30, Morgan Geyser celebrated her 12th birthday by having a sleepover with Anissa Weier and another friend identified only as P.L., both of whom are also 12. But the real point of the get-together was to sacrifice the third girl to Slender Man by stabbing her to death, police said in their report. Slender Man is a fictional character on the horror story site Creepypasta, where users share their nightmares and other short stories “designed to unnerve and shock the reader.” Slender Man “is an alleged paranormal figure purported to have been in existence for centuries, covering a large geographic area.” He induces fear and ensnares his prey, putting his victims into a hypnotized state, then “he absorbs, kills, or merely takes his victims to an undisclosed location or dimension” and is rumored to kill children “almost exclusively.” Slender Man is also believed to be the leader of Creepypasta, and just below him is the killer and below the killer is the proxy. “Weir stated in order to be a proxy, you needed to kill a person. This would show your dedication to [Slender Man],” court documents said. “Weir stated that many people do not believe [Slender Man] is real and she stated she wanted to prove the skeptics wrong.” The two 12-year-olds began plotting to become proxies in December or January, and selected the date - Geyser’s birthday - in February.
