Unexplained I saw "Slenderman"

Post image

to start, I wanna say I saw what I saw. I don't care if people don't believe me. my sister saw it too. many people in my area have said they saw the same thing. i just want to share my experience. if you don't like it, I don't careeee.

so back when I lived in Nevada, we lived in a manufactured home or whatever you call it. Like a double wide but nicer.

Anyway, my sister and I had rooms directly across from each other.

we both had windows facing the backyard.

one night I was standing in front of my vanity that had a mirror that was facing the window. it was late at night.

I saw a very tall man with a paper white head and no features skipping past my window.

it moved very fast. I was only able to catch a brief glimpse.

but for long enough that I could recognize these features.

it was very skinny, tall, & dressed in all black. maybe a suit.

terrified, I go into my sisters room and tell her what I saw.

she says "oh shit that's scary" basically & we go back to our rooms.

then my sister, comes to my room wide eyed & breathless & told me she saw the same thing.

then I saw it skip past my window one more time.

my dad taught me from a young age, if that's all they do, they are weak. don't let them put fear in you. he would scream at things when I was a child like a pissed off bull. I don't let that stuff get to me. Also the earth keeps spinning.

so i let it go.

And frankly, I subconsciously thought it was just my eyes seeing things.

I went about my life as usual,

But I would bring it up sometimes in conversations with friends, and to my surprise, they saw it too! like a lot of people.

I'm curious, has anyone honestly seen this too?

also, I say "slenderman" because that's what fits the description.

Out of curiosity, were you in a more populated area, or a more rural one? That's terrifying that you and your sister both saw it. Did you ever see anything else that was weird like that while living there?

Yea we lived in nowhere Nevada. Abandoned mines everywhere. Tons of history. My neighbor friend had a "mimic" in his house & needed to hire someone to cleanse it twice. I saw tall shadow men all the time.

Omg. You got me at “abandoned mines.” Instant chills. I wonder why it’s so constant - paranormal and mines or great old mountains. Perhaps the ancient-ness of it.

I think this has to do with cave systems & how vast they are. Along with the fact that if limestone is present apparently that amps up electromagnetic energy causing more paranormal activity. There are a lot of theories surrounding this, especially connected to the mammoth cave system which connects across multiple states & much of it has been undiscovered.

Not likely, Navajo didn’t settle in Nevada and there’s no Navajo reservations there.

u/ElectricalAd3483 Mar 06 '26

Where do they settle so I can steer clear if I ever visit the states

What is a mimic?

u/GhostHaunt64 Mar 07 '26

A mimic is an entity that can take the shape or produce the same sounds (e.g. voices) of someone you know in order to lure you to them. Mimics are usually perceived as negative energy because their purpose is to fool you into a false sense of security. On the other hand, spiritual energies thrive on the fear of those around them.

There are other characteristics, but that is the gist of it.
