Re-reading this thread again reminding me of this video (I'm sure most have seen).
And this also came up
Looks like someone walking in a cloak in a good wind. You can see the fabric billow at the hem across the entire figure.

Is it because we want to believe because believing is more fun than not believing?
IamSundog said:The video is fake because the cameraman starts out pointing at the surface of the building where the creature is going to be walking before the creature arrives there. Which indicates that the cameraman knew where the creature was going to go ahead of time...because he/she was going to place it there with their software. If there were a real creature, the cameraman would start out focusing on the creature itself and then follow it wherever it went, with no apparent foreknowledge of its path.
The same mistake betrays many a fake UFO video. "Oh I was just videotaping nothing in particular for no reason whatsoever and suddenly this strange vehicle appeared!"

birdy said:I thought Black Stick Man pre-dated the internet sensation that is Slenderman? I had just assumed that Slendie is an urban myth/meme that had some roots in Stick Man-like stories.
SHAYBARSABE said:Slenderman is completely different, and made-up. He's not a black stick figure, just really, really tall.
HenryFort said:I thought he also wears a black suit and has super long arms sometimes interpreted as tentacles ?
