Yet ANOTHER story that has a Slenderman tie in is making news today.. we reported hours ago that a girl in Ohio who was fascinated by ‘Slenderman’ tried to stab her mother.. this after a Wisconsin stabbing a week ago by two 12-year-olds who wanted to visit Slenderman at his forest mansion.. And now this: A shooting occurred Sunday in Las Vegas.. Two right wing extremists yelled “this is a revolution” before they killed two police officers.  Then they ran into a Walmart and a killed a shopper before the wife killed her husband and then herself.. 

The couple reportedly named: Jerad and Amanda Miller (no official confirmation on the names yet). A neighbor told media that they dressed as the JOKER and Harley Quinn… and the Jerald reportedly dressed as Slenderman…..

A manifesto has apparently been found..

This is getting bizarre.. for a few reasons.

First off, this is not the first time the JOKER has been a meme involved in a crime.. nor, obviously, is it the first time that Slenderman has been, either.. 

Consider this: Clyde Lewis’ GROUND ZERO radio program had a show on May 1 2014 about Slenderman..  Lewis argued that Slenderman was a modern tulpa and warned that more and more information about Slenderman would make the mainstream.  Lewis may have been on to something.. 

Things are getting strange..

I am always perplexed by the ‘coincidences’ that fill our headlines and litter our histories..

Things that should not happen simply because the rare occasion of them occurring would need stars to line up and miracles (or the opposite) to occur.

One such event made news in Texas.. A head-on collision took place on Road 87 North and FM 2379. Both drivers were pronounced dead.. both drivers, in separate cars, were married.. the husband and wife had their respective lives extinguished at the hands of each other..

There are three children that survive without a mother and father now. A tragic accident.. a strange series of events that caused both to be at the wrong place at the right time.. both now dead at the hands of some force or fate that often destroys people and ruins lives.

With is this yin and yang we call life? What is this series of unfortunate events we call coincidence? Hearts out to the grieving relatives and friends..

But I am still amazed and confused of the chances of this occurring and the fact that it did..

Last week the nation was shocked when two Wisconsin pre-teens attempted to murder their friend by stabbing her 19 times in a forest .. Their defense: They were trying to become the children of Slenderman and wanted to sacrifice someone to do it.. in recent days, people have learned everything they never wanted to know about the fictitious character..

And now: A new crime is just as shocking the media tells us.. and again, a child is using Slenderman as the reason for a stabbing. According to reports from this weekend, an Ohio mom said that her daughter’s knife attack was inspired by the net creation Slenderman.  The mother said that her daughter ‘was someone else’ during the stabbing.. the mother said her daughter had a fascination with Slenderman..  The 13-year-old girl is now in a juvenile detention center..

The girl already had mental issues, according to the mom interviewed..

The HORROR REPORT wrote about the original attempted murder, and said that we hoped the original Slenderman stabbing did not create a pattern or trend.. This new crime is causing some to wonder if it did..

There is one caveat to mention.. I am not really sure if all these teens are just not right in the head or if the news media is trying to cash in on a new trend. The local report on this latest Slenderman stabbing does not clearly tie the girl who stabbed her mother to the horror character, and even further there appeared to be mental problems already.. But Slenderman?? This quote from the local station made me doubt:

“She had her hood up and had her hands covered with her sleeves and the mask,” the mother said.

Unless I am completely out of the loop, I was not aware of Slenderman having a mask.. Unless it’s one of the homemade jobs that you can find yourself online, Slenderman does not have a face.. not a feature. He is pale and without any actual facial structure.. So this mom could have mistaken another mask for Slenderman? Perhaps Ghostface.. Michael Myers?  Also this: During the one scene of the news media report on the mom saying her daughter was drawing ‘disturbing images’ a drawing of anime was shown.. Hardly disturbing or a sign of monsters lurking within..

Also … did the mother purchase the mask for her daughter with the issues already?I think calm discernment is necessary for this story…

And as usual, the media is meshing together two stories. The stabbings in Wisconsin were clearly a result of Slenderman addiction.. this new stabbing? Not as clear..

Some may think questioning this mother would be unfair–but this mom went to the news media herself and advertised the story, without showing her face or naming a name..

I think we are about to endure a massive trend of news media telling us to be afraid of a Net Boogeyman that may not exist.. Slenderman does not exist.. and  trend of stabbings may not either–but a big brunt of news coverage will ..
