Some things keep getting added to the Slender Man in Mythology and Culture page, and I wanted to point them out.

I'm only going to list ones I know for sure are fake...

First fake:

The Faceless One

The Faceless One is a lullaby that dates back to 18th century Wales. It was created by parents as a way of scaring their children into being obediant, and to warn them away them from the forests, as children often disappeared in the night and were found in the forest, mutilated almost beyond recognition.

'Hush, thy childe, do not stray far from the path,

or The Faceless One shall steal you away to Fairieland.

He preys on sinful and defiant souls,

and lurks within the woods.

He has hands of ebony branches,

and a touch as soft as silk.

Fear The Faceless One thy childe,

for he shall take you to a dark place.

And what shall become of thou?

Noone knows, so be good, thy little one-

Alas! He is here to take thou' away!

Why it's fake:

First off, the word "you" wasn't in use while the words "thy" and "thou" were still in use. Second, "thy" is possessive. "thy childe" would mean "your child" The writer obviously mistook the word "thy" for another form of "my"

"Thou" turned out to be more...iffy than I thought. Thou was an unlikely word choice for the whole thing... "thee" would have been a better choice.

Oh, and let's not forget the description, which is OBVIOUSLY a creepypasta, and the "lullaby" was tailored towards the Slenderman mythos.

Second Fake:

Der Ritter

Why it is fake:

It has already been revealed to be photoshopped. The Woodcut Der Ritter NEVER had extra limbs.

Here's the comparison:

Fake number three:

Schlankwald

First off, the article got it wrong.... Schlankwald means "black forest" it is not the name of a creature

Second...it OBVIOUSLY IS A CREEPYPASTA

Seriously, no one wrote stuff like that back then!!! The worst creatures did was eat people!!!

Also, if it was REALLY translated from German...it wouldn't still rhyme.

Now let's look at some things that are real...but have nothing to do with Slenderman

False connection 1:

Windigo

Why it is false:

No... just no. The Windigo was usually described as looking a lot more like bigfoot.... the only reason people think there is a connection was because some people who knew nothing about either The Windigo or Slenderman decided to make an internet film..... tying both together.

False connection 2:

Biblical

Antioch, an ancient, magnificient Roman city, was a chief center of early Christianity, as reported in Acts 11:26. South of the city, a citadel at the foot of Mount Silpius displayed a huge carving of a faceless head, which pagans held was Charon, a deity who damned souls to the Underworld.

Why it is false:

First off, Charon has nothing to do with the Bible. He's Greek/Roman.

Second...HE WAS JUST A FERRYMAN!!!

He's from Greek Mythology, and Charon doesn't Da(r)n anyone!

Here's how it works:

He runs a boat service to the underworld.You wand to go to the underworld...it's the only afterlife there is in Greek mythology (no, it is not Hell)

But you have to pay him.

So you're buried with a coin under your tongue so you can go the the underworld instead of wandering in misery forever.

Also, he was not depicted as a faceless being... he's usually depicted as either a skeleton, or an old man.

That's all for now. Will add more later.
