ANOTHER SLENDERMAN IMITATION ATTACK

Slenderman

Another attack inspired by the fictitious Internet bogey Slenderman has allegedly occurred in Cincinnati (Ohio).  A girl (13), wearing a white mask, said to be fascinated with the character, is alleged to have stabbed her mother and is now in custody.  It is rumored that she claims to be unable to remember the incident.

Slenderman is the creation of Eric Knudsen, but stories about him flourish on the Internet which have no connection with his inventor.  He is depicted as having a white face, but no features.
