~The following is a journal of the observations and actions of the creature known as "Slender Man", recorded by said creature~

~The journal was recorded in a language and form very different from anything known to humankind; the author has done her best to transcribe the documents into English~

~Many words in the documents have no true equivalent in any human language; in such cases, the best-fitting word is used and marked with box parentheses~

~A few words in the documents cannot be translated into human language at all; such words appear in the documents as "[untranslatable]"~

~The author would like to reassure any readers of these documents that she is not a Proxy, and has had little actual contact with "Slender Man"~
