Terrifying urban legends from across the country
It's not that spooky stories and urban legends only exist in October, you're just thinking about them a lot more when Halloween comes around. Below, 3 of the creepiest stories to have come to light in recent years -- from a satanic airport to real-life haunted house.
Slender Man
The story of the Slender Man first gained notoriety in 2009 on an online forum and spread through the internet like wildfire. The Slender Man is an extremely tall, lanky man who wears a black suit, but has no face, and claw-like fingers that stretch in supernatural ways.
He made headlines after two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin allegedly held down and stabbed a classmate 19 times. The girls reportedly claimed that they wished to commit a murder as a first step to becoming "proxies" for the Slender Man.
