Slender Man Stabbings: 12-Year-Olds Believed He Would Kill Their Families

Morgan Geyser, 12, one of the alleged ‘Slender Man stabbers,’ believed that Slender Man, a fictional character, would kill her family if she and friend, Anissa Weier, did not murder another of their friends. HollywoodLife.com has obtained a copy of the criminal complaint, which is filled with even more shocking statements.

Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, both 12, from Waukesha, Washington allegedly plotted to kill their best friend for over four months before allegedly attacking her in the woods and stabbing her 19 times. Both girls now face murder charges, which carry a sentence of 65 years in prison, if found guilty. In the official criminal complaint filed by the State of Wisconsin, the girls make some very bizarre statements — including their belief that Slender Man, a fictional character created on the Internet, would come to kill their families, if they did not murder their friend.

Slender Man Stabbings: Girls Believed He Was Following Them

The more we hear about this horrifying incident, the crazier it all seems.

In the official criminal complaint filed against Morgan and Anissa by the State of Wisconsin, on Monday, June 2, we learn more terrifying details of their alleged murder plot.

After the incident, Morgan allegedly told the detective who interviewed her, that her friend and alleged co-stabber, Anissa, urged her to kill their friend, or Slender Man would come and slaughter their families.

Morgan also told the detective, according to the criminal complaint, that she believed Slender Man was following her, and that she often saw him in her dreams. She also claimed that she saw him when no one else did.

When the detective asked Morgan to describe Slender Man, she told him that he can read minds, teleport, and that he had sharp “tendrils,” according to the criminal complaint.

Anissa Introduced Morgan To Slender Man Online

Morgan’s alleged co-conspirator, Anissa, was also interviewed by a detective, and her statements were equally troubling.

Not only did she tell the detective who interviewed her, according to the criminal complaint, that Slender Man was the “leader” of Creepypasta, a website that features fictional horror stories submitted by different users, but she also claimed that she wanted to be Slender Man’s “proxy.”

According to Anissa, in order to become one of Slender Man’s proxies, you must murder someone. The girls started plotting their friend’s murder, in December, 2013, according to the complaint.

Anissa also informed detectives that she is the one who introduced Morgan, to the Slender Man stories online.

Fortunately, the young girlfriend whom Anissa and Morgan allegedly attacked survived 19 brutal stab wounds, and somehow managed to crawl out of the woods to find help. She is now recovering in the hospital.

This is disgusting and I would be devastated if these were my kids. Things like this should definitely be monitored by parents. This should be a sign to parents to be more involved in what your child is doing. That little girl didnt miraculously make it out of the woods the grace of God was with her. Whoever created this “mythological” creature should be put in jail as well for corrupting the young people of our world.

I know the family and sadly it didn’t surprise me when I found out, her mom died of cancer a few months ago and the house was foreclosed about a week ago. Everything has been going to poop for the family, so I try to stay somewhat sympathetic. Anissa’s sister Sarah has been getting stalked by new reporters since it happened. The press is just as bad if not worse, for causing more problems than is needed.

not all “young people” who are interested in slenderman are violent though, he and the other creepypastas actually have a very large fanbase (of which I am a part of and use as a vent so that I can release my darker thoughts), and besides Slenderman was actually created by a mixture of different folklores from around the world and introduced into a forum by multiple people and then backstories for his mythology were introduced, you cannot blame just one person for his fame, nor can you punish people for the actions of a few fans of whom you do not know their past or family circumstances they might have just been mentally ill and under poor conditions in their families and just making an attempt to escape from the harshness but went about it completely wrong those girls should’ve been placed in a mental hospital instead of a prison

How much you wanna bet that the fathers of both Anissa and Morgan are very emotionally distant from them, neglectful, possibly abusive. So the girls “adopted” SlenderMan as their surrogate father. This is psycho 101. If the girls had a strong father figure in their life, they’d have NO need to obsess about a mythical male figure who dresses in black and is tall — the strong, father figure that these girls never had, even though physically, they have a father in the house.

As for psychiatric illness, what are the odds that two girls, unrelated to each other, share the same psychotic delusion? There’s more to this than just some kind of paranoid psychosis illness.

Let’s look at the family dynamics. Bet there’s plenty of abuse behind those closed doors. And don’t tell me that most abused kids don’t attempt murder. Sure, most do NOT. BUT…find me an abused, emotionally neglected kid who DOESN’T frequently THINK about committing violent acts, and who ISN’T obsessed about some fictitious character who serves as a surrogate parent.

Anissa’s dad is phenomenal, her mum died just a few months ago due to Cancer complications and the house was just foreclosed. There is a lot of problems going on in their family, it doesn’t justify what Anissa did but you dont need to be so rude. . .

Anissas mom is not dead.. She has a different mom then sara & will.

Waukesha, Washington?

no Wisconsin

I honestly believe that these girls may have had underlying mental conditions, I myself am a fan of creepypasta and can tell you that most of us use the horror genre to prevent ourselves from becoming violent through writing down our violent thoughts and sharing them with like minded peers. these girls must not have blurred the mental lines of fantasy and reality due to prior conditions. so instead of jail, they should be sent to therapy and be treated as required.

Its actually very possible, those who become obsessed like this suffer whats referred to as “Slender Sickness”. The symptoms include, nausea, headaches, violent outbursts, and unusual and violent paranoia. From the sound of it the girls took it too far and suffer from Slender Sickness. It’s not from being near slender man, slender man’s not real. Its from an unhealthy obsession with the made up character. Honestly an Insanity plea would likely get them the help they need.

People may not bealive in the ‘Slenderman’ but there are many facts to prove he is real pictures, articles in newspaper, drawings there everywhere. You just need to look carefully. but they think he is another myth from the internet or like aliens.

This is not the place to discuss the possibility of slender man’s existence. He’s a myth. Given the situation I’m appalled you even put this here. And with your grammar you must be a 12 year old too. So let me save you the trouble. SLENDER MAN IS NOT REAL.

“:Putnam: :poop:”

Here’s my take: one of them is a bully and the other just a dumb follower.

Totally true. Just like the Manson family. One master manipulator and stupid people who blindly follow them even if it means doing evil things. This story is super creepy especially since these girls are only 12. My heart goes out to the girl they stabbed and her family and the families of the girls who did this. This must be a nightmare for them too.
