Slenderman and the Knight
The following was taken from a journal found in the ruins of a 16th century castle in Germany. Though it does not mention what battle is was, historical records indicate the Siege of Vienna of 1529. It has been translated for your convenience.
The war took a toll on many of us. We pushed back the Ottoman Empire, a miracle. I never kept a journal before or during the war, but I feel as though I should.
On the last days of the war, we thought that the Ottoman's were going to break through our walls. A creature, the likes of which none of us had ever seen before, walked towards out gates. We loosed many arrows, but to no avail, they simply went through him.
We came to call this creature "the Tall Man". (originally written as Der Grosse Man) We feared for our very lives, for we knew if that creature broke though out walls, we would have surely lost. It had stopped midway through the field and stood there. We watched it for a few hours, but there it stayed, unmoving, unflinching. None of us slept that night.
As the sun rose, the creature ran full speed, faster than any horse I've seen, into the woodline. During the battle that day, atop my horse, I caught glimpses of the creature in the woods in the distance, watching us, judging us. While we won the battle, I sit here with a knot of dread in my stomach. I can't help but feel he... She.... It is still watching me as I write this. I pray to God Almighty to save me from this creature.
Two days have passed since I wrote my account. I was out hunting today and I saw the creature again. I dropped my bow and quiver and ran for safety. All the while I ran, I could feel it following me. I made it back into town and turned around, only to see it right at the edge of the tree line.
I tripped and fell over onto my back. I heard foot steps running towards me. One of the town guards asked if I was alright. I looked into the woods, then back at him. I told him the Tall Man was in the woods. His skin turned pale, because he was there when the creature appeared on the battlefield,
I pray to our Savior, the Lord Yahweh to save my soul from this creature. To whomever may find this, be it one hundred years or more from now, know that this creature is real. I pray for your soul if it comes for you
The man that translated this has gone missing. He has been missing for about 2 months now, while he translated it 5 months ago. It is highly unlikely that Slenderman had a direct hand in his disappearance, more likely is he committed suicide from the paranoia. The investigation is still open.
