Slenderman is fictional character that appears in online ghost and horror stories. He's described as a tall, thin man with a blank face and tentacle-like arms. Urban legend maintains that Slenderman preys on children and has teleportation powers.
Not only did the girls believe he was real, police said, they were convinced the only way to get in his good graces was to kill someone too. But Slender Man isnât real. And their friend, a 12-year-old girl named Payton Leutner, survived being stabbed with a large kitchen knife 19 times. The Slender Man stabbing case would go on to not only rock the Waukesha community, but shock people across the United States and internationally. It would also put a spotlight on Slender Manâs massive cult-like following. In an ABC News 20/20 exclusive, Payton and her parents, Stacie and Joe Leutner, opened up for the first time about recovering from the horrific ordeal.
