Still Nothing

I still have not heard anything from my brother. He's not at his apartment, he's not contacting anyone anyone outside of the blog. We've reported him missing but there's no leads. If anyone finds out anything, please send me a message. And Charles, if you read this, please come home. We're all worried about you.

I read his newest post.  The list is a series of names of various creatures. What's significant is they are or were all, as the first name indicates, types of bogeymen from various cultures. They are beings from myths, legends, and folktales made to scare people, in most cases children. Anyone familiar with the Slender Man knows where he fits into that. All this obviously leads in to his lines about fear, and must be connected to the previously rantings on fear. But what is the significance of it all? Is he scared, or does he think he's warning someone, and in  either case why? And what of? This can't just be about some online stories.

Finally, again, Charles, please, you need help, if you're scared your family will help you.

Apparition

He appeared again, the Bogeyman that is. I had been in a nearby town with a friend yesterday and we were driving home, each in our separate vehicles. My friend had driven pretty far ahead of me as we were driving through some back roads. Now I have been paranoid recently so driving alone in the dark was already disconcerting, but I felt a wave of this irrational, primal dread. I hit this stretch of road surrounded by trees on either side, and I stopped being able to see my friends tail lights ahead of me, and my music in the car stopped playing. Then, my headlights dimmed to where I could barely see the road ahead of me. That's when He appeared in front of my car. Filled with Fear, I sped up, attempting to run him over, but His distance from my car did not change. I was shocked to the point I took my foot off the gas. When the Car slowed down, He did not move farther away, no matter what I did, the distance between me and Him would not change. Then He spoke with no face. Or maybe He put the voice in my head to communicate. The worst part was the voice. It was that of a child. A small girl's voice to be exact. The voice said to me "You can't escape your Fear." It had no emotion in it. Like it was a fact, not a threat. "It will consume you as it always does, no one escapes." A new voice joined it, this one more ominous, primordial, but still with no emotion, positive or negative. "I am as old Life and Death. I am your race's Creation and Creator . I am because you are."

After that everything was to normal, my heavy metal was playing, my lights were bright, my car had stopped, and my friend had pulled over. He asked if I was ok and said I had nearly driven off the road. I told him I was fine, just tired. He slowed down and kept me in his sight the rest of the drive home. I write all this down as a record, and also keep a paper journal as backup. I hope someone reads this and can help decipher all this insanity. And most of all, so I might sort it out before I go insane.

The Fear

It seems to me people are really scared. Humanity as a whole is truly Frightened to it's core. How can I tell? Basic human behavior. We get scared, we panic, and lash out. The true reason behind much of today's chaos, from riots, to increasing in religious, spiritual, and supernatural beliefs are a cause of this root Fear. Funny part? We don't even know why we're scared. Sure you can blame economic uncertainty, terrorists, war, natural disasters, and a million other things. We live in a horrible world and there is much to Fear. But the truth? This Fear goes much deeper than all of that. When it comes to Fear that which appears to be cause may well be effect, and that which appears to be effect is often cause. Humanity is slowly being stricken to their core with Fear and superstition the likes of which have been unseen in ages. It has been a long time since we believed in Monsters. Perhaps we are learning why.

Lovecraft

Reading the cosmic horror stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Something about them got me a little freaked out. Especially those of Nyarlathotep, H.P.'s humanoid abomination spreading chaos across earth, serving Azathoth, the great blind idiot god. Nyarlathotep is often described as a tall "dark man" and also refered to as "the Faceless God". However, he is also called "The Crawling Chaos" and "The Mighty Messenger" and has over a thousand forms.He is known for driving people that interact with him insane, killing them, or worse. All considering, something about all this is rather unnerving.

The Child part 2

Did some research on the girl. Turns out Em was right about one thing, black eyed kids have been seen everywhere. But there's more. They are often thought to be spirits of kids that have died in horrible unexpected ways, (fires, drownings, etc,) or disappeared mysteriously. I dug in some more and found that many sightings of a tall, faceless, slender man were seen in areas near black eyed kid sightings. I looked through some town archives and asked around, a young girl disappeared several years ago, last seen in the park. It was presumed she drowned in the park's lake, but no body was ever found.

As I researched, I began to vaguely remember some tales told when I was a child, local Monster legends told by kids, every town has a few, of a dark figure, a local Bogeyman, that was headless ("you look above his neck, and there's nothing there" I remember the story went) that roamed the town at night, snatching children who stayed out too late. This is getting ridiculous.

What's going on?

    Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, busy with school and settling in to my new room. It used to be Charles but, he moved out a couple weeks ago. I haven't talked to him since. I was wondering how he was, until I read his recent post. I've been trying to get a hold of him, but have had no luck. He won't answer my calls, reply to my e-mails and/or text, nothing. I'm starting to get a little worried.
     Anyways, after reading his most recent post, I did a little researching, and similar children have supposedly been spotted all over the world. I'll be posting about another monster soon. Until then. Peace out!
