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!  

The Child

Recently moved out of my parent's house. I finally get a taste of freedom and I'm too scared shitless too enjoy it.
The other night I was walking home, past the park, as I usually do each night after my nighttime jogs, and I heard a child scream. I turned and saw a little girl in a white gown running. I ran to her to ask her what was wrong. First thing I noticed in the yellowish light from the streetlamp, was that her skin was very pale, and her hair was completely white. She was crying, weeping, I bent over and asked her what was wrong. "My mommy told me not to play outside at night". I responded "Where is your mommy?". "I couldn't find her and he got me". "Who got you ?" I asked, fearing the answer. "The Bogeyman got me". After she said that the girl looked up and I saw her eyes. Those eyes were pitch black. There was no white to be seen. I backed away and the light flickered. Where the black eyed girl was standing there was now a tall man in black, with a featureless face white as the moon.

I going to do some research on that girl and the park. Maybe there I'll figure out what's going on.
I'm not going on nighttime jogs anymore.

Bogeyman

There is a being that children fear. His names include, but are not limited to El Cuco, the Sack Man, The Grinning Man, Bloody Bones, and Oude Rode Ogen. He is there and not, exists and yet, doesn't. They know he exists but others do not. He varies in his many forms. These forms change based on area, social climate, local lore, what the people fear. He is the monster we try to forget when we're older. He exists because we think about him. Or do we think of him because he must exist? Somewhere deep down in our brains, in that buried part that still fears the dark, do we know he is real? Fear has no shape. The Bogeyman is Fear.

Figures

Should of known. Em didn't believe me. Thinks I'm crazy I suppose. No one else believes either. None of my friends or family have noticed anything going on, they just think I'm acting weird. Probably am. Having a faceless supernatural stalker tends to do that to a guy. Been checking things out. He left no footprints in the snow. Saw that one coming. Been reading theories on the Thing furiously for the last few days. Some seem plausible, but there's something missing. I wonder. If Slender Man is real, how many of the stories are true as well. Which are victims and which are inspired by the rest. I need to think. A new monster will be posted soon. It seems important now.
