I do believe this is another video


"slenderman" and "marblehornets" are in the tags.
Looks like it's another spinoff, folks...

I find it doubtful that it's a spin-off on the Slenderman mythos. A lot of the other videos had some pretty random tags, most likely to get some traffic to the videos (considering that this is either a promotional stunt or a new ARG trying to get off the ground.)

This Faceless Man doesn't even resemble Slenderman. Slenderman is always seen without any sort of face (this man has eyes and a nose slit(?)) and wears a suit and a tie (this guy wears a large jacket and what look like jeans.)

Besides that, the atmosphere of the videos just seems different from any other Slenderman ARG out there. Considering that these videos take place in the middle of large cities, it's almost definitely not Slenderman.

I think it's just an attempt at a Viral Campaign for INTRUDERS.

http://www.intruders-movie.com/

It was released last week.

Another video of the Faceless Man has popped up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HOzHQwhQ2k

Also why would they do a viral ad campaign for a film that has already come out? An ad campaign that hasn't referenced anything to do with the film at all?

What I think needs to be noted is that these videos all seem to feature the same person, wearing the same clothes, and is taking place in the same area within the cities.

Hello All!

I'm new here... hopefully welcome too. I joined simply because I found this thread fascinating. I'm really really interested in what this all is.

Nobody has mentioned shapeshifters...?

The video descriptions usually mention the man's stress level or say that he seemed to be waiting for something. A few have mentioned specific strange events. I think this is a build-up to something really interesting.

I mentioned in this thread that I PMd one of the video uploaders. Well, he replied, so for your convenience, here's his, and my, PM.

So, I recently came across this video while randomly browsing the internet. It lead me to be interested enough to look into it and it seems that tons of people have seen this guy! Not only that, but I guess someone in Toronto saw something similar? Either way, you're definitely not the only one to see this guy. Do you have any more information about why there was an army of emergency response vehicles in the area?

I know! I wasn't expecting this video to do anything; I just thought it was really weird. Than when I post it, pretty much a few days later all these other vids go up and ... you're right... other people saw him too and in some cases in the general vicinity of where I was when I saw him. No idea what to think.

From what I'm told its actually a common occurrence for a "parade" of emergency response cars to scream by in some areas of New York... at the time I didn't know that, I was only visiting and thought it was scary and warranted filming. Afterwards I'm told that its quite normal... plus I wasn't very quick on the draw and missed most of the vehicles anyways. You can hear the alarms and see one or two cops cars. lol But nobody seems to have an explanation for who walked by my camera.

I can't tell you why there were cops and such; no idea, they just streamed past me.


So, really, we didn't get a ton of new information.

Well at least we know the uploaders might respond to our questions.
