Got a text from Fiona earlier. Apparently the fair got shut down 'cause another kid got abducted. Hating this town right now.

That was at about 4pm? Fell asleep shortly after, only just woke up, it's 4am. Blinding headache.
The missing kids is pretty indicative. Too hard to tell just yet, imo.
Not to mention a "blinding headache"...it's all adding up slowly,I'd say
Edit:Posted this a bit too soon before I read all straggling posts.Anyway--HOLY FUCK that Slendy is HUGE!! And I agree with everyone about the arm length and whoever mentioned being creeped out and startled by the unexpected,well-placed distortion
2nd Edit--Just by comparison,looking at the climbing bars in the foreground and then looking at the fence--that Slendy has to be at LEAST 8 feet tall,give or take.Kudos to whoever fashioned him--musta been quite a task and also GETTING him there and then taking the vid!!
WONDER BREAD dipped in AWESOME-SAUCE!!

JESUS.
Now that is an impressive Slenderman. That's something I always have felt was lacking in these vlogs, a truly tall Slendy. Of course, budgets must be kept in mind but credit is due here. That was impressive. Subscribed to this one, looking forward to where it's headed.

We saw that guy again, the one everyone keeps asking about, but he disappeared before I got my camera out. I'll put up the video later on.

Slendy's not in it. Or I can't see him, anyway.

I couldn't find him either, but I think that was the idea hence the "he disappeared before I got my camera out" part. I like that they're keeping the first few videos short. Some series like to go very long in the beginning (for immersion's sake, I understand) and it can be easy to get bored and lose interest. These short little entries are a wise approach.

I pretty much agree with you for the most part about starting out with shorter clips in order to whet our appetite and not overwhelm us and also I love a slow burn every now and then.Having said that--there IS part of me that wishes there were more but as the saying goes "leave 'em wanting MORE".

Even though none of us spotted Slendy in this so far--apart from them telling us that they didn't "catch him" there is visual tearing,thus indicating that he cannot be far.....

I like how when she first saw him she didn't immediately think "omg monster"
She used rational thinking, which IMO is much better than:
A).Complete obliviousness(First TT videos, "woods" entry by 004steps)
or
B).Immediate fear(First TJA videos)
She probably thinks:"Just a creepy guy".
Of course, after you guys pestered her, she does admit he was pretty abnormal looking and then tries(but fails) to get him on camera in the latest entry.
And unfortunately for them, once you start looking for the slenderman...
He goes looking for you!

Am I the only one who is finding their accent/dialect really hard to understand?

Well--this is news because here I was assuming they were British.Having said that--for ME personally--my hearing has declined quite a bit over the years (old age) so trying to hear or discern what someone is saying even if I'm with them has gotten increasingly difficult for me.It's even MORE of a factor when watching Slendy Vlogs,which is one reason that I am very indebted to anyone who transcribes entries or I'd be missing a whole LOT.
Beyond that--and this has nothing to do with anything or anyone per se--I have a problem with certain accents and brogues.It isn't PERSONAL--it's just something I struggle with and always have.When I was in my late teens--I was a camp counselor one summer and there were a few people there that were head counselors who were of Scottish descent and I had a bitch of a time understanding anything that they said.
Also--Slendy vlogs inherently suffer from certain things that 'impose' on the audio just by their sheer nature--like wind,ambient noise, and anything else that obscures the clarity of the audio and certain nuances.
Luckily--even if I miss a certain amount of dialogue--I can usually piece together a modicum of what's going on and most creators give us enough info visually that I can usually get the gist of the entry.
Sorry for the wall of text
