Steve StocktonHOST
Whatever you do, be careful if you go into the Bennington Triangle.
Steve StocktonHOST
Now, the mystery of the Gauthier ghost photo, also known in some circles as the 1948 Slenderman or The Tall Man of the Living Room, is a unique entry in the annals of paranormal photography.
Steve StocktonHOST
Can't show you the image here because it's copyrighted, but you can find it with a Google search.
Steve StocktonHOST
Now, unlike many famous ghost photos that feature wispy ectoplasm or transparent figures, this image is noted for the startlingly physical yet anatomically impossible presence it captures.
Steve StocktonHOST
There's no evidence of eyes, a nose, or a mouth.
Steve StocktonHOST
And the suit that I mentioned that the figure's dressed in, it's a dark jacket and trousers, which has led many to compare it to modern urban legends, despite the photo predating those legends by over half a century.
Steve StocktonHOST
We're talking Slenderman here.
Steve StocktonHOST
Now to understand this photo, we have to look at the limitations and quirks of 1940s photography, specifically the use of silver halide film and manual shutter cameras.
Owen MichaelHOST
It's got a lot of the elements.
Owen MichaelHOST
It reminded me of the Slender Man murders as well.
Owen MichaelHOST
The Wisconsin situation where the two girls basically were suggested to kill one of their friends who also one of them, one of the friends happened to be developmentally disabled as well.
Owen MichaelHOST
But yeah, this is some.
Blake SmithHOST
And then after that, it just grows and grows, and people have these experiences.
Blake SmithHOST
Slenderman, same thing.
Blake SmithHOST
We know Slenderman's not real, but people report legitimate encounters, which is very peculiar, but the human mind is an amazing thing.
Blake SmithHOST
So, yeah.
Karen StolznowHOST
Mm-hmm.

AnnaHOST
found out something.
AnnaHOST
Oh, what is the name of that movie? The original Slenderman image.
AnnaHOST
The character in the original Slenderman image is an action figure from a horror movie, and I can't remember which one it is.
AnnaHOST
It's the one with the floating balls that have the spikes and blades on them.
JohnHOST
Oh.
AnnaHOST
The guy from Phantasm, uh...
AnnaHOST
Let me pull up the Phantasm action figure.
AnnaHOST
If you look up the Phantasm action figure and then look at the original Slenderman image, you can literally see the guy's hairline.
Ruby Justice ThelotGUEST
These are wonderful stories that have, I think, enduring cultural power.
Ruby Justice ThelotGUEST
I mean, they made a movie about Slenderman and that is just one person on there.
Ruby Justice ThelotGUEST
Actually, it's like a thousand people on their computers all participating in this collective storytelling um folk building process um and now it's like a it's like it's a significant cultural art i think if you ask a young person they might know who slenderman is that did not exist previously that's like a it's made up right um and i think that's kind of wonderful
ElijahHOST
and i guess like yesterday we spoke about the benefits of having new aesthetics in the first place why are we searching for new why that is important um sometimes in music Even music people, they will speak to me as if we've kind of completed music.
Killjoy JakeHOST
The rise of internet-based creepypasta horror films has only just begun, I think, this past year with Backrooms.
Killjoy JakeHOST
We don't count Slender Man.
Killjoy JakeHOST
We don't have to bring that up.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Why did you bring that up? But a brand new movie is coming out based on the Mandela catalog of the same title, of course, on June 9th now of 2028, as reported by Deadline.
Jake GrearGUEST
Yes, exactly.
Rita SirianniHOST
Like Slenderman.
Rita SirianniHOST
Yes.
Rita SirianniHOST
But not on the internet.
Cory CoveHOST
He is like nine feet tall and about 30 pounds.
Cory CoveHOST
He looks like Slenderman, but still, you did call him fat, and I think that's what motivated
Chris HawkeyHOST
him.
Chris HawkeyHOST
It's both of them, too.
Coach ColinHOST
Maybe he's going to...
Coach ColinHOST
Daisy called me Slender Man.
Coach ColinHOST
I've never been called Slender Man.
Coach ColinHOST
I've never been called fat and slender in the same podcast in my life.
Coach ColinHOST
That's crazy.
Coach ColinHOST
What's going on here? Can't call me both.
Coach ColinHOST
You gotta pick one.
Coach ColinHOST
I'll go with fat because Slender Man is a demon.
