Informant Data:

J.T. is a student at the University of Buffalo. He is 19 years old and lives in New York. 

Social context: I interviewed J.T. on May 10, 2020 over FaceTime. He shared his feelings of Slenderman and past memories he has of coming across Youtube videos of Slenderman.

Cultural context: The Youtube video titled “Entry #1” has amassed over seven million views and was posted on June 20, 2009. It was made as a part of a series by a channel called “Marble Hornets” which created more Slenderman content. The grainy video quality and missing audio adds to the realness of Slenderman, and the quick camera shots of the figure are a trademark feature to the popular creature.
