So, a young lad named Logan. One of his friends (named Matt) is going to Iraq in February 2009; so, as a parting gift, he gives him a black, moleskin notebook. However, Matt is caught in an ambush in early July; he survived, and had post-traumatic stress disorder. He came back to America and spent the remainder of his days in a mental hospital; he died on July 30th, 2009. Then, on August 5th, Logan receives Matt's notebook.And there was some freaky shit in there.A part of The Slender Man Mythos, and almost certainly the Trope Maker for the numerous blogs based on the character. Beginning only a week or two after Marble Hornets began, it is one of the most popular Slender Man blogs. The blog was originally here but has now been deleted by the owner. It has been archived and can be read here.Please note, that the below examples will contain unmarked spoilers. It is advised for you to read through the blog first, then read these examples. Be warned!

Look Behind You: The tie-in videos made by Dav involve this with "DONT TURN AROUND" written in the notebook (one page per word). Dav helpfully pans the camera up to show that there's nothing behind him.note Except, of course, for the black sweatshirt hanging on his door that you probably didn't see before.

While Slendy is certainly capable of it, wiping out a Marine squad in a violent and bloody confrontation is not his style. Granted Unreliable Narrator is at play here but nevertheless.

Hidden in Plain Sight
 Just Another Fool (Blog) / int_41a3e267
comment
Hidden in Plain Sight: Slendy is in the final picture with Logan; look closely at the trees in the background. According to Word of God, Logan died minutes after posting the picture online. In the second diary entry, it shows a soldier stick figure in front of a seemingly innocuous tree. When you examine it closely and keep in mind the fact that these stick figures were drawn through the last page, you'll see three dead figures in the tree.

Early-Installment Weirdness: As mentioned below, it is the Trope Codifier for Slenderblogs. But it also has some elements that was not carried over into the greater mythos. Some of the sketches depict Slendy with a hat (admittedly a nice one) - Something that was not seen anywhere else. While Slendy is certainly capable of it, wiping out a Marine squad in a violent and bloody confrontation is not his style. Granted Unreliable Narrator is at play here but nevertheless.

Hidden Eyes: Logan's hiding his right eye with his hand in "Laughter", "ALMOST TIME" and is supposed to be in "Game Over." According to Word of God, "Game Over" was a botched Photoshop job, and Logan is supposed to have lost an eye running from Slendy.

No Ending: The blog ends abruptly with Josh going to ID Logan's body, saying it won't take more than an hour or two; given an earlier incident involving a near-accident on a motorcycle and a certain "asshole businessman," the implication is that he died in a Slendy-caused crash.
