Could someone please help me with this myth/legend involving slender man?
I watch the Marblehornets videos on youtube, and I joined a facebook group discussing the different characters and who they are. One of the characters is called Slenderman, and he is a very tall man dressed in a suit and tie. Where his face should be there is just blank, empty skin. He isn't real, of course. These videos are made for entertainment. But someone left a comment on that facebook page that said, "I think the Slenderman myth is based on one of several inter-dimensional beings that came through a rift in central Connecticut a few hundred years back. The rift itself is on heavily guarded land now." I thought this sounded very interesting, and I tried to google it to read more about this rift and what supposedly came out of it, but couldn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it or give me some keywords or maybe even the name of the rift so I could search for it and read about it. Or even if you know any information about this and would like to share it with me that would be awesome. Thank you! *Also, I went to this person' page to send them a message asking about this rift he spoke of, but there was an away message on his page stating that he wouldn't be able to get back on facebook until September.

its possible you wont find anything about the rift, because there are still people that dont believe in paranormal occurences, and dismiss it as fantasy or psychosis.

There are many rifts and vortexes that have appeared and closed throughout the years. The Slenderman is actually based on a spirit that was said to haunt a light house in Conn. He was a tall man skeletal in shape and had a blank face. As the story goes if you saw his true face you died soon after. I am not sure how true this is but I have heard the story.
