Slender man said that he could take her to a magical land where no one could ever find them. He is said to still be on the loose and still takes children today. 
==Physical properties==
The Slender Man is frequently depicted as a tall, thin entity resembling a human male clad in a typical business suit. He is sometimes shown with long, tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back. He also seems to be able to stretch his body and arms to unnatural lengths. He is also noted to lack a face, ears, or hair, having only a smooth, blank head. In the original images, he is shown in the background and appears unnoticed by those around him.{{fact|date=January 2012}}
