Sightings of Der Großmann

In the 16th century, a woodcutter engraved his art of a multi-limbed skeletal creature that has a resemblance to Slender Man.

Dating before 9000 B.C there is a Brazilian cave painting that shows a very elongated figure grasping a child.

In 1953 a man named Ted Henderson was charged with the murder of his wife, later they questioned him at Jenkins Mental Hospital and found that there had been screaming and gunshots. Henderson said that the horses at his farm were torn apart. "Skinny fella… suit… looking at me…“ Ted Henderson later became insane.
