Let's revisit Marble Hornets @MarbleHornets and the origin of Slender Man.

Thanks to The Sarahnormal Activity for the idea. Please go watch her videos, linked below.

(The Anthropology of Haunted Media)

Welcome back to Paranormal Archaeology—the series where we dig into anthropology, material culture, and haunted media. Today we’re revisiting Marble Hornets and tracing Slender Man’s origins through the lens of paranormal archaeology: how people treat places, objects, and videos as supernatural—and how that changes behavior, meaning, and culture online.

We’ll talk found footage on early YouTube, analog horror & ARG mechanics, Rosswood (the new series from the Marble Hornets creators), ToTheArk, and how digital folklore forms, spreads, and shapes real-world action. Think: archaeology of the internet + anthropology of belief + media history.

Subscribe for more deep dives into paranormal archaeology, material culture, and supernatural belief systems across film, games, and web culture.
