In one of the most chilling cases of friendship turned nightmare, 12-year-old Payton Leutner was lured into the woods by her two best friends—and stabbed 19 times. Their motive? To please Slenderman, a fictional internet myth they believed was real. But Payton didn’t die. She survived the attack, crawled to safety, and helped expose the twisted belief that nearly took her life.
