Once upon a brine there were people who were trolls, they thought that telling a scary story about a game would scare little kids.
It worked and now they still do it, the end--erman.
I really dislike people when they do a poor job of making a horror story, at least try.
Now this poorly made Minecraft Voldemort of the forums is famous.
An example of someone who did actually try at making a videogame horror story would be the creator of the Ben creepypasta.
He made many videos that showed quite a bit of skill in creation, not just some whited out eyes.
Ben Drowned was an amazing story, but I feel that the Herobrine legend was just as good, give or take a few quirks
Mojang started the myth just for fun.
People ran with it and it has gotten totally out of hand.
Now Mojang is stuck with it and they can't stop it no matter how hard they try.
Like Bigfoot, Lock Ness Monster, etc. they'll always be the fools that 'believe'.
It's that simple.
Uhhh friendo. Satchquatch/ yeti, the loch ness monster and the Mothman all exist... the yeti has been prooven to be migratory during the summer for mating. hense why in the northern areas. the satchquatch is in fact to as the yeti. The Loch Ness monster is actually several breeds of pleaseosuar that have to come up for air at some point, and the Mothman usually appears when a desaster is about to strike. granted some speculate that he causes it. some speculate that he is trying to warn people.
I wonder how many people that play Minecraft love watching ghost movies and paranormal activities show. Personally, I do. I don't buy into this ghost in the code stuff. I will say beside people beginning creative I think because its a monster game has a lot to do with it and the fact that the creators of the game have added things that keep the speculation going do as well. Someone was right when they said this was a more interesting thread then they expected
Fun fact: ( just incase you didnt know) the Endermen are based off the Creepypasta of the Slenderman, Another good set of Creepypasta I might add.
"Him" Was in the classic version if you go to minecraft.net and i for one would love to see a kinda 2.0 like update but with "Him".
Alotta people want Herobrine for in the game as a boss.
it would actually end all of the Hoaxes and people trying to dupe people into " OMG I SAW HIM COME LOOK AT THIS."
What was (or more correctly wasn't) in GTA:San Andreas?
there's quite a few actually. UFO's have been repeatedly mentioned but I don't know if they were ever confirmed, another frequent one was empty cars chasing you around particular mountains.
The second one was confirmed to exist as a coding fault; there were supposed to be roads somewhere but they were removed, and another something said no people were supposed to spawn in that area, so empty cars spawned at the sides of the mountains and rolled down towards the players under certain conditions.
I think 4j studios removed herobrine but I'm not sure

See its that kind of posting that makes new players think " Im gonna find herobrine "
I personally wouldnt mind seeing him be fully implemented in the game as a new boss, it would end all of the hoaxing, and would in a way pay homage to the legend that gained Minecraft its popularity
This discussion has been fascinating. I'm glad I started it. I've learned about ghost stories in games I had no idea had them ... though still, I think because of the open-ended nature of Minecraft, our ghost seems to be qualitatively different in some way.
The empty cars in GTA:SA are cool, but they're real, and exist because of a bug. The ghost story in FusionFall was created for a specific purpose. Ours ... well, it just feels different.
Raph Koster's "A Story About A Tree" is interesting here, because it is -- unknown to him at the time he wrote it -- a person's reaction to a hoax. As it later developed, the person in it was about never even lived, let alone died -- "she" was a complete fabrication by someone, and back then we hadn't seen nearly as much of that as we have since.
I can't put my finger on exactly why Minecraft's own ghost story reminds me so much of that situation, but for some reason, it brings that to mind. It's not the same thing -- not even close to the same thing -- but there's something about the idea of people reacting to an online hoax that seems to tie them together.
I have to start reading some creepypasta, I think!
Insomnia is not likely to be an issue. The only horror author who has ever been able to creep me out is HP Lovecraft. It's funny... all those writers do everything our creative writing professors told us to do ... "show them, don't just tell them" ... and it's just "meh" to me. HPL broke that rule (and just about every other) but even his stories that I've read a dozen times can practically make me sleep with the light on. You go figure.
I actually wouldn't mind HIM being in the game. If so he would of course be kind of a rare sighting and finding his little traps/torches in dark deep caves. If he was in the game I'd rather have him in Hardmode then and possibly Normal. I think Herobrine will add more fun into the game, I would actually go exploring in caves more just to see if I could find those torches of his and follow them to the unknown. I just love the whole thing about Herobrine.
Its because the world is too peaceful. Yea there are zombies and creepers and a bunch of other monsters but they don't have thoughts. Besides having a friend in the game, we want to fight an enemy that actually has a more sentient mind but we want this enemy to be more overwhelming to make things seem supernatural. In a peaceful world we want mystery to entice our thoughts to things we don't know about or add more to the things we like.
We want a bigger threat that we cant escape from, to create a legendary story or to be the star of our own tales.
We want a anti-hero that will put us into the role of a hero.
This thing is real though, not in the way as it haunts us but in the way of other peoples creative minds. Mods, stories, and drawings make this thing real in other forms.
Not all mysteries are conjured by people though. Some or just natural or to say, supernatural.

Dah best song everz!!!!!!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO CLICK IT! So what are you waiting for? Okay dont click it and be left out on a epic song... yea you dont want that SO CLICK IT!
I was attacked by an invisible pigman in the outerworld, it was shortly after leaving the nether and making them mad at me. It would only seem to damage me on certain blocks/height. I didn't get what was going on, and the only reason I knew it was a pigman is because when I died it said I was slayed by a pigman.

Jeff the Killer, The Slenderman Cometh, Jeff the Killer Vs Slenderman, the Glutton, Strangled Red, Lost Silver, Tarnished Gold, Godsmouth, SPC Foundation, Any one of the Holders series ( or all of them), Abanded by Diseny, Jeff the Killer Vs Jane the Killer, the Rake, ( althought this one technically isnt a Creepypasta) My home state of West Virginia has a legendary figure known as the Moth Man. He is a pretty interesting concept.
Balls! I forgot to add in my colored Text *headslam*
if herobrine were put in the game, it would have to either be or look like a glitch. Thats the problem with it; everyone who knows how can see the game code, and the whole point of it is that he's supposed to be an unintentionally programmed "ghost". Trying to hide him in the code to keep the mysticism alive would be borderine impossible from what I know about coding, and even then it would be found out eventually and ruined.
It is very possible that HE is real. Maybe they hid very well it's coding. Maybe they "broke" his code into many parts? I believe in that thing... Herobrine. I believe that he's real. I think.
Ben Drowned was an amazing story, but I feel that the Herobrine legend was just as good, give or take a few quirks

Um, I haven't read many.
But some are Slenderman and Jeff the killer.
Here's a video of more creepypasty... Minecraft style

Not a problem. Rooster Teeth videos put me right out.
The city I live in was a stop for the Leatherman. Not exactly creepypasta... just straight up creepy.
