Skinny ghost (English: skinny ghost or slinger), also literally translated as skinny or transliterated as slander, is said to be an urban legend from the United States, but this is just a rumor.

The original author of "Slender Ghost" is Victor Surge, who comes from a bad forum and was originally named Eric Knudsen. In August, 2009, Something Awful Forum held a PS(Photoshop) contest, requiring participants to use image software to modify photos and create realistic supernatural horror pictures.

Victor Surge made some PS(Photoshop) pictures with a little explanatory text on the theme of his character's slender ghost.

In this way, the lanky ghost first entered the field of vision of netizens.

Extended data:

Slander's appearance has four characteristics:

1. Figure:? A lanky man, very thin. The overall characteristics are similar to human beings, but he is very tall, with a disproportionate body and limbs, a pair of long arms on the left and right, two long legs standing upright in the lower body, and his arms even extend to his knees.

2.？ Clothing: The slender man wears a black suit and a red/black tie, as well as a white shirt and black shoes. Suit has a high position in psychology, because it is an automatic headache (the weirdest thing is that his suit is sometimes neat and sometimes dirty).

3.？ Face: A lanky man's face has no clear facial features and lacks all the features of the head, including no hair. Wearing a white mask on his head. Some pictures show that the slender man has a prominent nose, but his ears are not prominent, and his eyes have shallow protrusions. And when his mouth is about to open, he will first show a crooked crack in his face, and then slowly open it wider.

4.？ Limbs: A lanky person can grow many arms (four or six in most cases) from his back, sometimes they can stretch indefinitely and turn into dark tentacles.
