The Best Friend's Betrayal Caused By An Internet Monster ?? | Mystery & Makeup | Bailey Sarian

For those who would like to know, Payton is now a sophomore in college pursuing a degree in the medical field. She had PTSD after the attack and would sleep with her mother in fear of being alone. She says she doesn’t really remember much of the attack, thankfully, and has learned to accept her scars from the attack. She still has a hard time trusting friends and family and also still to this day sleeps with a pair of scissors just in case. She has said she’s working on putting everything behind her and getting back to living a normal life🙏🏼

Payton actually lost her glasses they were knocked off during the attack and she was blind without them. She used the trees and followed the sounds to guide her to safety. She's an amazing little girl finding her way to the road for help bleeding profusely and not able to see.

A really incredible and VERY lucky for Payton, was the fact that the biker who rescued her went into a kind of "restricted area". He actually climbed over a chain that was marking an "off" territory and decided to bike there. Otherwise, Payton may have never been found. Kudos to this guy!

it’s insane how when i was younger i knew slender man was just a creepy pasta but these kids genuinely believed he was real?? it’s so interesting how minds work differently

Shanashaa shanashaaa, shanashasha shana ... shaaaaaaaa - here's the theme song for everyone who's missing it

BEE-utiful!! 🐝😍

This video was sufficient birth control. Thank you.

the fact that morgan rly said “don’t be scared, i’m only a little kitty-cat” before pouncing on payton… jeez.

I love how you were having a serious talk with the audience about guiding children, internet, laws and policies all while dressed up as a bee.

“He blends in with his surroundings..” Me: “....blender man” Edit: y’all’s comments have made me so happy during a really difficult time and I appreciate you so much. ♥️

Bailey: "I'm trying to be spooky because it's Halloween" Also her: proceeds to wear a cute bee costume 🐝

Payton is a survivor. She cheated death and her story is harrowing and heroic.

Bailey: “this boogeyman was born on the Internet.” Me: “it’s the Slenderman story, isn’t it?”

I don’t know what’s scarier, the story or the fact that Bailey didn’t do her intro song

the BETTER question is: how was Bailey able to put on her costume without smearing her makeup? that's a miracle right there

i remember hearing about this as a kid. i fully believed then and now that those girls were capable of it. no one is crueler than middle school girls

I can't help feeling bad for the creator of slenderman, he just wanted to have fun creating an original character and when that character got so much attention it would've been really cool and then this happens and thousands of people are blaming you for things like this.

sits down slowly in a bee costume "I'm a bee." I cried. 😂

Yet another note to add, even though this is an older video: Morgan's parents WERE monitoring what she was doing on the internet, but they didn't know that she thought he was real. They thought she was going through a scary story phase. They tried, though I see many people claiming they didn't, and were absolutely horrified that this had happened.

Law and Order SVU did a story about this too! That was my first time hearing the story. Being parent these days is SO scary! My anxiety stays high!
