THE ARHIVIST

It’s done. I’ve published my creepypasta on the creepypasta wiki file. You can find it by searching for “The Arhivist”. I’d be glad to hear your feedback in the comments - whether here or on the wiki page.

No, I don’t position Evelyn as my OC. For me, she’s just as much a creepypasta as the other characters in this fandom.

No, in the canon, she isn’t familiar with the other characters from the posts and doesn’t live in the Slender Man fan mansion.

Yes, she kills, but this happens at the behest of Slender Man. The person disappears without a trace. Before the abduction, they start to go crazy. When the person is already at their limit because of the archivist’s (Evelyn’s) antics, she abducts them. At the same time, she leaves a folder with the case file about the abduction in the person’s room. It’s as if she’s leaving evidence against herself, just as she did with the children whose disappearance she tried to investigate.

No, she doesn’t date any of the characters in the canon.

Since you can consider her a free character, not an OC, you can come up with your own headcanons for her in any area. You can ship her with anyone you like, however you like—I don’t care.

Evelyn Morrow always believed that every crime has a cause. After enrolling in a criminology program, she became interested in an archival case about missing children. All of them were last seen near forests or abandoned places, and nearby, drawings of a tall, faceless figure were found. In old documents, this creature was called Slender Man. While studying the materials, Evelyn noticed the same blurred silhouette in the archival photographs. Then a file appeared on her computer that didn’t exist in the database: a forest, a faceless figure, and a date that hadn’t happened yet.

After that, her life began to unravel. Entries appeared in her diary that she didn’t remember making, and one page had the words: “Don’t look for what has already found you.” Every night she dreamed of the same forest, where the silhouette grew closer and closer. When she woke up, she would find marks on her neck that looked like fingerprints.

Over time, Evelyn stopped trusting herself. She heard footsteps in empty rooms, noticed a figure in reflections, and found photographs taken in places she had never been. It seemed to her that worms were crawling under the skin of her hands, and she scratched them until they bled. In mirrors, she increasingly saw a white, cracked mask with eyes and mouth sewn shut with red thread, and in an attempt to take it off, she scratched her face.

Soon, her room burned down along with the investigation materials. Evelyn herself was found a few days later with a severe burn on half her face, but she refused to tell what had happened.

The last entry in her diary read: “If I come back, it means I was wrong. If not, it means I’ve been part of the matter all along.”

After a trip to the forest, Evelyn went missing. All that was found at the scene was a photograph of the girl in a white mask.

Since then, eyewitnesses have increasingly seen her near new disappearances — with a burn on her face, a strange symbol on her neck, and next to a tall, faceless figure.

On the back of each photo, it says:

Archivist

Evelyn Morrow always believed that every crime had a reason.

She enrolled in a criminology program with one simple goal: to learn how to find answers where others saw only chaos.

She wasn’t the kind of person who believed in mysticism. For her, people’s disappearances were the result of human mistakes: crimes, accidents, someone’s cruelty or negligence.

That was why the case of the missing children caught her interest.

It had no logical explanation.

The university archive held dozens of old cases that were considered closed. Most of them were ordinary investigations: runaways, abductions, accidents.

But one case stood out from the rest.

A series of child disappearances that had occurred in different cities over several decades.

The children did not have a common place of residence.

The only thing that was repeated in all the documents was the last places where they were seen:

Forests.

Abandoned buildings.

The outskirts of cities. And the strange drawings found near the sites of the disappearances.

A tall figure without a face.

Evelyn initially decided that it was the work of one person.

Someone’s sick fascination.

But the dates disproved that theory.

Some of the drawings were made years before the advent of modern records on the internet.

Some witnesses had never even contacted each other.But the description remained the same.

A tall man in a black suit, a blank face, abnormally long arms.

The name that appeared only in the oldest and strangest records:Slender Man.

The more Evelyn studied the case, the less it resembled an ordinary investigation.

The archives contained photographs of crime scenes.

Some of the images showed nothing.Just trees, fog, an empty road.

But after a few days, Evelyn noticed something strange.In several photos, the same silhouette was visible in the distance.

She zoomed in on the image again and again.

Each time, the figure was too blurred to make out.

But clear enough to understand:

It wasn’t a person.

Evelyn checked the metadata of the photos.

Some of the images were taken before the official investigation began.

Some were added to the archive after the cases had been closed, and one file didn’t exist in the system at all.

It only appeared on her computer.

The photo showed a forest.

The same forest where the first child on the list disappeared.

In the background, there was a tall figure, and in the corner of the image, there was a date.

A date that hadn’t happened yet.

After that, Evelyn began keeping a personal diary.

She recorded every detail, every piece of evidence she found, every oddity.

But after a few days, she noticed a problem.

Entries appeared in the diary that she didn’t remember making.Her handwriting, her pen, her notebook.

But she hadn’t written those words.

Some pages were filled with warnings.

Some with meaningless repetitions of the same name.

And on one page, there was only one phrase:

“Don’t look for what has already found you.”

After the investigation began, Evelyn stopped sleeping properly. She constantly dreamed of the same forest.

Evelyn stood among the trees, surrounded by a thick fog.

She never saw how she got there.

The dream always started from the moment when she was already there, and then a silhouette appeared.

It never moved, but each time it seemed to get closer.

She tried to run away,

But the distance didn’t change.

It was as if the forest itself was drawing her closer to it.

The final moment of the dream was always the same.Evelyn felt something tightening around her neck.

She would wake up in a panic,

with the feeling of a foreign presence nearby.

The first few times, she convinced herself that it was just nightmares.

But one morning, she found red marks on her neck.They looked like fingerprints.A few hours later, they disappeared as if they had never been there.

After that, reality began to gradually unravel.

Evelyn started hearing strange sounds:Rustling in an empty room,

Footsteps behind her,

Quiet interference, resembling the noise of an old TV.

She began to notice a silhouette in the distance,

On the street,

In the window of a neighboring building,

In the reflection of a mirror.

Sometimes in the window.

Sometimes on the screen of a turned‑off phone.

Every time she saw it in the reflections on her face, she would start scratching her face in panic, but when she raised her eyes to the reflections, the mask was no longer there. Only scratches on her face.

A few weeks after the investigation began, Evelyn’s dorm room burned down.

The official cause was a wiring fault.

But the firefighters found something strange.

The fire didn’t start in one place.

The ignition points were in different parts of the room.

It was as if someone had tried to destroy specific things.Her notes had burned.

Photo.

Case materials.

After the fire, Evelyn disappeared for several days.

When she was found, half of her face was covered in burns.

She didn’t explain what had happened.

She only continued the investigation.

Later, photographs that were never supposed to exist ended up in the archive. They featured Evelyn, but the photos were taken long before she was born.

She was standing near the places where children had disappeared.

In different years.

In different clothes.

Sometimes next to children who later went missing.

She couldn’t explain how this was possible.

No one could.

The last entry about Evelyn was found in her apartment.

She was going to return to where it all began.

Into the forest.

To the place where the last child disappeared.

She had with her:

an old diary, a pistol, a dagger,

photos of unknown origin.

On the last page of the diary, a date was written.

And one line:

“If I come back, it means I was wrong. If not, it means I’ve been part of the matter all along.”

After that, Evelyn Morrow went missing.

The police found the forest a few days later.

There were no clues.They didn’t even find any footprints of hers.

It was as if Evelyn had never been there.

The only item found was a photograph.

It showed a girl in a mask.

Standing among the trees.

A few months after Evelyn’s disappearance, new evidence began to emerge.

People claimed they had seen the girl near the sites of new disappearances.

A white mask.

A red sweater.

A strange symbol around her neck.

She never said anything.

She never attacked.

She simply appeared before people disappeared.

Just as the silhouette from the old cases had once appeared.

The Evelyn Morrow case remains open.

In official documents, she is listed as missing, but among those who study disappearances, her name has become the same as the name of the creature she was trying to find.

Some believe she became a victim.

Some believe she went insane.

Some believe she found the answer.

But there is one detail that no one can explain.

In all new cases, the same photograph appears near the locations of the disappearances.

A girl in a mask.

Standing next to a tall, faceless figure.

And on the back of the photo, there is always one inscription:

“The investigation continues.”

Name: Evelyn Morrow

Age: 18 years old

Height: 165 cm

Status: Missing in action

Later: Proxy of the Slender Man

Weapon: semi-automatic pistol in a hip holster and an army dagger.

The main weapon is a criminal dagger, a Makarov pistol.

They symbolize her past: she used to search for criminals, but now she herself has become the one they should be searching for.

The dagger is not used haphazardly — Evelyn acts coldly and calculatingly. She studies a person in advance, as if preparing a real investigation:

she gathers information about the victim,

studies their habits,

takes photos,

leaves notes,

creates an “archive”.

She doesn’t just choose a victim — she creates a story around them.

Evelyn starts with observation.

The victim may not even know that they have become a target.

But gradually, strange things start to appear:

photos of the person that they never took,

pages from someone else’s file in their home,

their personal belongings moved to other places,

notes with dates that haven’t happened yet.

The person begins to think they’re going crazy.

And this is precisely Evelyn’s main weapon.

She makes the victim feel the same way she herself felt during the investigation of Slender Man.

Evelyn almost never appears without a mask during a hunt.

The peculiarity is that people often see her not directly, but through reflections:

in mirrors,

in windows,

in photographs,

on surveillance cameras.

Because of this, a legend has emerged that if a person sees Evelyn’s mask, it means they have already become part of her “business.”

When the victim is already psychologically broken, Evelyn appears in person.

She doesn’t scream, doesn’t threaten, and doesn’t try to look scary.

She behaves like an investigator.

For her, it’s not murder.

It’s a “closure of the case.”

After that, she leaves the crime scene as if it were an official archive:

a photograph of the victim,

a case number,

a brief description,

the proxy symbol of Slenderman.

But the most chilling thing is that sometimes she leaves a photograph where the victim is already standing next to her.

Although the photo was taken before they met.

After each murder, Evelyn records the new case in her old diary.

But after some time, she herself begins to find entries there that she doesn’t remember making.

For example:

“Case No. 17 is closed.”

Although she doesn’t remember who she killed under that number.

Because of this, even she doesn’t always understand:

Is she really carrying out Slender Man’s will?

Or has she long since lost control and is just continuing her investigation, which will never end?
