5	'''The Dead Are Watching''' is an AlternateRealityGame taking place in Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos. It follows Leo, a reclusive man in CampbellCountry. With his OuijaBoard, a Necronomicon, and a need for proof of the paranormal Leo is hoping to summon something. He performs a ritual that should bring the dead to him. Little does he know that what he summons is much more malicious than expected. When symbols and a certain [[TheBlank faceless]] slender man appears things really take a turn for the worse.
