Description Much like The Slender Man and the Tall Gentleman, the Fisherman is a mysterious humanoid entity which seems bent on creating terror and fear in it's wake.

It has been seen since 1986 and caused much panic as a wave of sightings flooded through 1994.
It has only been seen around water, and often shows itself to small groups or individuals of its choosing.
It's figure has never been glimpsed in full light. But from what can be understood from witnesses that come across it, that it is extremely lanky. It often walks on four limbs, and never on two.
It's agile and coordinated, and seems to be able to guide it's long apendages with ease and grace.

Men that enjoy going fishing will sometimes report finding dead fish floating on the water, all of their insides are liquidised by unknown causes. These curious incedents seemed to be linked to the Fisherman.

A group of 7 young men reported seeing the atrosity when swimming. They reported seeing blood in the water and travelled up stream to find the source. They found bodies of animals near the bank of the river. All lined in order of size as if someone did it deliberately. They were all gushing blood into the river.
They became aware of an uneasy presence among them, and witnessed a:

"...thin lookin' man. Real lanky and tall... ...with pitch black eyes and a gaping mouth-thing o' sorts. It made these queer creaking-cracking sounds like wood or sticks that you walk on and they snap.
We ran... ...we didnt know what we saw, but it sure wasnt meant to be there..."

The Fisherman, unlike The Slender Man, has not been known to hunt it's witnesses despite their location. But seem's to how great hostility to anything around it's watery territory.

So you're fishermans creator? How come we've never seen this guy more often?

I sure am.
A few years back I did some sketches and wanted to write up a story, but it never got published online. But I'm surprised, I didn't think anyone really thought much of the Fisherman.

The only reason I know of the Fishermans existence is because of this one pic here: demongirl99.deviantart.com/#/a…

This creature is so underrated and not very well recognized, unlike those like Slenderman, The Rake and B.O.B. for example.

Yeah I doscovered the picture just today! Demongirl did a very nice interpretation of it, I'm flattered that it interested someone enough for them to draw it.

Thank you for saying so, would like to expand his myth more in the future.

Glad you know.

You're welcome. I might draw him someday.

You should definitely draw more fisherman! Maybe a story concerning a submarine getting eerie taps on the glass and walls... from the outside!

Never heard of it before, but it has me interested, as the Fisherman was nearly entirely original

I haven't seen the movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, but I've seen the trailer. The Fisherman and these creatures seem somewhat similar; they both have the same thin, almost skeletal, anatomy and always walk on all fours.

Awesome, I like how it's dark, but when you look closely, it does resemble a foggy night.
There is even a little bit of focus blur.

Probably because it appears human to the brain but the stretched and distorted features let us know something's not right XD
