Black Stick Men are a relatively recent phenomenon. People across the globe have been sighting these two-dimensional-like, pitch black beings. They appear to be two dimensional, and their appearance always looks the same no matter what angle they are seen at.

Description[]
Their heights range from that of a normal human being to at least twelve feet tall. They reportedly make no sound and cast no shadow. Witnesses also claim that these figures are often charged with some sort of electricity; the most often reported being static electricity. Witnesses often claim that while encountering these beings, they feel a strange urge of aggression or agitation. It could be said that these beings exert some form of negative energy.
They are unlike Ghosts in that they are not linked with any particular paranormal incident or location. They simply appear, and they have been appearing more and more recently for people.
Although they could be related in some way, these are not to be confused with Shadow People. There has yet to be a recorded case of a Black Stick Man attacking a person, and they have yet to communicate in any way, not even making a sound.
They are also not to be confused with the Slenderman, which is a fictional character created for an online Creepypasta story.
Sightings[]
During an expedition cryptozoologist Marc Wolfgang Miller went looking for the Black Stick Man near the small town of Buford, Wyoming, and their results were astonishing. They came within six feet of the Black Stick Man. It was unbelievably tall and thin as a twig. "I didn't know I was looking at it until it moved in a non tree-like manner. It had to be at least twelve feet tall." The cryptozoologist snapped a photo but to no avail. The photo taken didn't clearly show the creature due to the trees in the background.
Hoax[]
It has been confirmed that at least some of the Stick Men are indeed hoaxes, and were made up, including the popular video portraying a Black Stick Man, called Station922.mkv, in which a Stickman was captured walking off a house in Russia and jumpscaring the viewer by jumping into the window. The creature became known in Russia as Palochnik (Палочник).
The video was the subject of a legend, stating that if you view it in its entirety, you will die, or the creature in it will come to you.
