Creepypasta... The history behind the blood...

Herobrine...

I had recently spawned a new world in single player Minecraft. Everything was normal at first as I begin to chop down trees and craft a workbench. I noticed something move amongst the dense fog. I thought it was a cow, so I pursued it, hoping to grab some hides for armour. It wasn't a cow though. looking back at me was another character with the default skin, but his eyes were empty. I saw no name pop up, and I double checked to make sure I wasn't in multiplayer mode. He didn't stay long, he looked at me and quickly ran into the fog. I pursued out of curiosity, but he was gone. I continued on with the game, not sure what to think. As I expanded to world, I saw something's that seemed out of place for the random map generator to make. 2x2 tunnels in the rocks, small, perfect pyramids made of sand in the middle of the ocean and groves of trees with all their leaves cut off. I would constantly think I saw the other "player" in the deep fog, but I never got a better look at him. I even tried rendering my distance to far whenever I thought I saw him, but to no avail. I saved the map and went on the forums to see if anyone else had found the pseudo-player. There were none. I created my own topic telling of the man and asking if anyone had a similar experience. The post was deleted within five minutes, I tried again and the post got deleted even faster. I received a PM from username 'Herobrine' containing one word. 'Stop.' When I went to look at Herobrines profile, the page 404'd. I received an email from another forum user. He claimed the mods can read the forum users messages, so it was safer to use email. The emailer claimed that he had seen the mystery player too, and had a small 'directory' of other users who had seen him as well. Their worlds were littered with obviously man-made structures as well, and described their mystery player to have no pupils. About a month passed until I heard from my informant again. Some of the people who have encountered this mystery man have looked into the name Herobrine and found that name to be frequently used by a Swedish gamer. After some further information gathering, it was revealed to be the brother of Notch, the games developer. I personally emailed Notch, and asked him if he had a brother. It took him a while, but he emailed me back a very short message.
I did, but he is no longer with us.
