He claimed the mods can read the forum user messages, so we were safer using email. I received an email from another forum user. I received a PM from username 'Herobrine' containing one word: 'Stop.' When I went to look at Herobrine's profile, the page 404'd. I tried again, and the topic was deleted even faster. The post was deleted within five minutes.

I created my own topic telling of the man and asking if anyone had a similar experience. I saved the map and went on the forums to see if anyone else had found the pseudo-player. I tried increasing my render distance to far whenever I thought I saw him, but to no avail. I would constantly think I saw the other 'player' in the deep fog, but I never got a better look at him. As I expanded to world I saw things 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 ocean, and groves of trees with all their leaves cut off. I continued on with the game, not sure what to think. I pursued out of curiosity, but he was gone, He didn't stay long, he looked at me and quickly ran into the fog.

I saw no name pop up, and I double-checked to make sure I wasn't in multiplayer mode.

Looking back at me was another character with the default skin, but his eyes were empty. I thought it was a cow, so I pursued it, hoping to grab some hides for armor. I noticed something move amongst the dense fog (I have a very slow computer so I have to play with a tiny render distance). Everything was normal at first as I began chopping down trees and crafting a workbench. I had recently spawned a new world in single-player Minecraft. This is the most famous story about Herobrine:
