The Man in the Dark

"You are not afraid of the dark, you are afraid of the man...in...the dark."

- The Litch introducing the presence of The Man in the Dark.

The Man in the Dark is a humanoid entity discovered alongside The Litch in the tape "The Damned Litch".

Appearance
The Man in the Dark seems to a humanoid entity with porcelain or pale skin. Similar to The Litch, he also has a permanent grin pasted onto his face along with completely blackened eyes. Not much can be said for his attire or appearance further as we only see his head appear in a darkened hallway.

Personality
Since The Man in the Dark's appearance is only briefly shown throughout the tape, it could be assumed that he shares The Litch's sadistic pleasure in frightening victims (as The Litch introduces him when mentioning the viewer's supposed fears).

Origin
The Man in the Dark's first appearance is in the form of a glitch during the initial encounter of The Litch within the sewers by Ryan's exploration. There is a red outline of his face which appears briefly before disappearing along with the footage of the exploration's findings.

His second appearance is when an introduction to the urban legend is mentioned (via The Litch attempting to install random irrational fears into the viewer of the tape). The Litch discusses about not fearing death itself but the build-up/consequences leading up to the demise in general. This is suggested by it's comment about "not fearing heights but fearing the fall" or "not fearing the knife but fearing who's blood will be stained on the blade".

However, when it mentions about the viewer not being frightened of the dark, it hesitates as it states that the fear is actually about the man in the dark. After a moment of silence, The Man in the Dark can be seen in the darkened hallway behind the doll, peering into the room before the footage cuts to black.

Trivia

 * It could be assumed that The Man in the Dark is a physical entity made to induce more paranoia into victims or cause physical confrontation.
 * Or - in other sense if it is possible - a frequent hallucination made by The Litch to frighten it's victims further (as he is only introduced to the viewer when mentioned by The Litch).
 * There's no actual confirmation if The Man in the Dark serves a greater risk than The Litch itself.
 * The Litch and The Man in the Dark could serve to represent "intrusive thoughts" that a viewer may have at times, most specifically graphic and sometimes violent ones.
 * Like the doll, there's no records of The Man in the Dark causing any casualties and/or deaths.
