In 1974, Cryptozoologist, Herbert Mendleson discovered the cryptid he has referred to as "Hallway Man". He has claimed that "Hallway Man" is an inhabitant of the Backrooms (The Complex). "Hallway Man" has been described as a blobfish-like creature with a pasty green complexion. It is unknown what it consumes as sustenance. There has been only been a single sighting and photograph of this cryptid by Herbert Mendleson. Further investigation is required the prove the existence of this cryptid. Herbert Mendleson has said that after going for a stroll in the woods, he fell through the cracks of reality and into the Backrooms, where he encountered this startling being. Armed only with his funky little Polaroid camera, Mendleson snapped what is, at this point, the only known photograph of the Hallway Man. After a brief moment in the Backroom, Mendleson says he was then ejected back to our reality, holding only his camera and the rapidly developing photograph that captured the surroundings he had been in only moments before. After presenting his findings to The Offical Cryptozoology Federation, they deemed the discovery of this new being to require more research before being validated. (The Official Cryptozoology Federation was a splinter faction of the International Society of Cryptozoology, and was active until its collapse in 1999 following a bitter feud between its two leaders.) This feud, between leaders Harry Albertson (head of the International Society of Crytozoology) and Reed Silverspoon (leader of The Official Cryptozoology Federation), lasted many years and is why the potential discovery of Hallway Man has remained inconclusive.
