Why Does Slender Man Hang Around The Woods?
The sinister Slender Man is known for inhabiting wooded areas, and performing his acts of terror not too far from said places. However he is not tied to the woods since he has sometimes appeared in open fields, and briefly in urban areas. Yet there are usually wooded parks nearby when he makes rare urban appearances. Some have suggested that forests are a convenient place to hide. Certainly as a tall shape shifter hiding behind tree trunks,and springing out to scare unsuspecting campers, and hikers is a favorite pastime of his. Although various psychics, seers, and mystics who have seen Slenderman’s home Dimension know that our wooded areas most resemble where he came from before being sentenced here for crimes against his own people. This has been doubly confirmed by the only three people verified as visiting the Slender Dimension, and returning to tell the tale. Technically psychics, and telepaths read their minds because they were in a permanent catatonic state for the rest of their short lives!
The Slenderman’s Parallel Dimension, not Universe, is densely scattered with immovable shiny jet black cylindrical monolith pillars that extend from the ground into the roof of the sky. In Parallel Dimensions It’s possible for the dimension to end in the sky thereby creating a impenetrable barrier. Therefore Slender Man’s Dimension has no outer space to explore. In addition the ground itself is another wall of the dimension so there’s no digging down. These monoliths vary in girth, and texture. Some are somewhat smooth while others are very rough. There is indeed a resemblance to tree trunks. The places where they appear to puncture the dimensional barrier in the sky, and on the ground have a moving flow pattern that looks like leaves blowing in the wind on tree branches. This is caused by the subtle movement of the pillars themselves despite Slenderman’s people inability to cut them down, or destroy them in any way. View of the sky, and ground is sometimes obstructed by varying densities of a foreboding gray fog consisting of a substance of unknown origin. Most likely the extent of their weather patterns as no precipitation occurs. It’s known that Slender’s sometimes use it to bathe themselves.
The substance these paranormal pillars are made from is unknown but it’s properties would make you think it’s stone. Yet every so often a monolith springs a leak, and a sappy black blood like substance pours out. It’s been said that Slender Man’s ancestors drank this as food before they lost their mouths, and the need for physical sustenance. Sustenance familiar to us was replaced by metaphysical energy. After a great period of time extremely old pillars will finally crumble into dust but new ones always appear to grow simultaneously from the ground, and roof before meeting in the middle to form a new monolith. Smooth ones are new while old ones have very irregular surfaces. In most places within Slender’s Dimension they are densely packed so this seems to be the reason why his people evolved the need to become shape shifters so they could weave around those pesky things.

So now you know why Slenderman relishes the forests, and woods of the prison planet 
Updated Note: Talk of Slenderman living in a forest mansion are false! He prefers shape-shifting with the trees. However, he does have various caverns around the world where he keeps the children he kidnaps in an eternal state of stasis.
