The site, in 2008
A website claiming that thousands of people around the world had dreamed of the same eerie man, with his sketch, dreamers' stories and theories about him.
Italian marketer Andrea Natella created it in 2008. It went viral in October 2009 with over two million visits, and in 2010 he revealed it as an invented project; Vice still interviewed him as if it were real in 2015, then retracted.
In 2008: Andrea Natella put up the site with an identikit face and a story that the first sketch was drawn in 2006.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
