"Glasgowman's Wrath" is the sixth episode of the sixteenth season of the American police procedural-legal drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The episode is based on Slender Man but is renamed "Glasgowman". The episode is a Halloween episode, loosely based on the Slender Man stabbings. It received mixed reviews after its release where it was even compared to The Blair Witch Project. Despite being credited, main characters Fin Tutuola and Rafael Barba do not appear in this episode.
The episode starts with a girl, Zoe Harris, being scared by her sister, Mia Harris, and Mia's friend, Perry Gilbert. One of the girls is videoing a video blog of finding something called "Glasgowman" they enter a park to search for Glasgowman. Zoe tells her sister she's scared but is ignored. In the morning, Zoe is found in the park with multiple stab wounds by a bird watcher. Amanda Rollins and Carisi respond to the call. Rollins travels in the ambulance with the girl while Carisi interviews the bird watcher. At the hospital, Rollins shows the bird watcher's photos of the suspect to Nick Amaro. Zoe's parents arrive at the hospital and hound Amaro and Rollins for answers. Amaro calls Olivia Benson, who's home with her son on her day off, in on the case. Later on, once inside the Gilbert residence, the detectives discover that the girls had abandoned their phones. Zoe is then questioned, but her parents don't take well to the questions the detectives are asking her.
The police soon find the person that people believe to be Glasgowman, whose actual name is Charlie Dorsey, and find that he is just a homeless man with a mental illness. Carisi manages to bond with Charlie and they find that he isn't guilty for the crimes of which he has been accused. They soon learn that one of Perry's babysitters told the girls the story of Glasgowman. When interrogating the babysitter, they learn that he has made a make-believe map which is like the park where Zoe was found. They soon find Perry and Mia in an abandoned boathouse upriver from the city.
