Hopefully this settles whethere he isn't real or he is. I have never once come across a figure like Herobrine. And yes, Ispharel counts. Never, EVER, has anything weird happened to me like Herobrine besides one thing: i found a 4 block high pyramid made out of cobble on my singleplayer. I have a blog about that. But really, when Herobrine was first "Added" into minecraft (he never was, people just SAID he was) the first story was, actually, fake. The people who created it said, "This was a joke and it ISN'T real". Notch has never added him, and he, ummm, HOPEFULLY, wont add him. (That would creep me out if 1.1 was -added Herobrine) Really, people who don't have any screenshots of him are not telling the truth. I have never come across him in minecraft, and neither have you. I hope. I hope this clears up about the question of "Is Herobrine REAL?" Because the answer is no. Just plain NO.
