Two men went deep into the Dutch Forest: one, a small, meek man; the other, a monster.
They walked for days, until, out of food, they got desperate. The monster murdered the meek man, and ate him for dinner!
He left no remains, whatsoever, and was seen by no one. On his return to civilisation he told no one.
Who was the murdering, cannibalistic monster?

Answer
Me!I told no one, therefore no one else could know about the incident. Only the murderer could tell the story!

mike cook in North Carolina says that was retarted
does anyone else agree with mike cook in North Carolina?
I thought is was pretty good but mke cook in North Carolina didn't think so!!!!
North Carolinians are stupid anyway, so they wouldn't get it! I thought it was a great teaser! I'm gonna put this one in my favorites!
Good job!! Didn't see that, but now you have a bunch of people who know!
lol funny
Oh dear...I don't think I'm going on a walk with YOU in any forests... lol j/p Of course, if we had seen your user name, we might have made the connection... Good riddle.
Ya, it's just like that story in Star Wars EP3. Palpatine is telling Anakin a story with details only the person in the story would know.
you got me!!!!!!!!
lol Nice
Thanks for all your possitive feedback guys
and special thanks to mike cook in North Carolina

ur name gave it away. if i looked i soo would have known... maybe its like those things were they seem super hard, but the answer is SO obvious, but u dont get it and once you find out the answer, its like a smack in the face, and you dont get how you couls have missed it. WEIRD
Pretty freeky.
You are telling us about the incident so the fact that he never told anyone is not necessarily true. ???
oh well
Goodteaser and god bless

Stumped me at first. Cool one keep on putting them out.

I liked the teaser...
I don't like Mike Cook...

I really liked the teaser. I'm also from N.C & don't consider myself stupid. Anyway great job and keep the scary stuff coming.
Great teaser!!! by the way..... who's mike cook?
Wow that was awesome! Didn't see it coming!
don't eat me too!!!!
Sorry, I didn't like that one at all. Seemed to be a bit of a cop-out. Have we run out of ideas? I have to agree with the North Carolinian! Hate to be so blunt, but would you rather I lie to you guys? Besides, the comments section is open to ALL comments, right? Not just the "nice" ones? Let's not forget that, people!
No I haddn't run out of ideas I thought this was a good one, and judging by the fun rating, so did many others. But as you say everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I can take critisism as well as compliments and apreciate all constructive feed back - good or bad.
Hmmm... oh course, no other possible answer... fairly cute though although I wish that it could have had some other twist. Oh well, like it anyway .
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuun..

i really liked it , it was weird but i liked it
Wow! That was cool! I don't know how you thought of that! Twisted my brain! Nice one!
wow ! all i can say is wow !
I liked it! But by telling us this teaser, are you contradicting the statement that you haven't told anyone?
Okay, I'm thinking too hard.

Remind me never to met you in a forest
cLEVER!
(You have darkside my friend!)

Good one. I thought about it for too long hehe
heh good one
Nice!
lol nice one! hahaha i get it, monster...
dont eat me!!! lolz
dont eat me!!! lolz
i soooo over thought that. I was thinking it was Dr Frankenstein and his monster in the forest, so even though the monster ate him, the dr frankstein is actually the monster because he made the monster that ate him....but then i read caniballistic and thought i dont recall the dr eating people.. ...meh. i think too much then not enough..brain needs a calibration.
that was halarious if i'd seen who made the the teaser (i din't look there!) i might have gotten it! loved it great teaser
Give me a break. That was a terrible imitation of a teaser,unless it was intended for the under 10 readers.
You ate the guts, bones, hair, teeth, and all that other stuff? Ewww....
I figured the answer was "the one who came back." Hmmm. Not sure I understand this at all.
I thought to myself "Who wrote this silliness ?" and when I looked I knew it was you ! It was easy, but still a lot of fun. thanks for making me feel smart. That doesn't mean I am smart (heaven forbid I should say that.... I mean what would the neighbors say?) Right Bearo1?
Even with the "monster" clue, I missed it. Very nice.
if would've helped if i read who the author was first. I didn't quite get it until I read the comments. I was thinking the "me" was the fact that if nobody else knew about the murder then the only person that could have shared the story was the one who did it. Kind of like the stories where a group goes off on a trip and finds a monster (no pun intended) but there were no survivors, then how did the story come back type of logic. Thumbs up, though!
Ah, it all makes sense now! Good one!
shouldn't this be trick? really good, though
It was logical that if he told no one, then how did the storyteller know about it ? Simple the teller was the monster. Grizzly story.
Is this teaser even rated PG??
This is actually the first teaser I didn't like. Just sounded too morbid for me and I didn't really think the answer was that great. Sorry--

If it's a monster as in not human, then it's (you're) not a cannibal
Just thinking...
Just thinking...
That was gross! Even saying it was you makes me queazy! Did not like it at all. Sorry!!
This type of teaser is so stereo typed that everybody should know the answer in seconds.
Nice negativity there 'cute'bug
I liked it, good job!

I think this should be in the Trick category. "Logic" is more along the lines of, "If the color is either black, grey or white, and it's not found in chess, what is it?" Everything necessary to solve the "logic" problem is given explicitly.
Agreed, FatHead. That's what I was going to say. Yes, the answer comes from an apparently logical deduction, but this is more of a trick question. I actually don't entirely like this teaser. The puzzle (like most brain teaser stories) is quite clearly a fictional tale, from the start, and being a fictional story, the author and the readers are completely outside of its universe. Therefore any of us in this world are perfectly capable of knowing things in the universe of the story that no one else in that universe knows. The only validation would be if this were in fact a true story, in which case, you should have kept this little secret to yourself! But I do appreciate the trickiness and creativity. Not bad, but I don't know if I agree with it.
I agree with others: this should be in the 'Trick' category!
Had you commenced with: If....... , it might then have qualified for the 'Logic' category?

Doesn't work; you've already told the story.
Cute, but I completely agree with RobWood. Telling the joke disqualifies the teller.
That criticism does not mean I didn't like it. It is a fun little paradox.

Nice.
I should've gotten it from your name. I saw your name and got a sense it had something to do with it, but didn't take it to the next level!
I answered: Maybe?
"Who", could have been the monster.
I agree with others; should be in Trick category!
