A human like mob (NPC to classify him right) was claimed to "haunt" the game Minecraft.

He used the default skin, but has pure white eyes. This was also claimed to be Notch's dead brother, who somehow got into the game...

Herobrine never attacked. He stood there off in the distance staring then disappear.

He made mineshafts, and houses and other things. This is probably why now, the game Minecraft has abandoned mineshafts and npc villages. (And maybe even dungeons!)

As a joke, Mojang (The company that made the game) puts in every update log - "Removed Herobrine"

But, he was never real. As seen from a tweet from notch himself saying that herobrine was never real, and it was a hoax. Yet still today, younger people who are first starting off (AKA noobs) and hear about this, still believe.

Here is a picture of Notch himself saying he was never real and that he doesn't have a dead brother.

A common Minecraft-Related hoax that unatural objects can be generated in the game, such as reskinned/retextured natural blocks or "humanoid" Mobs (NPCs) that quickly dissappear when spotted. It is very similar to the real-life examples of Bigfoot spottings or evidence.
My friend claimed he saw a Herobrine, but it turned out to be two halfsteps on some clay." "The player was banned for constantly bugging others that he spotted a Herobrine Mob.
