Abstract
We analyze nonlocal effects in string theory near black hole horizons. Due to extended string effects, early infalling matter can be detected by late observers long after they fall into the black hole. The nonlocal effects are derived via an analysis of the six-point string scattering matrix in flat space, as well as by probing the scattering with a background dilaton. We also derive simple new string solutions in three dimensions.
