In this chilling episode, we explore the dark and mysterious world of Creepypasta—the viral horror stories that have captivated online audiences for over a decade. From the origins of Slender Man and Jeff the Killer to the haunted Ben Drowned legend, we dive into the most famous Creepypasta characters and their disturbing impact on modern horror culture. Discover how these internet legends blurred the lines between fiction and reality, leading to real-life tragedies like the Slender Man stabbing in 2014. We also examine the psychology behind the allure of monsters, dark creatures, and macabre tales. Why are we so drawn to fear? Join us for a deep dive into the history, evolution, and dark side of Creepypasta—where nightmares come to life.
