Gather 'round the digital campfire as we journey through the internet's most spine-tingling legends and folklore! This episode spirals from hilarious personal anecdotes about algorithm mishaps to deep dives into the most haunting corners of internet culture.
We kick things off by dissecting the infamous Russian Sleep Experiment—that creepypasta that had us all convinced Soviet scientists had created monsters through sleep deprivation. Remember that terrifying image that circulated with it? Turns out it's just a Halloween prop called "Spasm," but that knowledge doesn't make it any less nightmare-inducing when we recall how it terrorized our younger selves.
From there, we explore the fascinating world of Pugwudgies—the mischievous, sometimes malevolent goblin-like creatures from Native American folklore. These small but mighty beings are said to possess incredible powers: shapeshifting, invisibility, and even the ability to lure people to their deaths. We debate their threat level (somewhere between 6-10, depending who you ask) and notice striking similarities between these creatures and similar entities in Mexican folklore, suggesting a universal aspect to these supernatural beings.
The episode culminates with our journey into the bizarre universe of the SCP Foundation—that collaborative fiction project describing a secret organization containing anomalous objects and entities. From the deadly SCP-096 that hunts anyone who sees its face to the absurdity of sentient plastic flamingos coordinating attacks on suburban families, we highlight some of the most creative entries in this expansive digital mythology.
Whether you're a longtime fan of internet horror or just curious about the stories that keep digital natives up at night, this episode offers the perfect blend of genuine chills and side-splitting commentary. Drop us a comment with your favorite creepypasta or SCP—we'd love to know which digital monsters haunt your dreams!
