Creepypasta Spectacular!

If you grew up in the 90's, you may be familiar with the Lavender Town theme song from the original Pokemon game. You may have also heard the disturbing rumors surrounding the creepy chiptune; Child suicides? Mass illnesses? Nope! Just Creepypasta! This week, we talk about the history of Creepypastas; the origin of the word "creepypasta", the first Creepypasta to ever circulate, how the phenomenon came to be so popular, the most popular scary stories, and the origin and true crime consequences of Slender Man, plus the amazing survival story of Peyton Leutner.

If you have a scary story please email or DM it to us!
