Summary
This week Zach shares stories of the weird and scary internet creepy pasta phenomenon that is Slenderman. Although created out of whole cloth in 2009 on an online message board, no fake character has ever achieved the same level of notoriety. And despite the fact that Slenderman’s origin can be traced back to a single person, the lore developed cult-like following and even led to several attempted murders. Tune in this week to hear about the scary and bizarre world of Slenderman.
