Slenderman Made Me Do It

This week, we’re stepping into a case where an internet legend bled into real life.

We’re talking about the Slender Man stabbing, a story that sits at the unsettling crossroads of childhood, belief, and the dark corners of online mythology. We’ll rewind to a quiet Wisconsin town, explore how a fictional figure took hold of young minds, and unpack the events that shocked the world and sparked huge questions about responsibility, reality, and the power of stories we tell ourselves.

It’s a case that’s less about monsters in the woods and more about fear, influence, and how something imaginary can have very real consequences. So grab something comforting, take a deep breath, and join two girls who are still winging it, gently laughing through the nerves as we try to understand one of the most disturbing modern true crime cases, and why it still makes people uneasy today.
