TRUE CRIME/URBAN LEGEND: Slenderman & The Slenderman Stabbing

CW: violence, mental illness, incarceration, forensic hospitalization, brief mentions of domestic violence, systemic racial violence 

“We didn’t want to go, we didn’t want to kill them, but it's persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time.” In this episode, we do a deep dive into how a creepy curiosity turned into real life horror when two 12 year old girls attempted to murder their close friend. Unpack the eerie with us as we uncover the lore behind Slenderman, explore the social/psychological phenomena behind the girls’ motivations, and the problematic nature of our carceral systems.
