In 2014, a chilling crime emerged from the quiet town of Waukesha, Wisconsin—one that blurred the line between childhood fantasy and real-world horror. Two twelve-year-old girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, lured their best friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times… all in the name of Slender Man.

On this episode of Among Monsters, host Myia Vale takes you deep inside the disturbing case of Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, examining how an internet-born myth evolved into a motive for attempted murder. Through court records, psychological evaluations, interrogation footage, and survivor testimony, we explore how belief, mental illness, peer influence, and adolescent vulnerability collided with devastating consequences.

This is not just a story about a crime—it’s a haunting look at how monsters don’t always hide in the shadows. Sometimes, they grow in the mind.
