On May 31, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, lured their friend Payton Leutner into the woods and stabbed her 19 times in a chilling attempt to appease the fictional internet character Slenderman. Miraculously, Payton survived. This case shocked the world—not just for its brutality, but for how deeply internet folklore blurred the line between fiction and belief. In this debut episode of The Wall of Unusual, we explore the events leading up to the attack, the disturbing motivations behind it, and the aftermath that raised urgent questions about mental health, juvenile justice, and the influence of online mythologies.
