Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of Wives and Knives, a true crime podcast with your hosts Dani & Kelly.

Happy Halloween 🎃 We hope all of our lovely listeners are keeping safe & well out there. This week we’ve got a modern urban legend which inspired a gruesome attack. Dani covers the origins and Myth of Slenderman before taking us through the very real case of Payton Leutner, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser. 🖤 D&K xxx
