The dark case of the Slenderman Stabbing

The dark case of the Slenderman Stabbing

Cheryl and Nikki Druce are diving into the world of creepypastas to meet one of the most deadly internet myths of all time… Slenderman. It’s a balmy Friday night in May in the suburb of Waukesha Wisconsin in 2014. 12 year old Payton is getting ready to celebrate her best friend Morgan's birthday at a sleepover, along with their friend Anissa. Just 12 hours later, Payton is found abandoned in the woods and barely alive after being stabbed 19 times by her friends. They say they did it to appease Slenderman. Police had two questions on their hands… who was Slenderman, and why did two 12 year old girls brutally attack their friend in their quest to meet him? Cheryl and Nikki are about to find out. Expect a 101 on internet scary stories, tales of dodgy fanfics and some of the most haunting words to have ever been spoken by a 12 year old…

This episode contains graphic details of violence, including violence against and perpetrated by children, and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The Spooky Sleepover: Can you manifest a ghost?

Cheryl’s mid-air and producer Alex is away, but Nikki is joined by a very special guest (and I think our spookiest one yet), Jed Shepherd — an actual horror movie maker. Jed’s film 'Host' is scientifically proven as the scariest horror film EVER. Together we’re deep diving into our rabbit holes of the week: can we manifest ghosts? Jed takes us back to the playground ghost hunts he used to run in primary school and it turns out… he started to get haunted by his own ghost and if you lived in south London, maybe you were too? Plus, we uncover if some prop bodies may actually be real life HUMAN CORPSES?! And we discover the origins of the Sourtoe Cocktail — the drink garnished with a human toe. Would you be brave enough to take a sip? Find out What Nikki and Jed think!Find Jed here: https://www.instagram.com/jedshepherdGot a theory? Been lost in a rabbit hole? We want to hear from YOU!
