Born from an online forum and fuelled by fear, Slender Man became one of the most infamous urban legends of the modern age.

In this Urban Legend Week episode, we unravel the origins of Slender Man — from a creepy Photoshop contest to a fully-formed digital myth that spiralled far beyond fiction. We explore how the legend spread through internet horror culture, viral storytelling, and projects like Marble Hornets, blurring the line between storytelling and belief.

But this isn’t just a spooky campfire tale.

We also examine the disturbing real-world incidents linked to the Slender Man myth, how fictional horror influenced real actions, and why this legend sparked global debate about internet culture, moral panic, and the power of modern mythology.

Is Slender Man just a story… or proof that new folklore can be just as dangerous as the old?

Listener discretion advised — this episode goes dark in more ways than one.

What really happens to the human body after death… and why do scientists need to know?

In this episode, we dive into the disturbing but fascinating world of body farms — secure research facilities where donated human remains are left to decompose under controlled conditions. These sites help forensic scientists understand time of death, decomposition stages, environmental effects, and how bodies break down in real-world scenarios.

We explore the origins of body farms, including the infamous University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility, how bodies are studied in different environments, and why this research is crucial for solving murders, missing persons cases, and cold cases.

From bloating and purge fluids to insects, weather exposure, and skeletal remains — nothing is off the slab. It’s unsettling, scientific, and absolutely essential to modern forensics.

Listener discretion advised… this one gets grim.
