Mystery Time with M: Episode 6- The Slender Man Stabbing ft Emma Fielder
Added 2020-09-29 03:15:38 +0000 UTCOn May 31, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, 12-year-olds Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their best friend Payton Leutner into the woods and stabbed her 19 times in an attempt to prove their loyalty to Slender Man. The age of the assailants coupled with a silly creepypasta from the internet being the motivation behind their crime began a conversation about younger generations who find themselves susceptible to what's on the internet. Listen to me and one of my favorite people in the entire world, Emma Fielder dive into the crime and the allure of Slender Man.
DISCLAIMER: there are mentions of suicide in this so please be aware of that before you dive in.
Oh and a side note: I was running on 3 hours of sleep and didn't want to get tired so I chugged a Monster energy before we recorded this so if I sound like I am breathing loud, it's literally because I was jittery as heck.
Thanks again to Emma for joining me this month. This was literally so much fun! If you aren't following her, I want you to tell me why in the comments jk but for real, go follow her!
