Chapter 1: What is the Slenderman stabbing and its significance?
welcome back to creepcast today we're doing something a little new a little uh something that we've been wanting to try for a bit which is
Talk about something that pertains to creepypasta that is something very real and very horrifying in real life, but it does connect to the thing that we've covered before, which we are coming up now on the anniversary of the Slenderman stabbing, which is a very, very real thing, and it's a fascinating story, and we have...
formatted it in a way to where now it's a digestible story to be ingested the same way as a creepy as a creepcast episode but done in a way where we can you know shed light on something that's uh very real and horrifying yes
I would agree. So yeah, the Slender Man stabbings were on May 31st of 2014. As I'm sure a lot of you know, a very tragic circumstance where a couple young girls became far too invested in internet culture around creepypastas, specifically Slender Man, and became obsessed with the idea that Slender Man was real and they could dedicate themselves as like a a proxy to him.
Uh, and they took out those fantasies on a friend of theirs who we'll get into, but thankfully survived. Um, but it's a very, it's a very, uh, upsetting story. It's a very wild one. Um, especially some of the details of how the young girl survived are, uh, both terrifying and impressive.
So we want to say, yeah, the survivor is, has to be one of the biggest badasses of all time.
Yeah. Her, the we'll, we'll get into it, but the way she lived was pretty, uh, outstanding. Um, I would have died.
once again for people who might not have seen some of the previous episodes that we've done we did a creep tv which was on our show is basically horror adjacent video content in like horror storytelling content in video form that we like to talk about and one that isaiah showed me that uh was a three-part video series Was the... Marble Hornets. Marble Hornets. Marble Hornets. Oh, my God.
I said Mandela Catalog. Not Mandela Catalog. Yeah. The three-part series that we covered was Marble Hornets from years ago. I mean, actually, let me ask you this. Was Marble Hornets was before these, correct? Because it was pretty... It was pretty...

Chapter 2: How did Morgan and Anissa's friendship influence their actions?
These anomalies grew stronger and recurred more often as time went on. In elementary school, she would watch as the colors on the wall melted down to the floor and pulled around her. Not long after that began a woman's voice, which she called Maggie, would regularly talk to her inside her own head.
Morgan herself would grow more concerned about the things she was seeing out of the corners of her eye. Another figure named Sev soon manifested from the anime show she watched. Sev was unlike any of the previous visions because Morgan claimed he felt real to the touch. She treated him as though he were a real person, even allowing him to sleep in her bed.
While lying together, Morgan would place her hand on his chest and feel his heartbeat. In the morning, she claimed she would wake up with hair wet with Sev's drool.
Just want to say how fucking horrifying that is, by the way.
Well, yeah.
I mean, like, the idea of... Just from the... I mean, like... One, I guess, to conquer your...
I feel like this would be so easily discarded as like, Oh, you have imaginary friends or like, Oh, it's just in your head, whatever people like brushing this kind of stuff to the side, but going to that level of detail and that level of clarity of like, I don't know, like feeling someone's heartbeat claiming that you're waking up from Sev's drool from sleeping in your same bed.
I mean, just living with that day in and day out. My God, that would be fucking rough.
Yeah. Yeah. I think, um, it's a hard situation to navigate around. Cause for one, it's hard to understand with the kid, how serious something like this is. Um, like when I was eight, I think I told my mom that I was in love with Raven from teen Titans, which was fitting. And I was proud of my younger self.

Chapter 3: What were the signs of Morgan's mental health issues?
I've looked for it. It's that fucking Pirate Ship game. You control the Pirate Ship. It's a 2D... Pirate game. It's like a driving game where you have the pirate steering wheel. You're probably too young. Do you remember this or no?
No. The only one I remember being real hyped at at Chuck E. Cheese was the Jurassic Park one with the giant spiders. Like the shooting game.
Is that the one where you get to sit in? Yeah, you sit in the actual cab and shoot at them. Dude, the pirate ship game, I can't even fucking tell you. It's my fucking jam. It was called Dead Storm Pirates. And let me tell you, it was just unbelievable. Dead storm pirates.
No, no, no, no.
Hold on a second. Sorry, this is actually desperately important.
People are gonna see the title of this episode. They're gonna be like, how are they gonna get on side tangents with this topic? It's like, oh, you wait. Many thought that the school counselors would have intervened by now, but it was more complicated than that. Both the school staff and her parents believed she was just acting out and being a quirky teen.
Part of the problem was that the school she attended had over 680 students with only two counselors to manage them. Morgan just happened to be one of the many children neglected by the system in which she was raised. For a long time, Morgan's only real friend was Peyton, but as they began to drift apart, she met someone new who would change the course of her life forever.
During middle school, Morgan met another girl named Anissa Weir, who lived near the Geyser home. From an early age, Anissa had a normal childhood, but she was allegedly born with an undiagnosed severe learning disability that ostracized her from people her age. While her life had once been stable, it took a dark turn when her parents went through a bitter divorce.
When her parents split, it affected Anissa's social life even more. What was once a normal kid soon devolved into a lonely, desperate little girl seeking approval from anyone in her life. With her parents focused on the divorce, her needs were sometimes overlooked, and she began to feel pushed aside. When she met Morgan, it felt like a beacon in the darkness, and she clung to her new friend.

Chapter 4: How did the girls plan the attack on Peyton?
Open to rekindle their relationship, Morgan began to show Peyton some of the things she was reading online, assuming that her old friend would bond with her over them as she and Anissa did. However, Peyton was disturbed by what she was being shown, and eventually told Morgan she didn't want to hang out anymore if they would only talk about creepypastas.
Though Morgan was upset by this, she still valued their friendship and respected her wishes. As their friendship dwindled, Nyssa grew closer to Morgan as the two consumed more content online.
Insane that Peyton's mental clarity was that sharp at that age. Hey, if you guys are only going to talk about creepypastas, I don't think I should hang out with you anymore. You know what I mean? We got to tell that to some of our fans, dude. The way they talk in the subreddit and shit.
I mean, to be fair, it is our job.
I know. Trust me. You're hearing this from a guy who it is his job. You know what I mean? I love the idea of Peyton just being like, hey, so if you guys are just going to be talking about Slender Man again for 12 hours, I don't really want to hang out. Because if it was me, I'd just be like, well, I guess this is as good as it gets. This is the high rope right here.
I guess this is, I guess this is pretty much my friends forever now.
I remember one time. So like I showed my dad that, and there were times where like, like I remember playing the goat man at a sleepover and like a couple of the guys thought it was scary and stuff like that.
So you're saying when you're saying playing this, you're just talking about these are online.
I'm just playing the videos. Yeah.

Chapter 5: What were the immediate consequences of the Slenderman stabbing?
You're going to be okay. It's going to be fine.
As her little girl faintly lifted her hand out seeking comfort. The longer she stayed in the trauma room, the more the severity of her daughter's situation sank in. The nurses next to her were counting out the stab wounds.
There's five on her arm. There's seven on her leg. Okay, I count 19.
Chapter 6: How did the police respond to the suspects?
I count 19 as well.
Hearing these words was something no mother could ever imagine. Before she could even begin to process her emotions, her daughter was rushed off to surgery room with a 25 to 50% chance of survival. By the time Peyton was entering surgery, multiple police departments were on the hunt for two suspects of a supposed stabbing.
Chapter 7: What were the psychological evaluations of the girls after the attack?
While driving along Interstate 94, five miles from Davids Park, Waukesha Sheriff's Department Lieutenant Paul Rinkis saw the two girls walking along the interstate after receiving a call of a possible sighting. When he stopped and got out of the car, he was shocked to see that the supposed stabbing suspects were two little girls.
Before he did anything else, he asked if they had anything that could poke him, to which the girls responded that they had a knife in their bag. Before he placed the girls in the back of his squad car, Lieutenant Rinkes noticed the ungodly amount of blood staining Morgan's clothing and asked if she had been injured.
Morgan shook her head and said no, which confused Rinkes even more, prompting him to ask where it came from. Without hesitation, Morgan replied, I was forced to stab my best friend to death. My God. Yeah, well, I mean, like, again, she's delusional. She thinks that she's doing this to save her, you know?
Chapter 8: How did the victims and families cope with the aftermath?
100% it's just, fuck.
Yeah. Good God almighty. This was the exact moment all doubt was erased in Paul's mind. Realizing she was the suspect, he read her her Miranda rights and kindly asked if she'd be willing to talk to him about it.
Yeah, dude. Well, that checks enough boxes for me. I better call this in. Yeah, dude. What? I've got a feeling here. Two little girls covered in blood walking down the interstate. Color me curious. Do you have anything that could poke me? I had to stab my friend for a fictional Tumblr character. Okay. Another box checked.
he has a box that says bring him in my god he has a box that is labeled stat i had to stab friend for fictional internet character it's as big as it's as big as steve's notebook from blues clues he's using a giant crayon he's like doing check marks this is like the spongebob case from last week
Okay.
But that was television.
What do you think, Blue? This is the internet.
What do you think, Blue? He just has a dyed blue German shepherd in the back of his car just barking viciously. Frothing at the mouth. Yeah, I think it's a bit of a coinky dink, isn't it, buddy? We just got a letter. You guys are going to have to sit back there with Blue. Don't put me back.
Now I'm thinking of this cop character going to different scenes and stuff like that. Like someone took their own life and there's a note on the table. He's like, we just got a letter.
