    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: Slenderman

    He’s tall. He’s faceless. He lurks in the woods, on playgrounds, and in the corners of blurry photographs. Slenderman isn’t just another urban legend—he’s the internet’s first viral monster. In this episode, Amber and Gina uncover the eerie origins of Slenderman. From his 2009 birth on the Something Awful forums to his rapid spread across creepypasta sites, YouTube series like Marble Hornets, and viral games like Slender: The Eight Pages, Slenderman became the perfect modern boogeyman. But the story didn’t stay online. In 2014, two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin lured their friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, claiming they did it to appease Slenderman. The victim survived, but the case shocked the world and forced everyone to reckon with the power of online folklore. 🎧 Subscribe & follow Weird True Crime for more real stories, real people, and cases that refuse to be forgotten. 📩 Have a case you want us to cover?

    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: Humans Can Lick, Too

    It’s one of the simplest but most unsettling urban legends ever told: a girl comforts herself at night by letting her dog lick her hand—only to find out in the morning that her dog is dead, and the intruder has left a message scrawled on the mirror: “Humans can lick too.” In this episode, Amber and Gina dive deep into the chilling urban legend known as The Licked Hand (or Humans Can Lick Too). With an extended campfire-style narration, sarcastic commentary, and true crime context, they explore why this story continues to haunt us. From home invasion cases like Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, to unsolved intruder murders, the legend reflects very real fears about safety inside our own homes.  🎧 Subscribe & follow Weird True Crime for more real stories, real people, and cases that refuse to be forgotten. 📩 Have a case you want us to cover?

    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs

    “Have you checked the children?” That single question has haunted sleepovers, campfires, and horror movies for decades. On this Wicked Wednesday, Amber and Gina unravel the terrifying urban legend of The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. You know the story: a teenage babysitter alone in a house, creepy phone calls, and the shocking twist that the calls are coming from inside the house. But what if this wasn’t just a campfire tale? In this episode, we explore the chilling real-life murder of Janett Christman, a 13-year-old babysitter brutally killed in Columbia, Missouri in 1950. Her unsolved case bears an eerie resemblance to the legend and may have inspired its spread. From true crime origins to Hollywood adaptations like When a Stranger Calls and Scream, we break down why this story continues to terrify generations. Expect creepy narration, sarcastic commentary, and a shallow dive into the folklore that turned one babysitter’s nightmare into horror legend. 📢 Follow & Subscribe: Subscribe on Patreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrime Website: www.weirdtruecrime.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrime TikTok: www.tiktok.com/weirdtruecrime YouTube: www.youtube.com/@weirdtruecrime Email: weirdtruecrime@gmail.com Edited by - djaudio22@gmail.com  Leave us a review and share your thoughts — it helps so much!

    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: The Hookman

    What happens when teenage love, late-night parking, and a hook-handed killer collide? Today, Amber and Gina dive into one of the most chilling urban legends of all time—The Hookman. You’ve probably heard the story whispered around a campfire: a couple parked at Lover’s Lane, a news bulletin about an escaped asylum patient, and a bloody hook left hanging from the car door. But did you know this legend is rooted in real crimes? From the 1946 Texarkana Moonlight Murders to the rise of parental scare tactics in the 1950s, this episode unpacks the terrifying origins of The Hookman, why the story spread like wildfire, and how it’s been passed down as both a cautionary tale and horror folklore. Expect creepy narration, sarcastic commentary, and a deep dive into how real fear inspired one of America’s most enduring legends. 📢 Follow & Subscribe: Subscribe on Patreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrime Website: www.weirdtruecrime.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrime TikTok: www.tiktok.com/weirdtruecrime YouTube: www.youtube.com/@weirdtruecrime Email: weirdtruecrime@gmail.com Edited by - djaudio22@gmail.com  Leave us a review and share your thoughts — it helps so much!
