In this the debut episode of Season 2, we delve into the world of creepypastas and alternate reality games (ARGs), focusing on the infamous Slender Man incident and the rise and fall of the YouTube channel Fantastic Daily. We discuss the implications of online storytelling, the nature of belief and skepticism, and the impact of hoaxes on paranormal communities. Join us as we explore the intersection of fiction and reality, discussing how ARGs and creepypastas blur the lines between the two. We finish the episode by addressing skepticism and belief in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking when engaging with online narratives.
