Ep 25.2: Modern Folklore or Public Menace: Creepy Pasta

SPECIAL 2 PART 25th EPISODE PARTY: PART 2

 The website Creepy Pasta has become a nearly ubiquitous cultural phenomenon. This site offers users a chance to share short fiction in a variety of media. The stories are generally scary, but they range in genre from classic horror to speculative fiction to political thriller. It’s safe to say that among a subset of Internet users, a few of these stories have become legendary. Have the lines between written stories and oral tradition been blurred by the online community? Is this folklore? Are these stories urban legends? They’ve certainly left a mark, perhaps most infamously inspiring one attempted murder involving three 12-year-old girls. Join us this week as we celebrate our 25th episode, and explore the Creepy Pasta greatest hits from “The Russian Sleep Experiment” to “Slender Man”, and ask what this new form of story swapping means for modern culture.

Ch 6: They Needed Magic

You’ve broken your promise to the Curator, and returned to
explain mysterious occurrences. You’re surprised to be introduced
to her old friend, and learn the story of his creator. Entering the
world of vaudeville, spiritualism and the technological innovation
that marked the earliest part of the twentieth century, we learn
about magic in this new age from a fitting ambassador, the Great
Joseffy. 

—If you are a new listener, please start with the prologue
—–

Score: The Illusionist by Phillip Glass
