Ep 25.1: What We Talk About When We Talk About Urban Legends: Creepy Pasta

SPECIAL 2 PART 25th EPISODE PARTY: PART 1

 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.

Ep 24: Bystanders Affected

Posted onAuthorJust A Story: Urban Legend Podcast

Every year anxious freshmen shuffle into lecture halls for intro
to psychology courses, they’ll learn names like Freud, Jung,
Skinner, James and Piaget. Without a doubt, they’ll learn the name
Kitty Genovese along with those. Unlike the others on that list,
Kitty never planned on being incorporated in the textbooks and
PowerPoint presentations (had any of them known what PowerPoint
was). She was murdered in New York City in 1964 by a violent serial
offender. Her story is robbed of its complexity and reduced to a
parable, used to illustrate the perils of urban apathy. The concept
is largely responsible for pioneering the study of the bystander
effect. There were real-word, long lasting, far-reaching
consequences, as well. The idea that 38 of Kitty’s neighbors
watched from their windows as she was attacked without bothering to
phone for help haunted policy makers and scholars of human
behavior, as well as people who read about in it newspapers all
across the country for decades. But is it just a story? This week
we take a look at the legend of urban apathy and get to know the
dynamic, brave woman behind the notes in your psych 101 notebook.
Join us as we explore the urban legend of the murder of Kitty
Genovese.
