Cyber Folklore - Creepy Pastas & Beyond
We explore the fascinating world of internet horror stories known as creepypastas, examining how these digital folktales have evolved from online forum posts into cultural phenomena with real-world impact.
• Slenderman's origin as a 2009 Photoshop contest entry by Eric Knudsen that evolved into a widespread internet phenomenon
• The disturbing Russian Sleep Experiment story about Soviet prisoners subjected to sleep deprivation with horrifying results
• The Backrooms phenomenon - a contemporary creepypasta about endless liminal spaces that can trap people who "noclip" through reality
• Discussion of how these internet stories function as modern folklore, similar to traditional myths and urban legends
• Philosophical exploration of whether collective belief in fictional entities might give them a form of existence
• The blurring lines between fiction and reality when internet stories inspire real-world actions and beliefs
• Personal experiences with insomnia and lucid dreaming that connect to these digital horror narratives

Speaker 2:Hey, Angie, do you feel like recording an episode?
Speaker 3:I do. Okay, I mean I'm here, what else am I going to do?
Speaker 2:All right. Hello everybody, Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Black Curtain Club podcast. This one is definitely going to keep you up at night. We are sharing our favorite chunk of internet pop culture, with a deep dive into some of the most notorious creepypastas the forums have to offer. My name is Becca and I'm joined by my co-host, Angie. How are you doing'm?
Speaker 3:good, happy to be here.
Speaker 2:Can't wait to listen to your stories do you have a base of knowledge for creepypastas?
Speaker 3:yeah, I mean other than they're just these scary fictional stories on the internet. But some people think that they may not be fictional, that there's some truth running to them. That's basically all I know.
Speaker 2:That's pretty much everybody's base level. I feel like anyone who spent any time on the internet remembers the time their friend traumatized them with some snippet of cyber folklore passed down. So sites like 4chan and Wattpad, I feel like, were the most prevalent, and in this episode I'm going to be sharing a few of my personal favorites and a few of the newer ones that have come out recently. So, to get us started, we're going to talk about Slenderman. Do you know who Slenderman is?
Speaker 3:Oh my god. Yes, I love the Slenderman. What do you?
Speaker 2:know about him.
Speaker 3:That he's a man and he's very slender Okay perfect.
Speaker 2:So I have here, basically, his birth certificate. What so? In 2009, on a website known as Something Awful, a weekly Photoshop contest hosted every Friday received a submission by a longtime user named Victor Surge, whose real name would later be revealed as Eric Knudsen, and his submission to the Paranormal Images contest consisted of two black and white pictures depicting the Slender man surrounded by children and supposed testimonies from witnesses. Slender man was posted on page three of the Something Awful forums on June 10th in 2009. So this is how long he's been around. This is literally where he started. It was a Photoshop contest, wow, and this person won. Yeah, and it was literally. It's the two pictures you've seen. It's literally just children on a playground, slender man in the background, another one where it's just Slender man by some trees, or Slender man in the woods right, it's just Photoshop, but it became this like phenomenon overnight and it kind of helps give birth to creepypastas as a whole. So he's described as a tall, slim figner Figner Figure.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no. I want to go back. It's figner From here on out. It's figner.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tall, slim figner, no discernible facial features. His face is literally blank, so his little arms and legs are long and gangly. He's usually said to be wearing a tailored black suit, and most pictures you can find of the creature highlight the naturally, or the unnaturally, rather tall frame and eerie appearance of him. It's a very uncanny valley, right. It's supposed to be unsettling more than it is like outwardly scary. Hmm, more than it is like outwardly scary. So nearly all of the stories about Slenderman involve kidnapping, stalking, brainwashing of both adults and children, but most of the stories involve kids. So where it gets crazy is the abilities he's supposed to have. So I want to remind everybody that this is somebody that was.
Speaker 2:This is a creature invented for a Photoshop contest. This is not a real being. Slender man does not exist. If you believe in Slender man and think he is coming for you, you need to reflect a little bit, because this is a fake entity that was literally posted online in 2009. He's not some eldritch being. So the abilities he is supposed to have? He has a debilitating effect that causes delirium and hysteria with his victims. He is known not only to prolong death, but to resurrect the deceased. He's considered an interdimensional being granting him the ability to manipulate space and time, create custom worlds and even cause dimensional bleeding, which I had to Google. That this basically means he can control the fabric of the universe, bending reality to his will, but he also might have tentacles.
Speaker 3:Sorry, but what Right? I'm sorry you got me with the tentacles, I wasn't. I'm like trying to get a mental picture of this thing and I'm thinking well, like in aed version of indrid cold and like the men in black, but then you hit me with tentacles and I'm just like I fell apart I feel like indrid cold and men in black were definitely inspirations behind tim, even if nobody is going to come right out and say it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm glad you did so. With slenderman, there are what we consider the big three and these are the major online video series that capture kind of what the story of this cyber cryptid is. That leads into the creepypasta, and essentially they do it in either online video series or they do it in game formats and the way he's been portrayed. So he's been in various web series and video projects. One was called marble hornets. Um everyman hybrid did one and tribe 12. Tribe 12 did one and it used a found footage like blair witch style augmented reality game to get like the forums involved. So instead of it just being like oh, supposedly, it supposedly da-da-da-da, it was literally this game that the people set up that got the comment sections involved in solving a story together across the country and even the world. They would find clues and letters and there were little signs to look for out in the world. There would be coordinates where people could find information. It became this. It was like Pokemon Go. Before Pokemon Go was a thing, slenderman had a Pokemon Go-esque clout, right.
Speaker 2:That's fascinating, and to say that it had a cult following is really an understatement. So since its conception, it's been tied to some scandals, murder and cults. There are two cases of innocent parties being attacked with bladed weapons, with the perpetrators claiming the fake internet monster told them to do it. I don't like to go into these stories. When I talk about Slender man only because I don't think that they deserve notoriety for what they've done. I think that it's kind of it's almost like shameful to bring them up and to like glorify what they've done for the sake of telling this story. So I'll just say like yeah, people have been attacked. People believe in this thing. They think it's an actual entity because it was something that was created on the internet. And that's what leads me into the whole folklore behind it. This is modern day folklore, do you think so?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean it definitely has all the hallmarks of folklore, but maybe I'm getting too philosophical here, but it seems like a lot of legends in the past were also folklore, but it's almost like the folklore itself breathe. It breathe an entity into being. And I'm just wondering, like, is this a phenomenon where this, this modern day folklore has breathed this entity into being? I don't know, maybe I'm too, and that's where no, it's the ether with this, and that's where no, it's absolutely true.
Speaker 2:It reminds me of Men in Black and Injured Cold Mothman, like you said, like they are very similar if you look at their base descriptions and the things that they're supposed to do. They're these like harbingers or catalysts, and it's interesting that it's taken this new form in like a cyber way.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. New form in like a cyber way.
Speaker 2:All right, so that is basically Blender man. It's just a bunch of video games, a couple of online stories and people believing that it's true. The Russian sleep experiment is where I want to go next.
Speaker 3:Oh, I love it. I, Becca, I did not know you were going to be talking about this and I absolutely love this story so much. So go ahead.
Speaker 2:I'm like so excited it online when creepypastas were at their biggest. It is a story that allegedly comes from a top secret Soviet-era military experiment. It supposedly involved five Russian political prisoners being placed in a sleep deprivation chamber as part of an experiment to test the limits of human endurance. The participants were isolated, given no sleep and continuously exposed to gas while being monitored by scientists. So this stretched on for a long period of time and as the days go by, they start to see the test subjects descend into madness. And it starts with talking to themselves. They would not really be able to understand what they were saying, and it starts with talking to themselves. They would not really be able to understand what they were saying, but it was disturbing whisperings and they couldn't figure out who they were talking to and they weren't talking to each other.
Speaker 2:As the days go by, the descent into madness really amps up. It gets to the point where they are taking extreme measures to stay awake. They've become fearful of sleep itself because of the gas it's induced like this paranoia. They don't trust each other. They don't trust the scientists. They are actively blocking the peepholes that the scientists have into the chamber. They're trying to block up the intercom where the scientists can talk to them. They are smearing feces all over the windows so that they can't see in, right?
Speaker 2:Oh my god, oh my god. A couple more days go by and things get quiet and it's very disturbing. They can't see in, they don't know what's going on, they're not even whispering to themselves anymore, it's just quiet. They can read their vital signs and they can see that they are still alive, they're still respirating normally, and it's just quiet. So they just let it go. And then another day goes by and screaming starts, and this is obviously concerning. They can't see what's going on, so they decide a look inside is the best thing to do, and when they open the door, what they see is haunting.
Speaker 2:Essentially, the subjects had started to tear themselves to pieces. To stay awake, like once the tire became too much to bear, they were literally harming themselves, eating themselves. The floor there was like standing water, blood, urine, feces, like they were not in good shape. They all had this like glassy expression. They were all still alive and breathing as if they weren't in pain. Nobody was screaming anymore, nobody was whispering, they were just happily awake.
Speaker 2:Oh, so at some point they decide to turn the gas off and the people don't want this to happen. They are urging the scientists to leave the gas on. They don't want to go to sleep. They try to treat these people and they won't let the people touch them. So it becomes this thing where they have to just stop the experiment, get everybody out. They're gonna patch everybody up and see what they can do. A couple of them died in this process and one that they were able to operate on, according to the story, begged them not to put it under Like it was ripped open still very much alive and begging them to perform while it was still awake so it wouldn't sleep.
Speaker 3:Oh no.
Speaker 2:And so they do what they could and eventually it just gets to the point where the patient's heart gives out and it goes to sleep and that's it it died, it died. It's a very disturbing story. It is blurring the lines between fact and fiction, obviously, and it I think it's very metaphorical. I definitely don't believe this is true. A lot of people do believe this is true. What do you think about this story?
Speaker 3:I mean, I don't know. I think that this could have a ribbon of truth, because we know governments do all kinds of experiments, you know, and some of them have been horrific. So is it within the realm of possibility that you know this, a government would do something like this? Do like a sleep experiment to you maybe, but it's, I think it's. If it did really happen. I think this is just one of those things where, like you said, the lines blur between fact and fiction, and could there be a truth and then somebody just ran with it and made you know another story.
Speaker 2:You can find this story online and there are a few things that the supposed patients say while they're in this state about why they're scared of falling asleep and how humans have forgotten to fear the things in the night because they're sleeping through the night. But when you have this awareness all the time, you start to hear it. It's a very scary story. It's a very scary story. It's a very scary story I wanted to bring up as an insomniac. This story, I think, hit me differently because I am somebody who can stay awake for days at a time and no matter how tired I get. It's like, unless my body is ready to shut down and go to sleep, I'm not going to be going to sleep. So it's definitely interesting to read something like this.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, and you know that, you know I've had my bounce with insomnia too and yeah, like day three, day four of no sleeping, like you do feel like you're unraveling a little bit, you know it's, it's definitely, it's definitely not a pleasant experience to not be able to sleep and the human brain is a very fragile thing.
Speaker 2:like the human mind, soundness can be dipped one way or the other by lack of sleep so quickly, and there is like a point where it almost feels like you don't exist in your own body, like you're separate from the whole world going on around you and times moving differently.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I can see where a story like this has legs. I can absolutely see Russia back in the Soviet era pulling some stuff like this, yeah, and being too scared to tell everybody until now when nobody would believe it.
Speaker 3:And it's interesting because I feel like there are different iterations of the story, because I've seen this story where the patients turn into like they have these disfigurations and they turn into like these monstrous beings, almost they, you know. So I I think yeah it's, it's like another one of these modern folklore kind of stories. But again, you know, you always have to question like where's the thread of truth? I mean, they always say, what is it like? Um, what's the saying? Uh, truth is greater than fiction, or something like that or the truth is stranger than fiction truth is stranger than fiction, right?
Speaker 3:so I don't know, right, it's interesting.
Speaker 2:The next one I want to go into is one of the newest.
Speaker 3:And this is.
Speaker 2:The Backrooms.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, oh my God, the Backrooms, it's so popular.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't know much about this. I still find it it's very vague and it's very up to interpretation what the Backrooms are and what it means for different people Essentially, interpretation what the backrooms are and what it means for different people. Essentially, as a lot of things do. It began as a meme originating on 4chan in 2019. And when I was researching this, I realized that in 2019, 4chan still existed, so that was new to me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I thought that went away a long time ago, but yay, it's still around.
Speaker 2:What the hell do I know? So the idea is that if you noclip or glitch through reality in the wrong place, you might end up in a seemingly endless maze of dilapidated rooms with a constant hum. The rooms are sterile, unwelcoming and disorienting. The goal is to escape without succumbing to exhaustion or something far worse. There are various levels and it's very Labyrinthian in nature, right? It reminds me a lot of Greek mythology, where they're going through all of these trials and tribulations in the Labyrinth, trying to get out or ascend to whatever level they're trying to get to. And these back rooms do have various levels and they have their own set of terrifying rules.
Speaker 2:And it very much reminds me of a dreamscape where it'll seem like reality.
Speaker 2:There's something uncanny valley about it, where there's just the sense of wrongness or this isn't right.
Speaker 2:It feels like you're in some kind of like parallel, perpendicular dimension where everything's just kind of off and you have to figure out what it's trying to tell you to get through it. So from bland monotony it gets increasingly hostile and elements get a lot more horrifying the further down, and the lore around these spaces continues to evolve, and the underlying themes are isolation and the overwhelming theory that you're not alone or the overwhelming feeling you're not alone. They've recently taken on kind of a life of their own. A lot of people were writing and creating and expanding on the lore, taking out creepy scenarios and creating virtual experiences based on the concept. So, with virtual reality gaming and being able to design your own games on websites like Steam, everybody has kind of taken this and ran with it and it's become kind of like a playground in a sandbox that everybody has their hands in. And it's this constantly evolving lore of liminal spaces and I know that you and I recently have dipped our toe into liminal spaces and I just found this very fascinating.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, we yes, liminal space. As soon as you said liminal spaces, I was like, well, yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2:What do you think about it so far?
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, I think it's interesting. I think there definitely is a creepy factor here. I know that there are like video games and all kinds of things that are devoted to backrooms. People make videos like you can see them on tiktok, you can see them on all over social media about like in it. In it it's like real, like people, yeah, and I think there's like this subsect of people that believe that back rooms really do exist.
Speaker 2:It lends to the theory that we're living in a simulation, doesn't it?
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I find that it also kind of ties into lucid dreaming. So, as far as the simulation goes, the thing I always think about when people bring up simulations is the way. Grand Theft Auto 5 is a perfect simulation of a simulation. What exists in the frame for you is all that exists. To load a whole new chunk of the world with endless possibilities and random patterns that will throw random things at you.
Speaker 2:With the NPCs or emissions, you can do the cars that are loading, and there is a theory out there that our lives are a lot like that, with our perspective being the only chunk that's loaded at the time and as we're moving forward, it all kind of blends into this pattern around you and it's a very personalized experience if people don't realize it. And the other thing that it makes me think of is lucid dreaming, and this is the theory that people can take control over their own dreams and this can lead to things like astral projection. These are all theories. They are things that are very hard to prove, but they're very fun to talk about and I wanted to know if you've ever had a lucid dream.
Speaker 3:I have had a lucid dream before and I can tell you that, waking up from that lucid dream, like I can think about it right now and it felt so incredibly real To me. There was no difference in that dream and me sitting here with headphones on and recording this. I can touch things, I can smell. All your senses are alive. They were just as real and alive in that lucid dream.
Speaker 2:And it really bent your brain.
Speaker 3:It really does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've had a few and I've also had dreams where it almost feels like I'm in a liminal space. So that's why the back rooms jumped out at me, because it was like a sensation I didn't have a word for until I started looking into the back rooms and I found out what a liminal space was and learning lessons to all the way here in the future, where, instead of like the natural environment around us, providing these moral lessons, we're learning about beings like Slenderman and the Rake, and we're learning about the Russian sleep experiment and the back rooms, and it's become its own new living breathing folklore. And, honestly, that's all I have for that.
Speaker 3:Well, it's definitely an interesting topic to discuss, right, and you and I know that. You know we've been kind of doing our own little experiments with some things that we can't explain, right, right, you know it. Just, I think there are things in this universe that can't be weighed or measured, and people have experiences. And how do you prove or disprove somebody had disprove, somebody had an experience and it's not real? You know, like, how do you prove? And it's the same thing with, like, ghost hunting, right, we've spent some time talking about that.
Speaker 3:You know, somebody says that they had this experience where they felt something touch them. You know, yank, yank their hair, they could smell things, they could hear disembodied voices, and how do you prove that that didn't happen? And how do you prove that it did happen? You know you have nothing to go on, but the real, lived experience of that person that's telling you. I know that this happened to me. Now, there are times, yes, you know, people have been able to catch things on camera and photo evidence, but there are still these experiences that human beings have and you can't quantify it, you can't wrap it up into a pretty little box and say, aha, this is exactly what this is because everyone's going to have a theory right. People are going to look at things from a very scientific point of view and then other people are going to say that you know, we can't rely on science, we have to go on like tangible evidence yeah, and, and, and so to ground this also in reality.
Speaker 2:Think of, like anytime there's ever been an incident with witnesses, police are going getting everybody's point of view and perspective. They interview 20 people. They could all have a different story about what happened. Are any of them lying or is that what they saw? Is that their reality, what actually happened? And even the court case afterward, like even the jury process, like we can try to prove what happened. But really court case afterward, like even the jury process, like we can try to prove what happened, but really it's. He said. She said it's definitely interesting and it's interesting that people can read something like this on the internet, like Slender man and something like you know, an attempted murder can happen. It makes it very real, it makes it tangible.
Speaker 3:Right, and, and you know, to kind of go back to what we were talking about with, with Slenderman, is it? Is it? Is it a shared psychosis? Because I mean you still? Is it a shared psychosis Because I mean you still? There are people who firmly believe that that is real, that they've seen it, that they've had encounters. And is it enough for a collective, for a mind collective, to bring something to life, into the universe, into reality? I mean, reality is a fickle thing, right, I mean one person's reality is yeah, I mean, is it?
Speaker 3:is it a shared psychosis? Is it something that's really happening? You know, is it schizophrenia, Like what is it?
Speaker 2:Well, you have to wonder if something like psychosis or schizophrenia can invalidate an experience Like they believe this to be true. To them, this is very real. Does that make it real?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I mean, I think that's a lot of the questions that we're grappling with in the experiments and the things that we've been kind of delving into.
Speaker 2:Another creepypasta I didn't go into was the rake, and that's because we kind of touched on it in the Windigo episode Right another being that was created. It was like a forum where they were trying to invent a new monster. And they created this thing with like big, gaping eyes, like a weird disformed naked bald body and it was like a harbinger of doom, much like mothman and injured cold, the men in black slenderman, and it's something that kind of took on a folklore of its own where people would see it and it would be like a premonition of something bad that was going to happen or like a death was about to occur and people would be visited by this thing in the night and it would whisper them things. And there are plenty of people who have recorded and actually gotten whispers and say is the rake? It's visited me and it lends into that as well.
Speaker 2:Like can something that you invent online with a bunch of your idiot friends become an actual entity that chases you down?
Speaker 3:it's an interesting question. I mean, I hope some of the things that you know people and their idiot friends talk about do not come to fruition. But I don't know. It's just that question If enough people believe, does it make it true? You know?
Speaker 2:If there was a creepypasta about the Black Curtain Club, what do you think the Black Curtain Club creepypasta would be? Because I'm immediately thinking it's some kind of secret society. But what does the secret society do? I feel like they do shoddy detective work and instead of going with our gut, we're going with our hearts and evidence and facts there, like a loose line between them and like things that we're just making up because they make sense to us. We're going off of vibes alone. We're like connoisseurs of vibes. It's a very selective society.
Speaker 3:It's really a cult right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a cult, a commune.
Speaker 3:I mean, we already have a secret yurt, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a secret yurt, mystical friends Right.
Speaker 3:We have our own lore.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:With.
Speaker 2:Becca being a Wendigo.
Speaker 3:Yeah, becca, coming on to a weird history episode and dropping some disturbing facts you are a wendigo, yeah I, I I'm just trying to think of, like what, what are I mean we already have so much lore, I mean just in the conversations that we have.
Speaker 2:Um are we our own women in black? Are we like showing up to the scene where mystical, weird, odd shit has happened and we're like flashing a badge that doesn't really mean anything?
Speaker 3:yes, yes, from here, boys.
Speaker 2:Yes, get the. Get the paddy wagon out of here. We have no use for you.
Speaker 3:Where you got ghosts and shit. The one that breaks the case every time is ChatGPT. Yeah, we're just chasing each other around in circles. Ai is our voice of reason. It's like Charlie with Charlie's Angels.
Speaker 2:I mean, there's three of us, so I'm asking questions like what quantifies a murder? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:If you were a rake, where would you be hiding right now? Where can we find you?
Speaker 1:Under what log?
Speaker 2:Do you?
Speaker 3:think that the rake and Slenderman are new cryptids. I, I do. I think they are the new, the new cryptids, and it's interesting because I find that, like it's, it's a weird thing because the rake is very much being associated with Appalachia and I don't know, like where. I need to do a deep dive on the rake because I, honestly, I know a little bit about this.
Speaker 2:So it started in the northeast, like from Maine all the way down New England. It's been seen around Appalachia, but it's also been seen like in the Midwest, like it's one of those things where, once it came out, people were bringing out accounts that existed before the rake was a thing. So it's hard to get like what is the facts and what is the evidence? Like is this just something that has been around for a very long time and we accidentally invented something that was already a thing? It happens all the time, right?
Speaker 3:Right, and like a lot of the other cryptids, are they just born of the same thing, but just in a different time. You know, like let's talk about the squonk. I mean, I don't believe the squonk exists.
Speaker 3:That's blasphemy I, I know, as much as I shut your mouth, as much as I dearly love the poor little squonk, but that's, that's a that comes from a folklore, you know, but it's kind of been breathed into reality. There are people who think that's real. We have squonk festivals, you know. So is it the same in 100 years from now? People are going to truly believe in the rake, truly believe in the Slenderman, and they're doing their own investigations, like right you know?
Speaker 2:imagine archaeologists digging up creepypastas in like 300 years right, you know it's.
Speaker 3:It's like you know, we dig up, you know the, the book of the dead, or you know some kind of artifact from ancient egypt, and we're like, oh, this is what this means and this is this, this is what these people believed. Oh my God, they're 300 years from now. They're just saying, like these people believe.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. So I was looking at like Egyptian artifacts, with Anubis and the bird guy, the bird guy, yeah, the bird guy. We could easily look at that and think, well, these people thought this thing actually existed, which I mean they did. That was their deity, right, but is personifying the elements into a deity different than personifying horror elements into a rake and unleashing that on the world, like once you've given something a name, that kind of makes it real right?
Speaker 3:You're asking the wrong person that because I'm in my own, you know, hole of hell. Yeah, I don't know. It's all fascinating and it's a lot to think about.
Speaker 2:And to the same things like the fear of isolation, confusion, losing your grip on reality, time seeming to like turn against you, and something as natural as sleep like becoming this whole thing, like this own psychological torture. It's very interesting.
Speaker 3:I mean I will say not sleeping for like four or five days. That is psychological torture.
Speaker 2:The longest I've ever been awake is a week, and I cannot express to you how inhuman I felt. From like day four on. I felt like a half being, like I was still aware of everything going on around me, but it was like I was forced into this autopilot right. I'm just like doing and saying, but there's no real thought behind it and I'm just existing until I crash out.
Speaker 3:Right, right, that is all and I'm just existing until I crash out. Right, that is all. That is all I hear. Your overlord is calling for sustenance.
Speaker 2:I mean this was a short one, but I feel like it was still a good job.
