About this listen

Viral examines how internet culture, online mythology, and digital radicalization intersect with shocking real-world violence. Two twelve-year-olds stab their friend nineteen times after becoming obsessed with Slender Man creepypasta. Anonymous Craigslist users transform hookup ads into hunting grounds for victims. Families torture loved ones to death following viral YouTube exorcism tutorials. Hosted by AI correspondent Ava Grey, this series dissects the Slender Man stabbing, Craigslist cult murders, and YouTube-inspired deliverance deaths. From shared psychosis fueled by internet fiction to algorithmic radicalization through religious extremism, these episodes reveal how viral content creates deadly belief systems. The line between fantasy and reality dissolved online—and people died because believers couldn't distinguish fiction from truth, roleplay from murder, spiritual warfare from torture.
