Episode 1- The Slenderman Stabbing case…

On May 31, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls,
Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, lured their friend Payton Leutner
into the woods and stabbed her 19 times in a chilling attempt to
appease the fictional internet character Slenderman.
Miraculously, Payton survived. This case shocked the world—not
just for its brutality, but for how deeply internet folklore
blurred the line between fiction and belief. In this debut
episode of The Wall of Unusual, we explore the events leading up
to the attack, the disturbing motivations behind it, and the
aftermath that raised urgent questions about mental health,
juvenile justice, and the influence of online mythologies.
