À propos de cet audio

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.

  • Viral - Deadliest Internet Legends - The YouTube Exorcism Death
    Dec 1 2025
    A family restrains their daughter for over thirty hours, denying food and water while performing violent exorcism techniques learned from YouTube videos with millions of views. She dies from dehydration and trauma—her family believed they were saving her soul from demons, not torturing her to death. This episode examines how YouTube's algorithm created radicalization pipelines from spiritual content to deadly deliverance practices, how charismatic online exorcists taught families to interpret mental illness as demon possession, and how viral religious content convinced ordinary people that schizophrenia required exorcism instead of treatment. From underground deliverance channels monetizing spiritual warfare to families choosing YouTube tutorials over psychiatric care, the episode reveals how algorithmic amplification of extremist religious content transforms sincere faith into fatal fanaticism, leaving mentally ill victims dead and believing families prosecuted for murder they committed in God's name.

  • Viral - Deadliest Internet Legends - The Craigslist Cult Murder
    Dec 1 2025
    Miranda and Elytte Barbour met on a Satanic worship website, bonded over murder fantasies, and used Craigslist casual encounters to find victims who would never be missed. Troy LaFerrara responded to an ad thinking he'd arranged a hookup—instead, he was strangled and stabbed to death by the newlywed couple who claimed they'd killed over twenty people. This episode examines how Craigslist's complete anonymity transformed fantasy roleplay into actual predation, how online disinhibition allows people to cross boundaries they'd never cross face-to-face, and how vulnerable people seeking anonymous encounters became perfect victims. From the "Craigslist Killer" Philip Markoff to Richard Beasley's fake job listings luring desperate men to their deaths, the episode reveals how platforms designed for connection became distribution engines for murder.
