227: Episode 227 - The Slenderman Stabbing

On May 31, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, lured their best friend Payton Leutner into the woods and stabbed her 19 times.

They claimed it was in an attempt to become proxies of the fictional character Slender Man.

But what really happened in the woods that day?
