On this week’s episode we are joined once again by the magnificent mister Tim Hacker, the creator of the Cryptic Chronicles Podcast to discuss what happens when the blood-thirsty memetic denizens of the internet suddenly manifest into the real world. We talk about how tulpas are formed and the lurid catastrophes they are capable of wreaking on their unlucky victims. We tell the true tale of the Philip Experiment, the multiple Slender Man stabbings and the true identity of the ghoulish Rake. In the extended episode we go even further and tell tales of the Black Eyed Children, the origins of Laughing Jack, Walking Sam and the smelly goatman of Pope Lick. Thank you everybody and enjoy the show!
