BUT HE MADE ME DO IT: The Slender Man Stabbing

THAT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN…

In this short episode of Chasing Midnight, we’re diving into the accidents, experiments, & unsettling origins behind everyday things you thought you understood. From products that caused real harm, to inventions created out of fear, control, or even pure spite… the deeper you go, the more you start to realize: A lot of the “normal” things in your life were never meant to turn out this way. And once you know where they came from… you can’t really look at them the same again- good or bad. 🔗 Follow us on socials for B.T.S. photos and episode updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok, Facebook → @ChasingMidnightPod 💌 Contact us: chasingmidnightpod@gmail.com

Cursed Slumber Party Games

Sleepover games were supposed to be fun… so why did they feel so cursed? In this episode of Chasing Midnight, we dive into the classic sleepover games many of us grew up playing: Bloody Mary, Baby Blue, Charlie Charlie, Cat Scratch, Light as a Feather, and more. We break down how these games are played, where they came from, and why they’ve stuck around for generations of brave (or bored) kids at slumber parties. The podcast episode focuses on describing the games and their spooky reputations. For the full experience, including us actually playing the games and reacting in real time, head over to our YouTube.

Some were meant to be jokes, some were meant to send a message, and some are still a complete mystery. Turn the lights down, don’t touch the remote, and hang out with us while we dive into the moments when someone else took over the screen. 🌙 Night, night… love you. _______________ 🔗 Follow us on socials for B.T.S. photos and episode updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok, Facebook → @ChasingMidnightPod 💌 Contact us: chasingmidnightpod@gmail.com
