Ben Drowned

from Scams, Money, & Murder · host Crime House

In September 2010, a college student bought a used copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask at a garage sale, and discovered a save file named BEN belonging to a boy who had drowned years before. What started as glitchy gameplay quickly became something far more sinister: a presence that manipulated the game, invaded his computer, and refused to be deleted. Ben Drowned is the creepypasta that redefined internet horror... and it may have been watching you all along.For more follow Twisted Tales wherever you listen to podcasts: https://pod.link/1839058226Join Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America’s 250th: The Crimes That Built America.
