Ep. 62: Cropsey

Deep in the woods of Staten Island, is the abandoned ruins of what used to be Willowbrook State School, a virtual dumping ground for the mentally ill. And from the depths of the horror that was an understaffed and underfunded nightmare, came the legend of Cropsey. This week, Hannah tells Katy about how the legend of the Staten Island boogeyman became all too real when children began to go missing from the small community. Was Cropsey a convenient scapegoat for an unspeakable horror? Or was there really a boogeyman out there, snatching up kids and hiding out in the old Willowbrook tunnels? This one is a rollercoaster, and will leave you with more questions than answers! Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUCLbTqABIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpVEjzO6Dd0https://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/14/nyregion/body-unearthed-on-si-is-that-of-missing-girl.htmlhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/andre-rand-cropseySupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
