Ted the Caver: What Waited in the Dark | Internet Legends and Ghost Stories

What this episode covers

There are stories that belong to old forests, stories tied to ruined churches, and stories whispered beside fires long after midnight. They feel ancient, as though they have always existed, passed from one voice to another until nobody remembers where they truly began. But every so often, a legend is born somewhere much newer.This one came from the early internet, back when websites were crude, pages loaded slowly, and strangers wrote things online with no easy way to know if any of it was true. In 2001, a man calling himself Ted began posting updates to a simple website about a narrow cave passage he and a friend were trying to force open. At first it read like an ordinary climbing journal. Then it became something else.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ted-the-caverhttps://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3488602/slender-man-creepypastas-ted-caver/https://lostepisodecreepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/Ted_the_Caverhttps://caver.neocities.org/page10https://caver.neocities.org/page8https://grahamjw.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/ted-the-caver-mystery/https://web.archive.org/web/20050513231554/http://www.holyshiite.com/caver/index.htmlThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
