What if a video game didn’t just scare you, but started watching you back?

In this episode of FEARFEED, we explore Ben Drowned, one of the most infamous creepypastas and internet horror stories ever created. What begins with an old Nintendo 64, a mysterious copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and a strange save file named Ben slowly turns into something far more disturbing.

As the game begins behaving in impossible ways, familiar characters become unsettling, glitches seem intentional, and the line between a fictional horror story and an interactive nightmare starts to disappear.

We follow the story through its Majora’s Mask imagery, the mysterious Ben save file, the Fourth Day Glitch, the Happy Mask Salesman, the Elegy of Emptiness statue, and the increasingly disturbing events surrounding the player.

But Ben Drowned was more than just a creepypasta. Its presentation as an evolving online story and ARG (alternate reality game) helped make it one of the defining pieces of early internet horror.

This is the story behind Ben Drowned, one of the most iconic creepypastas, gaming horror stories, and internet mysteries of its era.

FEARFEED explores creepypastas, true crime, unsolved mysteries, internet mysteries, strange cases, and the darker stories hidden across the web.

In December 1991, four teenage girls were murdered inside an Austin yogurt shop. What followed was one of the most disturbing investigations in Texas history: thousands of tips, false confessions, wrongful convictions, and a case that remained unsolved for more than three decades.

The Austin Yogurt Shop Murders became infamous not only because of the brutal crime, but because four young men were eventually accused and convicted despite evidence that would later undermine the case against them.

Decades later, advances in DNA analysis, genetic genealogy, and forensic ballistics reopened the investigation. A DNA connection and a ballistic lead eventually pointed investigators toward Robert Eugene Brashers, a man who had already died years earlier.

In 2026, the four men connected to the case were formally exonerated.

In this episode of FEARFEED, we follow the case from the night of the murders through the investigation, the false confessions and convictions, the DNA evidence, the eventual identification of Brashers, and the questions that still surround one of America's most haunting unsolved murder cases.

This is the story of the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders.

FEARFEED explores true crime, unsolved mysteries, strange cases, and the darker stories hidden inside real investigations.

Borrasca is one of the most disturbing stories to emerge from the world of creepypasta and NoSleep. In this FEARFEED deep dive, we explore C.K. Walker’s Borrasca, the mysterious town of Drisking, the Triple Tree, the legend of the Skinned Men, the strange sound coming from the mountains, and the disappearances surrounding the town.

What begins as a childhood mystery slowly becomes a story about secrecy, power, collective denial, and the horrifying things a community may choose to ignore. We examine the clues, theories, characters, and hidden connections that make Borrasca such a memorable piece of internet horror.
