From a mysterious arcade cabinet said to control minds, to a blue mascot with blood-red eyes, to the file that should’ve stayed deleted… these aren’t just fake stories. They’re cultural phenomena.

I’ll be breaking down where these myths came from, how they spread online, and why they still haunt our save files decades later.

Plug in. Power on. And whatever you do… don’t look behind you.
