In this three-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look a three cases of intrigue:

• My Immortal: The year is 2006, emo rock is so very in and the Harry Potter fandom is at an all-time high. Enter Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, the core protagonist of what would go down as the most notorious fanfiction of all time and one whose legitimacy still is debated today
• Ted the Caver: March 2001, a caving blog appears on Angelfire mostly unnoticed. What starts as a wholesome chronicle of sheer determination, man vs his environment, turns into one of the internet's first Creepy Pastas. Who is Ted? What happened? And is any of it even real? (part 2: Ted the Caver Revealed)
• Ong's Hat: The town that's not actually a town, and not just because it's an unincorporated community with a population of zero. The Hat may have only ever comprised one single building: Ong's Hut. But for a place that barely exists it somehow is the subject of one of the internet's most bizarre tales
