What do you think of these YouTube channels that narrate purportedly true stories and of the stories themselves of course?
YouTube channels like “Let’s Read”, “Creepypasta”, “Corpsehusband”, “What Lurks Between”, “What Lurks Beneath”, “What Lurks Above”, “Unearthing Stories”, “Darkness Prevails”, etc. there’s lots of them now, they seem to be their own genre and market now. Most of them are creepy stories, a few are funny. Most of them seem to take place in America in modern times, a few of them are set outside of America and a few are set in previous decades from people’s memories as well as case studies.
What is the history of these kinds of stories, narrators and YouTube channels? While people have always loved sharing and listening to purportedly true stories, I’ve haven’t noticed these kinds of channels before the previous decade, but that could just be me.
