Twisted Tales with Heidi Wong

It started as a story online.

A troubled teenager. A violent transformation. A character that felt just real enough to stick in your head long after you stopped reading.

Ticci Toby became one of the defining figures of early internet horror: part of a wave of creepypastas that spread through forums, YouTube, and late-night scrolling sessions.

But these stories weren’t just about fear.

They were about identity, trauma, and the strange way the internet turns fiction into something that feels real.

A daughter tortured in the name of faith. A school overtaken by mass possession. And an online “game” blamed for real deaths. Heidi Wong explores the real-world events behind Incantation: examining shared psychosis, cultural possession, the Blue Whale panic, and how belief can override logic, medicine, and reality itself.
