Am 5. April 1722 entdeckte Jakob Roggeveen im Südpazifik Rapa Nui, das die Einwohner „Te Pito o Te Henua“, den „Nabel der Welt“, nannten. Die Insel sollte allerdings unter dem Namen bekannt werden, den Roggeveen ihr gab: die Osterinsel. Wer waren die Einwohner*innen und warum erschufen sie rund 1.000 riesige Steingesichter, die sogenannten Moai, und stellten sie mit dem Rücken zum Ozean auf? Warum fand die Cook-Expedition, die nur gut 50 Jahre nach Roggeveen stattfand, viele Statuen umgestürzt und beschädigt? Und warum stand das Volk der Rapa Nui gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kurz vor der Auslöschung? Was war in den knapp 200 Jahren seit der Entdeckung der Insel durch Europäer geschehen?

But beneath the horror lies a deeper story - one shaped by post-war trauma, shifting societal fears, and the evolution of urban myth in a media-saturated age.We trace the legend's rise from whispered folklore to national panic, exploring how stories like Kuchisake-onna take root, why they thrive, and what they reveal about the fears we try to suppress.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

Transcript:Ca: Al barri exclusiu de Sant Cugat del Vallès, l'aire de primavera omplia l'ambient de noves esperances.En: In the exclusive neighborhood of Sant Cugat del Vallès, the spring air filled the atmosphere with new hopes.Ca: Els jardins donsats de flors colorides i els arbres brotant omplien de vida el lloc.En: The gardens adorned with colorful flowers and budding trees brought life to the place.Ca: Les cases modernes del barri, una al costat de l'altra, eren símbols de tranquil·litat.En: The modern houses in the neighborhood, one next to the other, were symbols of tranquility.Ca: Però, recentment, un misteriós so havia trencat aquesta pau.En: But recently, a mysterious sound had broken this peace.Ca: Cada nit, com si fos un rellotge, un soroll inusual desperta els veïns.En: Every night, like clockwork, an unusual noise woke the neighbors.Ca: Oriol, un resident ben establert, valorava el silenci.En: Oriol, a well-established resident, valued the silence.Ca: Amb una lleugera por al desconegut, solia quedar-se a casa, encara que el so el posava nerviós.En: With a slight fear of the unknown, he usually stayed home, even though the noise made him nervous.Ca: Per contra, Laia, que acabava d'arribar a la comunitat, trobava l'enigma emocionant.En: In contrast, Laia, who had just arrived in the community, found the enigma exciting.Ca: Amb una curiositat insaciable, volia resoldre el misteri.En: With insatiable curiosity, she wanted to solve the mystery.Ca: Una nit, Laia va tocar a la porta d'Oriol.En: One night, Laia knocked on Oriol's door.Ca: "Oriol, hem de trobar la font d'aquest soroll!En: "Oriol, we must find the source of this noise!"Ca: ", va dir amb decisió.En: she said decisively.Ca: Oriol, tot i dubtar-ho, va acceptar.En: Oriol, although doubtful, agreed.Ca: Junts, van sortir al carrer, envoltats de la foscor de la nit i l'ombra dels arbres tremolant amb el vent suau.En: Together, they ventured out onto the street, surrounded by the darkness of the night and the shadow of trees trembling with the gentle wind.Ca: Van caminar pel gran bosc que envoltava la comunitat.En: They walked through the large forest surrounding the community.Ca: Escoltaven atentament cada soroll.En: They listened intently to every sound.Ca: Però a cada cantonada, trobaven un camí sense sortida.En: But at every turn, they found a dead-end path.Ca: Oriol va començar a perdre l'esperança.En: Oriol began to lose hope.Ca: "Potser és millor que tornem", va suggerir, pensant en les conseqüències desconegudes.En: "Maybe it's best if we go back," he suggested, thinking of the unknown consequences.Ca: Però Laia no estava disposada a rendir-se.En: But Laia was not willing to give up.Ca: "Encara no, Oriol!En: "Not yet, Oriol!Ca: Ja som tan a prop!En: We're so close!"Ca: ", va insistir amb entusiasme.En: she insisted enthusiastically.Ca: Continuaren endavant, endinsant-se més al bosc.En: They continued onwards, delving deeper into the forest.Ca: De sobte, el soroll es va fer més fort i més clar.En: Suddenly, the noise became louder and clearer.Ca: Els va portar fins a una antiga cabana metàl·lica amagada entre els arbres.En: It led them to an old metallic cabin hidden among the trees.Ca: Amb precaució, van obrir la porta.En: With caution, they opened the door.Ca: Dins, només hi havia un petit generador elèctric, tan vell que el seu funcionament era irregular.En: Inside, there was only a small electric generator, so old that its operation was irregular.Ca: Oriol i Laia es van mirar, sorpresos per la simplicitat d'allò que pensaven que era sobrenatural.En: Oriol and Laia looked at each other, surprised by the simplicity of what they thought was supernatural.Ca: Amb el misteri solucionat, van informar als altres veïns.En: With the mystery solved, they informed the other neighbors.Ca: L'endemà, la comunitat va substituir el generador per un de nou.En: The next day, the community replaced the generator with a new one.Ca: Oriol va sentir una tranquil·litat nova al seu cor.En: Oriol felt a new tranquility in his heart.Ca: Havia superat la seva por del desconegut.En: He had overcome his fear of the unknown.Ca: Laia, per la seva banda, somreia amb satisfacció.En: Laia, for her part, smiled with satisfaction.Ca: L'aventura l'havia ajudat a connectar-se amb la comunitat.En: The adventure had helped her connect with the community.Ca: Mentre tornaven cap a casa, Oriol la va mirar i va dir: "Gràcies, Laia.En: As they returned home, Oriol looked at her and said, "Thank you, Laia.Ca: He après que no tot el que és desconegut és temut.En: I've learned that not everything unknown is to be feared."Ca: "I així, la pau va tornar al barri de Sant Cugat, amb Oriol i Laia ara més que simples veïns, lligats per l'aventura que els va unir.En: And so, peace returned to the neighborhood of Sant Cugat, with Oriol and Laia now more than just neighbors, bonded by the adventure that brought them together.

This week the Hosts plunge into the spectral cesspool of digital damnation, as we boot up the blood-streaked cartridge and take a long, hard stare into the maw of Lavender Town Syndrome—a supposed phenomenon that emerged from the haunted silicon heart of 1990s Japan, leaving behind a trail of shrieking children, shattered minds, and data that no sane person would code. With a soundtrack engineered like a neural drill and tones pitched to summon something ungodly from the shadowy trench of our subconscious, this episode explores the sinister myth of a cursed Pokémon game. Was it mass hysteria, urban legend, or a digital sigil encoded with something far older than Pikachu? Join us as we chase spectral signals through the static haze, peeling back layers of corrupted code and weaponized nostalgia in search of answers. But be warned—there are some places the mind should never go. And this one comes with an 8-bit soundtrack tuned for madness. No gods. No masters.

On this week's Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with returning expert Dr. Michelle Martinez (Gremlins!) about the 90's classic I Know What You Did Last Summer and the various tropes and devices used throughout the film. We knew about Urban Legends, but do you know what a “Yuppie Horror” or a “Final Girl” is? You will after this one. Afterward, Patreon Subscribers can hear the post-interview breakdown with Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early and see who, or what, is going to The Alarmist Jail.
