A second-hand Zelda cartridge. A cryptic forum thread. A generation of frightened children. This is the story of Ben Drowned – the internet's most infamous video game ghost.

Must be a slow day in the news if the BBC is just now covering Ben Drowned...

Edit: link to the creepypasta page for the unfamiliar

I also recommend the Godzilla creepypasta for anyone who's never read it. The ending gets a little too cheesy, but it's definitely a classic.
