5 stories · Original narrated horror audio

Haunted technology horror updates ancient ghost story tropes for the digital age. Cursed game cartridges, haunted phones, messages from dead contacts, AI that knows too much — these stories tap into our deepening dependence on devices we don't fully understand and can't fully control. Ben Drowned and Herobrine gave the genre its defining texts.

About Haunted technology horror

What is haunted technology horror?
Haunted technology horror, sometimes called 'haunted game' or 'cursed cartridge' horror, uses digital devices and software as the medium for supernatural encounters. The premise that a ghost can inhabit a video game, phone, or computer system makes technology feel uncanny — tools we rely on daily becoming vectors for something malevolent.
What are the most famous haunted technology creepypastas?
Ben Drowned (a haunted Majora's Mask cartridge), Herobrine (a ghost in Minecraft), and Lavender Town Syndrome (a deadly frequency hidden in Pokémon music) are the three most iconic. All are detailed in the Night Tales Hall of Fame, alongside original audio stories in the same genre.
