It started as a story whispered at campfires and on playgrounds. But on Staten Island, the name Cropsey became something far more terrifying—a legend that seemed to step out of the shadows and into reality.
In the first half of this two-part episode of The Devil Within, we trace the origins of the Cropsey myth, from abandoned asylums to forgotten tunnels. We explore how fear took root in a community, and how a monster of folklore became linked to real-life tragedy.
