HUGGY WUGGY becomes the new Satanic Panic
THE NEWET SATANIC PANIC.
Every few years we have a new modern meme to make parents cringe and kids want more..
This time it’s Huggy Wuggy..
It is the newest incarnation of fear.. the newest violent character that will cause harm to your child.. (Of course we say this carefully as some kids are a little too willing to be freaked and believe what they see on YouTube… Parental guidance folks!! be involved!!)
Only days ago, Dorset.live published the following headline about “very distressing” videos that were said to have been circulating on TikTok, YouTube, and YouTube Kids: “Dorset Police warning about Huggy Wuggy bear that is singing songs about killing.”
It referred to Huggy Wuggy, a furry, blue, tall, and sharp-toothed character in a 2021 survival horror video game titled, “Poppy Playtime.”
It was developed by MOB Games and is rated “12+” on iOS and “Teen” on Android, meaning that it was deemed to be suitable for teenagers.
And now police and officials are warning parents about the dangers of HUGGY WUGGY.. The article showcases at least one mom who banned the Wugs from her household:
Beth Buxton, 31, told Sky News her two daughters, who are 10 and 12, both played Roblox and watched the videos online with her three-year-old son.
She thought it was similar to Minecraft – but her son became obsessed with Huggy Wuggy.
She said: “He got to the stage where he didn’t know the difference between reality and gaming. He tried to climb up my bedroom window, saying he would die and come back to life telling me that’s what Huggy Wuggy does.
“We have banned Roblox and put locks on YouTube. I have window locks being installed next week because he is still thinking about it. There are numerous terrifying characters in these games.
Tonight on a personal Facebook profile, a number of friends who happen be parents are getting caught up in the Huggy Wuggy pandemonium!
This is being showcased on a number of pages:
Parents and Grandparents please be aware of your children and what they’re watching on Youtube! We cannot just give them a device unattended! I mentioned this to my sons (and daughter) about their children about 3-4 months ago, telling them to not allow their children to watch this. His happy upbeat child like nursery rhyme melody/theme song mentions death and equates hugging with death (no lie)! Yes it is YouTubes right to put on their platform whatever they want. It’s not YouTubes job to keep our children safe. That’s our job. Hence the reason I’m writing this!
A new cautionary tale.. a new fear for kids..
SAME AS IT EVER WAS..
And after all, let’s be honest.. MOMO was a lot freakier than Huggy Wuggy, right?

THE PARANORMAL COMPUTER HOUR
What a cool story! From the paranormal world, “1980s computer ‘ghost’ accuses couple of stealing his home then leaves for 2109″
This is what happened…
Back in 1985, Ken Webster was given a BBC microcomputer. Soon after, he and his girlfriend Debbie received a series of communications, known as the Dodleston messages.
According to a blog written by Allison Troutner on howstuffworks.com, it all started with a mysterious set of footprints after Ken and Debbie moved into a dilapidated 18th-century cottage in Cheshire.
During renovations, the couple noticed strange, six-toed footprints in the dust, which seemed to walk up the walls between the bathroom and kitchen.
The pair initially dismissed what they had seen as nothing more than a prank, and painted over the footprints – but they were back a day later.. Over the next few weeks, the couple experienced a series of incidents that made them feel as though they were not quite alone. Tins of cat food had been neatly stacked in a pyramid and an eerie presence was felt in the cottage.
Ken was a teacher at a local school, so he brought home a BBC microcomputer. Soon after it was set up, a message appeared, that seemed like an ominous poem.
More messages soon followed, with the writer asking Ken and Debbie who they are before accusing them of stealing his house.
Days later, a second equally strange message came through, appearing to be written in some archaic version of English.
It said: “I write on behalf of many – What strange words you speak – You are a worthy (good) man who has a fanciful woman, and you live in my house (who dwell in my home) – with lights which (the) devil makes – It was a great crime to have stolen (bribed) my house. – L.W.”
Over the next year and a half, more messages continued to appear. So, Ken asked questions back to try and find out the identity of the writer.
The mysterious writer initially gave the name as Lukas, but confessed his name was Thomas Harden or Hawarden. Thomas said he had been in communication with ‘a friend from 2109’.

“RECESSION SHOCK” COMING.. coining the term now: The #GreaterRecession
The macro-economic picture is deteriorating fast and could push the U.S. economy into recession as the Federal Reserve tightens its monetary policy to tame surging inflation, BofA strategists warned in a weekly research note.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday signaled it will likely start culling assets from its $9 trillion balance sheet at its meeting in early May and will do so at nearly twice the pace it did in its previous “quantitative tightening” exercise as it confronts inflation running at a four-decade high.
