For decades, Staten Islanders whispered the legend of Cropsey, a shadowy figure lurking in the woods, preying on the innocent. In some stories he had a bloody hook for a hand, in others he wielded a terrifying axe. Your typical urban legend. But, when children started disappearing, the urban myth became horrifyingly real. In this episode, we uncover the truth behind Cropsey, the abandoned ruins of Willowbrook State School, and the man at the center of it all: Andre Rand. Was he a lone predator, or part of something even more sinister? With disturbing disappearances, eerie urban legends, and whispers of a cult connection, we explore the terrifying reality that still haunts Staten Island and the lingering mysteries that may never be solved.
