Everyone has a television show from their childhood that they remember fondly. Like those who nostalgically recall the adventures of Dora the Explorer, Mister Rogers and Sesame Street, some adults rediscover their favorite show from the 1970s, Candle Cove, on a television forum in this creepypasta. Slowly, their memories of the show grow darker and more disturbing until one of the adults asks his mother about the true nature of the show.

The forum format of the story adds a spooky realism to the tale, also making it easy to recreate and share on other boards. If you find this story particularly compelling, there is a story that runs further with the mythos called Candle Cove Experiences: Tales of the Laughingstock.
