Hoax Slayer (stylized as Hoax-Slayer) was a fact-checking website established in 2003 by Brett Christensen, dedicated to critically analyzing the veracity of urban legends. While it was best known for debunking false stories and internet scams, it also hosted a page listing strange but true stories. Hoax Slayer originated as a Yahoo! group before the website was established. Stories it has debunked include fake videos claiming to depict Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, myths that the 2013 supermoon appeared bigger than it really did, and a "Simon Ashton" hoax claiming that emails from Simon Ashton should not be opened because doing so would lead to your computer being hacked.
