Welcome back campers. Before we dive in, I’d like to thank writer Saturdead for allowing me to once again narrate one of their stories. If you want to read more from Saturdead, follow the link in the show notes.

You’ve heard the phrase, "the show must go on". But what happens when the ground you’re setting the stage on… doesn’t want one.

In tonight’s story, a crew is hired to throw together a last-minute concert in a forgotten Minnesota town—a pop-up event in a field that probably should’ve stayed untouched. From the moment they begin clearing the land, something feels wrong.

Like they’d stepped into someone or something’s bedroom. And whatever it was… woke up.

One by one, the crew starts to unravel. A brutal attack. A man vanishes. And then, the sobbing begins—soft, high-pitched, and close. Too close.

This isn’t just a story about a gig gone wrong. It’s about what happens when you disturb the old places. The quiet places. The places where something inhuman might be sleeping… and worse, might be lonely.

So grab your flashlight, pull your sleeping bag tight, and listen close. Because sometimes, the thing in the dark doesn’t growl. It sobs.
