Beyond The Campfire

High above the jungles in Vietnam, a plane could have been spotted flying overhead. What was this plane doing? Dropping minerals into the sky. Why? In hopes of causing it to rain, helping the US achieve victory in the Vietnam War.

It is well documented that the US was doing cloud seeding, known then as Operation Popeye. This was done to of course help us win the Vietnam War. However, did the cloud seeding stop there? Many conspiracy theorists believe that they are still doing it to this day, over the American People. Why? Only God knows why, but Will and Steven believe it can not be good.

In the early years of America, we had one thing on our mind. Expanding our territory further west. However, this came with turmoil, pain, and fighting with the natives. Something that led to the cursing of our nation.

In the year of 1810, such a native force had formed known as the Tecumseh's confederacy, which had hoped to stop the expansion of the white man. Around this time the war of 1812 broke out, which seemed to possibly help the natives. However, during the Battle of the Themes, Tecumseh would be killed. Leading his brother, Tenskwatawa, to anger.

This Anger would lead him to curse the nation of America, and whoever was elected to lead this nation. Every twenty years, the sitting president is said to die in office because of this curse. However, the last one to die in office was JFK. In the 80s, legend has it Nancy Reagan used the power of the worlds beyond to protect her husband. Did this break the curse? Or are we long overdue for the wrath of the curse of Tippecanoe…

Thick, dense forests are typically the setting for many supernatural incidents. Travis Walton’s disappearance was no exception. He and his crew mates were contracted to thin out a part of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Along a forest road Travis got out of the truck and was missing. Search parties created and cancelled, eventually Travis returned disheveled and clearly the result of an experiment. 

Eye-witnesses reported other worldly interventions. Their stories, proven with polygraphs, make the incident unbelievable. Could this have been another unrealistic alien hoax or could this complex story have just the right amount of details to prove life outside our planet.

Paula Jean Weldon was like every other college student in 1946. One day she went on a hike never to be seen again. This disappearance started an entire state’s police force, but what if her disappearance was something police couldn’t even solve.

Steven reveals to Will all the possibilities of what could have happened to young Paula. Maybe it was a hike gone rogue, another notch in someone’s belt, or perhaps something supernatural. However it may be, will it still remain a mystery?

The Queen Mary is a vessel filled with stories, and its ghosts. Located in Long Beach, California, she has sat as a hotel for several years. In previous years, she was a troop ship in WWII earning her the name, The Grey Ghost. After that she was just a normal cruise line, a cruise line for the damned.

From poisonings, to drownings, to government led failures, Will and Steven intend to learn every story. From these stories, they intend to solve the haunting behind them. Is Queen Mary haunted by her tragic past? Or is she just a silent shell of her former self?

Deep in the jungles of Java, Indonesia, is a creature that science has yet to explain. With the body of a bat and the face of a primate, the Ahool has been terrorizing locals for centuries. First discovered by Dr. Ernest Bartel in 1925, this creature has baffled many of the scientific field.

Today, Will and Steven will peel back the layers to this mystery. Crossing eye witness accounts, examining testimonies, as they try to uncover the truth of what this creature might be. Is it something supernatural? A new bat species perhaps? Or maybe it is just another legend…

In the quiet English village of Woolpit during the 12th century, two children reportedly emerged from deep wolf pits near the edge of town — frightened, disoriented, and unlike anyone the villagers had ever seen. Their skin was green. They spoke an unknown language. And according to the accounts that survived through history, they claimed to come from a land where the sun never fully shined.

In this episode of Beyond the Campfire, Will and Steve unravel one of medieval England’s strangest legends: the Green Children of Woolpit. Were the children suffering from illness and starvation, misunderstood foreigners lost in a strange land… or evidence of something far more impossible? From theories of underground civilizations and parallel worlds to folklore surrounding fairy realms, the mystery only deepens the closer you look.

As centuries pass and no definitive answer emerges, the story of the Woolpit children remains suspended between history and myth. Tonight, we follow the trail back to a small village where two children appeared from nowhere — and where some believe they were never entirely human to begin with.

On a quiet September night in 1961, Barney Hill and Betty Hill were driving home through the White Mountains of New Hampshire when they noticed a strange light following them through the sky. What began as a late-night road trip would become one of the most famous and disturbing UFO cases in history. By the time the couple made it home, nearly two hours of their memory had vanished.

In this episode of Beyond the Campfire, Will and Steve retrace the Hills’ terrifying encounter — from the silent craft hovering overhead to the nightmares, hypnosis sessions, and chilling descriptions of beings with black eyes and emotionless faces. Their story would help shape modern alien abduction lore and spark decades of debate between skeptics, psychologists, and believers.

Were Betty and Barney victims of stress, suggestion, and Cold War paranoia… or did they truly encounter something not of this world on that lonely mountain road? Tonight, we examine the case that changed UFO history forever — and ask what really happened during those missing hours in the dark.

Hidden in the Venetian Lagoon, between the beauty of Venice and the silence of the open water, lies an island many refuse to approach. Poveglia Island has been called one of the most haunted places in the world — a place tied to plague pits, mass death, and stories of madness that still cling to its crumbling ruins. For centuries, it served as a quarantine station where the sick were sent… and where many never returned.

In this episode of Beyond the Campfire, Will and Steve step onto the cursed soil of Poveglia to uncover the truth behind its terrifying reputation. From reports that over 100,000 plague victims were burned or buried there, to later tales of a doctor who performed cruel experiments in the island’s asylum bell tower, Poveglia’s history feels less like legend and more like a nightmare layered across generations.

Are the voices heard on the island only wind through broken stone… or something left behind by those who died there in agony? Tonight, we explore a place where beauty ends at the shoreline — and where the dead may still outnumber the living.

Between 1764 and 1767, fear gripped the remote province of Gévaudan in southern France. A savage creature stalked the countryside, attacking villagers, children, and shepherds with a brutality that left entire communities in terror. Witnesses described a beast larger than any wolf, with fiery eyes, reddish fur, and a taste for human blood. By the time the killings stopped, more than one hundred people were believed to have been attacked.

In this episode of Beyond the Campfire, Will and Steve descend into one of history’s most infamous monster cases. Was the Beast simply an unusually large wolf, a pack of trained animals, or something far more sinister? From royal hunting parties sent by Louis XV to whispers of werewolves and demonic creatures, the legend only grew darker with each new victim.

Tonight, we follow the blood trail through the misty hills of France, where panic, folklore, and real death collided — and ask the question that still lingers centuries later: what was really hunting the people of Gévaudan?
