Campfire Adventures

Happy week of Valentine's Day Campers! I hope you're ready for a new episode because we have a good one for this holiday. In Brazil lives a creature known as the Pink River Dolphin, have you ever heard of it? They call the Amazon River home, but from time to time they want to come up on shore and spend a night with the humans. You might be wondering, how the heck are they going to make that happen? Well Campers as you already know things aren't always as they seem and these Dolphins might actually be cryptids!! So take a break, relax, and enjoy this week's episode. 

Welcome back to another remix episode, this week we have Lory filling in as our guest host! She planned a fun and interesting story for us and as it turns out it's based in New Orleans. Make no mistake there is a reason this city has been featured 3 times on this podcast. The Paranormal and Crytids just can't seem to get enough from this supernatural hotbed and neither can we. In this episode Lory tells us all about one of the most haunted places in New Orleans, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. After this story you might be ready to throw on your ghostbuster uniform and go hunting for spirits with us so give it a listen and  enjoy!

Time to wrap up our time here in North Carolina and what better way to do that then with a story. This week I’d like to tell you about a vampiric cryptid that has been haunting the lands since the 1500’s. There have been stories told about a predator that hunts at night in search of human victims. No amount of security could prevent this cryptid from getting into your house and trying to steal your soul and not only that, it'll even take your skin as a prize if given the chance. For this week's episode I’d like to introduce you all to the Boo Hag. Enjoy!

If you followed along the podcast then you might have heard we went on a road trip. While we were on said trip, I got to meet up with some friends and family and tell stories about cryptids that lived across America. Well it's time for our first part 2 episode of the road trip because we came back to North Carolina to visit some fan favorite live audience members the Banks’. Now the last time we came to this state we covered the story of The Beast of Bladenboro. So this time I'd like to share the story of a Cherokee legend known as the U'lag‘û. Years and years ago there was a creature that hunted through the forest looking to swoop up children. The Cherokee tribe had to come up with a way to fight a beast that was the size of most houses and that could fly at lightning speed. Take a listen to this week's episode and find out what ended up happening. Enjoy!

Welcome to our 100th episode, let’s play a game shall we! Ok maybe not for real but a game is the inspiration for this special episode. For Christmas I was given a game called Horrified: American Monsters and it’s about saving a town from cryptids such as: Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, Mothman, Jersey Devil, the Ozark Howler, and one more cryptids that we actually haven’t told a story about. So for this episode I’d like to introduce you all to the Banshee of the Badlands! SHe roams the ground of the South Dakota National Park and waits for unsuspecting travelers to come her way. Be warned she is never truly alone and she isn’t interested in hearing stories of your travels. Take a listen to this week's episode to learn more about this Banshee but also to help us celebrate a major milestone for our podcast! Cheers to the 100th episode!

Our world is full of cryptids, legends, and myths. I’m not sure if we are going to be able to cover all of them, but I am happy to say that we are finally able to share the tale of Mummies and the Curse that comes along with them. Now I know that Mummies are real, but I’d like to take some time and share the story of the most famous mummy known to man and that is the one of King Tut. In 1922 the tomb of King Tut was opened and according to legend the Curse of the Mummy was unleashed and about half the research crew involved in examining the tomb died. So is it a curse, is it a coincidence or are they just headlines for newspapers? Take a listen to this week's episode and find out. Enjoy!

We’ve made it to the New Year and I already have some new adventures planned for us. To kick off the year I am finally going to tell a story I’ve been saving since the road trip. So, there is a mountain range in California that is home to a group of shadows that wait for unsuspecting hikers to cross their path. The mountains are known as the Santa Lucia and the shadows are called The Dark Watchers. For over 300 years these creatures have been known to stalk the mountain tops and legend has it that they are the cause for the disappearance of multiple people. Enjoy the story and Happy New Year!

Now that we have finished the Christmas season we have one more holiday we can celebrate and that is New Years!! So to celebrate we decided to honor the New Years with a themed episode. In this week's episode we are going to explore the international New Years celebration of Chinese New Years. Do you all know much about the history of this holiday? Well to start it was all created because of a cryptid! Yes, you read that right a cryptid started a whole holiday. So take some time to relax, listen to this week's episode and let's ring in the New Year together!

We are less than a week away from Christmas which means we have time for one more story about a Christmas cryptid! For this week's episode I want to share a story about a cryptid that has a lineage linked all over the world. It is known around the world and on our podcast as a legend and I just found out that it expanded its territory into the holidays. So without further adieu I’d like to introduce you all to the Christmas Bigfoot. Known in Serbia and Turkey as Karakoncolos and in Bulgaria as Karakondjul. He only comes out during the coldest days of the year in search of causing mischief and terror among the people who are unlucky enough to come into contact with him.

We are about 2 weeks away from Christmas and I have to say….I’m not ready! I hope I’m not the only one, but don't worry because I still have time to share a new story for you all. This week's holiday themed story has a bit of a twist. In Wales there is a cryptid that is resurrected every December in search of new victims. Only this cryptid isn’t hunting people to hurt them, but rather to spread holiday cheer and remind them about the idea of giving. Take a listen to this week's episode and learn more about the legend known as Mari Lwyd.
