When you take a trip to the mountains what do you expect to see? Maybe some trees, a squirrel or two and if you're lucky even some elk! But if you find yourself exploring the Rocky Mountains of Colorado be cautious because there is a cryptid that lives on the mountain tops just waiting for an unsuspecting victim to pass by. Legend says there is a gigantic whale-like creature with a mouth of an anglerfish perching itself on the  mountainsides of the Rockies. When an explorer passes by this cryptid known as the Slide-Rock Bolter, death is almost immediate. It releases its grip on the mountain and within seconds you are swallowed.

Alone these witches might not be intimidating, but what if I told you they have their own society? What if I told you they have been around for over 1000 years? And what if I told you that in addition to their dark magic they are also able to shapeshift into any creature or person they want? Do you know what this week's episode is about?

We recorded a special episode to celebrate Campfire Adventures first birthday. It was the first time since our road trip that we sat around the original firepit and shared a story with the friends and family that have supported our podcast. For me the perfect story for this night had to be connected to Ireland because our bday is on St Patrick's Day and also have a connection to our first episode about a Vampire. Well if you were wondering if we were able to pull it off, then the answer is yes, with the legend of Abhartach. Abhartach was a tyrant of a leader who possessed magical abilities. He terrified his clan during his entire life, but it was after he died and raised himself from the grave that things seemed to take a turn for the worst. So will the clan's people survive? Will Abhartach torment his former clan forever? Or will someone come to save the day? Help us celebrate Campfire Adventures birthday and find out all the answers to these questions by listening to this new episode. Enjoy and thanks for listening!
