Campfire Adventures

We're knocking out all these road trip episodes pretty quickly, like we only have 18 more episodes left to release! This one though is a pretty special one for us. We almost recorded this episode early on in our podcast life for my niece, but I'm glad we saved it and was able to do this on our trip. In this episode we dabble in true crime and discuss two different theories of how this legend came to be. So is the Bunnyman an escaped mental patient or is he yet another boogeyman created to scare children on Halloween night? Listen to the newest episode of Campfire Adventures and find out! Enjoy!

To one of our favorite artists here is your credit. Thank you for the best post cards out there!

I wanted to surprise you all with a bonus episode this holiday season. I know we are still working through all our road trip episodes, but it's the holidays so I figured an extra episode wouldn't hurt anyone. Also did you know that even the holidays can't escape being associated with cryptids? Well there is a day that many know as St Nicholas Day, it usually falls on December 6th and it's a day where Saint Nicholas would go around and reward good children with treats. But what about the children who were naughty? Do they get any gifts? Well it's believed that Saint Nicholas had a companion known as Krampus and he is the one who would deal with all the naughty children. You may have heard of Krampus from movies, books and maybe local legends, but now it's time to hear about him from Campfire Adventures. Take a minute and listen to this short, but sweet bonus holiday episode. Happy Holidays from Campfire Adventures!

This week's cryptid is pretty unique, either we are recording an episode on another type of boogeyman or we are learning about a creature who was created in a lab and broke out into the forests of Maryland. For year the locals have heard legend of a half man and half goat creature who has been terrorizing Maryland's people and their pets. Known as the Goatman, he is said to hunt for human flesh while wielding an axe. Both people and pets have gone missing with no explanation, investigators believe a number of these victims have been butchered with an axe and some are even missing flesh. Take a listen to this episode I recorded with my niece and let me know what you think. P.S. there's a lot of laughing lol.

We've reached an episode I've been waiting to do since we started this podcast. I know we cover stories of cryptids that scare and terrorize towns and even haunted chairs that are looking for souls, but what about a cryptid that's just trying to warn people who might be in danger? This weeks episode is about the one and only Mothman of West Virginia. He was only seen for a handful of times through the 1960's and more recently in 2016. But what could a creature that's described as a bigfoot sized moth want from a small town in West Virginia? Some say he was trying to warn the people of a bridge that was going to collapse and others say the Mothman was never really there. Whether this cryptid is real or not the people of Point Pleasant, WV created a museum and even started a festival to celebrate the sightings of the Mothman and also maybe in hopes to understand this cryptid a little more. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

Alright I think this might be a first for our podcast. We've talked about the classic monsters and cryptids, but this time we are talking about a phantom light! On a dark night off the coast of Delaware it's said that you can see a light helping guide people to the shore. However, if for some reason you follow this beacon of hope you might be in for rocky landing! Take a listen to this week's episode and see how a curse was put on the coast of Delaware and for the past few centuries it's been believed to wreak havoc to locals and ships alike. It's a short, but sweet episode and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it!

Who wants to talk about witches again? I think I heard a few "I Do's" out there so get ready because this next stop on the road trip is the perfect place to pick up the topic of witches. Welcome everyone to the one and only Salem, Massachusetts and this stop wouldn't be complete if we didn't talk about The Salem Witch Trials. I feel like this is an event we've all heard about whether it was from school or even movies like Hocus Pocus! I remember hearing that Witches were hung for their magical escapades and that the people who accused them were justified. However, now that I look into the history more, I think we might have been wrong. That what we actually did was sentence innocent people to their death all because....well I guess because we wanted too?! I'm not sure if that's how I should say that, but why don't you take a listen and decide for yourself! Learn about what Sarah Osborne, Sarah Good and Tituba went through while being accused of being the first three witches in The Salem Witch Trials!

Join me and my live audience for our newest episode of Campfire Adventures! That's right I wrote live audience because we once again made some friends and they were more than happy to join us for this recording in Maine. Today's story is of a Specter Moose who has been known to the people of Maine since the 1800's. There have been stories of people trying to hunt it, of people who were scared out of their mind by just running into this specter and even tales of this moose rescuing people who were sure to face certain death. This might not be the scariest story we've ever shared, but for someone like me who just wanted to see a moose on this road trip this episode made that goal an almost reality, plus we made some new friends. So if you have some time and like to hear this tale, push play and enjoy!

Has anyone out there felt like things just weren't going there way? Almost like there were forces beyond your control stopping you from living your best life? Well if you said "yes" then you wouldn't be alone. I'd like to tell you all the story of the first and only woman to be accused of being a witch in New Hampshire, Eunice "Goody" Cole. Honestly from what I read it seemed as is Eunice was always given the short end of the stick in her life and as it would turn out even giving the situation time wouldn't stop the unbelievable from happening. In this weeks episode you will hear how Eunice endured years of torment and what she went through in her struggle to survive. Was justice served? Was she a witch? Does it matter? Listen to this weeks episode and find out for yourself. Enjoy!

Anddddd were back with another new episode of Campfire Adventures! Have any of you ever been to Vermont? Well as you know before we embarked on this road trip I had never been to the East Coast of America before. So when I thought of Vermont I thought of beautiful trees and maple syrup, but little did I know there was also a cryptid that would call this state home. In the forest of Northfield Vermont there resides a creature with the body of man and the head of a pig! Some say the birth of this crytid followed the disappearance of a teen named Sam Harris on the Eve of Halloween night in 1951! Others say it's just a spirit or myth made up by local people. But, if you search the forest and caves of the local area, you may come across the bones of The Pigman's latest victim. Tune in now and enjoy this short, but sweet episode.
