Campfire Adventures

How many of us love a good urban legend? What about one that actually turns out to be based on a true story? Well, have you ever heard the one about The Green Man? Or maybe you know him as Charlie No Face. If not in this episode we talk about the myth of a cryptid that walks up and down the night roads of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm not sure if a run in with these creatures is ideal, but surprisingly a number of people actually had an encounter with the person who inspired the urban legend. Now with that I'm going to let you enjoy the episode to hear more!

Kicking off a new year of stories I thought it might be a good idea to go down to Mexico and South America. No we didn’t get a chance to take a trip out to these countries, but I did find a story involving them all. Have any of you ever heard of  a creepy crawler known as La Mano Peluda? It translates to The Hairy Hand, and if you haven’t heard of it then no worries because we got you covered. There are a few various origins for this cryptid, but what I can tell you is that it hunts at night for unsuspecting victims. Even using your bathroom at night could prove to be a mistake. Take a listen to this week's episode and hear all about it.

We've heard about haunted houses, haunted chairs, but now about a haunted road. In Missouri there is a road that has been known as the most haunted road in America.

Recently we’ve talked about curses like James Dean’s car Little Bastard. In that episode we broke down the characteristics of a curse and how they come to be. For this week's episode we are going to hear about another curse, only this one is about a series of paintings known as The Crying Boy. This painting's connection to destruction, emotion and the supernatural is both believable and questionable. We dive into the creation of the paintings and the media's coverage that followed the success and fall of the series. Enjoy the episode and let me know what you think.

In the Cherokee community there is a creature that has been born from fear.

This week I think it's about time we delve into the idea of curses. So I got this book and while looking for ideas I stumbled across a story about James Dean and his Porsche Little Bastard.
