Campfire Adventures

There are unexplainable things that happen in this world on a daily basis. One day while a team of researchers were out in the Antarctic studying whales they saw something that would spark interest around the world. It was a creature that had never been seen before, but was dubbed the Ningen. It is believed to be human-like, but mixed with features of a beluga whale. So get ready for a good one that's filled with tons of laughs (sorry in advance), but I hope you smile. Enjoy!

I feel like one of the things I search for while researching topics for an episode is whether something is the first of its kind or the most well known. So when the idea came up for this episode it only seemed fitting to find the most well known. Now this particular story dates all the way back to the 1600’s and it involves the dark arts and a culture connected to it more than they realize. This is the very true story of Catherine Monvoisin aka La Voisin! Take a break, grab a drink, and enjoy this week's episode.  

Welcome to a new week and a new episode Campers! Shout out to all of you out there who have been throwin it down and listening to so many episodes. For this week I have a story to share that I have wanted to cover for so long. Have you ever heard of the Men in Black? No I’m not talking about the movie, but rather the people who show up after an alien sighting happens. Oh yeah, the Men in Black are a real thing and they are locked and loaded and ready to show up whenever a UFO is spotted. I’m not sure what I can say to help hype up this story, but what I will say is grab your foil hat and let's get into this week's story. Enjoy!

In Louisville, Kentucky there is a legend that has haunted the land for generations. It’s said that a goat-like man known as the Pope Lick Monster calls a train trestle bridge in the area home. Now unlike other cryptids there has yet to be proof found to corroborate its existence, but the stories are believed without question because how else can you explain why multiple people would find themselves on top of this railway putting their lives in danger. Actually it's believed to use powerful abilities to entrance people, but how much of this story should we believe? Take a listen to this week's story and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Good news everyone … there is another new episode of Campfire Adventures! In this week's episode we explore the vampiric cryptid that has been haunting the Philippines for generations. It has been dubbed the Manananggal and it has a taste for human flesh and blood. In this episode we cover its appearance, what it wants and who it's after. With all that said it's time to grab a drink, relax, and enjoy the newest episode of our podcast.

Happy week after our 2nd birthday celebration! We have reached episode 109 and I have a new story, a new guest, and a super cool story. This week's episode takes us to Japan where we are introduced to folklore about the Shikigami. These accomplice’s are conjured up by a powerful practitioner of magic. They may come in various forms, but what you really want to avoid is being brought back to its master. Take a listen to this week's episode and learn all about this folklore and the adventures of our cohost’s trip to Japan. Enjoy!

Guess what …. This week we are celebrating Campfire Adventures Podcast’s 2nd Birthday! Can you believe it, we made it to two years of podcasting and we are going strong? Well because our birthday falls on St. Patrick’s Day we have set up the festivities all around Irish themed fun and shenanigans. We went to a St. Patrick’s Day festival, we have plans for a special dinner and we might even take a trip to Vegas! But nothing would be better than celebrating this week with a story about another Irish cryptid. Since our first episode was of a Vampire and so was the second birthday episode then the only appropriate thing to do would be to keep the tradition alive. So this week I would like to tell you the heartbreaking story of how a beautiful maiden lost love and her life and eventually turned into a Vampire. So get your drinks ready and enjoy listening to the story of the Dearg Due! 

In the forest of the Congo there lives a cryptid that has haunted the land since the 1800’s. To the locals it is known as the J’ba FoFi which translates to Giant Spider. For me it sounds like my answer to fighting off the Mongolian Death Worm lol. In this episode I will let you know how this cryptid hunts, who it's after and if you can save yourself. Take a listen to this episode and let me know what you think.

It's been a while since we’ve talked about aliens and because I’ve been watching Xfiles so much then why don’t we give it a go! So, this week I'd like to reintroduce you to an event that happened in Phoenix, Arizona back in 1997. One night in March during a seemingly quiet evening, there were a string of lights that brightened the night sky in the shape of a V. Eventually disappearing and reappearing a few hours in Phoenix in the shape of an arch. Many people were witness to this historic event and still to this day don’t have an explanation as to how these lights got here. Take a listen to this week's story about the Phoenix Lights and tell me what you think, Enjoy! 

Off the coast of East Africa there is an Island called Zanzibar. Since the 1960’s there have been reports of a cryptid that has been attacking people in the night. It is said to have wings of a bat, the body of a man and the desire to attack anyone who doesn’t believe in it. If there’s a way to stop it, I'm still on the search to find it, but I do have some potential solutions. So grab a drink, relax a little and enjoy a new episode of Campfire Adventures.
