Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling

In this, we have for you a very important community project. Strange Semantics is an in-depth look at the language that we use to describe this incredible field that we find ourselves in. Terms like paranormal, supernatural, otherworldly, supranatural, supernormal, paraweird, and Fortean are examined through the input of 30 of the most fascinating people in the Fortean community. Podcasters, authors, philosophers, and artists from all over the world provide invaluable insight on a criminally overlooked aspect of Fortean studies. So, sit back and enjoy a trip across the spectrum of paranormal research! 

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.

This week, we’re focusing solely on the universally agreed upon encounter with the Mothman. On November 15, 1966, quite possibly one of the most important encounters with anomalous phenomena took place when two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette, told police they saw a large grey creature whose eyes "glowed red" when the car's headlights picked it up. This encounter would set the tone for a year of terrifying encounters and light a wildfire of controversy all over the country. This is the encounter that drew John Keel to Point Pleasant and made the Mothman a household name. 

MARY HYER MADE A DECISION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD!

This week we have a seminal piece from one of the most important authors of the 19th century. Edgar Allen Poe initiated the modern detective story. He was the first to truly develop the gothic horror story. He was, quite possibly, the most significant early forerunner of the science fiction form. There is a reason that the vast majority of you, regardless of your general interest in classic literature, know the man. His contributions to humanity at large thrust him from the depths of literary obscurity where so many brilliant minds languished forever; into the shining lights of pop culture and general world history. Today we are going to experience how he accomplished that tricky tricky deed: drama and fear. His stories had a way of striking at the heart of humanity’s shadow. This story is one of the most significant examples.

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States, and of American literature.

First up, we have a tale of entrepreneurship gone wrong when a group of ambitious teens start a haunted house in what turns out to be a….HAUNTED HOUSE! They’re getting much much more than they bargained for. 

Our second story is a terrifying exercise is unrequited love. What happens when a very lonely man discovers a resource beyond imagination? Nothing good.

In early November of 1966, amid a flurry of UFO activity, a sewing machine salesman from West Virginia named Woodrow Derenberger was returning from a business trip to Marietta, Ohio, when he encountered one of the most bizarre and fascinating characters in Fortean history. Indrid Cold would not only come to be what Woody was known for. He would become a fixture in the life of the Derenberger family. Was he truly from another world? Was he one of the infamous Men in Black? Was this an imaginal creation? One thing we do know?

HE WAS A NICE GUY!

Tonight’s first tale chronicles the experiences of a young couple on a retreat in the frozen wilderness. Exploring the range of perception in instances of high strangeness, this story is a true testament to what it’s like when everything goes wrong. 

Our second story is a terrifying look at what just may be going on in our cities after the proverbial lights go out. Is there a bizarre underbelly operating just under our noses? Is high strangeness really that close to us each day? And are there a select few among us with undiscussed access to unimaginable phenomenon and the evidence of its existence?

These stories are works of fiction. Any names or characters, businesses or places, events or incidents, are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

This week, we’re beginning our long-awaited series that on one of the most incredible time periods in American history. Many fans of Forteana are familiar with the Mothman, but precious few are aware of how truly mind blowing the flood of Fortean phenomena that surrounded those events in Point Pleasant, West Virginia were. This, our opening salvo on the Mothman mythology, attempts to lay that groundwork. Setting the scene for the Mothman’s arrival with a bewildering series of UFO sightings and alien encounters. So, strap in and prepare yourself. 

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

In this week’s installment of Campfire Classics Collection, we’ll be snuggling up to the fire with A Ghost Story by acclaimed American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer, Mark Twain. This tale is particularly fascinating because, not only is it good for a scare, it is a damming commentary on the hoax of the Cardiff Giant. For those of you that find yourself unfamiliar with that topic, rest assured. It will be covered at great length in a future episode. For now, make yourself a hot cup of tea, find your favorite blanket, and settle in for an eerie and elegant tale written by a true master.

This week’s first tale explores the nature of precognition, death, and the power of interpersonal relationships to transcend its boundaries. Someone Has Died chronicles a night in the life of a woman plagued by an unshakable feeling; the unwavering stone in her stomach that warns of impending doom. 

Our second story tells the tale of a promising young phD student that finds himself wrapped up in machinations beyond even his considerable comprehension. A mysterious professor’s choice to include him in an even more mysterious experiment could lead to enlightenment or damnation. 

These stories are works of fiction. Any names or characters, businesses or places, events or incidents, are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. 

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.
