Summer nights hold a different kind of chill in the air, and I’m so glad that several of these stories are just the perfect sort to tell around a campfire. From strange encounters by the roadside to cabins in the woods to haunted cemetery grounds, we’ve pulled together some classic summer camp ghost stories for you that are guaranteed to send a chill down your spine in this warm weather.

As we turn the corner into spring, it feels like winter chill is still trying to keep its icy grip on everything. While that might not sound appealing, I think it’s got legs – or hands, to be more specific. If we’re feeling the chill for a little bit longer in certain parts of the world, why not use those chills to our advantage, and take up with a few spooky stories? Okay, ready to get spooked?

The Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie, is one of the world’s most elusive and intriguing creatures. The first written account of the monster dates back to 564 A.D., and sightings have continued to be reported throughout the centuries, with the most famous being the 1934 “surgeon’s photograph.” Despite numerous investigations, the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness Monster persists, with conflicting theories about its identity and existence. In this episode, we delve into the history and lore of the Loch Ness Monster, exploring the various accounts and scientific theories surrounding this elusive creature.

Typically when unexplained phenomena occur to us, our first thought is to be afraid, whether due to sensational films or a natural survival reaction. We have a choice to make to either continue existing with the paranormal or do something about it. Today’s episode contains stories about tellers who question if the entity is good or evil and what should be done with it. Okay, ready to get spooked?

For centuries humans have been telling stories to teach or find like-minded companions. We tell ghost stories to spook each other and to find hope that we are not alone in what we experience. That we’re not losing our minds. Today’s episode is brimming with tales of people lucky enough to have witnessed unfortunate people who wished they weren’t alone.

With winter still dragging on, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the darkness, the cold, and the sad, listless feeling of being pulled along through the year. Everything seems on edge; the trees are creaking with bare branches, and the ice echoes when it snaps in the night. 

A perfect setup for ghost stories, right?

While I won’t argue with you, I do think that some of the stories we’ve gathered here today have a little more of a spark to them, particularly if you stick around right to the end. After all, even if things keep going bump in the night…that little jolt of fear in your chest is a reminder that you’re here, and you’re alive. Right?

I think it’s reassuring, in a way.

But without further ado … are you ready to get spooked?
