In an effort to continue to answer our unanswered questions through Camp Divination, we are returning to one of our favorite cases that takes place in 1994 in Celina, Texas. Following the tragic loss of their beloved son, Travis and Olivia Mabel went their separate ways. Travis moved to Boston in hopes of moving forward, but Olivia went inside. Receding from the world in a four year period of grief-stricken seclusion that would culminate in her bizarre death. However, this is not a simple case of unexplainable circumstances. Olivia was found to be dabbling in esoteric magick ostensibly in hopes of creating a physical manifestation of her lost son. Could she have accomplished this incredible force of will and mental focus? Could Olivia Mabel have created a genuine tulpa; a thought form of her son? Moreover, could that tulpa have shirked her control and ultimately turned on her?

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.
