In 2010, a college student stumbled across an ancient Chinese yard sale and was given a copy of the Nintendo 64 game: The Legend of Zelda- Majora's Mask. But what dark secrets did this cartridge hold? Who was the mysterious Ben? Who was father? What the hell is the Eternity Project? Tune in and listen to our very own Rubin spin the tale of this Creepypasta that is still being added to even to this day.

Here's an episode from the vaults. recorded in the early days and pushed around by other episodes, this week's campfire takes us to the mysterious land of Africa where it's not just animals you have to fear.  Because in Africa, even the lakes can kill you. First we look at Lake Natron, a lake so caustic that it can turn living things into stone. Then, we look at Lake Nyos, a lake that in the 1980's killed over 1700 people and animals in just one night. Today we prove that it's not just ghosts and serial killers you have to worry about, because even Mother Nature wants you dead.

It's time we tackle one of the big ones, the queen of Urban Legends herself.  A story so powerful they did it twice. (Well, that and the fact that the original recording disappeared.)  But no matter.  This week, we explore the real life stories and explanations for one of the most endearing and terrifying urban legends.  In this week's episode, we examine the legend of Bloody Mary.  Can Don hold Josh and Rubin's attention long enough to keep the episode from spiraling into chaos?  No, the answer is no.  (Editor's note- I am aware that the closing credit music comes in early, can't fix it, leave me alone).

Today we talk about Cursed music.  No, not Baby Shark,  We're talking about a song supposedly written to honor Satan himself and a song so sad, that anyone who listens to it kills themselves.  Today we discuss the Hungarian Suicide Song, "Gloomy Sunday" and talk about the supposed ties to Anton LeVay and the Church of Satan in the song "Hotel California"

Today, we visit the tallest building in town to explore the legend of The Elevator Game, then we briefly (or not so briefly) discuss the history of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, one of the most infamous hotels in L.A.  Finally, we discuss the tragic story of Elisa Lam who disappeared in Feb of 2013 only to be discovered just a few days later dead on the Cecil's roof.  The only clue as to what happened being a mysterious video of Lam from an elevator security camera taken just minutes before she vanished.

Last week's episode was so rough, we're sharing the most recently recorded episode to lighten the mood.  This week we discuss the hilarious tale that fascinated the city of London in the early 70's,  The legend of the Highgate Vampire and the subsequent conflict of two warring vampire slayers that still exists to this day.  We also discuss the legend of Stull Cemetery in Stull, Kansas, one of seven supposed portals to hell.  It's just laughs this week, guys.  It's the least we could do after last week.

Fall is finally upon us, and the carnival's in town.  The Midway has a wonderful new skill game: "Punch a Nazi".  Slow down everyone, you will all get your chance.  Today we read the Russian Sleep Experiment and then learn about real life atrocities committed by the worst of the worst: Joseph Mengele.  It's not a pretty one today and we want to give you a very bold TRIGGER WARNING!!! for what you are about to hear.

In this episode of Campfire Tales, Don tells the tales of two very famous haunted dolls: Key West Legend, Robert the Doll and the cinematic juggernaut that is Annabelle.  Can Rubin be convinced that dolls can be haunted.  You've heard the show, what do you think
