Ouija. A nonsensical word that has caused horror and fear in people for over a century.  In this episode, we discuss the origins of the Ouija board. We discuss the story of how the board was used to avenge the death of the great Sassafras Charlie. Then finish up with the biggest celebrity in the Ouija community: Zozo.

We travel to the mystical Land of the Rising Sun this week to look at two Japanese Urban Legends: Kuchisake onna and Teke Teke. Two legends that exemplify Japan's ability to forge the craziest horror stories around.

SCREAM! as you gaze upon the half mutilated body of Teke Teke.

GASP! in horror at Kuchisake onna's mangled visage.

CRINGE! as Don tries desperately to pronounce Japanese Words.

Its a number of firsts in this episode, our first Cryptid, our first Native American Legend, and our first Canadian legend. In this episode we discuss the ancient legend of the Wendigo and the true story of Swift Runner, A Cree trapper supposedly possessed by the spirit of a Wendigo that went on to kill and eat his entire family.

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.
