Episode 120 - The Woman in White Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

In our third installment of our Urban Legends series, we have a truly fascinating study in the process of myth-making in the Americas. The Woman in White has been seen by countless individuals over centuries. In dark hallways, abandoned homes, balconies, riversides, and above all roadsides. The ubiquity of this entity, born of unadulterated tragedy, has created one of the most enduring urban legends in western society. Join us as we take a deep dive into the terrifying world of the Woman in White.

Campfire Classics Collection Volume 10: The Body Snatcher Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

For this week’s addition to the Campfire Classics Collection, we have one of the most famed contributors to English Literature dipping his toes into the horror genre to great success. Robert Louis Stevenson, most famous for his 1883 novel, Treasure Island, published this short story the following year in The Pall Mall Gazette. Its characters were based on criminals in the employ of real-life surgeon Robert Knox around the time of the notorious Burke and Hare murders. This is a beautifully written and truly terrifying tale based on some of the most depraved acts ever committed, and a rare look into the bizarre world of the early stages of development of modern medicine.

This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive content:

Grave Digging

Robert Louis Stevenson’s best-known works include the the classics Treasure Island, A Child's Garden of Verses, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Friday Night Fright 17 Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

Now, deep into Spooky Season, we are continuing our experiment with ChatGPT’s ability to compose short horror stories. For our first story, we venture outside of Ravenbrook to a neighboring town as a group of teens attempt to unravel the mystery of the Beast of Bear Creek! Will their journey into the Hollow spell their own demise? Our second story comes home to Ravenbrook to check in with a family on Halloween night when their peaceful post-trick-or-treating ritual is interrupted by an unexpected and supremely unwelcome group of visitors. They would never have let them in if they’d had a choice. Happy Spooky Season and Enjoy!

This week, we are continuing Spooky Season with our first official Friday Night Fright of October! From now, until the end of October, we will be continuing our experiment with ChatGPT’s ability to compose short horror stories. This month, the stories will have a distinctly spooky theme.

Episode 118 - The Hook Hand Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

It’s finally Spooky Season, and we are diving into the deep end of our October series on Urban Legends! This week, we have an absolute classic. We all know the legend of the Hook Hand, the Hook, or the Hookman. An urban legend about a killer with a pirate-like hook for a hand attacking a couple in a parked car. In many versions of the story, the killer is typically portrayed as a faceless, silhouetted old man wearing a raincoat and rain hat that conceals most of his features, especially his face. What version of this monstrosity will show its face in this week’s installment? There is only one way to find out! Happy Spooky Season! Enjoy!

Episode 117 - Ted Bundy Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Ted Bundy was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped, and murdered dozens of young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, he confessed to 30 murders committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978. His true victim total is unknown. This week, we dive into the mind and crimes of one of the world’s most infamous killers. This one gets incredibly challenging, but we believe there is much to be learned from this monster’s reign of terror. Enjoy!
