Show notes

Welcome back campers. Before we dive in, I’d like to thank writer Saturdead for allowing me to once again narrate one of their stories. If you want to read more from Saturdead, follow the link in the show notes.

You’ve heard the phrase, "the show must go on". But what happens when the ground you’re setting the stage on… doesn’t want one.

In tonight’s story, a crew is hired to throw together a last-minute concert in a forgotten Minnesota town—a pop-up event in a field that probably should’ve stayed untouched. From the moment they begin clearing the land, something feels wrong.

Like they’d stepped into someone or something’s bedroom. And whatever it was… woke up.

One by one, the crew starts to unravel. A brutal attack. A man vanishes. And then, the sobbing begins—soft, high-pitched, and close. Too close.

This isn’t just a story about a gig gone wrong. It’s about what happens when you disturb the old places. The quiet places. The places where something inhuman might be sleeping… and worse, might be lonely.

So grab your flashlight, pull your sleeping bag tight, and listen close. Because sometimes, the thing in the dark doesn’t growl. It sobs.

45 - Dogman, Bigfoot and More! May 13, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back campers. There’s something wrong with the woods. You’ve felt it. The silence that occurs too fast. The chill that creeps in, even when the sun is still up. The sense that something old is watching… waiting.

Tonight, we’re opening the floodgates.From towering, hair-covered giants and snarling beasts that walk like men, but look like wolves. To people who vanish without a trace, then return… hours later, claiming only minutes have passed.

We’ll explore accounts that defy logic—creatures that vanish into mist, flickers of another world just behind the trees, and stories whispered around firelight from those who swear they saw something… and were never the same again. Tonight is a journey into the places where the veil is thin, the shadows are alive, and time itself twists.

44 - The Glimmer Man May 06, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back campers, Tonight… we’re stepping into the forest, where something typically unseen watches and waits.

There are creatures that roar. Creatures that stalk. Creatures that tear through the trees with glowing eyes and massive claws. But what if the thing watching you doesn’t make a sound? What if it bends the light around itself—a distortion, a shimmer, a ripple in the air—almost invisible.

Eyewitnesses describe it like a scene straight out of Predator—a translucent figure, humanoid, stalking hunters, hikers, and campers in the deep woods. It doesn’t growl. It doesn’t chase. It just watches. And when it moves… it vanishes like heat rising off asphalt. Gone before you can even scream.

Is it military tech? A government experiment gone rogue? An interdimensional being? Or something even stranger?

Grab your flashlight, pull your sleeping bag a little tighter, and don’t trust what your eyes are telling you—because tonight on Campfire Cult, we’re diving deep into the terrifying encounters with the unseen: The Glimmer Man.

43 - Camping Horror Stories #3 Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back campers, tonight, we’re venturing deep into the woods—far beyond the safety of civilization—where the only thing standing between you and the unknown is the dim glow of a campfire and the thin walls of your tent.

This episode is filled with shadowy figures beyond the firelight, eerie whispers in the night, and strange sounds coming from nowhere. We’ll also find out, the real monsters aren’t legends or cryptids at all—they’re very, very human.

So, grab your flashlight, huddle in close, and try not to look over your shoulder—because out here, in the wilderness, you’re never truly alone.

42 - The Unnatural Wildlife of the Arctic Mire Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back campers. Tonight, we’re taking you deep into the Arctic wilderness, where something ancient and unknown lurks beneath the wetlands of northern Sweden. What starts as a simple research expedition soon turns into a nightmare as four scientists uncover eerie anomalies—missing wildlife, unsettling screams in the distance, and reindeer behaving in ways no animal should. When they step beyond the safety of their marked trail, they come face to face with something that defies explanation—something that watches, mimics, and hunts. What did they awaken in the mire? And why is it learning?

Join us as we unravel the chilling account of a survivor who escaped the depths of the Sjaunja wetlands—but not before witnessing something that should not exist. Lock your doors, turn down the lights, and listen closely—because tonight, the woods are whispering.

Before we begin, I’d like to thank Saturdead for allowing me to once again narrate one of their stories. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did and if you want to read more from writer Saturdead, follow the link in the show notes.
