The Truth Behind Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!

I kinda missed doing episodes based off of scary movies and we’ve been meaning to cover this one for a long time. So without further ado, have you watched the movie Candyman? Or maybe you just heard about the urban legend and even tried to say the name 5 times in the mirror. Well if you didn’t know they were inspired by the real life story of Ruthie Mae MacCoy. In 1987 she called the police because of a break in, however her call was made in vain because the cops, well lets just say dropped the ball. I can say more, but why not just take a listen to this week's episode. Enjoy!

We got a great episode today for you Campers. We talk about the show Wednesday, the best selling novel Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Novel by Robert Louis Stevenson and of course the true stories that inspired these stories. Well lets just say they allegedly inspire them. We have some great commentary from our cohost Nicky. All in all I really think you're going to like this one. Enjoy!

With inspiration from my cohost’s pup named Willy, I thought I would do a twofer episode. We meet a beast known as the Malawi Terror who causes mass mayhem in two distinct years. And not too far away there lives another cryptid known as the Nandi Bear whose lineage is believed to hail from prehistoric creatures. It's an entertaining episode with the help of my friend Wil. Enjoy! Oh and also there is a bonus story! 

Time for a podcast take over!! J-Dizzy tells us a story this week from Greek mythology … have you ever heard of a Chimera? In this week's episode our host does a deep dive into the life and legend of Chimera. A creature whose lineage is one not to be overlooked, but with a life like hers who could ever think of doing such a thing. It’s time for us to grab a drink and enjoy this week's episode.

We're back! And who better to celebrate with than the King of Otters. In Ireland there lives a cryptid, ok maybe a few of them and wouldn't you know it they have a taste for blood. For centuries they have called the lakes, rivers and oceans of this country home. Do we have proof ... technically no, but we do have some stories. Take a listen and enjoy!

Happy 4th Bday Campfire Adventures! I still have to release our official birthday episode, but to hold us over I recorded a special episode with our co host Camper Jacob! We are going to explore an urban legend from the late 1800's. There's a mother and daughter who went on a holiday and during their lay over their lives would change forever. Take a listen and follow along as Jacob and I try to piece together the events of what actually happened to this mother and daughter. Enjoy!

On the eve of Epiphany it is said that there is a witch named La Befana that visits the homes of children in Italy. If you are good she will leave a treat, but if you are naughty then you aren’t as lucky. Her tradition started in the 13th century and has continued into today’s holiday season. Now is she a good witch or a bad witch, maybe decide that after you hear this week's episode. Enjoy the episode and of course your holiday season. 

Have you had a chance to watch the new movie TRAP? Well if you haven’t, then I think you should login to HBO Max and push play. In the movie you will follow a story about how the police force try to get a murderer off the street while they hide in plain sight amongst innocent people. Sounds good right? Well it's lightly based on a true story so that makes it even better. The inspirational event was called Operation Flagship and it was when the US Marshall and the local police stations worked together to do one of the biggest stings in history to capture convicts. Take a listen to this week's episode and find out what happens. Enjoy!

Well it's about that time we made it to the end of the Halloween season. I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween this year. To wrap everything up we have one more episode that was inspired by a true story that inspired a scary movie. The movie is named The Lighthouse and it follows the lives of two workers who are in charge of running this lighthouse out in the middle of the ocean. Egos and personalities get in the way and eventually it leads to how the movie ends, but I’ll leave it at that. But the crazy thing is that it was all based on a true story. There was a lighthouse off the coast of Wales where two keepers suffered a tragedy. I’m not really sure how to say a brief summary of this episode without giving too much away except for their lives were never the same and the events changed history. Enjoy the episode!

In this week's episode we are going to dive into the true story that inspired the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Have you ever seen this movie? Well if not you can on Amazon Prime or just listen to this episode and I’ll give you a brief synopsis. However what you might not know is that this movie is based on the true life of Anneliese Michel. Her story isn’t easy to listen to, it involves epileptic episodes, demon possession and even exorcisms. It’s a heavy story, but it needs to be shared, so take a listen and let me know your thoughts.
