Lizzie Borden and the Murders!

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. 

Continuing with Halloween episodes, I picked a story this week that inspired the movie The Strangers. Have you ever heard about the Keddie Cabin Murders? In 1981 this town would be forever changed when four people were murdered in cabin #28. To this day the murders has gone unsolved and I feel like I have so many questions. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Also P.S. this episode has a lot of heavy parts so be prepared. 

It’s that time of the year again! Happy Halloween season everyone, and to kick things off I figured we’d cover the true story of one of my favorite scary movies The Conjuring. If you haven’t seen this movie yet then I’d recommend giving it a watch, it's available on HBO Max now, but if not I will give a brief synopsis of the movie in the episode. Basically were covering the true story of how this family of 6 the Perrons moved into their new home and were plagued with hauntings specifically of a witch Bathsheba. Take a listen and I hope you enjoy it!

There is a phantom, alien or maybe just a legend about a man found in West Virginia that perpetually smiles. You might be wondering what that means, basically when this being is seen all you see is a man that has this wide smile stuck on his face. He was only seen two times in the 1960’s and has been associated with the Mothman (who P.S. has his own episode). Is this being sinister or just trying to help, maybe you can decide after I share the few accounts we have about this cryptid we now know as Indrid Cold aka The Smiling Man. 

Welcome Campers to the newest episode of Campfire Adventures! This week we are telling a story with a little bit of a twist. It's going to involve some true crime and ultimately it turns into a story about one of America's most haunted houses. This is the story about Lizzie Borden and the murder that took place in her family home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Ultimately Lizzie’s father and step mother were gruesomely murdered, but the events that led up to this and what happened after are what keep this story relevant and also created the storyline for this haunted house. With that said I hope you enjoy the episode and let me know what you think. 

It’s that time of the year again, Jordan has taken over the podcast. This week she tells us a tale of a legendary Japanese spirit known as Kuchisake-Onna. A once beautiful woman who suffered a mutilation that left her unalived. During our annual adventures around Los Angeles we paused at the Old LA Zoo to take a moment and share this story with you. Let us know what you think. Enjoy!

Annnnnddddd we're back! Now what would be better for our return then a story about a Bigfoot! However, we're going to Australia for this one. It is known as the Yowie and it has been evading the public for years. So much so that the sightings come few and far between, but when they happen they've been shared with the news outlet. Listen to the episode and let me know what you think, does Australia have its own Bigfoot?
