Gather 'round as we unravel the mysteries that lie behind the glow of our campfire and delve into the depths of the paranormal and tread on the precipice of the macabre.

    68 - The Mothman Vol. 2 | The Campfire Cult Podcast
    Feb 10 2026

    Tonight’s episode looks up instead of into the woods.


    Most people think they know the Mothman story. One town. One bridge. One moment in time. But the encounters didn’t stop there — and they don’t all look the same.


    This episode pulls together firsthand accounts of massive winged beings seen gliding over highways, perched along treelines, and rising out of the dark in places where the sky feels way too close. Huge wingspans. Eyes that reflect wrong. Creatures that don’t act like animals — and don’t seem surprised to be seen.


    Some call it Mothman. Some don’t know what to call it at all.


    What’s consistent is the feeling afterward. Like the night isn’t empty anymore. Like something else is sharing the air above you.


    Listen with the lights low.


    And maybe keep an eye on the sky.

    67 - Michigan Horror Stories | The Campfire Cult Podcast
    Feb 3 2026
    Pull your chair a little closer to the fire tonight. Let the wind move through the trees. And listen for something lurking in the dark.Tonight, we’re heading north—past the city lights, past the highways, and deep into a place where forests stretch for miles, lakes swallow sound, and the wilderness still feels old… and watching.We’re headed to the state of Michigan.The Wolverine State is known for its water—vast inland seas that hide shipwrecks, fog that rolls in without warning, and shorelines where the horizon disappears entirely. But beyond the lakes, beyond the tourist towns and summer cabins, there’s another Michigan. One made of dense woods, abandoned logging roads, forgotten farmsteads, and stretches of land where cell service dies and the night feels heavier than it should.It’s in those places—where the trees press in close and the silence feels deliberate—that people begin to notice something is wrong.Michigan has no shortage of true paranormal encounters. Stories passed down through families. Shared quietly among hunters, campers, truckers, and late-night drivers. Stories that don’t feel like folklore when you hear them from someone who was there—someone whose voice still shakes when they talk about it.So zip up your tent. Check the treeline one more time. And remember—just because Michigan is surrounded by water… doesn’t mean there’s nothing hiding in the dark, waiting for you to fall asleep.And tonight… the woods of the Wolverine State are staying wide awake.Try Outlands Coffee: Buy Now Save $5 on your order with code CAMPFIRE at checkout!Become a Patreon Member: Become a Cult Member!Campfire Cult Merch: Shop NowPlease don't forget to rate and review wherever possible.

    66 - The Dogman Volume 4
    Dec 30 2025
    Welcome back campers and happy Early New Years.Tonight, we’re closing out the year with one of the most haunting creatures ever whispered about around a fire—the Dogman.These encounters come from highways and backwoods, quiet neighborhoods and deep wilderness, and from people who swear they saw something that shouldn’t exist. Some describe that towering, wolf-headed figure watching from the treeline.Others came far too close—close enough to feel the breath, hear the growl, or sense the intelligence behind those eyes.And as we gather for this final episode before the New Year, we’re diving into a wide stretch of stories: late-night sightings on lonely interstates, unnerving encounters near home, and brushes with something primal that seems to track, observe, and—every now and then—step right into the path of the living.So settle in, pull your hood up against the cold, and listen close. The woods may be quiet tonight… but Dogman stories have a way of following you well into the dark.Thanks for spending these nights with me in 2025—hope you all have a safe, warm, and wonder-filled 2026.Try Outlands Coffee: Buy Now Save $5 on your order with code CAMPFIRE at checkout!Become a Patreon Member: Become a Cult Member!Campfire Cult Merch: Shop NowPlease don't forget to rate and review wherever possible.
