    69 - The Mimic Volume 2 | The Campfire Cult Podcast
    Feb 17 2026
    Some things in the woods don’t want to be seen. They want to be heard.Tonight’s episode is all about The Mimic — voices in the forest that sound familiar, comforting… and wrong. Friends calling your name when they aren’t there. A woman singing where no one should be. Voices that repeat themselves, answer questions no one asked, or come from places that don’t make sense.Across these stories, the pattern is clear: The voice knows you. The tone is off. And every instinct says the same thing — don’t answer.These encounters span deep Appalachian woods, remote trails, rural backyards, and isolated campsites. Different places, same feeling. A sense of being watched. The realization that the voice isn’t the threat — it’s the lure.Because whatever’s out there doesn’t need to chase you.It just needs you to take one step off the path, and follow what you are hearing.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.

  • 68 - The Mothman Vol. 2 | The Campfire Cult Podcast

    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.

    65 - The Glimmer Man Volume 3
    Dec 23 2025
    Welcome back campers. Gather ‘round and maybe zip up that sleeping bag a little tighter.Because this episode isn’t about something hiding behind the trees or watching you from the ridgeline. No—this one is about something far stranger. Something that doesn’t bother to hide at all.Tonight, we’re stepping into the world, of the Glimmer Man… that impossible, shimmering outline people compare to The Predator from the movie by the same name. A thing that bends the light around itself, moves like heat ripple over hot asphalt, and shows up in places where no human—or animal—should be.In this episode, we’re hearing from people who watched something invisible stalking them in daylight… slipping between trees at night… crouching, climbing, and closing in without a sound.No matter where these stories take us, one thing is clear: whatever the Glimmer Man is… it’s watching. Waiting. And leaving people with a kind of dread that sticks with them long after they reach safety.So set your lantern low, take a breath, and settle in. Because tonight, we’re walking the thin line between this world… and whatever waits just past the treeline.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.

    64 - Desert Horror Stories
    Dec 16 2025
    Welcome back, campers. Pull up close and settle in, because we’re stepping into vast, sun-bleached desert wastelands. Out there, under all that sky and silence, the weird stuff doesn’t hide in shadows… it's right out in the open.Tonight’s encounters scattered across lonely highways, forgotten backroads, badlands, and the barren spaces where the world feels just a little too big.We’ve got run-ins that leave the air too still… shapes bending the moonlight… voices calling from places no one should be… and creatures that seem stitched together out of heat haze and nightmares.So… take a breath. Let the wind settle. And keep your eyes on the horizon.Because out in the desert, nothing needs the cover of trees. The empty dark stretches wide enough to hide anything that wants to find you.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.

  • 63 - The Hunted: Hunters True Encounters with the Paranormal

    63 - The Hunted: Hunters True Encounters with the Paranormal
    Dec 9 2025
    Tonight, we step off the trail and into the quiet places hunters know best—those stretches of timber where the world goes still, the wind holds its breath, and something ancient waits just beyond the treeline. These stories come from men and women who’ve spent their lives in the woods… people who know every branch snap, every scent on the air, every shadow that should be there—and the ones that shouldn’t.You’ll hear accounts of trackers becoming the tracked, of impossible shapes gliding between the pines, of voices that don’t belong in the backcountry, and encounters that shake even the most seasoned outdoorsmen to their core. From eerie mimicry to towering figures to moments where reality itself seems to bend, each of these stories reminds us that some things in the wilderness don’t care how prepared you are… only that you came alone.So zip up your jacket, turn off your headlamp, and settle in close to the fire.Because tonight, hunters bring back more than the game they hunt—they’re bring back the truth about what’s really out there.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.

    62 - Bigfoot Volume 4
    Dec 2 2025

    Welcome back, campers. Tonight’s episode is for the believers, the skeptics, and everyone who’s ever felt eyes watching from the treeline. We’re heading deep into the backwoods—across mountain passes, forgotten highways, and fog-drenched trails—following the heavy footsteps of something far older than legend. From eerie knocks in the Olympic wilderness to shadowed shapes on lonely Pennsylvania roads, every story tonight carries the same unmistakable sound… the echo of something massive, moving just beyond the glow of your campfire.


    So pour your coffee, zip up that tent tight, and listen close—because tonight, every story is an encounter with—the big guy.
