Campfire Story: Ghosts, Horror, and Creepy Urban Legends

Scary FMwww.spreaker.com
Ghost stories, creepy internet urban legends, and mysterious creatures with a touch of silliness. New episodes every week!

We talk about ghosts and the paranormal, scary stories behind internet urban legends, and everything horror. Join us, your storytellers Michelle and Edwin, as we try to creep each other out.

Dive into scary stories with us through immersive sound to bring you into eerie folklore and modern-day cases of true hauntings, alien abductions, creepy memes, and haunted places. We keep it light here most of the time (weak stomachs), so you should be fine. 

Start from our most recent episodes and work your way back, or from where ever you choose. You do you.
