Before you dive into our newest episode, a quick note from the team. This week’s show explores the eerie legends and ghost stories surrounding summer camps—a theme we recorded two weeks ago, before the devastating floods in Texas.Our hearts are heavy, and we want to extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by this recent tragedy. We stand with the victims, their families, and the entire community during this incredibly difficult time.What happens when summer camp becomes a setting not for s’mores and swimming, but for something much darker? In this nostalgic and spine-tingling episode, Adam Berry dives into the eerie evolution of summer camp—from wholesome wilderness retreats to blood-soaked horror tropes. With personal stories, classic lore, and a real-life paranormal investigation into a haunted camp, this episode is your ghost story told under the stars.ACT 1: What’s Lurking in the WoodsIt all started with good intentions. Summer camp began as a wholesome tradition—teaching kids life skills, building independence, and sparking lifelong friendships. But by the 1980s, Hollywood had transformed these idyllic escapes into brutal battlegrounds where slashers roamed and no one was safe once the sun went down.ACT 2: The Darkness Beyond the TreesAdam shares his own summer camp experiences, including an overnight trip, a church camp scare, and his first taste of ghost stories around the fire. These personal tales blur the line between fun and fear—and remind us how easily the woods can turn ominous.ACT 3: Get it Right or Pay the PriceJohn E.L. Tenney joins the show to break down why we tell ghost stories at all—especially around the campfire. From ancient warnings to psychological bonding, you’ll learn how storytelling has long been a way to scare, protect, and connect. And yes, some of these tales might just ignite a lifelong interest in the paranormal.ACT 4: A Night at Camp FearAdam revisits a chilling real-life investigation from Ghost Hunters, where he spent the night alone in a haunted cabin at a summer camp with a history of drownings and unexplained phenomena. What happened off-camera is even more unnerving than what made it to air…ACT 5: A Story for the Dark Road AheadTo close the episode, Adam brings us full circle with a classic urban legend guaranteed to make you check your backseat. “The Hook” is retold in full spooky detail—the perfect campfire tale to carry with you into the night. Just remember to keep the doors locked.
