These are the stories of impossible encounters with impossible creatures in the wildest corners of North America. We’ll travel the country, sit around campfires and talk about that thing that ran across the trail in the middle of the night, just beyond the beam of your flashlight. Come closer to the fire. Let’s hear the next legend.

It’s the night before Christmas in a forgotten valley high in the mountains of Carinthia. It’s a black, cold night. And we’re about to learn about the creature that haunts the castle halls, bringing to the naughty boys and girls a fate much worse than coal in their stocking.
We’re sure you’ve all heard of the Sasquatch. Possibly the best-known legendary creature of all time, with entire groups dedicated to finding it. There have even been scientists who have dedicated their life to proving that Bigfoot does indeed walk this earth. And in this bonus episode, we’re handing the mic to Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon is a Quinault native elder, a renowned storyteller and an honored historian. Her stories evoke the vivid spirituality and moral lessons of a rich culture, while allowing listeners to experience the heartfelt tales of a traditional storyteller.
Down along the coast of South Carolina, the people of the Sea Islands have a name for that dream that some of them have. They call it the “Boo,” and it’s been around for a very long time. As long as anyone can remember. And the strange thing is that, just in this area, in the Sea Islands, the descriptions of the Boo are so consistent, even from people who have never heard of this dream-creature before. If it is a dream. But if it is a dream, no one has it for very long. They get rid of it, or… or the other way around.
What is the Hidebehind supposed to be? Just what it sounds like: a creature you never see directly, that always ducks back behind the nearest tree or rock when you turn to look at it. It sounds harmless enough, but so does any nightmare once you’re awake. And there are places where it can be a bit harder to awaken. Places where dreams come closer to reality. Places like the forests of the Pacific Northwest where the idea that something may be just behind that tree, watching you, drawing back when you turn your head to look, seems a bit too plausible.
Bring a flashlight. Or a headlamp, if you have one. Bring a sweater, no matter what the weather is like outside. The further we go, the cooler and darker it will get. Bring boots too, the higher the better. The walls and ceilings drip and ooze, the floors are wet with muck. Down there, under the city. Down in that… wilderness? Well, it may be uncultivated and inhospitable, but it certainly is inhabited. What inhabits it depends on how deep you go. In this episode we’ll go as deep as we can. Deeper than perhaps we should.
You’re out swimming when you feel a pinch on your leg. Is it a harmless fish or something a bit more sinister? Meet this week’s Camp Monster… The Letiche. A creature that lurks in the swamps and bayous of Louisiana.
In this episode we’re going out right to the very edge of the firelight, watching and listening. We’ll go out where others swear they’ve seen something, heard something … something ancient, large, and threatening. Something from those dark old times when someone around the fire always had to stay awake, to keep watch.
If you’re looking for a beautiful sunset, go to the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. They call it the Rim because that’s what it is: the rim of the giant Colorado plateau, where it drops off into the pine forest lowlands below. Most of the Rim is National Forest, so you can drive or hike or bike or even ride horseback to countless viewpoints where you can watch the descending sun turn everything a glowing red.
