Campfire Adventures

I feel like one of the things I search for while researching topics for an episode is whether something is the first of its kind or the most well known. So when the idea came up for this episode it only seemed fitting to find the most well known. Now this particular story dates all the way back to the 1600’s and it involves the dark arts and a culture connected to it more than they realize. This i...

In Louisville, Kentucky there is a legend that has haunted the land for generations. It’s said that a goat-like man known as the Pope Lick Monster calls a train trestle bridge in the area home.

If there’s a way to stop it, I'm still on the search to find it, but I do have some potential solutions. So grab a drink, re...
