This episode was part of the now defunct podcast A Schilling for your Thoughts. Host Heidi, thought that it was more fitting to be included on Campfire Curmudgeon! This episode is much spookier than usual as it deals with real life criminal activity. Viewer discretion is STRONGLY advised. This episode is also very special as it features the late Christopher R. Smith. longtime friend and collaborator.   This one is sure to make your skin crawl! You've probably heard of snuff films, but are they real? Is it just an urban legend? No! Yes? Maybe! This one might come down to semantics. Extreme listener discretion advised *Warning* Discussions of graphic crimes committed, including crimes against children and animals.

A member of the Phoenix film community, a writer, director, podcaster, and friend.

30 A Big Cluster of Oops

Gather 'round Campers! In this episode we share a listener-submitted story from Alan, who grew up in North jersey with his friend Ed. Alan was nice enough to compile these true events, with some help from Ed, into this captivating story!  Some things are only known to others through the stories that are told over the years. This is one of those things but only now is the story being told. A hazy memory of a summer night that chilled us to bone we dare not repeat. Our youth wrought an indestructible feeling within us but fear of something we didn’t understand had made us humble. The sacred land of our youth was filled with mystery after we thought it all boring and predictable. There are things that live in the space between the dust of the ground and the living above that should never be disturbed..... Alan T. Yardley, PA 7/9/2018
