This week, we’re discussing one of the most famous encounters in the cryptozoological canon. It was on a summer night in July 1924 that a group of gold prospectors in the Mount St. Helens area of Washington state found themselves face to face with a group of “mountain devils” on the trail ahead of them. After a harrowing chase through the trails they had forged, they barricaded themselves in the cabin they had built as a barrage of attacks lasted the entire night. Can this remarkable story really be believed? Could it have been an elaborate hoax? 99 years later, we can only speculate, but speculation is where all the fun is found. Right?

 

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.
