Gather around the crackling campfire at Camp Duskwood, nestled by the tranquil yet eerie shores of Twilight Lake, and join host and narrator Otis Jiry for tales...
Some legends are just stories, whispered in the dark to keep children from wandering too far. But others? Others leave scars. Tonight, Otis Jiry invites you to the fire for two tales that blur the line between folklore and nightmare. A brother and sister take an innocent drive through the backroads—only to stumble upon something that doesn’t belong in this world. Meanwhile, in a quiet town, a teenager searching for the truth behind a local myth finds more than he ever bargained for.
Some stories are meant to be told. Some should stay buried. And some… bite back. Pull up a seat, keep the fire close, and listen well. But be warned—these legends have teeth.
PODCAST SUMMARY
"The Skin Collector" by Corban Groshek – When teenage twins Jessie and Alec take their first solo drive in their new car, a detour down a lonely backroad leads them to a decaying barn—and something watching from the shadows.

As they return again and again, searching for answers, they uncover something far worse than a ghost story. A chilling tale of folklore, fixation, and the horrors that refuse to stay buried.
"The Woman on Sticks" by Corban Groshek – Jacob Pines will do anything to impress Jane Corcorin, even if it means faking proof of their town’s most notorious legend: Pegleg Peggy. But when his harmless prank captures more than he intended, Jacob finds himself in the center of a terrifying discovery—one that could finally prove the legend true, at the cost of his own survival. A tense and gripping story about ambition, obsession, and the consequences of seeking what should remain hidden.
