The Camp Monsters podcast shares outdoor monster stories from all over the United States. What was that noise in the woods? Is a monster lurking somewhere out there? This podcast explains the hidden horrors in the woods. For listeners who are sitting around a campfire or commuting, this spooky podcast is fun and entertaining. Outdoor store chain REI is behind the podcast. They want to encourage people to get outside and enjoy wildlife. This show has its own kinds of wildlife, though.
Weston Davis hosts and writes the podcast. He shares stories of monsters that listeners may or may not have heard of. From famous legends to small-town stories, this podcast shares monster "impossibilities." For example, one episode talks about the Mothman of Point Pleasant, a sign of doom for those who see it. The Mothman became famous after the movie The Mothman Prophecies.
Other Camp Monsters legends include Gumberoo of the Cascade Mountains. This monster has a tough hide that can repel bullets. He explores the legend of South Carolina's Lizard Man, who is seven feet tall with scaly skin. Listeners can learn about "hogzilla" and what is the Alkali Lake monster.
The podcast does more than talk about famous stories, though. It also offers unique information on how the idea for the show originated. During the summer, Davis offers summer camp shows on Camp Monsters. Campers can turn these on to spice up the camp nights. Adults can also use them for amusing nights in a tent. Each story is immersive and interesting.
This podcast is a good mix of scary and fun to listen to. It offers a blend of expert narrations and spooky legends. Each episode is around 30 minutes.
