    8 True Summer Camp Horror Stories to Fall Asleep To | 1 Hour by the Campfire | Vol. 7

    Eight true stories from summer camps, campgrounds and campfires, told slowly over the sound of a small fire. The real Boy Scout camp where Friday the 13th was filmed. A mountain that fell on a campground in 1959. A light over a lake in Maine, and four men who never agreed on what happened next. Two campsites in Glacier, nine miles apart, on one night in 1967. The footprints that gave Bigfoot his name. A canyon flood on the eve of Colorado's 100th birthday. A meadow in the Smokies where a little boy went missing. And a man lost in the Yellowstone for thirty seven days. No jump scares, no loud sounds. If you drift off, the fire keeps going until the hour is up.
