    Introducing The Campfire Compendium

    Hey, I’m dad! When I was a kid I was enthralled with stories of monsters, aliens, ghosts and any fanciful paranormal story I could get my hands on. Now I’m passing the stories, history and the reality on to my own kids (Lila and Nora). Every week we’ll explore something new. From Bigfoot to haunted dolls. Aliens to lost civilizations. And every odd place in between. Join us as we suspend belief, turn off the world of the reasonable and enjoy a bit of spooky wonder.  Nothing too spooky.  Nothing too serious. Everything just for fun. Join us at thecampfirecompendium.com on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
