54 - The Mimic in the Woods and Other Terrifying Monsters

Tonight the woods have a way of calling to us. Sometimes it’s the whisper of wind through the pines. Sometimes it’s the promise of a quiet trail, a hidden lake, or the thrill of being far from anyone who could hear you scream.But there’s another kind of call—quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. A voice that sounds almost like someone you know. A whistle that echoes your own. Footsteps in sync with yours… until they aren’t.Tonight, the firelight’s not going to keep them at bay. From the Appalachian highlands to the shadowed swamps of the South, from the Canadian wilderness to the deserts of the Southwest—something is out there. Watching. Mimicking. Following.And as you’ll hear, it doesn’t matter if you’re deep in the forest, sleeping in your tent, or just walking home in the rain—when it decides to step into your world, there’s nowhere to hide.So stoke the flames, draw close, and listen. Because tonight… the voices in the dark are calling. And they know your name.Try Outlands Coffee: Buy Now Save $5 on your order with code CAMPFIRE at checkout!Become a Patreon Member: Become a Cult Member!Campfire Cult Merch: Shop NowPlease don't forget to rate and review wherever possible.
