Pull up a seat! It’s time to get in the Halloween spirit with some campfire stories.

In this special episode, Crow’s Feet writers and editors share some dark tales and memories of lore and legend just right for the season. 

Ever had an eerie experience you couldn’t explain? We’ve got a strange feeling you’re going to love “Cowbells and Ouija Boards” by Jan M. Flynn and “The Guardians of Dark Places” by C.M. Barrett (read by Jane Trombley). 

If ghost tales are more your thing, feel the goosebumps as Soozie Campbell tells “A Chilling Story” and Crow’s Feet founder Nancy Peckenham spins a tale about her great-great grandparents, “Margaret and Christopher.” 

The holiday wouldn’t be complete without a creature double feature! Two pieces – “The Werewolf of Defiance, Ohio” by Betsy Allen and “The Jersey Devil,” a poem by Jean Feldeisen – just might have you looking over your shoulder. 

And because we can’t resist leaving you with a smile, we treat you to a fun spooky season memory: “Gomez Addams and the Pumpkin Caper” by Nancy Franklin. 

Enjoy our show and Happy Halloween!
