Episode 45 - The Ozark Howler

This week, we are discussing one of the most fearsome and under-discussed cryptids in the American pantheon: The Ozark Howler! Opening with a 27-minute full blown audio drama detailing a harrowing run-in with the maybe-malevolent Missouri monstrosity. Afterward, we get into the leading theories on the true nature of this thing and discuss the cultural importance of folklore. So, strap in Campers! This one is a wild ride. IT’S AN OMEN!Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week. This week’s episode includes the following sensitive content:Descriptions/Sound related to the Following:GaslightingCheck it Out!Tales of the Ozark Howler https://www.amazon.com/dp/1097616479/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3DZZ1PFP92EJBK0ZBN1EThe Ozark Howler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GZKPBBJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YYK2RSS0ZP6YJ8EHEC1K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1Blog written my Ozark native https://ozarkhowler.home.blog/2019/01/13/avoiding-pseudoscientific-just-so-stories-of-the-ozark-howler/Adverts!The Celestial Alien Oracle DeckFollow on Instagram!https://instagram.com/celestialalienoracle?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Join the Kickstarter!https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thecrescenthare/the-celestial-alien-oracle-deckSupport Campfire on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettlingSatisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702Join the conversation on social media atwww.campfirepodcastnetwork.com Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rzInstagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcastGoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplbTwitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcastVisit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info:https://linktr.ee/CampfirepodcastSpecial Thanks:Gregg Martin for music contributions!
