Episode 53 - Penteli Cave

This week, we’re exploring the fascinating history of a little-known gem in the Greek countryside, Penteli Cave. Fifth Century Athenian marble quarry, 11th Century Byzantine church, the hideout of countless bandits, home to nomadic monks and wandering philosophers. Sightings of shadow people, vanishing humanoid goat figures, bipedal felines, electromagnetic and gravitational anomalies, floating black spheres, and reappearing dolls. There appears to be no end to the anomalous activity in this incredible place. So, will two amateur Forteans disseminate the truth behind one of the world’s longest standing mysteries? We’re certainly going to try! PLUS THERE’S A SWIRLING BLACK SPHERE DRONE!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:NONE!Check it Out!A Song for the Spirits of Penteli Mountain Davelis Cavehttps://youtu.be/PoATESxhSRkA Short Documentaryhttps://youtu.be/r6yZnYl-45oThe Penteli Cave Enigma – A Place of Unexplained Phenomena Since Ancient Times https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends-europe/penteli-cave-0011268Adverts!Anthology of HeroesAnthology Of Heroes Podcast | LinktreeSupport 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!
