Episode 56 - The Gurning Man of Scotland

Back in the spring of 1976, the sleepy community of Crosshill began experiencing a series of terrifying encounters. Soon, the Gurning Man captured the fear and imaginations of women throughout Glasgow. This disturbing visage of a seemingly black-clad tall spindly humanoid figure started stalking the women of Crosshill relentlessly and even showed up in the bedrooms of several unfortunate victims. Join us as we attempt to get to the bottom of what has become one of Scotland most enduring modern urban legends. PROBABLY NOT A DRUNK INTERPRETIVE DANCER. 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:Stalking Sexual AssaultSleep ParalysisSerial MurderViolence Against WomenCheck it Out!Adverts!Create Magic Studioshttps://linktr.ee/CreatemagicstudiosSupport 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!
