Last Embers

Three stories. Three different campsites. Three different nightmares. Renz brings the scariest camping stories to the fire tonight.

The hosts dive deep into the terrifying legend of the Wendigo.

A man found dead on an Australian beach in 1948. No identification. A mysterious code in a book. Tamam Shud - it is finished. Seventy-four years later, DNA finally gave him a name. But the mystery only deepened. Jan takes the case to the fire.

A young German woman believed she was possessed by demons. Her family performed sixty-seven exorcisms over ten months. She died of malnutrition and dehydration. The court case that followed changed how we think about faith, mental illness, and the line between belief and negligence.

Nine hundred and nine people dead in the jungles of Guyana. The Jonestown Massacre remains one of the most devastating examples of what happens when a charismatic leader goes unchecked. Paul, Renz, Jan, and Angel sit around the fire and unpack the darkest chapter in modern history.

The 1997 disappearance of sisters Mariel and Jacquelyn Chiong from Cebu City, Philippines. Seven men convicted, but 45 alibi witnesses rejected. Bodies never found. Decades later, the Supreme Court overturned the convictions. Was it justice or one of the greatest wrongful convictions in Philippine history?

The four friends gather around the campfire to discuss the mysterious deaths of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains in 1959. What really happened on that frozen slope?

Four friends sit around a campfire in the Canadian woods — and before they knew it, they had a podcast. Last Embers is a raw, unscripted conversation between Paul, Renz, Jan, and Angel — four Filipino-Canadian guys who bonded over horror stories, true crime rabbit holes, and late-night camping trips. Episode Zero is exactly what it sounds like: no formal topic, just four voices figuring out the vibe, roasting each other, and discovering that the campfire makes everything hit different. This is the pilot. The origin. The night before the stories begin. Pull up a log. The fire is lit.
