ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In the chilling series finale of the Campfire Stories miniseries, Mike and JT are joined in the dark woods by Jen from Our True Crime Podcast for an atmospheric ghost story that quickly spirals into a real-life supernatural nightmare. When Jen introduces a vintage 1972 Parker Brothers Ouija board to set the mood, the surrounding environment drastically warps—the campfire turns a sickly violet, the August temperature plummets to freezing, and the trees bend inward to trap the hosts inside a spatial pocket dimension. They discover that they have inadvertently summoned "The Listener," an egregore born from weeks of concentrated fear poured into the woods during their storytelling. When the psychic entity demands a terrifying story in exchange for their lives, the trio realizes traditional horror won't work and instead collaborates to creatively "unmake" the monster. By combining Jen's clinical true crime profiling, Mike's grounding nature imagery, and JT's weaponized mundane dread—featuring the ultimate horror of an IRS audit and being stuck on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in a broken U-Haul—they manage to confuse the creature enough for Mike to "beard-smack" it into oblivion. The thrilling finale also features a spooky cameo by Ed from Octoberpod AM, wrapping up an unforgettable summer for the Brew Crime Podcast production.
