This episode we gather round the Campfire to welcome Jason Hewlett to discuss the new film Cursed Waters and his book The Legend of Ogopogo. Take a deep dive into the story behind these two works and a look behind the scenes of Monsterfrest 2! No that's not a typo!

In this special edition of Cryptid Campfire, we talk to Small Town Monsters producer Heather Moser. Heather, also known as the Pagan Historian, hosts her own podcast, called The Lore You Know, as well as balancing many duties at Small Town Monsters. In this episode she discusses many of her paranormal experiences and hints at the secret ingredient in her Tuna Casserole.

Aaron Deese is an author and host of the podcast Hey Strangeness. Aaron compiled research on the dogman phenomenon in Texas and discovered a triangular pattern over the center of the state. This research was developed into a manuscript titled The Texas Dogman Triangle, which is now available for purchase through Amazon or the Small Town Monsters website.

This month in the NEWS! We remember the life of Champ researcher Scott Mardis and Bigfoot researcher Cliff Olson. We discuss new UFO reports from Minnesota as well as a new Loch Ness Monster sighting!

Coming from the field is a sneak peek of the work Eli has been doing with Aleksandar Petakov for the new Small Town Monsters series: Beyond the Trail. They discuss their road trip journey from California to Oregon on the last night of their venture and offer some tantalizing bits about what's in store for the upcoming episodes.

Mark Matzke is a part of the Small Town Monsters crew as well as a Lutheran Pastor. His knowledge, cryptozoological expertise and insight make him a fun person to talk to about Bigfoot, monsters and kaijus.

And we're back in this new year with a chill interview with Andy Matzke of Small Town Monsters. It's a laid back conversation about cryptozoology, favorite cryptids and horror films.
