35 Bone-Chilling Campfire Stories That Will Haunt You Long After the Flames Die Out

“Sweetie, come down here.”

The little girl jumped up and ran out the door where she suddenly ran into her mother at the top of the stairs. Her mother reached out and quickly covered the girls mouth so she couldn’t make a sound.

“Don’t go down there, I heard it too,” she said.

Person wrapped in a sleeping bag inside a dark cave, evoking the eerie atmosphere of creepy stories in the woods. I love this one short and just creepy enough:

I had a roommate/friend of mine in college decided one summer to solo hike through a bunch of Colorado. He’s kinda odd. He’s one of those kinda people that automatically thinks old stuff is better, that will only takes photos on film, and has a ridiculous record collection. But he’s also pretty experienced camper so no one was very worried about him. It’s kinda a “soul searching” thing for him. But anyway, he goes off for two month and he comes back and he’s telling me about his trip. “It was amazing… just out in nature… so many stars” that kind of stuff. And also, “there were a couple days I felt like I was being watched, but I never met anyone on the trail. Super weird. I even thought I saw someone, but nope” A couple days later he gets his photos from the local film developer he uses. And he gets back to the apartment and shows me the photos like he always does, but he seems… off? I’m looking through the photos, and there are beautiful landscapes, his camp set up, his breakfast, and then right in the middle of their are 4 photos of him in his sleeping bag… sleeping.

Young woman looking scared and anxious, capturing the eerie mood perfect for creepy stories in dark woods. TYPICAL FILIPINO STORIES:

* Almost all schools are Catholic schools in my country and they’re either built over a cemetery and/or used to be a barracks/hospital during WW2.

* Maria Labo – Though I think this one is just from our island but I do remember reading about it in a national horror magazine so it must’ve spread. Poor woman goes to London to work as a caregiver, she comes back as an aswang/ghoul. Cooks up her children, her husband finds out and slices her face with a “labo” or machete. Now she roams the countryside searching for her next meal.This caused so much panic in my town that the radio station had to issue a statement that it was just a folk tale.

* Tiyanak – If you’re out hiking in the woods during dusk or night and you hear a baby crying, do not help it, just run away. It will eat you.

Of course, no campfire is complete without storytelling. Stories are the heart and soul of any campfire gathering. They’re what transform an ordinary fire into a memorable night. From spooky ghost tales that send shivers down your spine to lighthearted jokes and funny life experiences, storytelling brings people closer and keeps the energy alive.

Abandoned boat on rocky shore near clear water with rugged cliffs and sparse trees in the background. One hundred years ago, out in the waters around Spivey Point, a small clipper ship drew toward land. Suddenly, out of the night, the fog rolled in. For a moment, they could see nothing, not a foot in front of them.

Then, they saw a light. By God, it was a fire burning on the shore, strong enough to penetrate the swirling mist. They steered a course toward the light. But it was a campfire, like this one. The ship crashed against the rocks, the hull sheared in two, masts snapped like a twig. The wreckage sank, with all the men aboard.

At the bottom of the sea, lay the Elizabeth Dane, with her crew, their lungs filled with salt water, their eyes open, staring to the darkness. And above, as suddenly as it come, the fog lifted, receded back across the ocean and never came again.

But it is told by the fishermen, and their fathers and grandfathers, that when the fog returns to Antonio Bay, the men at the bottom of the sea, out in the water by Spivey Point will rise up and search for the campfire that led them to their dark, icy death.

Close-up of hands applying bandage on finger, illustrating a moment of care in a setting fit for creepy stories in the dark woods. Gosh, lets see if I can recall it correctly.

There was a body of a fairly large person, once found in the woods. They were quickly killed, and there was nothing extremely off about the scene, except he had half of his pointer, ring, and pinky finger all missing from his left hand. No one could find the missing fingers, and they never found any clues. A few weeks later, another body was found, another man who was a bit smaller than the previous guy. Same situation, quickly killed, and 3 fingers missing all from the left hand, and still no clues.

A few more weeks went by, and this time it was a woman who was found, smaller than the second guy found, same fingers missing from the same hand. This went on for a while, with the victims getting smaller and smaller, until it was kids bodies being found. One teenagers body though, only had the ring finger and pinky finger removed. The police found a fingerprint at this crime scene, and they found it matched the prints from a theft record from the previous victim.

The guy telling the story then told the kids that the killer was searching to replace his fingers, and so far, he had yet to see if the fingers of children their age would fit. He then took off his glove, showing he had a scarred pointer finger and was missing half his ring and pinky finger, and then lunged at the kids while screaming.
