Philippine Campfire Stories
Hosted by Philippine Campfire Stories
A solo-narrated podcast sharing listener-submitted Filipino horror stories, urban legends, and encounters with mythical creatures.
A narrative horror anthology podcast focused entirely on Filipino folklore and paranormal experiences. The host, Earl "Campmaster" Jerico, reads stories sent in by his listeners, adding his own commentary and context. The show is characterized by its distinct lo-fi, analog aesthetic, using VHS-style video intros and a soundbed of crackling campfires and cassette tape effects to enhance the spooky, nostalgic atmosphere.
“The podcast's strict focus on Filipino-centric horror, sourced directly from its audience, sets it apart. Unlike interview or conversational shows, its power lies in the solo narration and lo-fi, analog sound design that evokes the feeling of a traditional, late-night storytelling session.”
