Some of the content you might come across can be scary to some people! We will talk about subjects like ghosts, demons, possession, alien abductions and more! We also can sometimes bring up subjects that can be hard for some individuals at times, so we think it's nice to give our listeners a heads up! Topics could include death, bad things happening to children, sexual assault, suicide, and other heavy subjects. If we feel that something in our episode needs a warning it will be below the episode description. If you hear something in an episode that we didn't disclose in our content warning please let us know! Thanks guys keep the campfire burning! /episode/index/show/campfirecurmudgeon/id/5914640
