EP 108 - THE DEARG DUE - 2ND BDAY EP!

Guess what …. This week we are celebrating Campfire Adventures Podcast’s 2nd Birthday! Can you believe it, we made it to two years of podcasting and we are going strong? Well because our birthday falls on St. Patrick’s Day we have set up the festivities all around Irish themed fun and shenanigans. We went to a St. Patrick’s Day festival, we have plans for a special dinner and we might even take a trip to Vegas! But nothing would be better than celebrating this week with a story about another Irish cryptid. Since our first episode was of a Vampire and so was the second birthday episode then the only appropriate thing to do would be to keep the tradition alive. So this week I would like to tell you the heartbreaking story of how a beautiful maiden lost love and her life and eventually turned into a Vampire. So get your drinks ready and enjoy listening to the story of the Dearg Due!
