EP 83: THE TALE OF THE SLUAGH!
Welcome back to another episode of Campfire Adventures. This week's episode is a shout out to our Canadian audience! I wanted to share a story of a cryptid from the Great White North, so ladies and gentlemen let me tell you the tale of the legendary Sluagh. This winged creature was once human and thanks to the deeds they did during their life instead of moving on they were turned into a Sluagh. For the rest of their existence they are forced to travel in a flock of these cryptids in search of dying souls to collect. Now, they aren't opposed to attacking any human and if you wanna know how to save yourself in this scenario take a listen to this week's episode. You might need your blanket for this one so have it ready just in case. Enjoy!
