EP 82: THE HIDEBEHIND OF AMERICA!

Written By Dylan Cantu

In the forest across America there is a cryptid that lurks in the shadows searching for their next meal. They stand tall at about 7ft and are able to manipulate their bodies in any shape in order to creep closer and closer to their prey. By the way did I mention their favorite prey was humans?!! If you don’t believe me, then listen to this week's episode and hear how the tale of this cryptid has been passed around since the 1700’s. We now know this cryptid as The Hidebehind and if you want to learn how to protect yourself from this creature then listen to this week's episode of Campfire Adventures. Enjoy!
