It’s finally Spooky Season, and we are diving into the deep end of our October series on Urban Legends! This week, we have an absolute classic. We all know the legend of the Hook Hand, the Hook, or the Hookman. An urban legend about a killer with a pirate-like hook for a hand attacking a couple in a parked car. In many versions of the story, the killer is typically portrayed as a faceless, silhouetted old man wearing a raincoat and rain hat that conceals most of his features, especially his face. What version of this monstrosity will show its face in this week’s installment? There is only one way to find out! Happy Spooky Season! Enjoy! Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.  This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive subjects.  Extreme Graphic ViolenceMurderDismembermentStabbingViolence Against WomenLight Sexual Content Check Out Our Friends! BeneBenPlayinhttps://www.youtube.com/@benebenplayin Mothmen 1966https://store.steampowered.com/app/1755030/Mothmen_1966/ Bigfoot https://www.bigfootplay.com/ Articles: https://www.tbsnews.net/splash/legend-hookman-92941 https://academic-accelerator.com/encyclopedia/the-hook https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/33087 Books: https://a.co/d/gPFw9kR https://a.co/d/d5h2yxm Adverts! Support Campfire on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettling Satisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702 Join the conversation on social media at www.campfirepodcastnetwork.com  Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rz Instagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcast GoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplb Twitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau  Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcast Visit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info:https://linktr.ee/Campfirepodcast Special Thanks: Gregg Martin for music contributions!
