Fireside Chats: Cryptid Comforts with Lisa Russell

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the owner and operator of Cryptid Comforts. She has spent the last eight years filling the market and our hearts with some of the most adorable and beautifully designed stuffed cryptids. She is a certified veteran of the paranormal conventions circuit and offers a truly unique perspective on the value of paratourism and small town festivals. We also managed to drag out a few paranormal experiences of her own that were truly chilling. Go follow her and check her schedule odds are, she’ll be in a city near you sooner than you think.

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 the following sensitive content:
