Back in the spring of 1976, the sleepy community of Crosshill began experiencing a series of terrifying encounters. Soon, the Gurning Man captured the fear and imaginations of women throughout Glasgow. This disturbing visage of a seemingly black-clad tall spindly humanoid figure started stalking the women of Crosshill relentlessly and even showed up in the bedrooms of several unfortunate victims. Join us as we attempt to get to the bottom of what has become one of Scotland most enduring modern urban legends. PROBABLY NOT A DRUNK INTERPRETIVE DANCER. 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.
