Show notes: 

In this episode, we head deep into the forest to explore two chilling legends that haunt campers and hikers alike. First, we meet The Whistling Man, a sinister figure inspired by Venezuela's El Silbón, who might just follow you home if you dare to answer his eerie four-note tune. Then, we unravel the mystery of The Last Campsite, a ghostly clearing in the woods that some say doesn’t exist—except to those who vanish there.
