    Great lens on a really great subject! I agree with mderbyshire that it sucks campfires are banned almost everywhere. This is also a fact in my country, The Netherlands. Just had to ventilate this but don't want to sound too negative. So again, very entertaining lens! 5*

    I really don't like scary stories any more, but what a great idea for a lens! Sitting around a fire is fun, no matter what you do.
  • Mar 24, 2009 @ 11:01 am | delete
    Good lens! There is much to be said for relaxing around a real campfire with some good company and interesting stories to tell or listen to. It is certainly most atmospheric!

    Unfortunately, thanks to government nonsense, traditional campfires are now banned in many places when out camping (though I can obviously see the need for this in particularly hot and dry climates). This is a real shame, because I find using them for cooking is much more of a delight than using a stove (and obviously more cost efficient!). That said, check out my own lens on choosing a camping stove for times when building a campfire isn't an option.

    Take care.

    Cool lens! My family loves camping, and since we live in FL near some awesome beach camping sites we tend to take little excursions all winter... I am going to put this lens to good use. Nice job.
  • Evelyn_Saenz Oct 14, 2008 @ 4:45 am | delete
    Every summer we enjoy telling ghost stories by the campfire. Each year the tales get longer and more embellished. Thank you for posting so many new ghostly story starters. It will make for a terrifyingly great time on our next camping trip.

    I really love camping and ghost story telling around the bonfire.

    nice lens here!
  • youhavegottobekidding Jul 2, 2008 @ 9:37 pm | delete
    well you could really give a great story if your in the mood of telling it it will be a boring story if your not.

    Great Lens.

    You are so right about practice. When i am on a roll I can recite a few good back to back stories for my daughter, but I then get Story Teller "Block" if I quit telling stories for a few weeks. Such campfire stories bring me back to when I was a young lad in scouts. Great lens!

    miss doing this. I've got great memories from this experience... 5*!
  • dewandlo Nov 23, 2007 @ 11:45 am | delete
    i think scary stories are fun to read, and to tell! my friends always freak out when I tell them a ghost story. My favorite stories are at the end when people yell out loud to scare others.
  • JimB Oct 18, 2007 @ 7:00 pm | delete
    What a great idea for a lens - and some wonderful resources for those of us who like to tell stories, either in print or in person :-) 5 starts for this one!

    I love the fact that you pulled all these classic campfire stories (and a lot I've never heard of) together in one place. I'm adding this to my http://www.squidoo.com/summerparenting/ lens.

    What a great idea about tossing sugar on the fire! I think I'll search for some other household items and add that info to campfire pyrotechnics. Thanks All Things Michigan!
  • AllThingsMichigan Apr 16, 2007 @ 1:12 pm | delete
    What a cool lens! I am adding you to my Camping in Michigan lens.

    Another cool thing to add to your campfire for the kiddies enjoyment - toss in a handful of granulated sugar and watch it spark and crackle. It's a miniature spark show.

    Wow, really great lens, I'm so happy to have found it! I feel totally inspired to go camping now.
