In this True Crime Sleep Stories bonus episode, host Kelli shares a real, personal mystery she first told on The Disclosure Lounge podcast.

On a pitch-black "Black Moon" night in August 2025, while tent camping alone along a river, something intelligent moved through the darkness—circling, watching, making deliberate sounds that still haunt me months later.

Was it Bigfoot? Something otherworldly? A prankster? Or simply the woods playing tricks?

No real crime in this episode, just the slow, primal build of unease that lingers long after the story ends.

Close your eyes… breathe deep… and drift into the night with me.

Sweet dreams. 🌑
