The oral tradition. These stories are passed down from person to person, often getting more terrifying with each retelling. As they are shared around the campfire, the storyteller's voice, the crackling of the fire, and the expressions on the faces of those listening all contribute to making the story feel more real and, therefore, more chilling.
The setting. Camps are often in isolated areas like the woods or mountains. The darkness and the unknown of the surrounding wilderness add to the fear factor. When you hear a scary story in such a setting, your mind starts to imagine all kinds of terrors lurking in the shadows just outside the campfire's glow.
The mystery. Most old camp fire scary stories have elements that can't be easily explained. For example, the appearance of a ghostly figure or strange noises that seem to come from nowhere. There's no scientific explanation within the context of the story, and that leaves a lot of room for our imagination to run wild and create a sense of dread.
