What makes actually scary campfire stories so effective?
They often involve elements that are relatable yet terrifying. For example, being alone in a spooky place like an old house or a deserted forest. These are places that we might encounter in real life, but in the stories, they are filled with ghosts or monsters. Also, the way they are told, with a hushed voice and in the dim light of the campfire, adds to the spookiness. It makes us feel like we are part of the story, and that the danger could be lurking just around the corner.
