Running Through the Dark: The Last Family Camping Trip

Creep Radio

The boundary between childhood imagination and supernatural reality blurs in this bone-chilling story that will make you think twice about dismissing your child's "imaginary" friends.
When a family of three embarks on their annual camping trip to Colt Creek State Park in Florida, they're redirected by an elderly, somewhat unsettling forest ranger to an isolated, "undeveloped" campsite away from other campers. Their five-year-old son PJ seems to settle in just fine—perhaps too fine, as he soon begins conversing with someone named "Billy" inside his tent.
At first, parents chalk it up to an active imagination fueled by campfire ghost stories. But as PJ reveals increasingly disturbing details about his new friend—that Billy is a ghost hiding from his ghostly father who murdered him—their concern deepens. The true terror arrives at 3 AM when the temperature drops inexplicably inside their tent and PJ wakes them in panic, insisting Billy's dad is coming. Moments later, a chilling, deranged voice calls through the darkness: "Billy, where are you, Billy?"
The family's desperate midnight escape through the woods is just the beginning of the nightmare. When they return later to collect their abandoned belongings, they discover something far more terrifying than anything they imagined: the campground has no record of an elderly ranger, and campsite LL376 doesn't exist—and never did.
Who guided them to that isolated spot in the woods? Was it merely a child's overactive imagination, or something far more sinister? Listen now to hear the full account of the family who made a solemn vow never to go camping again after their encounter with Billy and his dad.
