Not About Camp
Summary
The host concludes Camp Weeping Cedars by addressing the disturbing rise of fans mocking local tragedies through rituals and cosplay. She recounts a personal incident where she unknowingly drew a screaming girl in a camp shirt, which mirrored shared nightmares experienced by former campers on the same night. Frustrated by the exploitation of real trauma for entertainment, she urges listeners to stop treating the town’s history as fiction. Consequently, she announces this will likely be the final episode of the podcast.
