The Camping Trip

Lizardville Ghost Stories, Book 1

By: Steve Altier

Narrated by: Chas Mandela

Whether told around a campfire or with a storm raging outside, ghost stories aren’t always just stories.

When the power fails in the middle of a storm, Zack and Daniel turn to their father, John Malone, for comfort. Feeling that the boys are old enough to learn the truth about his childhood, John divulges a family secret, one he’s kept locked away, a secret that changed John’s life forever.

In a small Pennsylvania town called Lizardville, Johnny and his friends set out on a weekend camping trip along the banks of Big Fishing Creek. On the first night, as the boys gather around the campfire, Parker shares the legend of the Ax Factory murders. Soon after, strange, mysterious things begin to happen. Little do the boys realize, they have awakened a spirit called Annabelle. She is searching for something and knows the boys are hiding what she seeks. Could the secret lie in an old puzzle box?

As this spine-tingling, edge-of-your-seat adventure unfolds, one question remains: will they survive the weekend?
