Why Do We Tell Stories Around Campfires?

People tell stories around campfires because it feels like magic. When the fire glows and the night is quiet, stories feel alive. It’s like playing a game, everyone listens, and even the wind seems to wait for the next word. The fire makes our voices bigger, and the dark helps us imagine everything better. Around campfires, stories are not just told, they come to life.
