Jim Harold's Campfire

A man looks back on a childhood encounter with a family he still can’t make sense of, a moment so strange it’s followed him for decades. Another story takes us into a quiet house where a girl suddenly realizes she’s standing right next to a shadowy figure that shouldn’t be there.

Elsewhere, the lines blur in more subtle ways. A mother describes an eerie moment where a dream seems to be shared with her young son, leaving her questioning whether they were really asleep at all.

You’ll hear stories that feel uncomfortably real and will keep you thinking after the Campfire is out.

A Ouija board session comes back a year later in a way that feels anything but random, another story involves and encounter with something tall, pale, and deeply unsettling. That's just the start of the spooky stories on this week's edition of Jim Harold's Campfire!

A late-night drive turns deeply unsettling at first, then terrifying.

You’ll also hear chilling teases of ghostly children, a haunted Victorian mansion, an eerie Ouija board experience, and encounters tied to old homes, and objects with a past. Real people telling real stories. It's a new year but still the same great Campfire experience to kick off 2026!
