Voices That Weren't There - Jim Harold's Campfire 751
Mar 501:37:18Tap to summarizeIt started with a creaky floorboard in an otherwise ordinary house. At first it seems like the kind of thing you would expect in a place built decades ago. But over time, the little things start to add up. Keys disappear and are never found again. A recliner moves as if someone has just gotten out of it. One early morning, a dark figure appears partially hidden in a hallway doorway. And just before the family moves out, the witness hears what sounds like two young girls having a conversation in an empty part of the house. What begins as a few odd moments slowly becomes something much harder to explain. In this episode of Jim Harold’s Campfire, listeners share a variety of experiences that range from unsettling to deeply meaningful. One caller recounts a vivid dream that feels like a genuine visit from a beloved grandmother who passed years earlier. Another family deals with strange happenings in their kitchen where everyday items seem to vanish, reappear, or move when no one is around. As always, these real-life stories from listeners remind us that the unexplained often shows up quietly, in the middle of ordinary life. Stay spooky.

Living In A Haunted Penthouse - Jim Harold's Campfire 750
Feb 2601:36:42Tap to summarizeA haunted penthouse kicks things off, complete with strange visuals, unsettling sounds, and that creeping sense that something unseen has taken an interest. From there, we hear about a childhood encounter with what looked exactly like a parent but wasn't and a vivid dream that lined up perfectly with a family emergency miles away. These are the kinds of stories that do not just give you chills, they make you stop and think. Along the way, listeners share eerie apartment activity, a curious moment in a cemetery, an intense experience abroad, an unexplained disturbance connected to a famous rock band, and a touching sign from a beloved pet. Some of these stories are spooky, some are emotional, and all of them carry that classic Campfire mix of mystery, heart, and big question marks that linger long after the episode ends.

Supernatural Signs of Love: A Valentine's Campfire
Feb 1201:56:04Tap to summarizeLove stories with a strange twist. In this Valentine’s edition of Campfire, our experiencers share moments where relationships seemed guided by more than timing or luck. A prediction that didn’t make sense until years later, a dream that mirrored reality a little too perfectly, and encounters that kept happening in ways that felt...arranged by someone or something. What makes these stories linger is how ordinary they begin. A random invitation, a change of plans, a person you almost didn’t call. Then later you realize if even one small choice had gone differently, everything would have changed. Whether you believe in fate, intuition, or just a universe with a sense of humor, these experiences make you wonder how many relationships start long before we think they do.

The Bizarre Smiling Men - Jim Harold's Campfire 747
Feb 501:37:05Tap to summarizeA family gathers after a funeral and a child reacts to someone no one else can see. A frequent flyer keeps running into bizarre strangers who seem to know him across different places and years. A quiet house carries a lullaby in the dark, and it may not be meant for the living. Familiar moments slowly shift into something off balance as comfort and unease sit side by side. You will also hear about a call that arrives long after someone is gone, warnings that come as a simple feeling not to go, and a childhood sighting in the sky that never found an explanation. Some encounters feel protective, others deeply unsettling, but all leave lingering questions about what lies beyond the Campfire.
