Not everything that visits in the night comes through the door. We open with a chilling case of sleep paralysis involving shadowy figures, unseen forces, and encounters at the bedside that raise the question of what walks beside us when we slumber. From there, the stories expand into a wider tapestry of strangeness, from out-of-body experiences to uncanny glimpses of another time and place.

Listeners will also hear about objects moving on their own, electronics behaving with impossible timing, signs from passed loved ones, and even an angelic figure arriving when hope felt thin. Some moments are frightening, others awe-filled, and all of them suggest that the world is stranger and more layered than it appears. Settle in and decide for yourself what’s real, what’s mystery, and what might be waiting just beyond the edge of sleep. Stay Spooky.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We start with a chilling tale of a childhood spent in a house that refused to rest quietly. From trembling beds to shadowed visitors, this story reminds us that sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried within old walls. Then, we journey across the pond for a museum visit that turns unexpectedly dark, where centuries-old stone seems to hold on to more than just history.

From haunted homes to spectral pets, unnerving dreams, and even a strange sight in the skies, tonight’s callers deliver a full spectrum of the unexplained. Whether it’s something that reaches from beyond—or a mystery written into time itself—you’ll be left wondering what truly lingers in the places we think we know. Stay spooky and settle in for another unforgettable night around the Campfire.

Sometimes the other side listens.

In our lead story, a listener dares to speak directly to the spirit of a departed loved one, and what follows will leave you wondering what truly lingers behind closed doors. From there, we travel deep into the Ohio woods where a group of kids discovers something they were never meant to find.

Then, a family heirloom meant for play becomes something far darker in a tale that will make you think twice about keeping old toys in the house. Later, a couple’s weekend getaway at a picturesque castle resort turns into a night of unexplainable noises and ghostly company.

These are the stories that remind us that sometimes the veil between worlds doesn’t just whisper. It answers back.

Listen, if you dare, to true stories from real people on Jim Harold’s Campfire.

Something strange waits in the daylight this week. Our first storyteller shares an encounter on a busy city street that starts ordinary but takes a sharp turn into nightmare territory. What she saw—and the way it looked back—will stay with you long after the episode ends.

From there, the calls keep coming: moments that blur the line between coincidence and the supernatural, where comfort meets the uncanny and ordinary days turn inexplicably dark. It’s another night of true stories from real people, and every one of them reminds us that the world is far stranger than it seems.
