Jim Harold's Campfire

Things get dark, strange, and downright chilling on this episode. A man recounts a terrifying childhood encounter in a newly built home where something far more sinister than a creaky floorboard made its presence known. His father never forgot what happened there and neither will you. We’ll also hear from a UK listener whose shared dream with her brother defies logic, a Tennessee mom whose peaceful morning turns unsettling, and a young woman who may have glimpsed something impossible.

But the weirdness doesn’t stop there. From an eerie roadside figure glowing in the night, to mysterious green hands emerging from the shadows these stories will keep you thinking long after the fire burns out. True tales, real people, and unexplained experiences all on this week’s Campfire.

A family moves into a newly built home only to discover something is already there — and it’s not going anywhere. A dreamlike run turns into something unforgettable when a listener encounters a presence from her past.

A pair of UFO sightings—one at sea and one on the beach—leave witnesses wondering who or what is really out there. A haunted furniture store stirs up unusual activity that even drives away customers. And an unsettling voice in the night leads to a chilling series of events for one listener.

Compelling, true stories shared by the people who lived them. It’s what Campfire is all about.
