The Cemetery Shadow Man

A cemetery worker sees something he cannot explain, and what follows may be one of the most haunting Campfire stories we’ve heard in a long time. In this episode, a shadowy figure appears in a graveyard, but the story takes a powerful turn when that figure seems to lead a procession of the dead. It is eerie, emotional, and unforgettable. From there, the strangeness keeps coming: a classroom mystery that feels like a crack in reality, unexplained knocks in the night, haunted buildings, Ouija board unease, and encounters that leave ordinary people questioning what they saw. These are the stories that make Campfire special, the ones that start quietly, pull you in, and stay with you after the episode is over.

Lady Ghost On The Road

More real paranormal stories from real people. There are eerie moments on the road, odd little signs that seem to show up at exactly the right time, and experiences that feel like more than coincidence. Some are spooky, some are surprisingly touching, and a few are just plain hard to explain. We’ll also hear about haunted places, vivid dreams, possible visits from loved ones, and encounters that leave everyone wondering what really happened. It is the kind of Campfire episode where the stories go in different directions, but they all have that same lingering feeling: maybe there is more going on around us than we realize. Also included is another apperance by Gary D In Canada.

She Saw The REAL Freddy Kreuger

Movie night takes on a life of its own when a familiar horror icon seems to appear far outside the TV screen, and that’s just the start of the strangeness on this week’s Campfire. APPLE PODCAST DIRECT PLUS MEMBERS: We are having technical difficulty posting the ad-free version for PLUS members. We hope to have it posted within the next several hours and apologize for any inconvenience. From a quiet presence that may have been watching over a young family to a treasured object that seems to return at exactly the right moment, these stories walk that fine line between comforting and deeply unsettling. We also hear about a flash of impossible light tied to a loved one’s memory, a bizarre book-related coincidence, an intense out-of-body experience, and a doppelganger sighting witnessed by more than one person. The episode wraps with a chilling visit to a Titanic exhibit where history, haunted objects, and the echoes of tragedy may have all collided in one very strange place. It’s a Campfire packed with the kind of stories that don’t end neatly, and end with a question mark not a period! STAY SPOOKY!

The Ghost Who Rode Shotgun

A haunted delivery route, a strange object in the Montana sky, a code word from beyond, and a chilling doppelgänger sighting all come together around the Campfire this week. These stories move from the deeply eerie to the strangely comforting, with moments that make you question whether the other side is closer than we think. We’ll also hear accounts of watchful spirits, impossible lights, signs from loved ones, and a goodbye from a beloved pet that feels far too meaningful to dismiss. It’s a wide-ranging episode full of those unsettling little details that stick with you long after the fire burns low. Stay Spooky!

Interesting and thank you for getting to the point

Interesting stories . Personally , there’s two ways to tell a story . A narrator telling it or interviewing a witness account. I enjoyed the way you interviewed the witness in a manner that captivated the listening audience . Thank you for getting to the point instead of long pleasantries and catch ups and reminiscing on social activities . I don’t mind a bit of light hearted approach but at least you don’t over do it and you literally get stuck into the story quickly 👍
Great content
