Shadow Man

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. NEWSLETTERGet Jim’s weekly free newsletter and a free Campfire ebook at the same time.

Night of Terror

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.

Haunted Summer Camp --- Jim Harold's Campfire 740

A summer camp filled with unseen laughter. A hospital where night shifts bring encounters no one can chart. A family home that feels heavier the higher you climb. This Campfire episode moves through places where something lingers after lights go out, footsteps echo without a source, and ordinary locations take on an unsettling second life. From playful disturbances to moments that stop people cold in their tracks, these stories blur the line between comforting and deeply unnerving. These stories will stay with you long after the fire burns low.

The actual people tell their own stories. No one reading stories and trying to dramatize them. Real people who sound natural. Jim does a good job relaxing them.
