Supernatural Signs of Love: A Valentine's Campfire

Love 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.

Nightmares

Theresa Cheung returns to explore the powerful world of dreams. She talks about why she delved into world of fiction, how the story in her debut novel, NightBorn, weaves real dream-work principles into a fast-paced plot, and why readers are reporting unusually vivid dream recall just from seeing the cover. Theresa also breaks down how dreams function as symbolic messages, why nightmares can be useful, and how precognitive dreams show up in everyday life more often than people realize. Theresa explains how creative minds have long used the liminal dream state for problem-solving and imagination, then offers insight into Jim’s recurring “old boss” nightmare and what it might mean. It's a grounded, insightful conversation about the inner world we visit every night.

Is The Paranormal Messing With Us?

Joshua Cutchin joins us for a conversation that heads straight into one of the most uncomfortable questions in the paranormal. Is this stuff simply happening around us, or does it sometimes feel like it’s reacting to us? From UFOs that change with the times to fairies, trickster figures, and high strangeness that refuses to fit in a neat box, we dig into the idea that the phenomenon may adapt to our beliefs, culture, and expectations. We talk about fictional characters appearing in real life, the Philip Experiment, thought forms, retrocausality, and why so many experiences seem oddly playful, absurd, or unsettling. There are no easy answers here, but plenty to think about, as we explore whether the paranormal is just being observed… or if it might actually be messing with us.

Krampus Is Only the Beginning: Dark Christmas Lore

Historian and author Tim Rayborn joins us for a deep look into the strange, frightening and often forgotten legends that live beneath the surface of the holiday season. From the rise of Krampus to centuries-old tales of winter demons, ghostly intruders and night-stalking creatures, Tim walks us through the darker side of Christmas tradition and what these stories reveal about survival, morality and the human imagination. We discuss how frightening folklore once served as teaching tools, why these tales flourished in cold, pre-industrial winters, and the surprising ritual of leaving food or clothing to avoid becoming a monster’s next target. We also explore how Victorian ghost stories became a firmly rooted seasonal tradition, why The Nutcracker was once much more unsettling than the ballet we know today, and how cultures outside Europe developed their own chilling winter rituals. Tim shares his favorite creatures, the most shocking tales he uncovered, and how modern culture has reshaped these old fears into festivals, parades and pop-culture icons. If you thought Christmas was all candles and comfort, this conversation may change the way you see December forever.

Her House Became Haunted

A longtime homeowner starts noticing small things that don’t add up, the kind of quiet disturbances that make you wonder what changed after years of normal life. That moment sets the tone for a run of stories that move between the unsettling and the strangely comforting, from unexpected visitors during medical emergencies to eerie late–night moments in the wilderness. You’ll also hear about shared dreams that line up a little too well, old houses that seem to hold on to more than memories, and people who find themselves face to face with something they can’t quite explain. Settle in as callers try to make sense of the moments that stayed with them long after the lights came back on. It's all on this episode of Jim Harold's Campfire!

Ghosts, Spirits, and Folklore of Japan

Kevin O’Shea, host of Supernatural Japan, joins us for a fascinating look at how the paranormal is woven into everyday life in Japanese culture. Note: If you are watching the video version, you may notice some brief video glitches on our guest’s side at the very beginning of this interview. His audio is clear throughout, and the video stabilizes eventually. Thanks for sticking with us. Kevin shares how his journey from folklore-loving Canadian to longtime resident of Japan opened his eyes to a worldview where spirits, ancestors, and unseen forces are not fringe ideas but part of the social fabric. From Shinto beliefs and nature spirits to seasonal traditions surrounding the dead, this conversation explores how a technologically advanced society has held onto deeply rooted supernatural traditions.

The TRUTH About Ouija

Ouija expert Karen A. Dahlman joins Jim to explore the mysteries of the Ouija board. Karen shares the fascinating origins of the board, from its 19th-century spiritualist roots to its rise as a pop culture icon. She explains why she feels the Ouija itself isn’t dangerous, and discusses how she’s used it for decades as a tool for channeling and self-discovery. Karen also sheds light on the board’s misunderstood reputation, the story of William Fuld, and what she’s learned from years of communication with spirit guides and animals alike. Whether you view the Ouija as a game, a gateway, or something in between, this episode offers an informed and fascinating perspective.
