The Bizarre Smiling Men - Jim Harold's Campfire 747

A family gathers after a funeral and a child reacts to someone no one else can see. A frequent flyer keeps running into bizarre strangers who seem to know him across different places and years. A quiet house carries a lullaby in the dark, and it may not be meant for the living. Familiar moments slowly shift into something off balance as comfort and unease sit side by side. You will also hear about a call that arrives long after someone is gone, warnings that come as a simple feeling not to go, and a childhood sighting in the sky that never found an explanation. Some encounters feel protective, others deeply unsettling, but all leave lingering questions about what lies beyond the Campfire.

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.

Going downhill fast

I’ve been a listener for many years, listened to the whole backlog before it got stuck behind a paywall. In the last few months it seems like every single caller is talking about their religious beliefs, specifically Christian, and that is getting old very quickly. It is off-putting and repetitive, making for a very dull listening experience. Sorry to say I’ll likely be unsubscribing soon. I don’t care that people have spiritual beliefs, everyone has their own system and that’s lovely. But this was not intended to be a religious-focused show and it has become that way.
Cool

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.
