Jim Harold's Campfire

If you’re a fan of the show-my review is it’s a must-listen. The host brings a perfect blend of skepticism and curiosity, creating an engaging space where real-life ghost encounters are explored thoughtfully and respectfully. Each episode offers a chilling mix of firsth and accounts, historical context, and insightful commentary that leaves you questioning what might be lurking just beyond our understanding. The storytelling is compelling, and the host’s voice is both calming and captivating—making even the scariest tales feel approachable. Whether you’re a believer or just intrigued by the unexplained, this podcast strikes the right balance between entertainment and eerie fascination.

This is a very good podcast and is usually entertaining. I feel sometimes like there are too many heartwarming stories or too many dream stories or like “my grandpa died and then I saw a flower later that day, and I knew it was him” kind of stories. I understand that sometimes people have deep and meaningful Experiences after a loved one has died, but when I’m coming to a podcast for ghost stories, I’m looking for something a little bit spookier. I skip a lot of the “heart warming” stories.

Maybe 10% of the stories are interesting…the rest just leave you rolling your eyes. I think this host is far too focused on quantity than quality…it’s like listening to your most boring, self-centered coworker drone on and on with some of these narrations. The host is good, he really is, and asks really good questions. It’s just that he’s handed a microphone to too many people who really have nothing to say. There’s also quite a bit of self promotion, but I guess that’s to be expected. In short-edit, man! The show would be so much better.

I found out about this podcast while listening to Jim Harold’s show, The Paranormal Podcast and now I love them both! Jim is an engaging, respectful and entertaining host, and the stories that are told are fascinating!
