A school should be empty before the year begins, but one teacher keeps hearing things that suggest otherwise. Elsewhere, a piano starts playing at an ungodly hour, but the obvious explanation doesn’t quite hold up. Then a nighttime walk through Salem takes a darker turn. And in Southern California, a huge unexplained craft hangs over a busy freeway in plain sight, but what may be strangest is how everyone else seems to react. It’s a Campfire full of eerie sounds, uncanny encounters, and those moments when the world suddenly feels a little less ordinary. --CHECK OUT ALL OF JIM’S FREE PODCASTS Jim Harold's Campfire - Real people share real stories of paranormal encounters.The Paranormal Report - Our weekly paranormal show with Jim & Dar Harold.The Paranormal Podcast - The longest running paranormal podcast on the internet.

Sometimes the strangest encounters begin with nothing more than a feeling that something isn’t quite right. In this episode, ordinary places take on a very different atmosphere as listeners find themselves facing experiences they can’t easily explain. From an unsettling hotel stay to a bizarre late-night encounter in a familiar park, these are the kinds of stories that are unforgettable. We hear a moving story about a loved one near the end of his life who saw special visitors. Then there’s a haunted doll, a strange set of keys, and a chilling encounter with the “little people.” It’s a Campfire full of eerie moments, strange coincidences, and experiences that leave you wondering how much of the world around us we really understand. --CHECK OUT ALL OF JIM’S FREE PODCASTS Jim Harold's Campfire - Real people share real stories of paranormal encounters.The Paranormal Report - Our weekly paranormal show with Jim & Dar Harold.The Paranormal Podcast - The longest running paranormal podcast on the internet.

This week’s Campfire gets strange in a hurry. A lifelong experiencer describes a terrifying nighttime encounter that became much harder to dismiss when her daughter independently described something eerily similar the next morning. We visit a house where shadows in doorways were almost routine. A glowing green figures, and a family dog seems to do the impossible. It’s an episode that leaves you wondering about how coincidence, memory, and the paranormal overlap in ways we still don’t understand. -- CHECK OUT ALL OF JIM’S FREE PODCASTS Jim Harold's Campfire - Real people share real stories of paranormal encounters.
