  • Gone downhill

    Love this podcast and have for a long time, but now you have to pay for all previous episodes, removes a lot of the fan base who can’t afford the monthly amount so now unable to listen to any other than the odd new one

  • I’ve listened off and on for years

    I’ve listened off and on to Jim Harold for over 10 years and think it has to be one of the worst podcasts. The callers and their stories are great but Jim himself is horrible. He does not contribute anything meaningful to the conversation and constantly cuts the caller off. There are other podcast hosts who are better and the callers should support them instead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Entity Attacked Me - Jim Harold's Campfire 764
Q: What did you think the presence was doing in the bedroom?
The guest described an overwhelming sense of evil and a physical hold, with the dog and sister-in-law reacting, suggesting a tangible but unseen being rather than mere sleep paralysis or imagination.
Haunted By A Shadow Figure - Jim Harold's Campfire 729
Q: Did it start after the mirror?
Yes, it likely started soon after the mirror was placed in the house.
Worse Than A Ghost - Jim Harold's Campfire 718
Q: Do you think it's possible they didn't recognize you because you were older?
It's possible, but I'd like to think that I could recognize their faces.
Haunted By A Djinn - Jim Harold's Campfire 716
Q: Do you think it was maybe like a time slip where you got a glimpse into another time?
Tiffany muses that recalling the experience now, a time slip makes more sense because the figure was focused and did not acknowledge their presence.
Terrifying Night At The Myrtles - Jim Harold's Campfire 709
Q: Do you think it's from the butcher shop? Do you think it goes way back before that? What do you think?
I think it probably goes back before that.
