  • Terrible news

    This show was the gold standard. Was fantastic. Went downhill and then went back.

    It’s now silly again. Monsters among us is better.

    Jim is a great podcaster.

    Your show just stinks now. Too silly and fake.

  • 😮😮😮

    I used to love this podcast, and I appreciated the content quality as well as listening to people who could actually string sentences together. I don’t know what’s going on now, and I hope Jim and team are okay and it’s not a larger life issue, but this podcast is cheesy, lackluster, and full of too many eye-rolling stories about dreams and dead pets. I used to get chills listening to this podcast, and now I find myself fast-forwarding through most of the stories. I’m also sick of Jim telling th... more

  • What happened?

    I have been a listener from the start and had to take some time away, but when I came back every single episode, I have to pay for what in the world happened to this podcast. Sorry I know people gotta make money by doing this, but I’m not gonna pay for every single podcast one basically I can listen to the same story he’s telling by somebody else just in their way of telling it on a free podcast just kind of sad that I took a break and I come back, and everything has changed

    Half these “stories” are just people missing loved ones and looking for any connection.. and alot of fluff. And these “subscriber only” episodes aren’t anything special or worth buying..

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.

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.
