Jim Harold's Campfire

Show Notes

Hat Man returns in a big way in multiple stories, and an old Victorian apartment hides an unsettling presence.

We also hear two remarkable experiences connected to September 11, including a disturbing dream and an unexplained light that left a lasting impression. Later, something equally baffling happens when a familiar neighborhood figure appears to do the impossible. It’s an episode full of strange timing, unsettling similarities, and those remarkable Campfire stories that leave you with far more questions than answers.

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.

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.
