Jim Harold's Campfire

Show Notes

Sometimes the strangest experiences come with a sense that someone, or something, is watching or maybe watching out for us. In this episode of Campfire, a childhood home has a mysterious presence, while a wrong turn on the New York City subway leads to a dangerous late-night situation and the sudden appearance of two unforgettable strangers. Then there’s a bizarre Thanksgiving tale complete with the sound of shattering glass and a culinary first in the annals of Campfire.

Things take a darker turn in a park after midnight, when the desperate cries of a woman seem to move closer and closer. And that's only the start. It’s an episode full of guardians, echoes, synchronicities, and the kind of unexplained details that make you wonder whether coincidence is really enough of an explanation.
