Half Man, Half Ghost. Up next on the Campfire.

Sit back, relax and warm yourself by Jim Harold's Campfire.

On the line, we have Brittany from Canada.

I saw her nice setup there with the mic and the road pop filter and said,

ah, she must be a podcaster.

No, she's a singer.

So how cool is that?

And you can even tell in her speaking voice.

She has a very pleasant, pleasant voice.

But the point here today is not to talk about that,

but to talk about the story. And Brittany is going to tell us a story that surrounds her son and her dad.

And we're so glad to have her with us. She's been listening for a few years. Brittany, welcome to the show and tell us what happened.

Thank you, Jim. Yeah, so my son,

Declan, has always been pretty tapped in. It's been a real delight to see the world through his eyes in a spooky sort of way. And when my dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 24. Yeah, it seemed to almost ramp up. It started with him seeing

this kind of, he said there's a ghost at the end of the bed, and it was this woman figure

within days of dad getting diagnosed. That was the first time that it was really clear that

something was going on. But after my dad passed away, June 2025, Declan, it took him a little while

to understand because he was three. Sure, of course. So he was, yeah, he was just starting to kind of process it.

And in the like depth of his grief, there seemed to be something kind of special happen where,

I don't know, he woke up one morning at like 3 a.m., which is kind of the magic time, right?

And he was like, he was just crying. And so I went into his room and I said, okay, buddy, I got him settled. And I was like, I'm going to go downstairs. I got to grab a snack. I was hungry. And I was like, I'll come back up in a minute. So I went downstairs and I thought to myself, well, he's funny that he's so quiet.

Normally he'd be like, mama, you know.
