Summary

A man looks back on a childhood encounter with a family he still can’t make sense of, a moment so strange it’s followed him for decades. Another story takes us into a quiet house where a girl suddenly realizes she’s standing right next to a shadowy figure that shouldn’t be there. Elsewhere, the lines blur in more subtle ways. A mother describes an eerie moment where a dream seems to be shared with her young son, leaving her questioning whether they were really asleep at all. You’ll hear stories that feel uncomfortably real and will keep you thinking after the Campfire is out. NEWSLETTERGet Jim’s weekly free newsletter and a free Campfire ebook at the same time.

Next up is Heather from California.

0:27.4

She's been listening since about COVID times, and so many people discovered the shows back then.

0:29.1

It just was, you know, a very sad time, but a lot of people were looking for something

0:35.9

to listen to and were grateful that many of them landed on the campfire, although the circumstances, my gosh, I wish that would have never happen for sure.

But we are glad that Heather is here.

sure she got straight-haste. Heather, welcome to the show. Tell us what happened.

1:00.7

Thanks, Jim. Yeah, so back in high school, it was probably around 94-95. I don't remember exactly,

1:08.5

but I was in a town that's above Sacramento. It's considered a gold

1:16.3

mining town. And there were some newer housing in both the north and south of town that was built

so not an old home.

1:38.3

And I was over there visiting her one time with another friend of hers.

And if I can just give you the layout of the home, you walk in, and the living rooms in front of you,

kitchen semi-open to the left. And then there's like a half-flight, so they had like a half half level up to the right. And first on the right

was her brother's room, then her room. And then the end of the little L-shaped hallway was the

bathroom there by her room. And then the other end of the long L was her mom's room. So for whatever reason, we had decided to sit in that hallway and
