Summary

Movie night takes on a life of its own when a familiar horror icon seems to appear far outside the TV screen, and that’s just the start of the strangeness on this week’s Campfire. APPLE PODCAST DIRECT PLUS MEMBERS: We are having technical difficulty posting the ad-free version for PLUS members. We hope to have it posted within the next several hours and apologize for any inconvenience. From a quiet presence that may have been watching over a young family to a treasured object that seems to return at exactly the right moment, these stories walk that fine line between comforting and deeply unsettling. We also hear about a flash of impossible light tied to a loved one’s memory, a bizarre book-related coincidence, an intense out-of-body experience, and a doppelganger sighting witnessed by more than one person. The episode wraps with a chilling visit to a Titanic exhibit where history, haunted objects, and the echoes of tragedy may have all collided in one very strange place. It’s a Campfire packed with the kind of stories that don’t end neatly, and end with a question mark not a period! STAY SPOOKY!
