Summary

Sometimes the other side listens. In our lead story, a listener dares to speak directly to the spirit of a departed loved one, and what follows will leave you wondering what truly lingers behind closed doors. From there, we travel deep into the Ohio woods where a group of kids discovers something they were never meant to find. Then, a family heirloom meant for play becomes something far darker in a tale that will make you think twice about keeping old toys in the house. Later, a couple’s weekend getaway at a picturesque castle resort turns into a night of unexplainable noises and ghostly company. These are the stories that remind us that sometimes the veil between worlds doesn’t just whisper. It answers back. Listen, if you dare, to true stories from real people on Jim Harold’s Campfire.

1:20.2	recent story. I grew up in Northeast Texas, which I had pointed out last time, and that's where my mom and
1:28.3	most of my family still live. The house my mom grew up in. It was built, I think, in the

1:40.6	wood paneling inside. In Northeast Texas, there's tons of like piney woods, and it's all made of this like really
1:46.8	dark pine wood inside.

1:57.4	Well, my brother and I, just to give you a little backstory, my brother and I are the only grandkids on that side of the family. So there were my grandparents, my mom, my uncle, and my brother and I. That was it. Cousins, we really didn't know that kind of thing or they lived far away. So when my grandparents passed away and my uncle passed away, my mom inherited the house and all the stuff that came with it.
