    Chilling
    Something about what Erin described in the latest episode reminds me of the Kohberger case are they sure it wasn’t a real person?

    THE OG OF ALL PARANORMAL PODCASTERS STILL #1 IN MY BOOK
    Nobody doesn’t like Jim Harold, and his team all these new podcasts trying to be like Jim unfortunately are OK. Jim is the number one best. He started it all and he’ll stay #1 in my book. The voice the genuine connection he has with all callers and interviews he does. His Overall vibe is warm and comforting yet “spooky” at the same time . Im creeped out yet still feel safe while listing to his podcast and voice and reassurance of how we all feel is so special. Thank you Jim and team for all you do and continue to do.

    I love Jim so much!
    I found out about this show from “Somewhere in the Skies” and I gave this show a listen. I had to subscribe because I loved it so much. You get so much content if you subscribe. I love how respectful Jim is to all his guests. His voice is so great too. Everything about this is amazing. I have two favorite podcasts and this is one of them. Thanks Jim!

    Jim is the 🐐
    This show should be given to children in school to help them learn all the fineries of the ghost story. Jim is an absolute gent and a hardworking legend who needs to be recognized!!! If I could rate 50 stars I would

    Enjoy listening but don’t like rushing people
    I like the podcast but I hate how when someone’s telling a story, especially the interesting ones, he starts rushing people to finish and cuts them off or acts like he’s done listening. It’s kind of awkward and kind of ruins the end of the story sometimes. We want to hear the good stories, don’t rush them off! Other than that, I enjoy the podcast and the variety of stories.

    An instant campfire classic
    Every Friday (or Thursday evening), I look forward to this show popping up in my podcast feed. I enjoy hearing from everyday people with spooky paranormal stories. Don’t you dare change the length of the podcast. I could listen to ten hours of campfire stories if you had it. The books and the spooky, mysterious campfire classics are all fantastic. The only thing I can’t listen to is Jim sipping, slurping, or chewing during the commercial breaks. It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. Other than that, I absolutely love the show.
  • Vicca Storm
    Subscribers only
    They’re not really giving me the opportunity to decide if I like it or not without paying. I don’t want to start the show with the newest episode and there’s only about 6 of the newest episodes that aren’t only for subscribers. I will get on a Patreon IF I like something, but it’s going to take more than your six most curated episodes to help me decide that. Pass.
  • Kabman1009
    Good program that used to be great
    Please please please. No more callers recounting their dreams.
  • TempeToxic
    Maybe Shorter Show
    Love the show. Jim is great. I wouldn’t mind having it be a little shorter, though, with less filler stories. There are some really stellar stories. I’d rather have 3 to 5 great stories than maybe 8 or so with some that aren’t as interesting. But Jim is still the best. Love him and love the show. Hope it’s around for a long, long time.
  • CMW051992
    Jim, I hope you’re ok
    Lately Jim sounds so burnt out. I can’t even imagine how exhausting and repetitive this job gets. It’s probably not very financially rewarding either. I sense he’s counting down the days until he no longer has to do this show.

    More Gas Pedal, Jim
    I’ve been listening to the CampFire since ~2015. Obviously, I like the show and actually called in one time to share a story. If you listen to this show regularly enough you’ll be treated to some pretty wild tales. There are a few stories I’ve heard over the years that have absolutely stuck with me. That being said, I wish that Jim and the team would be a little more discerning in the stories they choose to air. There are way too many callers phoning-in with some of the most milquetoast, lukewarm stories about a dreams and other subjective junk that wouldn’t pass the smell-test with my 4yo. I’d prefer to listen to a show with only 36 minutes of good content in a given week than a 1.5-hour episode with 4 stories about some lady who saw a bird the day after her mom passed away (spoiler alert: her mom loved birds or something).
  • GabbyF.
    Great paranormal show
    One of the best paranormal podcasts out there!
  • Jarshush
    Really????
    Very disappointing
  • Angie Christensen
    Best Ghost Story Podcast That Exists
    Jim Harold is the real deal! This is by far the best podcast for spooky stories year round. Thanks Jim!!

    What more can I say? Thanks, Jim!

    Been listening to this podcast since I was around 13, I’m now 20 and here I am still! The only thing I’m sad about is the fact that the archives are subscriber only now, and starting at episodes so recently back- but everybody’s got to feed their family!
  • 7CentsVern
    No more people recounting their dreams
    I really like your show, but please stop it with the nonsense of people talking about their dreams. It’s dredge and it’s making it unlistenable.
  • sisterhazel
    New listener
    I am new to the podcast but so far I love it. Got tired of listening to true crime as it began to depress me and I did not come out of the depression when I turned off the podcast. Switched to ghost stories and then I found Jim Harold. His stories are a nice mix of sad, funny and uplifting.This is my favorite new podcast! Thank’s Jim.

    Going Downhill Fast
    The stories on this podcast used to be great. Now, unfortunately, 90% of them are some sob story about a family member that has passed away. Show has become unbearable to listen to.
  • what pf
    I love it also could you tell you one of mine
    I love how you discuss about it with the person and try to understand them then say what you think but don’t say they are wrong but ya that’s so cool :)
  • dugnponyshow
    love it.
    Jim Harold’s Campfire podcast is always a joy to listen to. Harold provides a friendly voice across the internet as did his predecessor Casey Kasem welcoming listeners in each week to the Top 40 Countdown all those years before. Thank you Jim and the entire team for all you provide… and on with the spooky countdown.

    Going downhill fast
    Used to love this podcast, but it has been on the decline for months. If there are ten stories, nine will be from a middle aged woman talking about her mean grandfather visiting her in dreams. The tenth will be another middle aged woman finding her mothers ring in a box. Seriously.
  • notanickname-it'sjustme
    Thanks to Coast2Coast
    Didn’t know about this podcast until I heard Jim Harold as a guest on the latest Coast to Coast. Liked what I heard, so found his Campfire pod and subscribed right away. Like his voice, his overall manner, and the caller’s stories.
  • AshD505702
    Interesting listen
    I’ve been listening since 2013. There are some really spooky stories in here! Also some boring rambling ones but overall fun!
  • LindseyPhilly
    Long time listener
    Plus club member and listener since the beginning! I love Jim and all of his podcasts.
  • CareySmith777
    The best
    Jim thank you for giving a platform for all the spooky stories! Love your show!

    Gone down hill
    This used to be one of my favorite podcasts to listen to while I go to sleep. Since 2013, it’s gone completely downhill. Weird high energy, not spooky, and the dumbest callers. Do you want to listen to the same 10 people talk to Jim about the weird dreams they had last week? Do you want someone to give a description of how a crow landed on their roof and this must be their dead grandma/father/mother? And sleep paralysis where people see a hat man? If not, I just saved you a decade of content. The shows pre-2014 are excellent. Why? Bc Jim didn’t need “filler” content and could be selective with using the best content. Now, he’s struggling for quality content on a tight timeline and putting everyone on the show, even fakes. (And if I hear that roadhouse saloon story one more time…. like how many times? 30? And the same story was on spooked told completely different, so something is up on the “facts.”) I’ve been listening since 2009, and before that on the paranormal podcast since 2005. Plus club member and all. I’m canceling my subscription and moving on. You should do the same. It’s sad, but this is nearly the same price as Netflix.
  • Hawaiigirl1978
    Jim is the best
    Been listening for years, Jim is always entertaining and asks great questions. Thanks Jim!
  • Shai2100
    My favorite podcasts for spooky stories!
    The guest stories are a good mix and Jim does a great job asking follow up questions. I’m a plus club member and the archives for this podcast alone make it worth its weight in gold. Can’t say anyone loves ads, but at least these are well placed (and it is a business after all).
  • chefjannes
    True professional
    Stories from all over the planet from cryptids to ghosts, ufo’s, big foot etc. Enjoy Jims smooth voice and creepy stories from real people!
  • Sonicninja1
    Love the stories
    I just love all the different personal stories, I just wish that Jim would coach the speakers not to use the word “um”. It’s very hard to listen to what seems like a great story, but when every other word is “ um”, I just skip to the next story.
  • ATXPodcastAddict
    My ghostly entertainment
    As a person with a deep appreciation for the paranormal, I love the volume and care of the personal stories shared around the campfire!
  • ginnydc
    I love it! Every Thursday I get excited that it’s time for a new show! Silly but true!
    My most favorite podcast! Thank you, Jim Harold…Stay Spooky
  • SarahSarah21
    So awesome!
    Been listening for over a year. Really love this show.
  • EFpatter123@
    Jim is the GOAT
    This podcast is a classic for a reason!! If you like paranormal stories, you must listen and you’ll portably get hooked and join the plus club like me. I listen to many spooky pods, but this one is by far my favorite! Thanks for what you do Jim 😀
  • Catlovecat
    Awesome Podcast!
    I listen to Jim’s podcast every morning on my way to work. I love listening to his guests and their incredible stories. One of my favorite podcasts.
  • Nicc878
    Jim is the OG of paranormal podcasts!
    He has great guests, and I never miss an episode. And, I got to be on one!
  • SassyNYC123
    Audio quality of guests calls
    Audio quality of guests calls is horrible.

    Enjoying the stories
    I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. However, I’m unable to give it 5 stars because as a paying subscriber, I never anticipated having to listen to lengthy ads throughout the episode. All the other podcasts I pay for have the benefit of no ads for the cost of membership. Disappointing and annoying.
  • tj5763468532
    To much about $
    Great show if you can fast forward on the parts he’s trying to get your $
  • LBL444
    Too expensive for podcasts
    This is a new discovery and I absolutely adore it. BUT only having a few episodes for free, and charging $7.99/month for the rest, is absolutely ridiculous. A lot of people can’t afford it! Not fair and not cool. So disappointed
  • Plantbasedchica
    Great stories!
    I love this podcast! Not only is Jim a friendly voice to listen to but also all the stories that people share here are just so good!!! Coming from a family that has experienced lots of encounters with ghosts etc it is makes me feel just like home!
  • kidlearner
    Spooky!
    I love hearing listener stories. Jim is great!
  • K.Ash802
    Love sitting by Jim’s Campfire!
    Thanks Jim!
  • MegMo827
    One episode had me hooked
    This podcast feels like a warm hug. Tales told by the experiencer with a gracious host. We call him “Uncle Jim” around here. One episode and I instantly became a plus club subscriber and have been a daily listener for months. If you’re looking for a good mix of ghost stories and more.. subscribe now! Thanks Jim!
  • The Lalavet
    Great podcast
    I love listening to Jim and his guests nightly. I’ve been listening for several years now. Highly recommend the show!
  • iamspeedracer
    What?
    Why did this suddenly become a money grab? $7.99 is insane when there is so much similar content in the podcastverse. I just don’t see the value. I can get Discovery Plus, with hundreds of shows, for less!
