A caller shares a chilling roadside legend about a phantom haunting the Oregon coast, while another describes coming face to face with something so dark it looked like a hole cut out of the universe. Another tells of a series of dreams that seemed to predict real-life events long before they happened. We hear a moving story about a horse whose spirit may still be watching over its owner, a supernatural collectible, and UFO encounters from the skies over the U.K. Together, these true tales show that the unexplained doesn't go on vacation after Halloween.

We start with a chilling tale of a childhood spent in a house that refused to rest quietly. From trembling beds to shadowed visitors, this story reminds us that sometimes the past doesn't stay buried within old walls. Then, we journey across the pond for a museum visit that turns unexpectedly dark, where centuries-old stone seems to hold on to more than just history. From haunted homes to spectral pets, unnerving dreams, and even a strange sight in the skies, tonight's callers deliver a full spectrum of the unexplained. Whether it's something that reaches from beyond—or a mystery written into time itself—you'll be left wondering what truly lingers in the places we think we know. Stay spooky and settle in for another unforgettable night around the Campfire. BETTERHELP This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try.

In this Halloween Special of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with the legendary Jim Harold — the original paranormal podcaster and host of Jim Harold's Campfire. With over 20 years in the business and millions of listeners worldwide, Jim shares how a lifelong fascination with the unexplained became one of the most successful independent podcasting careers in history. Together, they explore what it means to believe, the power of storytelling, and why people from every corner of the world are still drawn to share their mysterious, unexplainable experiences.From ghosts and cryptids to UFOs and the mysteries of consciousness itself, this conversation goes far beyond the paranormal. Jim opens up about the lessons learned from two decades behind the mic, the evolving podcasting industry, and his belief that “the universe is not only stranger than we understand — it's stranger than we can understand.” A powerful, reflective, and fittingly eerie episode that reminds us curiosity is what keeps the human spirit alive.Key Takeaways:1. Belief doesn't require proof, and you can respect skepticism while still leaving room for mystery and wonder.2. The power of storytelling connects us across generations, cultures, and beliefs more deeply than facts ever could.3. Authenticity builds longevity; being real and consistent is what sustains a creative career.4. Curiosity fuels creativity and keeps your content fresh and engaging.5. Respect your guests' truth; empathy creates more meaningful conversations than confrontation.6. Persistence beats perfection, and consistency over time creates lasting success.7. Follow your fascination because what genuinely interests you often becomes your greatest work.8. Podcasting is about community, not celebrity; shared stories build loyalty and impact.9. The unknown keeps us humble and open to growth by reminding us how little we truly know.10. Legacy is built through consistency, showing up again and again until your work speaks for itself.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

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.

Why do we slow down to stare at accidents, binge horror movies, or devour true crime podcasts? What draws us toward the dark and disturbing even when it frightens us? To explore this fascinating question, I'm joined by Dr. Colton Scrivner, a behavioral scientist and the world's leading expert on morbid curiosity. His new book, Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can't Look Away, digs into the psychology behind our obsession with danger, horror, and the macabre. We discuss: Why our brains are wired to pay attention to danger How horror movies and haunted houses safely feed our fears Why true crime is especially popular with women The evolutionary roots of fear — and how morbid curiosity can actually help us Morbidly Curious releases October 7, 2025, wherever you buy books.

Spooky season kicks off in style! Jim Harold welcomes back author, storyteller, and podcaster Jeff Belanger to celebrate the release of his brand-new book Wicked Strange: Your Guide to Ghosts, Monsters, Oddities, and Urban Legends from New England. Jeff shares why New England may be America's most haunted region, the importance of local legends, and how stories from cemeteries, roadside oddities, and even a legend of “satanic imps” have shaped the culture of the region. You'll also hear about his friendship with Ed & Lorraine Warren, the White Lady of Easton, and how his podcast New England Legends helped inspire the book. Along the way, Jim and Jeff swap eerie experiences about interviewing people just before they passed away, the role of storytelling in grappling with death and the unknown, and why legends matter more than ever in our information-overloaded world. This is a wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and spooky conversation. It's perfect for the start of Halloween season.

Bigfoot has been part of American folklore for decades, but what do we really know about the creature and the people who search for it? On this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim Harold sits down with journalist and author John O'Connor, whose new book The Secret History of Bigfoot: Field Notes on a North American Monster explores not just the mystery of Sasquatch, but the culture of those who dedicate their lives to finding it. John shares his experiences traveling across the country, from the Pacific Northwest to the forests of Kentucky and beyond, meeting Bigfooters of all kinds. Along the way, he uncovers: Why he, as a serious journalist, decided to take Bigfoot seriously. The surprising diversity of belief within the Bigfoot community, from “flesh and blood” researchers to the more mystical “woo” camp. What the Patterson–Gimlin film still tells us, and doesn't, about the possibility of Bigfoot's existence. How his encounters with witnesses and searchers reshaped his own views on belief, mystery, and the human need for wonder. John also reflects on how Bigfoot represents something larger than footprints and blurry photos. It is a reminder of our connection to wild places and the enduring power of belief in the unexplained. If you've ever wondered why this legend refuses to fade, or what drives people to spend weekends in the woods chasing shadows, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the enduring mystery of Bigfoot. You can find his book at Amazon: https://amzn.to/4mZCMrT Thanks John! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In tonight's dead letter listener Henry, a marine, recounts his experiences on guard duty in Iraq, where his platoon was stationed at an abandoned hotel near the Jordanian border. During a late-night watch, he and another marine hear footsteps in the stairwell, but a search of the building yields nothing but an unsettling encounter with glowing eyes in the boiler room.

In tonight's dead letter… Josh shares a chilling encounter with a being we've discussed on the show numerous times. The Hat Man. For Josh he appears as a shadowy figure sitting in his bedroom in the middle of the night. What would you do in this situation? It's easy to answer that until you're confronted with it yourself. Josh gave into paranormal apathy, something we've identified at Astonishing Legends as a common reaction to the unexplainable.

What if near-death experiences didn't begin in the modern age — but were happening thousands of years ago across the world? In this fascinating episode, Jim Harold is joined by Dr. Gregory Shushan, the leading expert on near-death experiences in ancient civilizations. Drawing on texts from ancient Egypt, India, China, Mesoamerica, and beyond, Dr. Shushan reveals striking similarities between modern NDEs and accounts recorded centuries — even millennia — ago. Together, they explore what these ancient experiences might tell us about the origins of afterlife beliefs, how different cultures interpreted “coming back from the dead,” and why these timeless stories challenge long-held assumptions about death and consciousness. Whether you're a seasoned explorer of the paranormal or new to the subject, this conversation offers profound insights into one of humanity's greatest mysteries. You can find Dr. Shushan's latest book, Near Death Experience In Ancient Civilizations, at Amazon: https://amzn.to/436Vd5u AMAZON: Jim is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and the Amazon Influencer Program.
