    I was so mad we have to pay but…
    The cool thing about subscribing to his show is you get access to like 10 other shows he does on aliens, cryptids etc. I cancelled one of my tv subscriptions just so I can subscribe and listen to his podcasts! They are great! I listen to more podcasts than watching tv. What a good deal!

    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.

    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.

    Interesting listen
    I’ve been listening since 2013. There are some really spooky stories in here! Also some boring rambling ones but overall fun!

    Long time listener
    Plus club member and listener since the beginning! I love Jim and all of his podcasts.

    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.

    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!

  • 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!
  • dani_daddy
    My favorite podcast!
    Jim is a great podcaster and a sincere guy! I have been listening since 2018 and I haven’t missed an episode. Love the podcast!!

    No Pay… No Play?
    If I’m going to pay to listen to content, it’s going to be something better than THsS: Like Monsters Among Us on Patreon.

    Some good, some bad
    I enjoy listening to this podcast; the stories are a lot of spooky fun. Jim is a great host and mostly knows how to pick the right stories! However I would suggest fewer stories about people’s dreams as they are mostly boring and pointless. I would also suggest that you stop constantly interrupting people, just let them get the stories out.
  • Kabman1009
    Good program that used to be great
    Jim is a tremendous host and has taken the concept of old shows like Coast to Coast and improved them. Guiding callers through telling their own stories can by clumsy, but Jim does a top rate job of keeping them on track. The older shows are the best however. The 1 1/2 hour versions have too many advertisements and some of the stories go on and on and really seem to be rambling aimed at filling the time slot. Not allowing every caller to amble on would be great—especially if every caller makes it on the show. Some of the calls aren’t really worth the time it takes to listen. Some person waxing on about a dream they had isn’t interesting radio. Like I said, this is a top shelf show. Just find the old episodes and stay spooky. Those are the best!
  • KidRolbot
    Used to Love this Show, not so much anymore
    Ive been listening to the campfire for years and used to love the show but lately it seems Jim mostly curates stories from paid subscribers - and while there is nothing wrong with that - when I hear the SAME person 3 or 4 times on different episodes talk about their bad dream or “eerie feeling” it starts to get really old. Most of the stories are told in an over-dramatic and theatrical way which right off the bat is a red flag. You’ll notice most of the best stories are told by regular people who aren’t really into the supernatural and are seemingly hesitant to share. Unfortunately, you may only get one of those genuine stories in every episode and the rest of the time it’s people turning a 1 minute “weird experience” into a 15 minute John Carpenter story.

    Really feel the warmth of the fire
    Hands down, the best true paranormal/ghost/head scratcher podcast out there. A lot of fun to listen to in the dark after I’ve gone to bed and relaxed. Thanks, Jim, and stay spooky 👻

  • Dr3392
    Accidentally just became a SUPER FAN
    All I listen to is podcast my husband introduced me to this amazing we would listen on road trips but now listen to it religiously
  • Peppermintlollipop
    $$$
    I don’t mind paying to listen but when you lock almost all episodes it is ridiculous.
  • Blloyd14
    ugh
    making 90% of your episodes be behind a $7.99 paywall like… that’s how much I’m paying for a streaming service not a podcast.
  • Kelstar8
    Gather round the Campfire
