This

woman.

Aubrey nearly collided with her, stopped short, tried to sidestep.

But at this point, the woman's face had completely transformed.

Her mouth had stretched unnaturally wide, like something inhuman, something we couldn't do.

She had too many teeth for her head, and they were crowded at odd angles.

And her eyes, her smile was almost up to her eyes.

Yeah.

Do you think that when people's lives end that quick like that, there's a little bit of a vibration, there's a little bit of an echo of their presence? What do you make of that?

uh... well uh... great great uh... story to the caller uh...

i believe that i believe that i also believe this is a thing things disappearing and showing up in bizarre places places you've looked ten times and there's people have actually written books mary rose barrington wrote a book called jack just one of those things and this comes up on the campfire all the time things that turn up in very odd places we had a christmas ornament that had to do with uh... someone who passed away at a very young age that showed up in a very bizarre place.

This is a thing, caller.

This is a thing.

It's not just you.

People all over the world experience this very thing.

So it was obviously like with the chair.

[laughs]

Well, this was a good one.

This was, uh, uh, I think a young lady called in maybe a year or two ago with this one, and it's, it's such a favorite that a lot of times when I give talks, uh, in person, I will, uh, lead with this story.

Um, it happened around 2019.

It was in a urban campus in Pennsylvania.

The, the woman's name is Aubrey, and this happened in broad daylight.

She was, um, had attended her classes for the day, was getting ready to go back home.

What was that one?

It is.

I mean, that place at the sea, that the guy happened to go play the crane, I happened to think of my uncle, and then a woman walks up next to him and s- And I think sometimes that's the way the supernatural works.

I think that's the way that messages are gotten to us, or I have another instance.

This goes back years.

I was about 18 years old.

I was, um, in a rural area, West Virginia, where my, uh, parents, uh, were born.

We were visiting some family and there was this young lady apparently who took a shine to me in the town, so I got to meet her, and we were walking along this, uh, country road, and there was this huge log truck parked on the one side, stacked full of logs.

So, uh, for our, our listeners, let everyone know where they can get your podcasts.

Yeah.

We had one in the early days of Jim Harold's Campfire that was a woman who said she had a haunted recliner, and all of these weird things, shadow people and all of these different things would happen.

And they finally, um, took the recliner out to the, the lawn, uh, that we, here in Ohio, we call the tree lawn.

I think other people have other terms for it across the country and the world, but we call it the tree lawn for the garbage.

And the person said they looked out the window and they claimed that they could see spirits flying out of it, and that the chair started dragging itself down the street.

[laughs] So that was a very haunted recliner.

And they had gotten the recliner secondhand.

Yeah.

[laughs]

...

the point is, a- and I've said this many times, um, there is no doubt in my mind that I believe there is something going on in many, uh, i- i- in these different silos, uh, uh, uh, phenomena, whether it's UFOs, whether it's ghosts.

A little more skeptical about some cryptozoology, like Bigfoot and Sasquatch and so forth.

But particularly UFOs, ghosts, life after death, those kinda things.

I just think the world is so much more complicated, uh, than we, uh, in our current science can understand.

Uh, an example that I use, and my listeners if they hear this, they'll be sick of it, they've heard it a million times, but I use the example of DNA.

Yeah.

I really liked the one you opened the book up with.

Yeah, this one is really, it's, it's kind of involved, but it's really freaky and it's kind of like a ghost story on steroids.

Um, this was our caller.

Um, and this started when she lived in North Carolina in about 2002 and, uh, she was going to go visit a friend, a male friend in Richmond, Virginia, and they were going to meet up for the weekend.

So anyway, and her name's Jennifer.

And she drove there, and she got in, I guess, like 1 o'clock or something on a Friday, and they were going to spend the week together and just have a lot of fun around town and things.

And they were talking, and her name's Jennifer.

And the one I really liked was entitled, It Opened a Portal.

It is.

I mean, that place at the sea, that the guy happened to go play the crane, I happened to think of my uncle, and then a woman walks up next to him and s- And I think sometimes that's the way the supernatural works.

I think that's the way that messages are gotten to us, or I had another instance.

This goes back years.

And the person said they looked out the window and they claimed that they could see spirits flying out of it, and that the chair started dragging itself down the street.

[laughs] So that was a very haunted recliner, and they had gotten the recliner secondhand.

They had bought it from someone whose loved one died, and that was their chair, and they felt that, uh, that it was haunted.

Go ahead, yeah
