Encounters x267 - Haunted Children

Beware: This episode is FULL of haunted children, ghostly playmates, and eerie encounters that prove kids might just be the best (and creepiest) paranormal detectors out there. From a little girl’s “imaginary” friend who turned out to be something far more sinister, to a child lured toward a portal by a spectral playmate, these stories will have you questioning every giggle you hear in an empty room. One listener's daughter was so terrified of her bedroom, she abandoned her favorite stuffed animals just to stay out of it—because “the boy” was there. And in a jaw-dropping twist, another listener found out their lost sibling was still watching over them… in the most chilling way possible. Oh, and let’s not forget the black-eyed children. Because of course they’re here too. 👀 Why do spirits seem so drawn to kids? Are these ghosts looking for a friend… or something more sinister? We’re diving into the eerie world of ghostly children and the terrifying ways they make their presence known. So cuddle up (maybe with all the lights on), because this one is pure nightmare fuel. 😱👻 🔥 Want ad-free episodes, bonus content, and to share your own story LIVE at Campfire Stories?
