Welcome to True Scary Story. We have a bonus episode today with Jim

from Jim Harold's Campfire who's gonna tell us a true story that was shared with

him. My name is Edwin and he is Jim Harold's true scary story. Hi, I'm Jim Herald Camp Fire.

Real people come on and tell their stories every week.

We do about 90 minutes of real stories from real people.

And occasionally we put these together for a book and just recently I came out with

true ghost stories, Jim Harold's Campfire 6, and this is what I think is one of the most frightening stories in the book.

And this one's about a curse. This was John from Idaho.

And I'm going to share the story in his voice, John's story.

John's story.

John says, I kept this story to myself for many, many years primarily for fear of ridicule.

I probably wouldn't believe it had I not been there.

My father ran a painting business in the late 70s and early 80s employing several people.

One of the men wasn't working out.

My dad decided that he needed to let him go.

I don't remember why I was home that particular day, but I witnessed the entire incident.

I was only about 10 years old.

This man came to our house on the day in question, as all the men did every morning before going out to perform their assignments.

My dad pulled the worker aside and said,

I'm going to have to let you go. This just isn't working out.

And the fellow probably became very upset and he said, you can't fire me. My dad replied,

why couldn't I do that? The man said, because I'm Jesus Christ.
