A candlemaker guards one dying flame through the night while ravenous things in the dark demand the soul of a frozen stranger. An old woman stares through a second-floor window with no ledge to stand on, and the shadow man behind her inches closer with every passing night. And a small-town officer commits a man to a psychiatric hold for claiming a five-year-old suicide was really a murder — until the same vision starts playing out in front of his own eyes.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: I have three stories in this episode for you! Andrew Pendragon pens the tale, “Candles” to start things off. Weirdo Family member Randy Hogan shares a fictional tale called “Old Woman in the Window”. And then our final story is from S.F.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: September 10, 2020Weird Darkness gathers three works of horror fiction for Creepypasta Thursday, moving from a candlemaker's nightly bargain with the dark, to a watcher at an upstairs window, to a small-town murder reopened by a vision no evidence could explain.It opens with a candlemaker in the small town of Clovetown, the last practitioner of an inherited art he calls Chandler's candles, passed to him from his father and grandmother and kept alive mostly through monthly orders from the Catholic church down the road. His after-hours visitors come only once, telling him sad stories before they go, and on a freezing Tuesday a muddy, shivering man named Basim arrives — a wanderer whose family left Israel before settling in a Midwestern state he refuses to name. The candlemaker warms Basim with tea, tends a bruise left when local children pelted him with a rock, and sends him off with a vanilla-scented sculpted candle and a box of matches. That night the shop window shatters under another volley of stones, and Basim is found frozen to death on a bench outside. As the power fails and darkness floods the shop, ravenous shadow-creatures his family has sheltered against for centuries surround him and demand Basim's marked soul, and he survives the night only by shielding the dying flame of that single candle with his own body until dawn.From there the episode turns to a teenage boy who finds an old woman staring through his second-floor bedroom window, her face blank and dead, though no ledge or balcony exists for anyone to stand on. She returns each night after 10:30 for eight months, and the pattern eventually breaks — she appears in the living room window in daylight, then inside the house, and finally seated beside him with the same lifeless expression. A second figure joins her, a shadow man with masculine features who edges closer with each appearance, and his presence twists the old woman's blank stare into one of horror and terror. By the end, both stand within inches of the boy, and he does not know whether he will live to see another night.The episode closes with Sean Barkley, a Crisis Intervention Team officer working the night shift in rural Pennsylvania, dispatched on a freezing-rain night to a farmhouse where a man named Kevin claims to have witnessed a murder. Kevin's sister, Melissa Watson, died in that house five years earlier in a death ruled a suicide, but he now sees a recurring vision in the upstairs bedroom — Melissa pleading for her life as her husband Andrew fires a gun — and Barkley glimpses the same muzzle flash in the window. Rather than let Kevin hunt Andrew down, Barkley commits him on an involuntary hold and quietly reopens the case with fellow officer Tim, uncovering an autopsy that recorded old bruises and a broken rib never investigated, a handgun bullet buried in the mattress, and a shotgun shell hidden in an air duct. The trail leads to Virginia Beach, where a search warrant turns up Melissa's missing .380 and a destroyed external hard drive holding child exploitation material, some of it filmed in the basement of the farmhouse. Andrew is arrested and then released on bail before he is found dead in a motel room, an apparent suicide with a note only Barkley can see, and a final vision of Melissa's spirit reveals that she had drawn the investigation toward exposing her husband so that she could claim her own revenge.

For Ashton and his friends, the abandoned asylum had become routine. They'd spent countless nights wandering its empty halls looking for a scare, convinced the stories surrounding the building were probably exaggerated.Until one night, someone in the group heard screaming coming from upstairs.What happened after that changed the mood instantly. A friend who went to investigate began acting strangely inside the asylum's old lunchroom, refusing to leave while everyone around her realized something was seriously wrong. And by the time the group finally made it back outside, more than one person was convinced they hadn't been alone in the building after all.The unsettling part wasn't just what happened inside the asylum. It was how differently everyone remembered it afterward. #RealGhostStories #HauntedAsylum #ParanormalPodcast #GhostEncounter #ShadowFigure #AbandonedPlaces #TrueGhostStory #SupernaturalExperience #ParanormalActivity #GhostHuntingLove real ghost stories?

The birthright citizenship case and immigration raids have drawn headlines and national attention, but Lucas Guttentag, who teaches immigration law at Stanford and Yale law schools, says some of the Trump administration's most consequential immigration changes are unfolding with far less public scrutiny. Guttentag, one of the nation's leading immigration law experts and founder of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, joins host Professor Pamela Karlan for a wide-ranging conversation about current American immigration policies. Guttentag discusses his time in the Biden administration and compares policies in the first Trump administration with those of the second. He also focuses on the Immigration Policy Tracking Project, an effort he launched in 2017 with law students to document every Trump administration immigration policy, implementation memo, directive, and related legal challenge. The tracker, he explains, is designed to make visible what can otherwise be hard to see: hundreds of policy changes that, taken together, are reshaping the immigration system. The episode examines what these changes mean for immigration courts, bond hearings, temporary protected status, green card applications, and the lawyers challenging the administration in court. One of Guttentag's central points is that immigration is a civil system, not a criminal one, and the distinction matters for anyone trying to understand what is happening now.

The EU Migration and Asylum Pact continues to generate significant political debate, with supporters arguing it will bring greater order and efficiency to the management of migration across Europe, while critics have raised concerns about issues including sovereignty, deportation procedures and the proposed use of return hubs in third countries. As Ireland moves to implement the pact, questions remain about its impact on the asylum system and what it will mean in practice. Alan Morrissey spoke to Shannon Sinn Fein TD Donna McGettigan and Fine Fáil TD Timmy Dooley to get their opinions on the issue. Image (c) European Union

Decisions are happening fast — and the consequences are showing. Last week, Trump announced he would nominate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the top post at the Justice Department, after Blanche nixed the $1.776 “Anti-Weaponization” fund while keeping the controversial release that shields Trump and his family from any liability. Mary and Andrew highlight the myriad of issues Blanche will need to answer for when a confirmation hearing comes, before moving to the Supreme Court ruling that allows Alabama to adopt a Republican-drawn congressional map eliminating one of only two majority-Black districts in the state. This nullifies a lower court's decision that the map was, in fact, intentionally discriminatory. Next up, the co-hosts review a Rhode Island judge's ruling that invalidated several of Trump's immigration policies, including one that placed a hold on asylum claims globally, causing chaos and uncertainty for many legally trying to obtain asylum claims and green card status.And lastly, a beat on a new executive order stripping job protections from thousands of federal workers, plus continuing litigation over Trump's ballroom.

In the last month, there has been a flurry of changes in immigration policies. On Friday, a federal judge ruled the Trump administration must resume processing asylum applications from 39 countries. The administration also sought to make major changes to the green card application process. That's all happening with Operation PARRIS in the background, which is an effort to re-vet the applications of thousands of refugees in Minnesota for potential fraud or other crimes. That launched this past winter.Minnesota Now's next two guests have been supporting people who have been navigating all of these shifts. Corleen Smith is immigration services director at the International Institute of Minnesota and Michelle Drake is a lawyer with Berger Montague.

Horror fiction anthology featuring mad science, body horror mutations, and medical terror. When human experiments go catastrophically wrong, an asylum doctor transforms into something impossible, a toxic disaster spawns flesh-ripping nightmares, and secret bioweapons become monsters. Four gruesome tales of scientific failure and corporeal dread, expertly narrated with cinematic ambiance for fans of creature horror, horror legends, and dark pulp storytelling.These four tales crawl through the places where the human body stops being safe: an asylum doctor transformed into something impossible, a toxic disaster that unleashes prehistoric predators, a mountain crime scene overrun by man-eating feral hogs, and a warehouse hiding a family secret made of scars, blood, and teeth.Inside this episode:• I Used to Be a Doctor in an Insane Asylum. My Patient Destroyed My World. — by Michael KelsoA psychiatrist working with the most violent patients imaginable loses everything when one of them escapes… but death is only the beginning. After a brutal attack, the doctor awakens as something no longer fully human, becoming an electrical ghost obsessed with revenge. • Night of the Tyrants — by David O'HanlonA criminal nightmare in Fortune, Missouri turns prehistoric when a toxic disaster reveals what a nearby “chemical depot” has really been hiding. Drug dealers, killers, explosions, and rampaging dinosaurs collide in a savage body-horror creature feature. • Hog Wild — by David O'HanlonA botched murder trip leaves criminals stranded in the woods, suspended in a wrecked car above a feeding frenzy of feral hogs. As the bodies fall and the pigs gather below, survival becomes a bloody, brutal fight against nature's ugliest appetite. • Warehouse of Blood — by Shane MigliavaccaA late-night reporter follows a missing-person lead into a family-owned warehouse and finds something much worse than a scoop. Behind the locked doors waits a scarred, hidden, half-forgotten monster who wants to play with his new “dolly.” If you love mad scientist horror, body horror stories, monster horror podcasts, creepy experiments, mutant creatures, revenge from beyond death, and gory pulp horror, this compilation is packed with the kind of nasty surprises that make you check your pulse just to make sure your body still belongs to you.

This very well could be a top 5 favourite conversation I have ever had.  We came in to restock and clean The Moon for the Sunday Smoke Show and Trish could tell I wasn't in a good head space.  She immediately sat me down got me high and proceeded to give me the most soul shaking mindset shifting pep talk of my life. She told me exactly what I needed to hear both positive and negative. The combination of being validated for the things I was feeling without letting me off the hook for the ways that I have not been showing up like I need to sunk right to the core and I felt myself change mid conversation.  Part way through this Trish told me to break out my old podcast gear (new setup has been nothing but tech issues) and just record an episode.  In this podcast you will hear a raw version of how me and trish talk all the time and I hope it connects with you even partially as much as it impacted me.  I'm so thankful for the amazing people in my life and so excited for everything to come. Also I just blindly hit record midway through the conversation and we didn't actually talk into the mics for the first 9 minutes so the audio quality will markedly increase 9 minutes into the convo lol.I hope everyone hears how much we genuinely love The Moon and the community it has created in this heart to heart and if it sounds like something you would enjoy come join us for an old school Trish's Asylum June 26 and follow the moon @themooyeg

Millions of immigrants apply for asylum in the United States every year, which protects them from deportation. But judges in a Missouri immigration court deny the majority of asylum claims they consider. A story of the obstacles facing asylum seekers from The Midwest Newsroom.

Courts are supposed to treat like cases alike. But research consistently finds that judges' backgrounds and beliefs can influence their decisions. Most research focuses on courts where individual votes are public, but what about in systems where only a collective judgment is published? A new study uses innovative statistical analysis of Swiss court data to shed light on exactly this problem, with implications for how judicial institutions everywhere should be designed. Joining host Alan Renwick are two of the study's authors, both from the UCL Department of Political Science: Ben Lauderdale, Professor of Political Science, and Judith Spirig, Associate Professor of Political Science. Mentioned in this episode: Inferring Individual Preferences from Group Decisions: Judicial Preference Variation and Aggregation on Collegial Courts by Dominik Hangartner, Benjamin E. Lauderdale, and Judith Spirig.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani floating controversial plans that critics say could allow the city to seize neglected private apartment buildings and transfer them to nonprofits or tenants, reigniting fears over socialism, property rights, rent control, and the future of New York real estate; the Trump administration dramatically escalating its immigration crackdown by targeting asylum lawyers accused of coaching illegal immigrants to lie in asylum cases and exploit loopholes in the immigration system; and a San Francisco YMCA quietly changing its women's locker room policies after backlash over a transgender-identifying biological male repeatedly exposing himself in shared female spaces, reigniting the national debate over gender ideology, women's privacy, and transgender policies, and much more.

[Part One of Two] As Houston, Texas accused murderer Lee Gilley awaits word on his fate after fleeing to Milan, Italy, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ are on the case. Will Italy grant him asylum, or treat him as a criminal to be extradited back to the United States? New details have emerged about Lee's plan to escape his Houston trial for allegedly killing his wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, and their unborn child in October 2024. Lee's brother, Matt Gilley, testified that he didn't help Lee flee on May 1, but said Lee looked different at their mother's deathbed in April — heavier, bearded, with long hair. Matt's Zoom testimony came in an emergency custody hearing for Lee and Christa's two young children. Christa's family fears Lee's relatives will take the kids to Europe, yet a Harris County judge ordered the children returned to Texas.  Meanwhile, two of Lee's attorneys move to withdraw and we dig into the 1983 US–Italy Extradition Treaty while Lee's Italian attorney Monica Grosso says that Lee is exhausted from all his recent travels.  We're exhausted too, but Let's Dive in…

Kaye, author of Thomas Paine and The Promise of America, who talks about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's recent interest in Thomas Paine, how one pamphlet changed the reason for the American Revolution, and the importance of the Founding Father religious zealots and billionaires want you to forget about.

In this powerful and timely episode, Dr Ahmed Seedat — respiratory and general internal medicine consultant, global health specialist, and former policy fellow — joins Dr Krishna Misra, an experienced GP in inclusion health, for an in‑depth exploration of migrant and refugee health. Together with host Dr Rohan Mehra, they unpack the realities facing displaced populations today: from the impact of geopolitical instability and the climate emergency, to the language and stigma shaping public attitudes, to the structural barriers embedded within UK health systems.Through expert insight and frontline experience, the conversation delves into the drivers of forced migration, the consequences of restricted safe routes, the challenges created by the UK asylum backlog, and the complex interplay between trauma, mental health, and chronic disease. Importantly, the episode also highlights a successful collaborative model between primary and secondary care in South East London — demonstrating the power of relationships, community, and advocacy to improve outcomes for some of the most marginalised people in society.Listeners will leave with a richer understanding of migrant health, actionable advice for clinicians, and a hopeful reminder that community truly is a superpower.ResourcesDoctors of the World:Advice line - Doctors of the Worldurgent_care_guidelines.pdf Home 2026 | Refugee WeekBMA:Refugee and asylum seeker health resource updated 2025 BMJ:Knights F, Munir S, Ahmed H, Hargreaves S.

THE TESTAMENTS – “Marat Sade” – As Daisy steps into a new role, she considers what she's willing to lose to help her friends. (Disney/Russ Martin)CHASE INFINITI The shortest episode of the season, but maybe the most layered. Right off the bat, Caroline and Paul dissect this episode’s name and what its use may imply. Some hints: it’s actually a derivation of a much longer name – The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade, and it involves the French Revolution, an asylum, the Marquis de Sade, and the murder of a revolutionary. Go check out the Wikipedia entry for the movie based on the play here or about the play itself here. This is our favorite kind of episode to take apart and discuss all of the different parts that make it stand out. The deep title, the visual motifs, the foreshadowing – this episode had a LOT for the viewers to chew on and in one of the longest podcasts of this series so far, Paul and Caroline certainly have full… mouths? I’m not sure that metaphor works. We would never physically chew into the microphone during a podcast. I just mean to say that the podcast is dense this week.

“The Deep Shuddered”: An unfaithful husband, his wife, and his mistress find themselves aboard the same doomed ocean liner the night an iceberg opens its hull beneath them — and three decades later, one of them sits in a Gloucestershire asylum listening to the same record over and over and believing she is still at sea.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

     Slam the Gavel welcomes back Amanda Story who was last on Season 4, Episode 142, and Crystal Salazar Season 5, Episode 174.        Today we discussed the major human rights issue in the United States — the fact that America still does not have a fully independent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) aligned with the UN Paris Principles, despite international efforts dating back to the 1990s.       In 2023, the NHRI for USA campaign publicly pushed for the creation of one, and in 2025 the Institute for Advancement of Justice & Human Rights (IAJ) launched as an independent organization working toward human rights investigations, accountability, and advocacy surrounding issues such as family court abuses, CPS misconduct, disability rights, and systemic due process concerns.       We talked about both the broader national implications and Crystal's personal experience — including her Texas CPS case, international human rights findings connected to her situation, and her current asylum journey to the UK — as part of a larger conversation about why independent human rights oversight in the U.S. matters.https://nhriforusa.org/abouthttps://www.iaj.institute/To Reach Amanda Story and Crystal Salazar: iajvolunteer2501@gmail.comTik tok @crystal.salazar04Texas Tribune Link: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/11/texas-foster-care-janis-jack-fifth-circuit/Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Dr. Heracles Moskoff joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to explore what happens after a country builds the laws, shelters, and partnerships meant to protect people — and why outcomes still depend on whether someone, somewhere, recognizes what others overlook.ChaptersAbout Dr. Heracles MoskoffDr. Heracles Moskoff serves as Secretary General for Vulnerable Persons and Institutional Protection at Greece's Ministry of Migration and Asylum, a role he assumed in July 2023. He previously served as Special Secretary for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors (2021–2023), overseeing the implementation of Greece's National Guardianship System and frameworks for the accommodation and protection of unaccompanied children. With over two decades of experience in migration policy, human security, and anti-trafficking efforts, Dr. Moskoff has held roles within Greece's Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2001, including as Expert Counselor on Human Security. In 2013, he was appointed National Rapporteur on Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, coordinating Greece's National Referral Mechanism and National Action Plan (2018–2022). He represents Greece at the EU, United Nations, Council of Europe, and OSCE. He holds a PhD in Sociology from the London School of Economics.Key Points• Most countries have robust anti-trafficking legal frameworks, but the real gap is “national ownership” — the capacity of frontline professionals to recognize indicators when victims do not self-identify.• Faith communities and faith-based NGOs are essential partners because they reach both potential victims and the demand side at an existential level that law enforcement cannot.• Greece's National Emergency Response Mechanism — a 24/7 hotline with mobile units — has helped recover more than 10,000 unaccompanied children over the last five years.• A culture of impunity persists worldwide: only a small percentage of victims are identified and only a small percentage of perpetrators face justice; the identification chain has to extend beyond police to medical, migration, and public administration professionals.• Trafficking is not only the textbook case — the “gray area” of dirty, difficult, dangerous informal work for unaccompanied minors is its own form of exploitation, often tolerated by enforcement.• Consumer demand and corporate supply chains require regulation with real teeth; well-intentioned laws like the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act remain under-enforced, and Greece faces the same gap.• A new presidential decree authorizes new departments dedicated to anti-trafficking and gender-based violence, including planned shelters for male victims and victims of forced labor.• Survivors of forced criminality carry trauma alongside extraordinary resilience; with proper mental health support, integration can produce what Dr. Moskoff calls “a miracle of integration.”Resources• Global Center for Women and Justice• Greece Ministry of Migration and Asylum• Greece National Emergency Response Mechanism (for unaccompanied minors)• EU Pact on Migration and Asylum• United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime• California Transparency in Supply Chains Act

Asylum entries are down 99.9%. Student visas, family visas, and H-1B applications have all cratered. Ryan Bourne is joined by Cato's David Bier to examine how President Trump's executive actions have blocked far more legal immigrants than illegal ones, and why the president's stated support for legal immigration doesn't match his policy record.

"It was really sort of a Blitzkrieg assault approach where I wrote many, many scripts and emailed everybody I knew, and entered scripts into screenwriting competitions. "While I was living in New York I paid for a pitch fest in L.A. I flew out there to this event where you had five minutes to pitch different companies, like Lionsgate Motion Pictures. It was like speed dating for screenwriters. Eventually, I got one of my scripts into the hands of The Asylum and that eventually became 'Born Bad,' which was a made-for Lifetime TV movie. When they told me they liked that script and they wanted me, well, that was amazing!" Jared Cohn is a film/TV director, writer, and producer based in Los Angeles, CA.
