Podcasts about Attic

Some houses don't reveal their secrets right away. They wait. They listen. They decide when to make themselves known. At first, it was only the usual sounds of an old home—creaks, thumps, and whispers in the walls. But as nights passed, the house began to change. Footsteps echoed in the hallway when everyone was asleep. The attic hatch swayed with no wind. And then came the moment that shattered all sense of safety — a deafening bang from above, followed by weeks of paranormal activity that grew darker by the day. A mother, her children, and something unseen shared that house. The entity didn't just haunt the attic — it followed them long after they moved out.  It watched. It whispered names. It left bruises where no hands should have been. This haunted house story from Hazel Park isn't about flickering lights or cold drafts — it's about a spirit that waited patiently to make its presence known. What did it want? Why did it follow them? And what happens when a haunting refuses to stay behind?  #trueghoststory #hauntedhouse #paranormalactivity #realhaunting #ghostencounters #scarystory #hauntedattic #poltergeist #supernatural #realghoststoriesonline  Love real ghost stories?

Is "rotted" cooler slang than "rotten"? How "monotone" can Beat Happening's lead vocalist actually be? How does Christina rate the relative cuteness of Aleka's Attic, River Phoenix's band? Has the time come for a Toy Soldiers remake? Is it acceptable to call Winona Ryder "Noni"? These are but a few of the questions we answer in the June 1991 Pop Culture episode. We also have a few about Alek Keshishian, but he...probably shouldn't listen. You, however? You definitely should. QUICK LINKS

The Fat One kicks off the new week with a recap of his weekend which included Friday at Fatty's, a haircut, finishing the interior Chrima decorations in the Villa, sportsball, nattering about the Big Run and the Best of Broadway production of “The Sound of Music.” Happy National Vanilla Cupcake Day.

Is it time for you to deal with your stuff? Those negative feelings, emotions and memories that you suppressed, stuffed in a box and put in the attic! It may have felt like life became easier when you did that because you didn't have to face that stuff everyday. But those boxes of stuff in the attic of your mind may be the very things stand between you and the life you want to be living. It's time to clean out your attic!

In this Friday Thinking Talmudist episode on Talmud Bava Metzia 84b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the extraordinary life and legacy of Rebbe Elazar ben Rebbe Shimon, a sage whose body remained undecayed in his attic for 18–22 years after death due to his unparalleled righteousness—his vessel solely for Torah and mitzvot, not worldly indulgence. The Talmud recounts how his absence as community marshal prevented women from receiving halachic rulings on purity, halting procreation, echoing stories like Rav Moshe Feinstein's eight-year childless period without a mikvah. Rebbe Elazar's wife observed blood when hairs fell and a worm from his ear, which he explained in a dream as minor punishment for once failing to protest slander against Torah scholars, teaching the grave obligation to defend the righteous and halt lashon hara—worse for the listener who enables its spread than the speaker.The narrative highlights Rebbe Elazar's posthumous miracles: a heavenly voice from the attic resolved disputes, interpreted as divine inspiration guiding just settlements; his unburied body protected the city from wild animals; and a serpent guarded his father's cave until burial. Parallels include the Gaon of Vilna's perfectly preserved body and the Chafetz Chaim's gravesite preventing miscarriages, underscoring burial's sanctity over cremation, which denies body-soul reunion at resurrection. Rabbi Wolbe passionately advocates for tahara (purification rites) by the Chevra Kadisha as a profound mitzvah, preparing the deceased for heavenly judgment, and recommends Rabbi Doron Kornbluth's book Cremation or Burial? for spiritual and environmental insights.Ultimately, the Gemara contrasts Rebbe Elazar's humility and self-imposed suffering to spare Jewish pain with Rebbe Shimon ben Gamaliel's self-description as a "lion son of a fox," proving true anavah (humility) among greats like the Bnei Beteira and Yonatan ben Shaul. Rabbi Wolbe ties this to defending Torah scholars amid Israel's yeshiva draft debates—spiritual pillars merit protection like Pharaoh exempted learners—urging pride in Judaism as Rosh Hashanah approaches, crowning Hashem as eternal King with majesty far surpassing earthly royalty._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on September 19, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 7, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

It is a pleasure to welcome country music singer Adam Warner to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Country music's breakout artist has learned not to take himself too seriously, and his music gives his audience permission to do the same. With standout releases like “4 Square Miles,” which reached #1 on The Country Network's Video Countdown, and “Semper Fi” featuring Trace Adkins, a tribute to active and former military that was named Independent Country Music Song of the Year, Warner has carved out a place of honor in the genre. His high-energy anthem “Welcome to the South,” even became a game-day staple at Tennessee Titans home games in Nissan Stadium.In 2022, Adam Warner released the acclaimed album What We're Known For, earning rave reviews from the industry. The 12-track project featured fan favorites such as “Catchin' Hell,” “Reason to Redneck,” “One Drunk,” “Split A Beer,” “Lost In A Country Song,” a powerful remake of the classic “Long Haired Country Boy,” and the title track “What We're Known For.” 2023 brought even more momentum, highlighted by the heartfelt re-release of “First Face”, a tribute to Warner's wife, Megan, and their first child, Rivers Paige. In 2024, Warner continued to deliver hits with a steady stream of new singles and milestone performances, including his debut appearances at both CMA Fest and the iconic Country Thunder festival in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin.2025 is already shaping up to be a milestone year for the Nashville authentic country music sensation, marked by the release of his most dynamic project yet. His 12-song album Where I'm Coming From, released in May, features streaming favorites like “The People”, a patriotic salute to everyday Americans, along with “The Farmer,” “Back When,” “Outlaws Baby,” and “Do Country” featuring Nate Kenyon. The project also highlights “Most of This Town” and three distinct versions of “Bridge I'd Love To Burn” – including the original, a club mix, and a mandolin mix featuring rising bluegrass phenom Wyatt Ellis. Having just lit up the stage at Summerfest, up next, fans can expect to see the Marine-turned-country sensation's music philosophy brought to life at The Hoofbeat Festival, the legendary Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA, and at various clubs, venues, and festivals throughout the United States.   On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Adam Warner spoke about the lessons he learned from sharing the stage with Lee Brice, Rhonda Vincent, and Trace Atkins, performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and sharing the stories behind his most-streamed Spotify songs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In Episode 261 of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with Alabama native Clever for a genre-spanning conversation that follows his journey from Gadsden to the hip-hop world of Los Angeles and now into the heart of Nashville's creative community. They discuss the rich musical culture of Alabama, his early success in hip-hop, and how transitioning into country music became a natural evolution rather than a pivot. Clever opens up about balancing family life with a demanding career, the importance of collaboration, and staying grounded in an ever-changing industry. With stories from the road, lessons from the business, and reflections on artistic identity, this episode captures Clever's unique voice and vision as he celebrates the release of his new album Coyote, available now on all platforms.

But for one listener, the converted attic of her childhood home became the stage for a true story that reads like a gothic nightmare.  We bring you three encounters — a pale boy in a red shirt standing at the foot of the bed, an invisible weight settling down beside a teenager in the dark, and a midnight visitation that arrived exactly at 2 AM before a beloved nanny passed on. These incidents are told with raw detail and an eerie calm that makes you question what's a dream and what's real. Then the tale turns to animals: ghost cats that return with the weight of memory, and an unforgettable encounter in an English village where a grieving woman kneels over a 19th-century grave — and an Irish wolfhound sits behind her, then vanishes. Local legend whispers of a loyal dog that protected women and died a brutal death; now, some say, it patrols the old cemetery still. Is this residual energy, a protective spirit, or a malevolent attachment? This is real haunting territory: haunted house vibes, pet ghosts, prophetic visitations, and spine-tingling moments that feel like they should be caught on camera but exist only in whispered memory. #TrueStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #GhostBoy #GhostDog #Paranormal #CemeteryGhost #PetGhost #GhostEncounter #SpiritualAttachment #GhostStories #HauntedEngland Love real ghost stories?

Story Transcript:Nl: Het was een koude herfstmiddag in Amsterdam.En: It was a cold autumn afternoon in Amsterdam.Nl: Het oude weeshuis, een gebouw dat eeuwen geleden was gebouwd, was omgeven door een tuin vol gouden en rode bladeren.En: The old orphanage, a building built centuries ago, was surrounded by a garden full of golden and red leaves.Nl: Lars stond aan een groot raam en keek naar de andere kinderen die zich verzamelden voor een excursie.En: Lars stood at a large window, watching the other children gather for an excursion.Nl: Lars was echter niet geïnteresseerd in de wandeling door de stad.En: However, Lars was not interested in the walk through the city.Nl: Zijn nieuwsgierigheid lag elders, daarboven in de verboden zolder van het weeshuis.En: His curiosity lay elsewhere, up there in the forbidden attic of the orphanage.Nl: De verhalen die Lars had gehoord over de geschiedenis van het weeshuis prikkelden zijn gedachten.En: The stories that Lars had heard about the history of the orphanage stimulated his thoughts.Nl: Hij had gehoord van een verborgen stuk geschiedenis, misschien zelfs een uitzonderlijke schat, die wachtte om ontdekt te worden.En: He had heard of a hidden piece of history, possibly even an extraordinary treasure, waiting to be discovered.Nl: Zijn ogen glinsterden van spanning.En: His eyes sparkled with excitement.Nl: Elsa en Pim, zijn vrienden, riepen hem van beneden.En: Elsa and Pim, his friends, called to him from below.Nl: "Lars, kom mee!En: "Lars, come with us!Nl: Ze gaan zo vertrekken!"En: They're leaving soon!"Nl: Maar Lars had iets anders in gedachten.En: But Lars had something else in mind.Nl: Hij moest zijn nieuwsgierigheid stillen.En: He had to satisfy his curiosity.Nl: Als hij erin zou slagen om de zolder te bereiken, wellicht zou hij vinden waarnaar hij zocht.En: If he managed to reach the attic, perhaps he would find what he was looking for.Nl: De verzorger, een strenge man, hield de sleutels goed in de gaten.En: The caretaker, a strict man, kept a close eye on the keys.Nl: Maar Lars, verstandiger dan je zou denken voor zijn leeftijd, had opgemerkt dat de verzorger altijd een korte pauze nam na de lunch.En: But Lars, wiser than you might think for his age, had noticed that the caretaker always took a short break after lunch.Nl: Dit was zijn kans.En: This was his chance.Nl: Stilletjes sloop Lars naar het kantoor van de verzorger.En: Quietly, Lars sneaked to the caretaker's office.Nl: Daar hing de sleutelbos aan een haak.En: There hung the keyring on a hook.Nl: Met een snelle, maar rustige beweging nam hij de sleutel en verstopte hem in zijn zak.En: With a quick but calm motion, he took the key and hid it in his pocket.Nl: Terwijl de andere kinderen en verzorger hun jas aantrokken voor de wandeling, glipte Lars stil weg.En: While the other children and the caretaker put on their jackets for the walk, Lars slipped away silently.Nl: Zijn hart klopte snel terwijl hij de trap op rende.En: His heart beat fast as he ran up the stairs.Nl: De oude houten treden kraakten onder zijn voeten.En: The old wooden steps creaked under his feet.Nl: Maar hij kwam veilig boven aan.En: But he safely reached the top.Nl: Daar, voor hem, stond de zware zolderdeur.En: There, in front of him, stood the heavy attic door.Nl: Zenuwachtig stak hij de sleutel in het slot en draaide het om.En: Nervously, he inserted the key into the lock and turned it.Nl: Het klikte.En: It clicked.Nl: De deur zwaaide langzaam open.En: The door swung open slowly.Nl: De zolder was gevuld met stof en oude, mysterieuze spullen.En: The attic was filled with dust and old, mysterious items.Nl: In het midden stond een grote, oude kist.En: In the center stood a large, old chest.Nl: Lars rende ernaartoe en trok hevig aan het deksel, toen plotseling zware voetstappen naderden.En: Lars ran towards it and pulled hard on the lid, when suddenly heavy footsteps approached.Nl: Zijn hart sloeg over.En: His heart skipped a beat.Nl: Het was de verzorger.En: It was the caretaker.Nl: Snel verstopte Lars de sleutel en opende toch het deksel van de kist.En: Quickly, Lars hid the key and still opened the lid of the chest.Nl: Binnenin lagen boeken, kaarten en artefacten uit lang vervlogen tijden.En: Inside lay books, maps, and artifacts from long ago.Nl: Het was alsof de verhalen die hij had gehoord tot leven kwamen.En: It was as if the stories he had heard came to life.Nl: Maar toen kwam de verzorger, hij keek Lars met een strenge blik aan.En: But then the caretaker came, looking at Lars with a stern gaze.Nl: Lars verwachtte een berisping, misschien zelfs straf, maar tot zijn verbazing glimlachte de verzorger.En: Lars expected a scolding, maybe even punishment, but to his surprise, the caretaker smiled.Nl: "Ik zie dat je nieuwsgierig bent, jongen," zei de verzorger.En: "I see you're curious, boy," said the caretaker.Nl: "Dat is goed.En: "That's good.Nl: Dit weeshuis heeft veel verhalen.En: This orphanage has many stories.Nl: Maar als je meer wilt leren, doe dat dan samen met iemand die je kan helpen."En: But if you want to learn more, do it with someone who can help you."Nl: Lars knikte, opgelucht en opgewonden.En: Lars nodded, relieved and excited.Nl: De verzorger begon te vertellen over de schatten in de kist.En: The caretaker began to tell about the treasures in the chest.Nl: Lars luisterde aandachtig, vol bewondering.En: Lars listened attentively, full of admiration.Nl: Hij begreep dat het belangrijk was hulp te vragen en te delen wat je ontdekte.En: He understood that it was important to ask for help and to share what you discovered.Nl: Vanaf die dag had Lars niet alleen meer kennis, maar ook een mentor in de verzorger.En: From that day on, Lars not only had more knowledge but also a mentor in the caretaker.Nl: En zo veranderde een dag van nieuwsgierigheid in een vriendschap en een avontuur om nooit te vergeten.En: And so a day of curiosity turned into a friendship and an adventure never to be forgotten.Nl: De zolder geheimen waren niet langer verbogen, maar langzaam onthulden ze de rijke geschiedenis van het weeshuis, niet alleen aan Lars, maar ook aan de andere kinderen.En: The attic secrets were no longer hidden but slowly revealed the rich history of the orphanage, not only to Lars but also to the other children.Nl: Iedereen genoot samen van de verhalen en ontdekkingen.En: Everyone enjoyed the stories and discoveries together.Nl: En Lars?En: And Lars?Nl: Hij was niet meer alleen de nieuwsgierige jongen.En: He was no longer just the curious boy.Nl: Hij werd een jong geschiedeniskenner, klaar om te leren en te ontdekken met zijn nieuwe partner aan zijn zijde.En: He became a young history enthusiast, ready to learn and discover with his new partner by his side.

How Ireland is making homes warmer, cheaper to run, and lower-carbon—at real scale—and what you should actually do first. Ireland's Retrofit Race Ireland set out to decarbonise its housing by upgrading existing homes—insulation first, fossil heating out, heat pumps and other renewables in. Dr. Ciarán Byrne from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland explains what “retrofit” really means, where the numbers stand, what's working, and how to start your own upgrade without getting overwhelmed. Ireland's Retrofit Race with Dr. Ciarán Byrne “Anything you do in this space is no-regrets work.” Dr. Ciarán Byrne C Dir Why listen to Ireland's Retrofit Race Plain-English retrofit 101: What counts, what doesn't, and why external wall insulation can make a whole street look brand new. Real progress, real targets: Thousands of upgrades each year, with a growing share of homes reaching a strong BER rating. Money + logistics, demystified: Grants that can be netted off your bill, low-cost green loans, and why using registered contractors matters. Old buildings, smart fixes: How “breathable” materials and traditional-home know-how avoid moisture traps in heritage fabric. Myths busted: You usually don't need to move out for a deep retrofit; confusion often comes from bundling retrofits with kitchen or bathroom refits. Ireland's Retrofit Race Pilot Projects Under 1 Minute Snippet Chapters (00:00:00) - What is retrofitting? A home-energy upgrade: insulate the fabric (walls, roof, doors, windows), then swap fossil heat for renewable systems like heat pumps.(00:03:00) - Targets & the clock: Carbon budgets arrive in five-year blocks; scaling now matters because the decade is “back-end loaded.”(00:04:30) - Scorecard: Applications and completions climbing, more homes hitting BER B2, and solid momentum behind insulation-first pathways.(00:09:30) - Scorecard: Applications and completions climbing, more homes hitting BER B2, and solid momentum behind insulation-first pathways.(00:16:00) - The homeowner journey: Make action easy; reduce clicks and complexity; balance demand with trained, inspected, registered contractors.(00:20:00) - Grants that actually move: Faster approvals, one-stop shops that can net off aid, and quality assurance through inspections.(00:30:00) - “Isn't this only for the wealthy?” Attic insulation is often the cheapest, best first step; green finance covers the rest.(00:33:00) - Deep retrofit myths: Staying put vs. moving out—and why people conflate retrofits with other renovations.(00:34:00) - Heritage & physics: Permeable vs. impermeable materials and a growing evidence base for doing old buildings right(00:37:00) - What's next: Optimised construction, off-site panels, digital twins—promising, but still at early stage locally.(00:40:00) - SEAI's role: “The meat in the sandwich”—bridging policy and delivery while simplifying, standardising, consolidating.(00:41:00) - 2026 success looks like… Bigger numbers, smoother customer journeys, and a confident supply chain.(00:42:00) - Final advice: Check your BER and advisory report, explore grants/finance, pick registered contractors, and start now.

Today's True Weird Stuff - Our Lady Of The Attic   Blanche Monnier’s story is one of the most chilling true tales from 19th-century France.
