The ancients didn't just fear death — they weaponized it, leaving behind curses in hieroglyphics meant to haunt anyone brave enough to look.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: They say grief lingers in the house where children were murdered… but so does something colder, crueler — and far more dangerous. (The Horror of Waupun, Wisconsin) *** In the haunted heart of Edinburgh, there's a pub where the drinks are strong and the screams are stronger. (The Spirits of Banshee Labyrinth) *** The last person to see Virginia alive passed a polygraph — but his wife said he didn't come home until hours later. (The Vanishing of Virginia Carpenter) *** Asteroids, alien civilizations, even cosmic plagues — the real terror isn't what we can see in the sky… it's what we can't. (Space Threats to Earth) *** It started with flirtation, turned into an affair, and ended with a gunshot echoing through the cold night air in a Walgreen's parking lot. (Three Shots In The Night) *** They carved their warnings into stone 4,000 years ago — and now, after centuries of silence, the hieroglyphic curses of the dead are being read aloud once again.

The Banshee Labyrinth, located at 29-35 Niddry Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, is considered to be Scotland's most haunted pub. The pub is made up of seven rooms and about half of the pub is built into Edinburgh's underground vaults. When operational, the vaults were known for homeless, thieves, and the unsavory and it was here, that many people met a very gruesome end. When the pub was renovating one of the vaults, a worker saw a woman with long red hair, covering her face as she sobbed. She then shrieked a horrible howl which caused the worker to pass out in terror. When he came to, she was gone, and when he went home that night, he received a phone call that a family member had died. He felt that he had encountered a banshee, who in Irish mythology says her scream heralds the death of a loved one.Many have placed their drink down and watched it slide straight off the table or smash against a wall as if thrown by an unseen force. Creepy, disembodied sounds can be heard in the corridors in the middle of the night, and some have heard singing down in the tunnels. There are several entities that are seen and felt in different parts of the pub, and at least one that is seen in other pubs nearby. Is whoever met their untimely end in the vaults trapped here to haunt the area? Join us on episode 134 to hear more about this haunted pub!Sources: thebansheelabyrinth.com/, theskinny.co.uk/whats-on/edinburgh/nightclubs/the-banshee-labyrinth, spookyisles.com/banshee-labyrinth/, edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/scotlands-most-haunted-pub-thats-21890799, edinburghnews.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/five-edinburghs-most-haunted-pubs-610690, edinburghnews.scotsman.com/heritage-and-retro/retro/haunted-tales-behind-pubs-which-lie-above-edinburghs-south-bridge-vaults-3070228, casseroleofdisaster.blog/2017/10/28/the-banshee-labyrinth/, hauntedhappenings.co.uk/niddry-street-vaults/, unexplained-mysteries.com/news/351855/scotlands-most-haunted-pub-named-after-banshee-encounter, thefreelibrary.com/Pub%3A+Nicol+Edwards.-a089284470 ###Follow Us:https://www.paranormalpunchers.comhttps://twitter.com/ppunchershttps://instagram.com/paranormalpunchershttps://www.facebook.com/paranormalpunchersSupport the Show:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/paranormal-punchershttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalpunchers

The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future paid Scrooge a visit. We borrow that concept of three as we embark in search of haunted bars, ghost stories and energy centers with a New Year's Eve and/or New Year connection. Places we explore this episode include: Sydney, Australia - We check out two haunted hotels in the Rocks: The Australian Heritage Hotel and the Russel Hotel. Both aren't far from the Circular Quay, a great place to watch New Year's Eve fireworks in Sydney. London, England - We briefly examine the story of a ghost who some say jumps from Westminster Bridge as Big Ben rings in the New Year. Some even say it's Jack the Ripper... (Though that's doubtful.) Speaking of the infamous serial killer, we briefly check out a haunted pub he may have a connection to, The Ten Bells. We also visit the Grenadier, one of London's oldest and many say most haunted pubs.  Edinburgh, Scotland - It wouldn't be a proper New Year without checking out Hogmanay and a pub that proclaims itself Edinburgh's most haunted, the Banshee Labyrinth. New York City, New York - For NYE travelers, Times Square is often a priority destination. One of NYC's most luxurious and storied hotels is not far from Times Square, the Algonquin. NYC Ghosts shared that the Algonquin conducts a mini exorcism every New Year's Eve where staff dim the lights and march through the building banging pots and pans to try and ward off sinister spirits.  Nashville, Tennessee - This booming city is an up-and-comer NYE travel destination. Hank Williams Sr. died on New Year's Day. Not in Nashville, and years before Tootsie's Orchid Lounge ever opened. But some say the ghosts of the honky tonk's proprietor, Tootsie Bess, and the country music legend haunts the Broadway bar. Chicago, Illinois - Legend has it that a woman jumped from the 10th floor of the Drake Hotel on New Year's Eve. Some believe that may be the woman in red thought to haunt the hotel. Anchorage, Alaska - Another tormented woman who took her life on New Year's Eve can be found in the last stall on the left in the women's bathroom at the Captain Cook Hotel. Except, for her peace of mind and those using the facility, the possessive potty poltergeist's stall has been bolted shut from the inside to try and appease her restless --and sometimes expressive-- manifestations. Energy vortexes around the world - For those interested in ushering in the New Year with good vibrations, a visit to an energy vortex might be just the thing. We mention eight: Sedona, Arizona; Mount Shasta in California; Maui's Haleakalā Volcano in Hawai; Glastonbury and Stonehenge in England; Es Vedra off Ibizia's coast in Spain; the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt; and the Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico. NOTE Because this episode mentions suicide, we feel it's important to stress that if you suspect someone you know is contemplating suicide, or you yourself are, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-272-8255. You don't have to brave the darkness alone.

In GBA 276 we get better acquainted with Rob Auton. He talks about finding words, what driving lessons taught him about art, what exactly it is that he does, trying to find the right balance of confidence and worry, and so much more. As I try to fit him into boxes like introvert, depression and wizard, he nimbly avoids all the labels and reaches instead for the specifics and universals of this strange experience we call being human.

With Rebecca Green, Lloyd Robinson, Rachel Rankin and Harry Giles. Now that the Fringe is over and we don't have to pretend to like all the poets from England anymore, Poets Against Humanity returns from its August venue (downstairs on the left in the Banshee Labyrinth) to its true home (downstairs on the right in the Banshee Labyrinth). Recorded live on the 24th October 2016. Apologies for the sound quality. Poets Against Humanity is a not-for-profit Creative Commons remix of 'Cards Against Humanity'.

Rumit Somaiya has spent the past 25 years touring casinos throughout the world with his team. Their aim is simply to overcome the ‘House Advantage’ using all cerebral methods available, in order to amass fortunes. Most people don’t understand the maths of gambling and sadly addiction is a major issue. Rumit spoke for us at our September Skeptics in the Pub event and while his massively-visual talk wasn't really podcastable (seriously, he turned the Banshee Labyrinth into a casino), we were keen to grab him for our 10 Questions segment to learn a little bit more about a topic that isn't usually at the front of the minds of skeptics... He'll also tell you about his new maths-based project which aims to educate the masses about the reality of betting. Twitter: @rumit2186

With Tina Sederholm, Doug Garry, and Sara Hirsch. Poets Against Humanity returns with another attempt to desecrate the noble and deservedly unpopular art of poetry and spoken word, but this time with poets who don't live in Edinburgh. Recorded live at the Banshee Labyrinth on Monday 15th of August, 2016. Featuring Ross McCleary and a suggestion of Ellen Renton.

As we approach our busiest month we wanted to give you a parting gift until we return in September. This week we have a recording of a talk by one of our committee - David Frank - about the tricks of the trade used by massive global cigarette companies in their advertising - especially in the face of strong legislation. David delivered the talk as part of our monthly film nights in conjunction with the British Science Association before the film Thank You For Smoking. Don't forget! If you're in Edinburgh or close to it, or if you're going to be here during the Fringe, you should check out our Skeptics on the Fringe 2016 line up. We'll be doing nightly talks between the 6th-28th August at the Banshee Labyrinth on Niddry Street. All events start at 7:50pm. Twitter: @TheDF http://www.davidfrank.com.au

The time has come to release our 2016 Skeptics on the Fringe lineup, and we thought we'd try something a little different. Join 4 of our committee Ewan Leeming, Mark Pentler, Claudia Schaffner and Sean Slater as we preview the lineup, discuss the topics and take the piss out of Skeptics With A K a wee bit... We'll be taking a break during August to actually run the Fringe show, which takes place from 6th-28th August. Every show starts at 7:50pm at the Banshee Labyrinth on Niddry Street (just off the Royal Mile). Shows are free to attend, but we do ask for donations to help cover the cost of putting on events and running the society. Skeptics on the Fringe is part of PBH's Free Fringe. www.edinburghskeptics.co.uk/ www.twitter.com/EdSkeptics
